EASTER SUNDAY was a very great day for Al-
bany. We had the collejre student* home. Many
family reunions were held. The day dawned cold and
bright and many Albanyites got up early to uttend
the sunrise service at the Firat Chriatian church.
Kaster came early this year, but that didn't keep
the Easter bonnet* from appearing. However, the
menfolk wore their old winter clothes.

It's 00 miles from Fort Stockton
to Alpine—and did you imagine
that there was that much of a
stretch of highway left in the Unit-
ed States that doesn't have a single
filling station?
You pass clone to the spot at
which the Confederate veteran,
Powe, was killed in a dispute about
a steer at a roundup. This animal,
because he had cost a human life,
• was branded "M-U-R-D-K-K" and
then (turned loose to roam. Men
said that other cattle seemed to
shun the creature. Short stories
and ballads have been written
about the "murder steer."
Cas Edwards lives in Alpine, lie
knows the shories about the peaks
and cave* of that region. He used
to play baseball and he's the busi-
ness manager of the semi-pro dub
which has a beautiful park, with a
fence of native rock. It would be
pretty hard to watch one of their
games through a knot-hole, would-
n't) it?
Yearn ago. Edwards devi.-ed a
helicopter. Also he experimented
with a device to heat a house with
the rays of the sun. And ho writes
verse in fact, he published a book
of good Western rhymes a couple
of years back, published the book
himself 1,600 copies, and sold
'em all. And that's mighty good.
In fact, it's like the little boy
who was asked, "How much is 10
times 9?" and he said. "Ninety,"
and the teacher declared, "That's
good." The boy said, "Good, h—;
it's perfect!"
1 once met a man who was rated
as worth $7,000,000. When we
met again, he shook hands and
smiled. Afterward, a mutual ac-
quaintance said, "He likes you'
that was mighty cordial for him."
Beckon a fellow who has $7,-
000,000 has to be on his guard all
the time to keep somebody from
"getting to him" for a chunk of
cash. A millionnaire can never be
sure that he is liked for himself
and not for his money. That must
make life a rather lonesome sort
of thing.
And all this man's millions
couldn't' save him when a locomo-
tive struck his automobile.

The woman customer was hard
to please, and the grocer was in-
wardly exasperated. Finally, after
all her purchases were made to her
satisfaction, she said, "1 had a ter
rihle pain in tiio neck when I came
into the store, and now it's gone. I
wonder what became of it '.'"
The grocer replied very politely,
"Madame, I've got it."

Everybody knows that good
teeth are important to good looks.
How many time* is an otherwise
attractive face completely changed
when its owner smiles and reveals
badly-formed, discolored or decay-
ed teeth ?
The damage that neglected teeth
does to health is less obvious, but
much more important. Digestion
begins in the mouth when the teeth
grind the food and cut it into small
pieces. If the teeth cannot per-
form this important function pro-
perly because they are diseased,
broken or missing, interference
with the very first step in digestion
is the result. Harmful bacteria
from badly decayed or infected
teeth enter the blood stream. Neg-
lected teeth are often the source
of such serious illnesses as rheu-
matism, arthritis and sinus trouble.
Too many people never go near
the dentist until they are driven to
it by the torment of a toothache.
Nine times out of ten, these ago
nizing experience- would never
happen if the person were in the
habit of regular visits to the den-
tist's office.
Regular visits to the denti I
should begin in babyhood. The
child should be brought to the den-
tist as soon as he has his first' set
of teeth, usually at about two and
a half years of age. The first teeth
guide the permanent teeth into
place and should be allowed to
come out naturally unless the den-
tist advises otherwise. When baby
teeth are lost too soon, the per-
manent teeth frequently are
crowded and out of place. On the
other I land, the dentist may see a
baby tooth that is remaining too
long and extract It at the proper
time to help regular formation of
the permanent teeth.
The early habit of regular visits
to the dentist should be retained.
The dentist is the only one who
can detect cavities and treat them
before the tooth becomes decayed
or inferted. The result will be
fewer toothaches, fewer painful
treatments and a longer life for
the teeth.
Proper food is a'so important to
health and life of the teeth. Plenty
of milk, citrus fruits and vegeta-
bles such as tomatoes contain the
minerals, calcium and phosphorus,
necessary to strong teeth. Chew-
ing coarse foods and raw vege-
tables and fruits helps keep teeth
and gums healthy. But that does
not mean abusing ttye teeth by
cracking nuts or biting hard metal-
ic objects.
Brushing the teeth carefully at
least' twice a day, in the morning
and before retiring, loosens harm-
ful bacteria from the surface of
the teeth and -o discourage- their
decay. Your dentist will show you
the correct way to brush your
teeth. Although there is no spec-
ial toothbrush or dentifrice that
will < ure or prevent decay, regular
