SECOND MARRIAGE,

TO SAME MAN.

**DEAD" FIRST HUSBAND TANQLE.

Behind a notice of marriage enter ed in a London register office liea a remarkable story of a man report ed dead in the Boer war, who re- appeared a short time aftor his wife's second marriage.

DELUSIONS,

WIFE'S UNAVAILING EFFORTS.

The story of a wife's desperate but unsuccessful attempts to pre vont her husband committing suicide was told by Mrs. Dorey, of Weston-road, Acton Green, at the inquest, at Chiswick, on her hus band, Robert.

In 1919 she appeared in s London court and asked a magistrato's advice as to what her position would be, if she married again. Sho said sli had not scen her husband for nearly 20 years. Sho was advised that she could mairy again, believ ing that her busband was by this tim dead, and need not fear a prosecution for bigamy if it should be afterwards proved that he was alive. Accordingly she was married in a register office,

A year inter she read an account of an accident in which the name of her first husband appeared. She found that the man was her first husband and went to Somarset House and put the cutter before the authorities there. She was told that her second marriage could not hold goal, but no prosecution for bigamy would be undertaken.

Despite her gooond marriage, sho did all in her power to nurse and provide for her first husband, who, however, after a long illness died.

A MAN WHO WAS TRIPLETS,

BY A NATURALIST.

Since no medical authority has come forward, to explain the pheno- tepun of the Vinau who had twins,'- ns. recorded in the China. Mail, may a temą, naturalist point on that the strange case would have been more correctly described as that of a man who was triplets"?

Readers will feinember that the supposed twins were found in a tumour on the man'a side, and that they were represented only by some teeth and hair, with the rudiments of jawbonca.

These fruguments of undeveloped humanity did not, however, repre Bent the ann's children, but his brothers. It was, in fact, a case of the incomplete formation of triplets, only one of the three being a per- fect male embryo.

Similar cases of more or less com- pleta union of twins or triplets aro not very uncommon, culminating in the almight independent existence of "Siamese twins"; and one case, almost identical with that recorded in Reynolds's," came under the writer's antice at Anritsar, in India. where an English surgeon removed from a tumour in the body of a young nativo man two partially developed upper jaws with teeth, above which straggling tufts of hair had been growing from the tumour.

These were identified as the hair's of moustaches which would have been worn by the owners of the teeth, thus indicating their intended

@2x.

It would be interesting to know whether there is any scientific reason for the furt that in these cases only the upper jaws, with teeth and moustachigs, should have had continuous life.

LIFE SENTENCE DESIRE,

THE "CAT" FOR BLACK- MAILERS.

Sentence of five years' penal ser- vitude was passed at the Old Bailey on George William Bayaca, 67, book-keeper, who pleaded guilty to sending a letter demanding £ió to Sir Charles Walpole, chairman of the Surrey Quarter Sessions.

Baynes asked the Recorder, Sir Ernest Wild, K.C., to give him the finiximam term of penal sarvitude:

Sir B. Wild: That is for life. Do you desire that?

Bayner: Yes.

Inspector Mitchell, of Bootland Yard, said that Baynes said he know nothing about Sir Charles Walpole, But merely picked him out bap- Hazard through seeing his name in the papers. Baynes Ind bean con- victed twice in Canada and three times in England. His one object Appeared to be to get into prison. He had called at Scotland Yard nek- ing to be locked up. He said ho was much better treated in prison thon in the workhouse, pe

Sir E. Wild, in sentencing Baynard he was committing crimes apparently for the purpDGE. of being kept at the pubio expense. My only regret, continued Bir B.

Cyril Richens, foreman at South Acton Station, who found the body, said the position was such that Dorey must have laid down and put his head on the rail, A verdict of "“Sulcide while of unsound mind" was recorded.

Film makes teeth dingy You feel on your teeth a viscous film. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. Food stains, etc., cloud that fim. Then it forma a thin dingy coat. Film in also the basis of tartar.

The ordinary tooth paste leaves much of that film intact. Thus most people's teeth, until 'lately, were clouded more or less. Beautiful teeth were less common.

They use it

Flim also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid In contact with the teeth to cause decay.` Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, ars the chief cause of pyorrhea.

Most tooth troubles are now traced to film. And, despite the tooth brush, they. became almost universal.

Now millions combat it

Dental science has, for fong, sought ways to fight that fim. Two effective methods have been found. Able authorities, by care- ful texts, proved them beyond question. Now inlions of people are using them daily, largely by dental advice.

One method acts to curdle filip, the other to remove it. And this is done without the use of any harmful scouring agent.
