In satirically simple language it described the city's "boss system" in terms of the spiciest testimony from last year's scandal hunt, let ex-Mayor "Jimmy" Walker damn himself out of his own mouth and left young heads to puzzle over the fortunes party workers collected in tin boxes...
...years rolled on Mrs. Diamond, a phlegmatic woman with a stupid loose mouth, grew fat.

Dentist George Clarence Dreher of Newark, N. J. pondered the use of maggots for cleaning the root canal completely of dead pulp, ordinarily a difficult procedure. Too nice to experiment in a patient's mouth, Dentist Dreher got a freshly-pulled decayed1 front tooth-he reported last week in Dental Survey-and put a fat maggot to work on the decay. The maggot was too fat to get into the root canal...
