"Not a Close Parallel"

Surprising q farmer employing SIX
farmhands We're a candidate for governor
OF Vermont and supposing those six
farmhands thought enough of the ability
and sincerity of the farmer to say Il
word n behalf of the farmers candidacy
when the chance came their way Would
the farmer be accused of building up a
machine Would he be told to shut
the mouths OF his six farmhands? Would
he be slyly informed that such is invidi.
Gus politics? Would he be told to pre-
vent those six farmhands from doing or
saying anything which might by any
manner of means be construed as favor
ing the candidacy of said farmer? We
think not.-Barre Times.
The above is the opening paragraph oil
an article in response to suggestions in
certain newspapers regarding the posi-
bility OF political machine composed
OF National Life Insurance company's
agents.
Our Barre contemporary is certainly
standing Loyalty by its candidate; but
when it undertakes to parallel six farm
hands with an army of direct business
representatives it fails to produce par
allel that is genuinely close.
The right of the six farmers" to give
or withhold their individual support in
connection with their employers politi-
cal aspirations could not be questioned;
and the same right belongs, indisputably,
to the insurance agents. In the one case,
anything like concerted action would be
regarded as a personal compliment; in
the other the personal compliment fea-
ture would be present just the same, but
anything like concerted action would
smack so strongly of the machine
flavor as to disturb the anti-maehine
forces throughout the state. However,
these direct representatives of Yer
mont's big insurance concern will no
doubt size up the situation discreetly
and follow "the rules of the game" as
laid down by their estimable chief both
before and since his coming into the
arena.-Ludlow Tribune.

How Fishes Breathe.

By means of their gills fish breathe
the air dissolved in water. The oxygen
consumed by them is not that which
forms the chemical constituent Of the
water, but that contained in the air
which is dissolved in the water. Fishes
transferred to water from which the
air has been driven out by high tenn
perature or in which the air absorbed
by them is not replaced are soon suffo-
Gated. They require aerated water to
maintain life and they take 1t in con.
stantly through their mouths and expel
1t through their gills. retaining the air.
1t follows that If the water in lake
should be completely cut of from con-
tact with the air long enough to ex-
haust the supply Of air the fish in the
lake would die. 1t would take severe
and pretty long continued freeze to
accomplish this, but it might happen
and doubtless has frequently happened
with a small body of water.-St Nicho-

MOUTH HYGIENE IMPORTANT
More Physical Deterioration Than
Produced by Alcohol.

The influence Of dental diseases up
on the general health because Of the
unsanitary conditions which dental d.
eeases produce in the mouth, is much
more disastrous than has generally
been understood. though their effects
are becoming more clear with increas-
ing knowledge. There has long been
a disposition to regard the mouth and
its condition as Of no consequence In
its relation to health, instead Of look
ton; the avenue through which must
pass all food upon which the nourish.
ment Of the body and the maintenance
Of health depends. Pure food laws are
right and should be enforced, but q
clean mouth is an equally important
factor in the conservation Of the ma
tional health.
! Regarding the Importance Of mouth
hygiene DR.. VIM. Osler says: There
IL not any one single thing more i'm
portant In the whole range of hygiene
than the hygiene Of the mouth. II /

steal deterioration was produced by
alcohol or by defective teeth, should

DR.. VIM. Hunter OF London makes this
statement regarding the effects OF I'M
sanitary mouths: 81 desire to point
out how common a cause Of disease IT
is, how grave are its effects. how con-
stantly It is overlooked and what re
markedly beneficial effects can be got
from its removal" Concerning the in
fuence Of such conditions upon the
nose. throat and lungs DIR. Wadsworth
says: From the hygienic standpoint,
the secretions of the mouth consti.
tutes the chief. II not the only source
Of respiratory Infections, and the In.
fectious material is transferred from
one person TO another, In some cases
through the air, as from sneezing or
coughing. and to an even more serious
extent by personal contact, or by the
use in common Of the various acces.
SORES of life" As II is the child who
is most susceptible to decay of the
teeth, with consequent unclean mouth
so 1t is the child who Is the greatest
sufferer, especially as 1t affects his
growth and development Concerning
its effect in relation to infectious d.
sease DIR. Henry G. Langworthy says:
"A foul mouth and decaying teeth par
ticularly In children, decidedly in
crease the chances Of catching such
contagious and infectious diseases a,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles and
tuberculosis. A clean mouth win dc
much to prevent tubercle baciIli from
gaining a foothold in the body"
In brief, dental diseases of whatever
nature. always mean an unclean mad
unhealthy mouth. But they mean more
than this. and this Is the important
thing TO be remembered, they are tbs
cause Of other and more serious con
ditions, such as digestive disorders
