ATHENS AFRAID BUL CARS

lBombardment of varna is

EFLEET SOON TO ATTACK
French Assert They Have Ex-
PEELED the Germans from
Their High Trenches.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Proclama-
ttion of martial law In Greece is re-
ported unofiicially to be imminent.
Although no information of this re-
port Is available there is evidence Of
growing uneasiness at Athens over
the possibility that Bulgarian troops
will cross the border.
The only thing which has occurred
ito relieve the situation is the an
announcement that the Bulgarian of
ficer in command OF the force, which
iclashed with the Greeks in Epirus,
has been punished and that the In
'cident is considered closed.
The mystery Of the bombardment
tof Varna, which was al. first depicted
as a formidable Russian attack on
the chief Bulgarian port, has stirred
London. but, according to reports
from both sides, 1t was nothing more
than minor action among torpedo
boats in which the shore batteries
participated. However, large Rus
'sian fleet is said to be in the vicinity
sof Varna and the action may be
merely the preliminary to serious
Russian attack.

The white coat of the operator rep
resents more than comfort; it is the
symbol of neatness. The dentist who
works with unclean instruments, who
provides soiled linen, or who places Il
common drinking glass before his pa
tient, should be judged accordingly.
Fortunately, the members CT the pro-
fession who do these things are crit
icised and suffer from loss of patron
age, SO that there is strong tendency
ON the part of dentists to maintain
their surroundings above reproach.

Thorough studies of the sterilization

health service, at the request of var
ious dental associations throughout the
country, and in recent publication of
that service detailed information will

DENTAL INSTRUMENTS.

The possibility of the transmission
OF disease through the medium of den
tai instruments has probably been con
sdered by every occupant of the den
lists chair. 1t constitutes one OF the
fears with which a patient is possess

his period of treatment. Authorita-

contagious in this manner are eX-
tremely rare, tbs frequency not being
determinable, although few will deny
the possibilities of occurrences of
this character.
The list of organisms which may
contaminate dental instruments is for
midable, but this does not mean that
the diseases of which they are the
causative factors necessarily ensue if
they are accidentally carried into the
mouth, Their presence upon dental
instruments is, however, an indication
OF what the surgeons call poor tech

"Tanlac," to my mind, is the great

For two years l have suffered with

indigestion, and fell off in weight from
210 pounds to 1862. l am now back at

| weighed before was taken sick. About
| six months ago. l got awful ad off,
and called in the doctor, and he told
me | had an ulcer of the stomach, and
il l was not careful it might turn
! into cancer He gave me some medi-
cine. l didn't seem to get any better,
and was afraid to eat anything except
little oatmeal and sweep milk but
in spite of everything 1 could do,
Just kept going down hill, and got
weaker every day. | got so disheart-
ened one day I told my employer it
looked like l would have to throw up
my job. l was trying to hold on
though as long as l could, for l had
family to support, and 1 made up my
mind that just as long as could drag
myself around would stick it out.
"One day my wife told me what
she had read in the papers, and what
the neighbors were saying about Tan
lac and begged me to try it. She had
read about a man who had taken it,
who described my case exactly, and he
was getting lots better, but had tried
all kinds of medicines, so l didn't
have much hope of it doing me much
gnod. Besides, my doctor had already
told me | would haev to be operated
on in order to get relief. Something
Just told me though, ii night help me
and | decided to try it.
after l had taken it a day or two
l got so hungry I just simply had to
eat. and I did eat, and you can believe
me or not, nothing seemed to hurt
NE a particle. My wife said to me,
, 'Tanlac must be helping you and l
said. L guess it is from the way
am eating
ut wasn't long before those awful
pains in my stomach and the small
CT my back began to leave me. Then
I began to sleep better, and | would
get I'D in the mornings full of life
and ready to work. The medicine
seemed to take hold quicker than any
thing ever saw, and braced me right

Before election day came round,
Our easements oft gave room
To pictures of the candidates,
Whom father wished to boom
Men came and argued long and loud
Talked principles and news,
And father everything forgot
Except his voting views.
While mother seemed a background
gray
But this year you will haply find
It's quite different case,
For votes for women posters fill
Up every shadow space,
The women are the callers now,
They chant the suffrage creed,
And mothers all absorbed in thoughts
Of working at full speed.
A foreground role at last she plays,
These just-before election days.
And as rnw spirit fills her eyes,
And rings from out her voice,
In fire and self-respecting notes,
1t makes my heart rejoice.
And l SO hope the chance that's come
Will at the polls be made
lasting good that she may stand
By father unafraid.
So that they both will be Away
Quite equal on election day.

FAVORS NAVAL AUXILIARY.

George r. JOluSOIi, SShSASSA A.'-
ger and part owner of the Endicott-
Johnson Co., among the largest shoe
manufacturers in the world, has d.
clared his preference for Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo's plan of naval
auxiliary marchant marine as against
privately owned merchant marine
with government subsidy. Mr.. john
sens statement was given at Johnson
City ,one of the two towns near Bling
hamton, N Y, occupied by the factor
les of his concern The company ship
ped goods to the value of $20,000,000
in 1914.
81 do not believe in government
props for private enterprises, whether
they be ship subsidies or any other
similar payments" said Mr.. Johnson.
THE subsidy is all wrong in princi-
PIE. If we are to build a merchant
marine in order to develop our COM
merce, and to serve as naval auxil-
larry in our general plan of national
defense, then we should do it in some
more rational way.
eff it were possible that private en-
terprise would take care of this situa-
ton, ! would favor leaving it wholly
to that remedy. But the cost Of build
ing vessels in this country and the
operating of vessels under the Ameri-
can flag, is greater than it is in Eng
land or Germany. That compels us
to use government funds to promote
the establishment of an American
merchant marine, if we are to have
any. And granting that we must have
American vessels, we must either have
them financed by the government
through public ownership, or through
subsidy Between the two plans, 4
would not hesitate in choosing govern
ment ownership.
Il have great faith in President Will
son. | believe that he has given this
matter careful study, and | think that
his decision in favor of this plan is
worthy of the respect of our American
anufacturers and shippers. He plans
To establish government shipping
board, which shall undertake the work
o. building the ships in American ship
yards and of operating certain lines OF
vessels to open up new export mar
kets in South America. He proposes,
under this plan, to make the shipping
board directly responsible for show
ing for whatever public funds shall
be devoted to building up our mer-
chant marine That plan is much bet
ter than any payment of subsidies to
private capital, which would not be
equally accountable to the public.
Our need of an American merchant
marine is one of the things which the
European war has forced upon our at
tcntion. 1t is like a good navy and a
large citizen soldiery-one of the items
IN our defense program which the new
conditions compel us to consider. Nov
that we do see the need, we should
adopt the most direct and RESPONSE
tie method of supplying it. The ad-
ministration shipping plan has been
drawn after painstaking study of the
situation. 1t has the approval of Pres
| ident Wilson, whom l believe all pol
iiical parties should join in re-electing
un-opposed next year"
