Guarding American Honor.

From the st. Paul dispatch
No one who IL Jealous of the honor and
integrity of American institutions can
feel other than profoundly grateful that
Mayor Dom NJ. Roberts, Of Terre Haute,
Ind, and his whole crew OF political
henchmen who corrupted the elections In
their home town last November were
promptly found guilty by the federal jury
at indianapolis.
Such a Wholesale voting debauch as
they INDUCED in-or engineered-not, only
sullies the fair name Of their city and
commonwealth, but provides the enemies
of American democratic institutions with
too much basis for attack. A Lecky
might describe the Terre Haute election
fraud as the ~inseparable accompaniment
Of universal suffrage and as convincing
evidence Of the defects of democracy.
We know, OF course, that such q conclu-
sion would be wrong. But there are al
ways certain elements In the community
who are ready to take advantage Of their
great privileges and corrupt them to pri-
vate ends. Against them. and in behalf
of the America whose honor we are jeal-
Gus of, we must be eternally vigilant.
Let US hope, then, that Judge Ander-
son, OF the I~ndianapolis federal court,
metes out to the Terre Haute offenders
punishment equivalent to their crime, and
puts them behind the bars for a while,
where they may mediate on the hard
way Of the transgTessor. 4

HOW ABOUT YOUR TEETH7

How would your teeth come through
the scrutiny that the, teeth OF tho
wounded soldiers Of all nationalities In
the American war hospitals are sub
jected to?
1t Is said that the attention paid to
tho teeth of the wounded by the Ameri-
can Ambulance corps Is In large part
responsible for the quick recovery OF
the wounded in their charge. In their
examination OF the teeth OF h wound
ed, doctors and nurses and dentists
have found that the teeth Of the Arabs
are almost perfect. by far the best teeth
that come under their notice. The teeth
of the English are the worst. and those
OF the French, too, are bad.
Now Just the reason for this diff
ference In tooth quality has no been
explained. But II seems quite prob
able that some OF It is caused by the
diet Of the peoples concerned. Certain
It Is, anyway. that the complicated
food that most of US eat a a bad eff
feet upon the teeth. Soft foods, over
cooked nj overseasoned, are not good
for the teeth, as everybody knows. So
n Of h things that we should all do
when we are looking out for the well
fare Of our teeth Is to look to u diet.
Children should be taught to masti-
cate everything thoroughly, and they
should be trained on hard food, food
that needs mastication to make IL pala-
table and digestible, Bread a couple OF
days old, twice baked bread. and other
things that exercise the teeth should
be q part Of their diet, as much for the
sake Of the teeth as for the sake OF the
digestion.
or course. cleanliness Is OF first i'm
portance In preserving the teeth. Some
persons with really fine teeth do not
use a brush more than once a day. Az
ter each meal, however. they wash the
teeth with water. and rub them with a
cloth or the finger, n give them one
thorough brushing with paste or pow
der or liquid dentifrice. But the con-
slant brushing, they contend, scratches
and eventually weakens the enamel
It is of the utmost Importance. OF
course, to keep the teeth free from all
bits of food that become lodged be-
tween them, and to further this work
dental floss Is invaluable.
Especially at night the teeth should
be carefully cleaned, for any bit Of fer
menting substance, like a tiny piece of
meat left between the teeth. might
cause great damage before morning.

On the cover of Golfers Weekly for

"a Visit to the Kaiser by Senator Albert
J. BeVeridge." Above 1t Is a facsimile Of
Mr.. Beverages letter to Mr.. Mark Sulli-
van. assuring him n the public that
every statement in the article was true
and officially sanctioned by the imperial
German government. Perhaps, In the
careless fashion of readers, you say to
yourself: Here is a piece Of journalism
an Interview between a senator and an
emperor" Then you turn to the article.
You learn that Mr.. Beveridge visited
William II, and ak with him in the
garden for two hours; that the monarch
does not look older than his age suggests;
tina his complexion is pale, with a faint
tinge OF color; that his voice is vibrant
and strong. And you are told what Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz and Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg said to Mr.. Beverage. OF
what the kaiser said in those two hours
there Is no hint. Perhaps Mr.. Beverage
did all the talking. Perhaps the kaiser
may not be quoted. At any rate. only a
very gullible person would suppose that
the announcement Of "A Visit to the
Kaiser" implies that you AVE anything
to report. 1t is sufficient to prove that
there was a visit to the kaiser. And
tina truth Golfers has established for all
time, at the expense Of Its readers.
