CLEAN MOUTHS. GOOD HEALTH.

That the mouth is the source of so
much trouble-not that which pro-
eeeds out of the mouth but that which
remains inside,-is surprising to most
people, even to those who have long
been familiar with this oral cavity
and its various functions. But mouth
hygiene is now considered a big health
question and a most important factor
iE. the conservation of health.
Health workers tell us form their
experience that in order to reform a
dull hayward boy at school. by going
to his mouth and cleaning it up even
to his nOstrils, and adenoids perhaps.
in nine cases out of ten the remedy is
found and improvement begins. We
are also told that s~uppurating gums
and diseased tonsils not only cause a
bad breath and indigestion but thai
they are frequently the sources of the
poisons that cause rheumatism and
neuralgia. 1t, is readily seen how a
dirty mouth may be a hot bed OF
germs, and when we come to think OF
it. it is all the more to be wondered
at that more people are not really i'll
from constantly carrying around witt
them a mouth full of poisons.
DIR. Harvey w. Wiley says of mouth
hygiene:
Il have long been convinced that WE
do not value as we should the mouth
as a subject of hygiene. AS I have
studied the awful reports of school in,
Spection, especially as reGards The
teeth of school children, not only my
interest but my sympathy has beer
aroused.
And when 1 see men and wome1
in youth and early age, n befor,
middle age. toothless as you see 8,
many Of them. / say: What a sham,
Il is that these organs which were in
tended to be with US as long as W
lived should be sacrificed in some way
due in most instances to lack OF In
asiene kRoWiadee.'"

Fourth at Montrose, Great
Professor Whalen'S Opinion

at the quarantine line. The officials
were looking for baseball infection,
and it was with difficulty that those
officials we're sufficiently convinced
that such infection was not aboard the
train and we were allowed to pass on
to the depot and unload. Later in
the day the score proved that our boys
were not only free, but were entirely
immune from such infection.
Arriving up town, some excitement
attracted our attention and we soon
saw that the olympian games were in
progress.
The ball game was called just about
on time and everybody started to en-
joy it.
One serious interruption really pre-
vented catching the announcement as
the Delta boys run in the scores
Montrose made so much noise that we
lost out in keeping tab on Delta's
scores. On the train home everybody
was talking ball. Even those who
dropped their "wad." The writer
heard one fellow say. 1T is my last
chance on the Delta baseball team
and l think myself nightly lucky to
have my ticket to get home on"
In Delta all the evening the talk
was ball." ball" ball" "Yes, but
he threw the ball over three times;
he muffed the ball all the time" "He
might have made score "If he
caught a ny he let II drop. ETC." II
seemed to be very grave matter for
those who dropped their "wad." We
did not hear OF any accidents, and
there seemed to be no further event
just ball"
And thus another glorious Fourth

S<Watchful Wait
in8'' Maintained

Immediate Intervention in Mexico
is thought to have been averted by
Carranza's backdown and the return
of American prisoners held.
This was to have been expected,
and the same procedure will presum-
ably go on, time without limit, unless
the attacks which will always threaten
our soldiers SO long as they remain in
Mexican territory, shall at any time be
made, and which will demand action on
the part of this nation.
1t will require the constant guarding
of our border by large forces, to pre-
vent Mexican raids, and that, in time,
will become very expensive.
There is really no other way but for
this nation to take charge of Mexican
affairs in some way and plans to that
end should be made, for the sooner it
is done, the better it will be for this
country and for the people Of Mexico,
for, until that is done, our borders
will be constantly menanced and there
resources.
Let us have done with this meddling
for political effect. Mexico needs our
help and we are in position to grant
it upon some sort of business terms.
The situation demands a houseclean-
ing for our sake and theirs.
1t is not a matter of conquest-per-
haps not a matter of war. 1t is, how
ever, a matter of restoring order, at
whatever cost, and of permanently
changing existing conditions, which
must mean, American control.

False Reports of
Typhoid Cases

Independent is informed that stories
are going around over Surface Creek
to the effect that there are 80 cases
of typhoid in Delta. Well, that only
misses it ninety. On careful inquiry
we learn that there are either two
cases at present, or was two. At any
rate the number of cases here has
been below the quota of other towns of
Delta's size in the state. The cases
were not contracted here in Delta, in
fact they were brought here to the
hospital. AS near as can be learned
the parties contracted same from
the nearby country. Such unreason-
able stories, however, are harmful. and
should not be repeated without an in
