The Hope of the Poles.

There are more Poles today In the
world than ever before, and their
fecundity is unrivaled. Their national
feeling was never deeper rooted or
more intelligent. If a Pole tells you he

many or Russia or Austria he is lying
for eXpediency's sake. The Pole wants
only one thing, and that is independ-
ence. In this are they not like every
other nation worth its salt? Are you

ty of Wilma "Sire," answered the rec

sive measures because postmasters
were chosen for their popularity rather
than for their business ability.
The plan proposed would make post
mastership a business which a man
must first qualify for before receiving
an appointment. 1t would make pos
sible the promotion of a postmaster
from a small Office to a larger one.
and instead Of installing a postmaster
for four year term to remain in one
place he would he installed in the Of
fee he is best fitted for. If it We're
found that postmaster serving in ar
Office with receipts of $4,000 was quail
flied to serve in an office with receipts
Of 100000 he would be in line for pro-
motion to Such an Office.
By this method the service, it is de-
clared, would be improved and at the
same time would be economical and
placed OH business basis.
The proposed change would affect
9,192 postmasters, the number now ap-
pointed by the president. OF these 56T
are first class. 2,212 second class and
6,413 third class.

loidal poisons habitually is safer from
every standpoint, save the anti-toxic
power of the habit-forming alkaloid.
If he has no toxins to counteract, the
alkaloids will prove to be toxic. 1t is
possible that even his germs and their
products will not be acted upon by his
alkaloid His alkaloid is then a waste.
The mouth is portal of entry for all
nourishment and common sense requires
that it be kept clean. Unclean teeth
show neglect just as decay in a tooth
shows it. If the mouth is thoroughly
cleansed before and after meals, many
of our diseases, mental and physical,
will be cured and prevented. The gum
chewing habit has az good points at
least; O it takes food particles from
between the teeth, the seat of most be-
ginning decay, (2) it sweetens the
breath, (3) makes pleasant taste and
az hence "a pleasant disposition.
Teeth and mouth poisons show so many
different symptoms in different individu-
ais and even in the same individual at
different times that it is gigantic task
to enumerate them. Some are mental
and some are physical; some acute and
others are chronic; they may be too
mild to attract attention and they may
be severe enough to produce death of
tissue, the liberation of cancer or even
the dissolution of the body.
1t is significant that cancer of vari-
Gus parts of the body occurs most fire.
quently after the age that teeth show
the effects of lack or proper daily care.
We speak of the cancer susceptibility
in persons.
Teeth and mouth poisons may enter
the body and never cause pain, yet il
is possible for their toxins to cause
palpitation of the heart and even sud-
den heart failure. Insanity and vary
ing degrees of mental deterioration has
been traced to defective teeth. Com
mon symptoms of tooth and mouth poi
sons are socalled rheumatism, neural
gia, wry neck (torticollis), headache,
nervousness, loss of appetite, diseases
of organs far from the focus in the
mouth.
Much of the bad temper that is
shown is due to pathology which can
be cured by proper teeth and mouth
care and treatment.
Lung diseases follow oftener from
that source than is supposed.
