WHAT'S IN THE MOUTH,

A prominent newspaper pub
Iished in Philadelphia recently
devoted an editorial two columns
wide and about column long to
the subject Of decayed teeth.
The text was Sir William Osler's
staement that decayed teeth
were causing more harm than al.
cohOl to the human race. Many
are suffering from septic poison
ing, and do not know what is
he matter with them.
A late number of the Dental
Summary makes the situation in
this Country clear. In the Unit
ed States, forty-five thousand
dentists are busy. Working all
the time, they would be able to
care for the mouths of about
fifteen million persons. This
leaves about eighty-five million
persons who give little atten-
tion to the cleanliness of their
mouths, except when a tooth
aches so Intolerably that they
must do something. Then the
best they can do is to have it
out. Other treatment they would
consider too expensive.
But a great many persons who
are well able to care for them
selves, Will no go to a dentist
Through ignorance, fear or neg
lect, the matter is put off. They
DO not appreciate that bad
tooth may account for a Joint
Stlffcned by rheumatism, or for
many other ills. At the base of
many tooth lies well covered
abcess which is slowly poisoning

the oblivious owner of the tooth.

Have you ever noticed wood
turner's take up a rough piece Of
wood, run it first through one
lathe and then another, and have
1t come out a polished and per-
feet piece Of furniture or other
article of daily use?
That is exactly what the Off
GERS of the army are doing with
the young men now on the Mex
lean border.
Doctors and thinking men
generally admit that military
training is the greatest possible
aid to intellectual, physical and
moral development. The daily
exercise gradually works the
raw and awkward youth into a
physically perfect and self reli-
ant man; discipline implants in
his mind the Necessity and desir-
ability of respect for his super
iors and for his fellow man; the
intelligence and high standard

JUST NEIGH BORLiNE>>

Stop a minute, Think Of the
great humanizing quality Of
neighborhness.
Contrast a community where II
thrives and fIourishes with one
where it is a negligible guam
tlty.
Consider how gregarious a
creature is man, and how his
very nature demands intercourse
with his fellows.
Sit down and reckon up the
per cent Of your comfort and
happiness that depends in whole
or in part on the good will Of
your neighbOrs.
Think what YOU would be with
out neighhors-a modern Robin
son Crusoe. a hermit.
Honestly now, don't about
nine tenths Of the enjoyments of
life come either directly or indi-
rectly from your neighbors?
They certainly do.
Well. now, are you doing your
part as a nelghbor? Remember,
your neighbor needs a neighbor
as badly as you do-and you are
he. Are YOU doing your part to
pass along the little acts of
neighborliness and kindness that
are extended to you? Or are you
like the sponge. absorb until you
are full and never give up unit!
YOU are squeezed?
Now a k yourself this ques-
tion: What would this world
be if every other man were just
like me?"

SEND IN THE NEWS

1t is occasionally we'll for a
weekly newspaper to remind it's
readers that the average pub
Usher is not clairvoyant; that his
occult powers are not sufficient
ly developed to enable him to
sense the news, before it has
been enunciated to him in the
ordinary manner; that he has no
way of gathering news from the
atmosphere.
1t frequently happens that
some persons are disappointed, if
not offended, when the particu-
lar news which they desire to
see published does not appear,
and yet they do not think it
worth while to send or telephone
the news to the paper.
On a big daily newspaper a
staff of men and women are en-
ployed whose business it is to do
nothing else but gather news.
Besides this, these papers have
at their command the services of
the great international news
gathering agencies. But coun-
try weekly newspaper cannot af-
ford to do this, and must rely al
most solely upon those who are
familiar with what is occurring
in their particular localities to
"holler."
Don't blame the publisher if
his paper fails to print that item
you want to see in print! Blame
yourself. The publisher would
be ''tickled to death" if YOU
would bring or send it to him.

esty if you walk right into his

The above item of news"
from the Perkins County Signal
Of last week is another example
Of the Signal editors capacity
for 'erring" when an error has
a tendency TO elevate some of
the Signals political friends in
the opinion Of the people.
We wish to call the attention
Of the editor-manager of the Sig
nal to he fact that Mr.. QUAIL
went to Watertown at the re-
quest of the county board and
also at the expense of the coun-

county will derive some benefit
from the trip, it is something
that the county is paying for
and therefore entitled to.
The Signal must do some ching,
however, to repay the commits

that sheet in its appointment as
official paper. As one of the
commissioners stated in explana-

When you have read through
this issue of the paper just take
time enough to let one fact sink
into your active brain The paper
on which this issue is printed
has cost us approximately triple
what it cost us two years ago.
The ink we used is way up in
price. The oil that keeps the
press revolving is up in price.
The power that moves the ma
chinery is much higher. In fact
every item of expense is up in
the clouds and many are way
above them, and every dollar
of expense means that amount
of money right out of our pock-
ct. A great many people seem
to be under the impression that
the printer is holding them up
when he asks more money for
his goods than he did formerly.
A printers life is hard indeed.
If he charges enough so that he
can make a profit to meet his
bills, he's a hold-up. And if he
runs in debt printing goods at
a loss, he's thief.-Exchange.

ADJUSTMENTS
Chief Bender, After IA Years In
Baseball, Has Batters Guessing

Let us pay tribute to the pitch
Ing of Chief Bender, greatest OF
the Chippewas, former inyineible
moundman for Connie Mack, now,
at an age when most pitchers have
either crept back to the minors or
are entirely out of baseball, one
OF the leading hurlers of the Ma
tionarleague and one of the most
effective in baseball.
Bender, the Indian, passed up
in 1914 by Connie Mack as a has
been, along with Eddie Plank and
Jack Coombs, has come back this
year outpitched both Of the others
and strengthened the belief that
Mack didn't know what he was do
ing when he released the trio.
Bender shut out the Cubs few
days ago allowing one hit. 1t was
his third successive shutout and
his fourth straight victory.
In the three shutoutS he
allowed a total of eight hits,
one against Chicago, three
against Pittsburg and four
against Boston, "A record that
any pitcher might we'll he
proud of.
Bender's marvellous eyes, said
to be the keenest in baseball,
which have not failed under the
strain of years of baseball, his
wonderful nerve, which has car
ried him thru many hard games
and his Chippewa cunning have
done more than his failing pitch
ing arm to bring him back in the
baseball spotlight.
When Bender was released by
the Phillies last season, after d
disastrous year, 1t was believed
the Indian had seen his last sea-
son In big league baseball.
He won seven games, losing the
same number, allowing almost
four earned runs per game.
This year he has allowed only
a trifle over two earned runs per
game and his performances dur
ing the last three weeks have
been equal to his best seasons.
Bender's one-hit game was
perhaps the best game of his
career. The one hit was more
or less fluky. Only three men
reached first base, two on
passes. Five Cubs famed.
Bender showed n fast ball
with live hop to II, dazzling
curves and perfect control.
Here's the record of Bender's
last four games:
Aug. 81, shut out Chicago with
one hit.
Aug. IT, shut out Pittsbure
with three hits.
Aug. 10, shut out Boston with
four hits.
Aug. 5, won from Chicago 5 tc
2 with six hits against him.
