Good Teeth--Good Health

1t is literally true that goot
health is impossible without good
teeth.
Competent medical authorities
now have no hesitation in asserting
that a majority Of diseases from
which mankind suffers can be trac-
ed directly or indirectly to mouth
infections to decayed teeth and
diseased gums.
Without good teeth it is impossi-
BILE to masticate the food properly;
without proper mastication food
cannot be properly digested. Indi-
gestion, constipation and other dis
orders Of the digestive tract are
very often caused by decayed teeth,
and disappear so soon as the den
tist has put his patients mouth in
order. DR.. A. F. SEMPERT.

WE'RE WITH you, UNCLE SAM

Our nations enemies will find
when the time comes that patriotism
isn't dead in the United States,
although there has long been very
little occasion for its exercise. For
instance, what good American can
read these lines by James Barton
Adams in the 0rcgonian without a
certain thrill?
While the Nations prayers arise
To the Master in the skies that the
peace We love may never be dis
turbcd. while our frccmcn all at
hor the destructive hand of war
and are striving that their passions
may be curbed; yet, if powers
across the sea by their inhumanity,
by their murderous acts should
break the peaceful calm, with a
war-like flash of eye every patriot
will cry: We are with you to a fin
ish, Uncle Sam" II the final warn
ing sent from our seat of govern
ment to offending powers should
prove of no avail; if the powers
over there in that war-rent land
should dare pluck another feather
from our eagles tail; if the sea
aSSasSins should yet persist in
deeds of blood. then the lion will
supplmt the peaceful lamb. and
all frecmcn will arise and will
cry with flashing eyes: we are
with you to a finish, Uncle SAM"
May the Ruler in the skies open
wide the blinded eyes of the lawless
lords that they may understand
that the Yankees are not meek. will
not turn the other cheek when the
one has felt the sting of shifting
hand. If they do not cease to play
the sea-pirate game the day is ap-
preaching when the acts all nations
lamn will be met with mighty
force and we'll shout till we are
1oarse: Now. go to it! We are
with you, Uncle SAM"

Logan Billingsley's accusation that he

bribe. Under cross-examination May
or Gill denied that in his law practice

the American line to leave the United
States since President Wilson decided TO
arm American merchantmen, reached
here safely yesterday.
Just how near she came to being vic.
tim OF a submarine, or whether she was
in danger, depends on how much evi.
dence is to be placed in rumors which
flew thick and fast aboard the vessel
Sunday night, according TO one story
from passengers, three British destroy
ers of the St Louis fred number of
shots, and when the liner neared the
spot a film of oil was visible on the

Officers OF the St Louis declared the
rumor was only galley talk But they
admitted receiving wireless dispatch
indicating they had lucky escape in
view OF the recent submarine attacks
made on the same route.

Last summer 80 of these farm records
We're secured, 26 of these being for the
second year. These records were sum
married. at the state college and will
soon be returned to the farmers from
whom they were taken.
Some farmers made less the second
year than they did the first year. 9th.
ers took advantage of the results of the
first years work and increased their
profits the second year.
Mr.. X is a progressive farmer.
When Mr.. KS record for 1914 was re.
turned to him by the county agent he
had a chance TO compare the various
points OF his farm business with the
average of all the farms The average
number of cows per farm was Ia. He
had "a. He also had twice as many acres
of crops as the others. His farm business
was larger than the average. The aver
age receipts from milk and its products
sold per COW was SIS. Mr.. KS cows re-
turned him only 500 each. He saw that
that this end of his business needed
strengthening. His crop yields were also
below the average.
Mr.. X saw that the farmers who were
above the average in the size of their
business, receipts per COW and crop yields
had much more profitable farms than the
other farmers. So he came to the con
clusion that if he improved his business
in these points he would do better.
The record for the 1915 years business
on this farm showed the results of Mr..
KS changes He sold off six of his poor
err cows. He had nine heifers freshen
so that in 1915 there was an average Of
q cows, three more than the previous
year. He had enlarged his business. By
selling off the poorer cows and feeding
more efficiently he increased his milk re-
ceipts per cow from 500 in 1914 to $50 in
1915. BY buying little more lime and
fertilizer he increased his crop yields the
second year.
After paying his running expenses and
ieducting per cent interest on his in
yestment Mr.. Y had SSH left as wages
Tor his years work in 1914. In 1915
after making the changes in his farm
business he had 81 ESQ left for his years
work. In both years he had the living
