THE TOOTHBRUSH.

The toothbrush is mightier than
the sword--for a set Of normal teeth
is one Of the greatest aids in the
maintenance Of health. Unless the
toothbrush is used early and late
we cannot keep our teeth in good
condition.
The child should be taught the
necessity OF the use OF a toothbrush
as soon as his first teeth come in.
The value of this lies in getting the
habit early"
But the proper use of tooth
brush is not the simple matter it is
generally considered. 1t should in
clude massaging of the gums, and
should not take less than FIVE min
utes of careful work.
Brush your teeth up and down in
stead of merely sideways. Then the
bristles get well into the cracks and
crevices between the teeth where
particles Of food become closely
packed. This food, of course, decays
if not cleared out and in turn causes
the teeth to rot.
In using your toothbrush WELD 1t
with vigor, but at the same time he
careful that the bristles do not tear
Or pierce the gums, for there is
danger Of local infection following.
If your toothbrush fails to remove
all food particles packed into crevices
between the teeth use waxed dental
floss to remove the decaying debris.
But remember that even dental
floss may cause the same kind of in
gums if snapped through the con-
tact point directly onto the surface
of the gums. Remember, too, that
improper use of the toothpick or
floss may cause he same kind of in
lection as that produced by the
points of the bristles in improper
brushing.
Mouth washes of any simple nat
ure may be used as pleasant toilet
adjunct. Tooth pastes are now popu-
lar but do not really get the results
that a well compounded tooth pow
der does. ..
Have two or three absolutely clean
toothbrushes at hand for your use.
1t is not extravaganza by any means.
In fact 1t is healthy economy. For a
brush in which the bristles remain
limp from not being thoroughly dried
is valueless until the sbristles have

The Sentinel Butte Republican has this com
mcnt on The Lady From Montana:
In the Montana primaries last week Miss
jeanette Rankin, who has been representa-
tive in congress for the past two years but
who was candidate for United States sena-
tor at this election, showed under by
quite large majority. This was good news,
not only to a large number of her constituents
who supported her two years ago, but to large
numbers Of people all over the United States,
the reason for which is The lady from Mon
tana embraced the Nonpartisan league
dope in that state, and was hot footing
it over that state making speeches with A. c.
Towney. However, Miss Rankin received
practically the entire vote Of the Socialists in
tho city OF Butte, which the actual count
showed--this same lady who shed Crocodile
tears in congress when the proposition came
up to declare war on Germany, after that
country had murdered our citizens. In fact
the league candidates were beaten in prac.
ticaly all parts Of the state. which has al
ready sounded the death knen to Townley
and company in Montana-even Wibaux

indeed strange that North Dakota, (not Col
den Valley county, should follow after So
cialism and kindred things as she does
when other states repudiate them so strongly
1t has gotten to the point down east that when
they mention this country, they call it the
United States and North Dakota.

THE REAL TEST IS SERVICE.

The real test of the aerial mail service is
not one trip between Chicago and New
York.
1t is the service rendered day by day,
week by week, and month by month.
How many trips are missed2 What is the
cost2 What time is gained2
These are the questions that must be ans
wered before the service justifies itself, and
it was TO be expected that there would be
bitches and delays Of many kinds during
the first few months.
Therefore the report of the postoffice de-
partment on the Washington-New York
service for August is surprising. Here is
an excerpt from it:
Turing the month Of August the air mail
service between Washington, Philadelphia,
and New York was conducted without misc,
bitch, serious delay of any character
eThe operations for the month were per-
haps the most remarkable in the history of
aviation There were 81 flying days, of which
108 legs of the journey had to be performed,
and in that month there were but two forced
landings, one with a delay of seven minutes
and the other with delay Of less than ten
minutes. One forced landing was made with
In four miles of Belmont park at the end of a
Journey. It was caused by the break of a

the ground, and for the purpose Of picking up
the course, because the compass failed TO
work.
.aThe teaaI possible miles OF flight was
1851, Of which 1887 miles were completed.

THE Cavalier County Republican celebrat-

overlooked. Thirty-one years is a consider
able span Of time to keep on top of the heap
and we start in on year 81 with the largest
list or readers the paper has ever had
These days are strenuous for the newspa-
per men, for the government asks for about
half of the space free Of charge and we are
going to keep right on giving all that we pos
sibly can in spite of the fact that they now
demand a curtailment in the business by re-
ducing subscription lists Is per cent and limit
purchases of stock accordingly. To assist in
the urgent demand for help the shop is be-
ing run with just half of the force needed
and this condition hurts print shop just as
bad as farmer. We think the condition is
fully understood by all, and with the host of
loyal friends the paper has always had, we
feel like taking one more hitch in our belts

well that ends well and we are willing to go
the limit to help Uncle Sam through this war
and take chances on having time and oppor-

LIKE DEATH AND TAXES.

One more thing in life may be classed
with death and taxes, as one of the GER
tainties.
That is Registration day.
It is inevitable and unacceptable.
1t will be here on Thursday next-the
day after tomorrow.
IF you have passed your eighteenth birth
day and have not yet reached your forty
sixth, you must register for the draft, I'M
less you are already registered under the
old draft law.
Any man who tries to dodge it, or who
neglects it is poking his head inside a fed
eral prison.

The Williston Herald has this timely advice re
garding the hunting season:
The hunting season opens this year on
September 18th 1t is reported that the
chicken crop is fairly good and those who can
spare the time will be ready to enjoy the
sport on the first day Of the season. There
are not so many to go this year for the rea-
son that a good many are hunting bigger
game across the pond but if those at home
are not too hoggish perhaps the hunting will
be better when the boys return. The first
rate sport will not take more than his share
but the pity is that all men are not first rate
sports. Every man ought to see to it that
every other fellow keeps within the law and
does not bag more than he is entitled to. This
rule would not work any injustice to the real
sportsman and it would keep the other fell
low where he belongs"

The foregoing are some questions from
an examination paper in elementary civics,
issued under the authorization of the state
board Of education.
Now perhaps it will be seen why the Non
partisan league leaders are so keen about
defeating Miss Nelson. "Catch 'em when
they're young" is the policy in regard to
voters.
But overlooking for the moment the des-
picable attempt to carry politics right into
the school room, we would like to know
whether or not a child would ''pass' if he
answered "a. G. Townley" to the third and
fourth questions, and "The Nonpartisan
league" to the last one.

The whole affair went off
