All the wealth of all the rich in all the world could

simple reason First because all this wealth is now

Teething is a perfectly normal,

if the teeth and the gums are left
strictly and scrupulously alone, the
much-dreaded erupting will take
place as painlessly and as unnoticed
as mushroom in a meadow. at

The teeth are capable OF starting
almost anything. Just at present
they are one Of the most popular
scape-goats in the body. Half the
plaques that flesh is heir TO, rheum-
atism, anemia, endocarditis, govt.
neurities, all begin with Teeth.
There is much truth in these &C
cusations The little pockets Of
pus, called Assesses, which form
around the roots of our teeth are
perfect robbers caves OF hostile
bugs. mostly of the fierce Streptococ-
Gus breed, which find shelter here
until they can gather strength
enough TO attack the hand that
feeds them, sometimes as pneu-
monia, sometimes as an appended
It's. sometimes as Inflammation OF
the heart valves So that the ivory
keepers of the gate play almost as
important a part in disease as they
do in health
Nor is this watchful and suspicious
attitude toward our teeth mere
modern fad, a thing Of yesterday.
The legendary lore Of the nursery
is full of woeful stories of the suf-
fering and injury inflicted by the
teeth when they are cutting" their
way up through the little pink gums
Of babies and young children. To
hear wise women and sage old
neighborhood nurses talk, one would
think these innocent little ivory pegs
were a feet of German submarines

the atrocities Of which they are ca

even death are freely attributed to

 , T have no thought of suggesting that any political party is paramount in matters of patriotism. l feel too deeply the sacrifices which have been made in this war by all our citizens irrespective of party affiliations. to harbor such an idea. l mean only that the difficulties and delicacies of our present task are of a sort that makes it imperatively necessary that the nation should give it's undivided support to the government under a unified leadership and that a republi- can congress would divide the leader ship.
 The leaders of the minority in the present congress have unquestionably been prO-war but they have been anti administration. At almost every turn since we entered the war they have sought to take the choice of policy and the conduct of the war out of my hands and put it under the control of instrumentalities of their own choosing.
 This is no time either for divided counsel or for divided leadership. Unity of command is as necessary now in civil action as it is upon the field of battle. If the control of the house and the senate should be taken away from the party now in power an opposing majority could assume con trol of legislation and oblige all ac- tion to be taken amidst contest and obstruction

The Republican Statement

The statement issued by republican leaders in congress follows:
 Some time ago the president said politics is adjourned Now. in the closing days of the campaign-delayed by the united efforts of all parties for the Liberty loan-now, when all public meetings have been given up owing to the influenza epidemic. the president sends out a direct party ap- peal calling upon his countryEen to vote for democrats because they are democrats without any reference to whether such democrats have been or are in favor of war measures and have a war record which deserves support.
 The voters of Michigan, to take a single example, are called upon to sup port Mir Henry Ford-notorious for his advocacy Of peace at any price; for his contemptuous allusions to the flag. for the exemption of his son from military service-on the sole ground that he will blindly support the presi- dent. The president is quite ready to admit that republicans are loyal enough to fight and die, as they are doing by the thousands; loyal enough to take up great loans and pay enorm- ous taxes; loyal enough to furnish i'm portant men at no salary on some of the great war boards in Washington. But they are not loyal enough in the presidents opinion, to be trusted with any share in the government of the country or legislation for it.
 If the republican party controls the house we can point out some of the things they will do. They will re- place Mir. Dent, of Alabama, at the head of military affairs committee with MT. Julius Kahn to whom the administration was obliged to turn for assistance to take charge of and car " the first draft bill against MT. Dents opposition. They put a repub- lican at the head of the ways and means committee, as leader of the house. instead of Mir. Kitchin of North Carolina, who voted against the war. They will give the country a speaker who did not oppose and would never oppose a draft bill and would never say, as Speaker Clark did, that there is precious little difference between a conscript and a convict
