The Presidents Condition.

The reports from the bedside OF
President Wilson are more cheerful
than a few days ago. although not
yet containing enough to warrant an
carly return of his health. Allow
ance may be made for some Of the
more sensational reports OF his con-
dition, yet no one can gainsay the
seriousness of his case, or fail to I'M
derstand that every bulletin SO far
issued by Admiral Grayson has car
ried a feeling of apprehension as to
the next.
That the President is a very sick
man cannot be denied. That it may
be weeks or months before he is able
to transact public business. cannot
but be seen. That the leaders in
Washington are preparing for any
eventuality is well known.
Mr.. Wilson is today the President
of every man, woman and child in
the great United States. As such he
has the sympathy and wishes for
speedy recovery Of every one OF
them and the good wishes for the
Chief Executive Of the nation. even
though he cannot see the written or
hear the spoken words, must be
realized and sensed by him In his
sick chamber in the White House.
The people. irrespective of all other
things. hope for the early restora-
ton to health OF the President Of the
United States.

Now that the a-mistice has been

Editorial Comment
A Nutmeg Fiume.
(Roston Herald)

Middletown, down in Connecticut.
had a municipal election the other
day. Hitherto Middletown has been
known mainly as the seat of several
public institutions of note and as a
substantial community OF sound New
England traditions. Henceforth 1t
cannot escape distinction as the town
that turned out treasurer who had
been in office thirty years and a
town clerk who had served twenty
five years for the reason that Italy
will not be satisfied in its national
aspirations unless it has Fiume.
That, among other things, is what
happened at the municipal election
in Middletown last week. For the
first time in many years the Repub-
licans swept the town. 1t was a
tidal wave victory and the explana-
ton is that the Italian vote. usually
overwhelmingly Democratic, swung
solidly to the Republican candidates
as an expression of resentment
against President Wilson's Fiume
policy. Truly. an interesting item
in the political news OF the day-and
suggestive one from whatever
angle viewed.
Remarkable and unprecedented
things are happening IN American
politics these days, and the list is
certain to grow much longer as our
participation in European politics
brings on it's bewildering complica-
tions. We do not have to go to the
lower Connecticut valley for ex-
amples. 1t is but little farther
geographically from Fiume to Mid
dletown than it is from Ireland to
assachusetts-and by no means 30
near politically.

Diseases that Come
From Neglected Teeth

Science knows now that diseased
teeth in grownups cause rheumatism,
heart trouble. Indigestion; in chill
dren. frequent colds, anemia, eye af-
fections. AS epidemics enter through
the mouth, such children are often
victims Of influenza and spinal men,
nights.
Mouth cleanliness is necessary for
everybody the year around. That
does not mean "pyorrhea cures" or
other mysterious articles. Pyorrhea
is unknown among the young and
children should not be allowed to
use any preparation claiming to cure
this disease.
Unlike these, Albodon Dental
Cream is simply calcium carbonate,
saponified and mixed with the WE'LL
known oils of cloves. cinnamon and
eucalyptus. which authorities like
Drs. Prinz and Long declare makes
an effective and safe composition for
women and children. 1t is Just as
good for you. and should be in your
home. A tube lasting five weeks can
be bought for 25c at any drug store.
