THOSE TEETH
Bv H. AddinptOn Bruce


Continually evidence accumulates to
the Importance of keeping the teeth in good
condition as a preventive of possibly serious
disease in other parts of the body And
more and more we hear of astonishing cures
wrought by the simple device of giving prop
er treatment to teeth that have been neg
lected.
Thus a Philadelphia dentist, DR.. A. w.
Strecker, has recently reported in Dental
Cosmos the case of middle-aged woman
who suffered so severely from rheumatism
that she could not walk unaided.
Her trouble had been of three years grad
Hal development. In that time all efforts to
arrest the Gripping process had been with
out result. The unfortunate woman seemed
doomed to life of invalidism.
Finally it was observed that her teeth
"'ere in bad shape. There was considerable

# a great deal Of pus
Extensive dental work was ordered. Soon
after it's completion a marked improvement
in regard to the rheumatism became evil
dent. Three months later the whilom Grip
pie could walk without the slightest aid, and
was clearly on the way to complete recov
cry.
In another case. also reported b DR..
Strecker a woman of f1fty-fve began to ex
perience sharp pains in her left eyeiid, and
noticed that it twitched curiously. fter
time this lid became para1yZed the pain in
creasing.
At first her trout was attributed to
nervous weakness as she had been under a
severe strain about financial matters But
treatment for the re-establishing of nerve
control had no beneficial effect on the pain
and paralysis.
Dental work happening to become neces-

teeth was in an uncommonly diseased state.
pus flowing freely from it. This tooth was
drawn and the surrounding tissue treated
Almost Immediately the eyelid ceased to
pain and the paralysis departed.
In still third case an entire side of
woman's face was paralyzed X-ray eXami
nation showed abscessed upper tooth.
Upon it's extraction the paralysis gradually
cleared away.
Of course, dental decay is by no means
the only cause of rheumatism, facial Daraly-
sis, chronic indigestion, and other ailments
franro~tlv traceable to diseased teeth. 1t
would be foolish to expect to work uDfailins
cures in such maladies by radical dental
work.
But the point is that whenever they
ere present the teeth Justly come under sus-
N:nion and should be carefully examined
nth the aid Of the x-ray.
And, of obviously equal Importance, the
1"oved relationship between these diseases
and decayed and abscessed teeth should
serve to reimpress on all the great desirable
ity Of systematic care Of the teeth.
AS some one has we'll said, GA clean tooth
surface never decays" Daily cleaning OF
the teeth and periodical visits to the dem
fist should, for healths sake, be the uni-
vsrsal rule

Il National BUDGET.

1t is doubtful that public opinion is
prepared for SO ambitious change i'll the
Governments fiscal methods as that pro-
posed in Professor w. F. Willoughby's
plan. This, as summarized by the New
York Evening Post, calls for three far
reaching steps: 1.-The grant to the Presi-
dent Of the power to formulate each budget;
the creation of an office to assist him in
doing so, and in directing all administra-
tive activities; and the substitution Of a
single budget committee in the House for
the. present tangle Of committees which
consider appropriations, with coordination
Of House and Senate budget procedure"
If less extensive and as some would
say, less extreme plan is wished, useful
suggestions can be found in the several
recommendations made on this matter in
recent seasons by the Treasury Department
and the President. No national Admins
tration ever had keener occasion than has
Mr.. Wilson's to urge the adoption of some
sort of budget system, and none ever urged
it more cogently. It is not to be wondered,
however, that in the press of crucial war
questions this homely need failed to rivet
the attention of Congress.
But now that the fight is won and the
bills are to be paid, it is more chan ever
important that watchfulness and foresight
be brought to bear upon expenditures.
Significant of the countrys maturing
thought ON the subject is the earnestness
with which business conventions, almost
without exception, indorse the budget idea.
The United States Chamber of Commerce,
for instance, now urges a budget system
accompanied by central Government
agency which should be permanent and
properly equipped for proposing standard
ization, simpli1cation and increased effcien-
cy in Government Offices" Out of all the
discussion some measure of reform, it is
to be hoped, will be enacted, some plan
that will make for efficiency without doing
violence to the spirit of American nstitu-
tions.

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY

She lies upon a gilded couch,
Her round, white arms beneath her head,
And shadowy slaves about her crouch
Mute and immoble the dead.
Soft azure silks her limbs enfold,
And shimmering gauzes fine as mist.
And milky wells with broidery scrolled
Veil her thick tresses' heavy twist.
Some glittering dream the dav beguies.
Some sweet thought through the dreaming
slips,
For Joy too delicate for smiles
Haunts the curved flower Of her lips;
And shrived she seems from stress and dole,
AS one who sees in magic trance
Through the dark forests of the soul
The silver-footed fairies dance.
No voice may break the calm profound
Nor echo pierce to where she lies
TO stir the vision that has bound
The languid glimmer of her eyes:
N"-hing, till Eventide shall press
Those lips and break the tranced swoon
TT hc160 i, thrall this fair princess
The golden srn1me~ afternoon.

Georgia as a Sugar State.

The fact that the only sugar refinery be-
tween Philadelphia and New Orleans is at
Savannah, holds profitable hint for alert
owners of Georgia farm lands. The worlds
supply of sugar has decreased considerably
in recent years, whilst the demand has
mounted. In other country is the per
canita consumption of sugar so large as in
the United States and the trend here is
steadily upward, With enough refneries,
then, all the raw sugar which this region
should produce would find an eager market
The Savannah plant, it appears, is now fed
mostly from Cuba But why not from Geor-
ga? The Augusta Chronicle interestingly
observes of it's own territory: F'There is a
small quantity of sugarcane produced in this
section to make syrup supply for the farm
ers who raise it and to give them small
surplus to SELL This cane will make just as
good sugar-or perhaps little better-than
the Savannah refinery brings from Cuba"
The fact is, there are few regions, if any,
whose natural resources for the development
of a great suqar-producing industry surpass
those of Georgia.

The most remarkable changes we ever
made said manager OF the hotel, were
the day of the Palestine Commandery ball.
The ball ended at a. III. A delegation Of
Ohio corn-priZe boys and girls came i'll at
1870 and were having breakfast in the ball
room at eight. Then there was Il concert in
the same room at one, and dinner that
evening followed by a dance. All this in
vOved putting in and taking out tables and
chairs, changing decorations and cleaning
up
This same house has the most expensive
suite in New York hotel. Rooms of this
suite can be engaged separately, but when
rented as a whole the ten room state apart
ment" costs 1925 day, or nearly $4,000
month This apartment can be shut OH from
the rest of the hotel, as it has it's own marble
staircase to the first floor, and it's own gllded
elevator. The entire suite is not often IN de-
mand except by some diplomatic mission or
transient million Tire. 1t is matter of ho-
tel history that the Japanese mission occu-
pied this suite at the close of the Russo
Japanese war.
This establishment, which is one of the
oldest of the really big hotels, is famous for
it's atmospheric. Everything about it is
rich in tradition, and not the least OF its
storied possessions is it's banquet manager,
who is known all over the United States
When the hotel opened, some twenty-five
years ago, he entered it's service as bus
boy to carry dishes out of the dining room
From that rank he has risen to be manager
of important dinners at a salary of $4,000
a year. He has his farm on the banks OF
the Hudson, and motors into New York ev-
cry day. He is probably the worlds great
est authority on public eating.
This man, who has worked his way to the
top of his business, is of Swiss nationality.
The great majority Of hotel and cafe waters
are foreign, largely because the American
boy will not enter service a waiter even
though he may earn more than in a factory
or business office.
The proportion of foreigners is not so
great among the women employees. What
happens to girls who run away to seek their
fortunes can be told in part by the servant
girls of any hotel Often the girl who runs
away has too little business experience to
do Office work. is not pretty enough for the
stage, and is afraid of losing caste if she
tries domestic service. The way out for her
is hotel service, so that a surprising per-
centage of hotel chambermaids are advent
urous young women from the country.
Few people realize that the number of a
hotels employees is usually greater than the
number of it's guests. hotel that accom-
modates two thousand guests will have at
least two thousand persons on it's staff. for
whom it must provide a special dining room,
kitchen, and cooks, some bedrooms for en-
ployes who sleep the hotel, and rest rooms
and hospital equipment here are several
hundred thousand hotel empl yes in New
York-enough to populate a fair-sized city

N-E OF the outlooming and peculiarly
significant facts OF the Allied
~ ference in France is that at no stage
o. the proceedings has America asked for
one cent OF indemnity or for one foot of ter
ritory in return for the treasure she has
spent and the lives she has giveL for the
winning of the war Her co-belligerents
have stipulated, altogether proper,
that they shall receive certain material rep
arations. France must have Alsace-Lor-
raine and measure of control over the Saar
Valley; Belgium must have restoration and
requital for the OutrageS she suffered. Italy
must have the Trentino, the Istrian peinsu-
la and other important concessions on the
eastern Adriatic, - not Fiume itself. Great
Britain has sought no territorial gains, but
she will have, together with France, the in
ternational charga of the German colonial
territories, and she will receive, or certainly
should receive indemnity as nearly adequate
as the German treasury can pay. But Amer
lea can say today as earnestly as President
Wilson said that epOchal night of April 2,
1917: I'VE desire no conquest, no domin-
ion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves,
no material compensation for the sacrifices
we shall freely make. We are but one of
the champions of the rights of mankind We
shall be satisfied Wien those rights have been
made secure as the faith and freedom of ma
lions can make them"
This high pledge, so unswervingly full
filed in the face of many a cynical smile
and sneer is something of which America
can be worthily proud and from which in
times to come she will profit more truly
than if Kingdoms and empires had been her
victors reward Let it not be imagined, how
ever, that we entered the war with no pur-
pose to get anything at all in return for the
sacrifices we should make, or that we shall
leave the peace conference empty-handed and
content. Though we ask no foot of territory
and not one cent of indemnity, save repara-
ton to those Americans whose ships or kin
dred were victims of German piracy, we do
az and doubtless shall receive one ilcaIcu-
lably important thing. That is the estab-
lishment of a League of Nations through
which the worlds moral forces can be or
ganized and made powerfully effectual for
preventing the recurrence OF such another
struggle as that from which civilization now
staggers with MANNED and bleeding steps
This is American statesmanship'c distinctive
contribution and determined claim in the
settlement of the World War. And is it not
significant that III the very forefront of
the peace terms stands the provision for a
League of Nations? That is indeed the trea-
tvs heart on which the meaning and force
of other provisions depend.

THE CURE OF BOLSHEVISM
BY Dr.. Frank Crane

by LII. FRANK OfdIc
Bolshevism is the egg of hunger and
ignorance.
The only way to stop eggs is to kill the
hen that lays them.
Bolshevism is rampant in Russia, is muir
dering, destroying and shrieking there, be-
cause the people are hungry and ignorant,
Their ignorance may not be book ignor-
ance; it is worse; it is ignorance of the art Of
self-government.
The only way people learn to govern them
selves is by governing themselves.
Centuries of autocracy never taught Rus
STA that 1t left her in pitiable ignorance of
this great art.
Now she is learning. And in the only way
she can learn-by doing it, The doing of it
may be bad horrible, and destructive, but
better this chaos than the deceptive Orderll-
ness of czarism and kaiserism.
The French revolution at it's worst was
better for France than the splendor of the
reign of Louis XIV at it's best; for it con-
tanned the seed of self-government.
Those are right who insist that, bad as the
plight of Russia nay be, her people should
be left to work out their own salvation.
If we want to avoid Bolshevism in the
United States we must stick to the principle
that the only cure for the ills of Democracy
is more Democracy
We must trust the people, We cannot

SO is to invite revolution.
All talk of harsh measures, Imprisonment,
executions and the like, betray an ignorance
of history Such plans have never succeeded.
We must strike at the root, at the causes
that make Bolshevism.
We must obviate hunger by encouraging
business, by giving capital security, by keep
ing up the wages of labor, by restricting i'm
migration intelligently. Prosperous workers,
getting good wages and saving money Will
never become Bolshevists.
We must obviate ignorance by an imme-
diate and enormous increase OF efficiency IN
our public schools. It is essential to the
very life of a Democracy that every child re-
ceive training. Thousands of children IN this
country are not i'll school; they are idle, or
working for living,
To say we cannot afford more schools is
lie. We cannot afford not to put every child
in school and keep him there
eve must educate said ar American
statesman, eve m Ist educate, or we snail
perish by cur own prosperity.
Who is to blame that so many young folks
logic of the troub1e-makers, and can see no
difference between the Boston tea-rarty and
a Bolshevist massacre?
Are the schools we now have drooling
along with antique book-Iearnins and giving
no thought to training chi dren in the prln-
ciples of self-government?
Bolshevism, which is but another name for
mob madness induced by hunger and ignor-
ance, is truly combated only by spreading
intelligence, by educating the children, by
establishing justc., by cemoving unearned
privilege, and by promoting sound business
which brings prosperity.
