Faith in American Legion
Ranishes Fear

Franklin D'Olier, chosen as the first
national commander of the American
Legion. says in his first statement
that the Legion "has an enormous
amount of constructive work before il
in the coming year.; and its attitude
against the overt and covert menaces
to American social ideals is already
plain. The service it gave beyond the
sea to fight off the enemies of order
ana progress is needed at home by
those who, sailing abroad, would now
transplant to these shores their poll
cies and practices that get at naught
the accepted civilized procedure.
The Loyal Legion was founded here
III Philadelphia to keep faith with the
same ideals which the American Leg
ion under Philadelphia cherishes. The
old veterans and the new are of one
mind upon platform of devotion to
the unity and the indivisibility of the
Republic. You will not get soldier
of America (if he is worthy soldier)
to approve of the wild work of the
Reds in trying to beat down the de-
fenses round our homes, our places
and business and our very lives. The
country is not afraid of what the alien
seditionists can do Faith in the
American Legion, and in the Loyal
Legion, too, is part of the reason why
there is no fear.-Philadelphia Led

To Get Long Mileage
From Tires

Too often tire manufacturers are
blamed for faulty tires, when the fault
lies not with the manufacturer of the
tires but with the operator of the cal.
At all times keep sufficient pressure
in your tires, as underinhation means
the cutting of the life of your tires i'll
two.
Try to avoid sharp substances in the
road-a small sharp cornered stone
will often make a break in the fabric,
and a piece of glass will sometimes
cut a considerable cash. To avoid all
sharp substances, is, of course, i'm
possible. However, pains should be
taken to avoid as many as you can.
Always have cuts, bruises or bis
tiers vulcanized Immediately. What
today seems to be merely small cut
in tire soon develops into a blow
out or sand blister.

Political Parties Necessary
In a Democracy

ut is now a habit to euloglze
independence and non-partlsan-
ship. To belong to party is held
to be akin to vice. But seldom
is there a continuing institution or
practice not based on something
strong and sound. American citi-
zens have affiliated themselves
with one or the other of the two
leading political organizations.
For this reasons must exist. In
other countries a party represents
merely set of echoes of some
group of men. Here it is able to
give orders to President, a men,
Der of Congress to a remote sheriff
to cooperate in a common end. 1t
thus gathers to itself loyalty. 1t
gives opportunity for public opin-
ion to form and crystalize, provides
machinery by which the govern
,ment officer becomes a representa-
tive instead of an agent with plen-
airy power to do as seems good to
him. 1t thus tends to draw de-
mocracy out of the mists and make
it real and actual" - New York
Tribune.

Indians Were First Dentists

Why do the Americans have the
best teeth in the world? Why did the
dandified kaiser insist on an American
dentist? The Indians taught US.
DR.. Marshall H. Saville, of Column
bus University, digs into ruins dis
covers: Long before Columbus was
born, even fifteen hundred years ago,
the Aztecs had perfected dentistry to
an art. They filled cavities, made
crowns and bridge work. Aztec dudes
had conspicuous holes in their teech
filled with gold or turquoises-as per-
feet fitting job as you could get to-
day. They left records showing that
they even used coca, from which CO.
caine is extracted, as local anes-
fhetic.

SUPPOSED MAD DOG
NOT TO BE KILLED
FOR 10 DAYS
State Board of Health Fixes
Limit For Safety
Sake

Realizing the fact that in many
cases the owner of dog that bites a
human being kills the animal at once,
either at the request of the aggrieved
party or for fear that further dam
age may be inflicted, and thereby
makes impossible a definite determl-
nation of whether or not the animal
may have been able to transmit rab-
les the following resolution has been
adopted by the State Board of Health:
Resolved, That no dog that has bit
ten human being shall be killed by
the owner or by any other person un-
til at least 10 days after the person
was bitten unless the physical condi-
ton of the animal makes it plainly
apparent before that time that it is
suffering from rabies; and be it fur
Their
Resolved: That every person hav-
ing in his possession or having knowl-
edge of any animal affected with or
suspected of being affected with rab-
les shall notify the local board of
health at once in writing in sufficient
detail so that such animal may be To-
Gated.
The infection of rabies may be
transmitted by dog for several days
before the animal shows any symp-
toms of the disease. If the dog does
not develop rabies witntn ten days it
is safe to assume that there is no
danger of rabies from the bite, but if
the animal is killed at once the labora
tory examination may be negative and
there is then no definite way of de-
termining whether or not rabies may
have been transmitted. The only safe
procedure in such cases would be for
the patient to take the Pasteur treat
ment, whereas II the dog were kept
alive the expense and trouble of til
treatment would not be necessary il
the dog did not develop symptoms of
rabies within a few days. 1t should
be clearly understood that every dog
that is held under observation after
having bitten a person must be Sc
cusely fastened with chain so that
he cannot escape if he should go mad
and that a veterinarian should be
called Immediately as soon as any un-
usual symptoms develop.-Delaware

Thrift Kills Two Birds
With One Stone

The practice of thrift kills two birds
with one stone and gives the stone
back to the lucky man, woman or child
who invests in thrift stamps. 1t kills
one bird when it checks the extrava-
gance that is contributing to the pres
ent high cost of living. 1t kills the
second bird when it provides capital
for industrial enterprise in the United
States and for the reconstruction of
Europe. 1t gives the stone back to the
individual when it provides him with
insurance against the rainy day and
old age and when it gives him a good
reputation in his community and credit
at the banks.
Thrift was synonymous with pat
riotism in war, for it made possible
the Liberty Loans; and thrift is no
less synonymous with patriotism in
peace, for it will foster the simple viz
tues of home ownership, industry and
frugality that are the best protection
against bolshevism and industrial I'M

Danger of Trichinosis From
Partially-cooked Pork

At this season there is especial dan
ger of illness following the eating of
pork that is raw or only partially
cooked. Of course, most Americans
do not knowingly consume uncooked
pork, although it is eaten not infre-
quently either as raw ham or in sau-
sages that have been insufficiently
cooked. At hog-killing time particu
larly there are many homemade meat
products prepared on the farm, and
consequently special care should be
taken to make sure that pork, before
it is eaten, is sufficiently cooked
The disease known as trichinosis
which may result from eating raw or
imperfectly cooked pork, is caused by
microscopic worms known as trichina.
These parasites in years past have
been found to be present in one out Of
II hogs, and if the presence of dead
trichina and trichina-like bodies is in
cluded in the count, an average of one
ut of every 80 hogs has been found
Affected. Unlike many other infectious
diseases, the severity of the attack Of
tri"hinosis depends upon the number
of parasites swallowed. Large quaint
ties of slightly infected pork must be
eaten in order to produce bad effects;
ut. on the other hand, severe illness
may be caused by eating small
amounts of pork that is heavily in
fected.
