When A Womans Teeth
 Are Most in Danger

The quality of the saliva has much to do with the condition of the teeth. Before the baby comes, and immedi- ately thereafter, it undergoes a change, and often the mother finds herself with sensitive gums and loosening teeth
 This condition is temporary, and need not be mistaken for the onset of pyorrhea. Miss Della Speilman, a nurse at the State Hospital, New York, with years of experience advises the gentle use of the tocsA brush twice a day with preparation free from irri- tating drugs and gum massage by finger She recommends Albodon Den tai Cream knowing it is both effective and safe and fully meets all require ments of women and children.
 A tube holding S5 brushfuls can be bought for 25c at any drug store. Al bodon is calcium carbonate, saponihed and mixed with the well-known oils of cloves. cinnamon and eucalyptus. which authorities declare is best for women and children.

 IN AMERICAN LEGION

In a move to divorce The America n Legion in its youth from all partisan politics. the New York organization of The Legion has adopted resolutions which forbid any candidate for public office on any ticket from holding any office in the American Legion. The Resolution as adopted follow:
 Resolved. that pursuant to the re- peatedly announced policy of the Am erican Legion, the New York County orga nizatjon hereby goes on record as being unaiterably opposed to the hold ing of any office in the American Leg ion or membership in any of it's stand ing committees by any candidate for public office"
 Tn commen ting upon the purpose of these resolutions, George BrokaW Compton, Chairman of the New ork County organization said: Fear that the American Legion may develop inte a partisan political machine parsists in some quarters in spite of repeated denials by Legion workers. This re- solution of the New York County or ganization in my opinion is merely a forecast of what will be written into the national constitution of the Legion a it's first annual convention to be held in November at Minneapolis"
 Congressman Fiorelio H.
