GOODBYE, FREE SEEDS!
Congressman Bid Farewell to Time -Honored
"Perquisite" While They Trim $4,000
s.. Off Their Income

en- from one of the appropriation
bills.
The other perquisite is one that hits
basket.
The annual custom has been to vote
each member of the house $4,000 q
year in addition to his $500 salary
for clerk hire. 1t was up to the con
gressmcn whether they preferred tC
spend the money for clerks or fol
buying new tires for their automo
biles or papering the house back
home. =
If a congressman felt that his need
for a clerk was not very prassing, he
could let his wife or his daughter dc
the clerical work >of his office, and
pocket the $4,000. 1t is not on record
that any member who didn't need the
$4,000 ever returned It to the treas
.ury. .ttSs l2,s;L f...,.5 tzT.E =. o.
Now it's all diffcrent-and the
house itself has gone and spoiled II
all TN voted recently to increase
each members allowance for clerk
hire from $4,000 to $3,20O-BUT-
1t is Provided, that no part there
of shall be paid to any member '"t*'
The provision was made as an
amendment to the legislative, execu
tive and judicial appropriation bill
which is now before the senate. 1t
wasn't any easy matter to get the
house to pass the amendment either
for the vote was $50 to 146, with
seven members answering present

some debate which wos noticeable for
the ,delicacy with which the members
touched on the subject. = : w ,..1
!. 1t isn't likely that the senate will
strike out the amendments as LONG
as the lower house has voted to cut
off one of it's fattest perquisites.
But cheer up, cangressmen; you
still have free mileage and the frank
ing privilege left! Maybe they'll pa

RETURNING ALIENS
SHOULD BUY W. S. S.
Their Savings Invested With
Uncle Sam Are Safe and
Show a Sure Profit.

Since the signing Of the armistice
It is estimated that 100000 allen
residents Of the United States have
gone back to Europe. These emil
grants included Italians, Greeks, Jugo-
Slays, Syrians, Croatians, Servians,
Kurds and Rumanians. Investigation
showed that many Of the men Of these
latter races had saved as much as
$1,000 which they took with them in
money.
That fact Is a wonderful proof of
the opportunities afforded to immi-
grants by this nation, but it is also
proof that the aliens who returned to
Europe had failed to seize one Of the
most important of these opportunities.
Had they invested that money in Unit
ed States government securities. such
as War Savings Stamps and Treas
ury Saving Certificates. their savings
need not have been idle a moment.
Throughout their journeys, during the |
time necessary for them to relocate
themselves, they would have been
protected from robbery and loss and
assured of a profit.
Further, they would have been re-
moved from temptation to risk their
saving in schemes devised solely TO
rob them. The ease with which some
OF the foreign born residents may be
parted from their hard-earned money
IS exempliiied by the experience of

TEETH AND TUBERCULOSIS

One death in every seven is from
tuberculosis.
Each year the world yields uu
l,O95,O00-each day 10000 its peo-
pie as a sacrifice to the white plague.
In spite Of the great havoc which tu-
berculosis has wrought in this coun-
try and Notwithstanding the great in
roads it is making upon humanity at
the present time, it is but a visible
declaration of neglected and wasted
opportunities.
1t is but one of the fearful results
OF neglected oral conditions-the ne
elected human mouth, the mouth
wherein grow and develop those or
ganisms which produce most infect
ious diseases. The mouth is the most
extensive breeding place for all path
illogical disease producing) micro
organisms in the human system. A
large percentage of tubercular infee-
tion takes place through diseased or
Ill kept mouths. What is true of tu-
berculosis is also true of all other con-
tagious and infectious diseases.
The dental treatment for all sys- /
temic diseases should be standardized |
all dead teeth should be extracted;
all crowns and unsanitary bridgework
should be removed. Pyorrheat should
be treated and cured or the teeth ex-
racted. This should be followed nv
