Are Your Teeth Infected?

There is a widespread movement
all over the United States to educate
the public about the dangers OF inject
ed teeth, or Riggs Disease. The most
common symptoms are blush-red gums
that bleed easily. The disease attacks
the tooth roots and causes poisonous
puts to form. The pus gets into the
blood ard causes rheumatism, neural
gia. stomach disorders, heart and kid
ney troubles, ulcers, and many other
diseases. The doctors are advertising
everybody to have a good dentist ex-
anime their teeth, as it is said eighty
people out of every hundred have
Riggs Disease. 1t can be cured in its
early stages, and when well advanced
can often be controlled Progressive
dertists are waking up on the sltua-
ton. are are advertising their services
in the newspapers. When man is
able to do good work, whether dentis-
try CT anything else, he ought to let
the public know about it through ad-
yertising.

OKLAHOMA WOMAN WINS,
FIRST PRIZE IN "G00DI
CITIZENSHIP" CON TEST

In recent good citizenship con-
test on What the Woman Vote Has
Done for Our Town" conducted by
the Womans Home COMPANION, the
first prize was awarded to an Okla
homa woman, Marion Sherwood Lah-
man, Of Tulsa, who set forth in her
letter how the woman vote in her
city "overthrew the gang in power"
BY request The Ardmoreite herewith
publishes her prize winning article:
1.-THE first time Tulsa women exer-
cised their right to vote in a city
election they accomplished what was
held to be impossible-the overthrow
of the gang in power.
This is a city of eighty thousand,
very rich and new, whose men Of
ability and high character had been
so busy becoming millonaires that
they had no time for politics. Many
even forgot to vote. For this and
other reasons the control Of city gov
ernment had fallen into the hands
of the so-called 'Boot-legging Gang,
which ran the city wide-open. Dens
of evil flourished, and citizens suf-
fered from robberies, murders, and
every variety OF crime. Much COM
plant. but no redress!
Then came the city election, April
4th, 1920, and the woman voter.
Decent Democrats put up a reform
ticket, which was beaten in the pri-
maries. Republicans put up a clean
up''ticket, nominating men and wo-
men who signed sworn statements,
promising to enforce the laws that
would curb crime, and to wage war
on booze Republican and Demo-
cratic women rallied TO this ticket.
A woman campaign manager organized
the thirty precincts, with commit
tee woman IN each. They sought
| out workers, had poll books made,
and got out all new voters TO reg
lister. On election day q woman clerk.
counter or watcher was provided for
each precinct. Women who could
drive cars took their sister voters
to and from the polls. Another COM
mittee cared for babies while moth
ers went to vote. No detail was
overlooked, but no money was spent.
. The gang in power spent money
lavishly, had a strangle-hold on bal
lot boxes. election judges and politi'
cal machinery. They resorted tc
every known trick. from buying votes
to stuffing ballot boxes. but the
Cleanup" ticket was elected, and
both sides gave credit for the victory
to the women. Under the new regime
there is wonderful improvement. and
wa women are now preparing to
clean up the county courthouse,
where corruption still holds FORTH.
