The only logical way to cure it
permanently is to get at the root of
the trouble itself, in this case the
root Of the diseased tooth.
Stomach trouble, eye, ear and nose
and throat diseases and even serious
disorders of the spine itself are now
known to be very often caused by
abscessed teeth.
What Are You to Do About 1t?
Clearly, you must have your teeth
looked after by an expert dentist.
You can't always tell whether or not
your teeth are diseased. They may
not give you any pain or discomfort
whatever Only the expert knowl-
edge of the skilled dentist can dis
cover the trouble.

Bennington, according to the returns
made TO Town Clerk E. A. Booth, had
the lowest death record in 1919 in the
past five years. The birth record
also equalled the highest figures in
the past half decade.
There were 143 deaths as against

deaths in 1917. in 1916 there we.e 1872

BOOM FOR HOOVER
GETS BIG IMPETUS
World Editorial Construed as Notice
Withdrawal an Wilson
stOrnan"

New York Jan. 22,-Tremendous
impetus was added to the movement
to make Herbert C. Hoover Presb
Dental candidate, which has been
started by his friends and admirers,
when the World announced yesterday
that it had decided to support him re-
gardless of politics.
BY many this one declaration on
the part CT the newspaper, which
from the beginning of President
Wilson's reign in the White House
had been his stanch friend and defen-
der, was taken as one of the most ini-
portant moves that has been made on
the po' itical chess board.
In spite of the fact that Mr.. H-over
has refused to acknowledge that he is
a candidate 1t is suspected that there
is well organized movement to se-
cure his nomination, which for the
most part is operating under cover at
the present time,
Republican politicians, generally
speaking, are net looking with favor
on Mr. Hoover as the candidate of
that party because of his support of
President wilson's plea for the cleo
ton of Democratic Congress year
age last fall
Democratic politicians, while look
ing somewhat askance at his pro-
posed candidacy, take the trouble to
say all sorts of nice things about him,
as they feel 1t may be necessary to
take him as candidate In order to
stand any sort Of chance to win in
November.
For some time a report has been in
circulation that Col Edward NJ
House. erstwhile confident of Presi
dent Wilson. had picked Mr.. Hoover
as the next man to occupy the White
House and was gettign ready to back
him. The story is that Col. House is
prepared to support Mr.. Hoover as an
isaapendent candidate if he does net
get regular nomination,
No confirmation could be obtained
CT this report from the friends of
Col. House yesterday Politicians
generally, however, were inclined to
believe that the World must have had
assurances. of some nature that Mr.
Hoover would consent to run for the
