The Votes For President

The publication of the votes for Presi-
dent. recently made, shows that the Re-
publicans made very good showing in
the South. Harding not only carried
Oklahoma and Tennessee by substantial
majorities, but with nearly rs 900 votes
in Alabama, nearly 10000 in Arkansas,
nearly 1000 in Florida, more than Al 900
in Georgia, very nearly half of the votes
of Kentucky, more than $500 in Louisi-
ana, more than two-ffths of the vote of
North Carolina, more than one-third of
the vote of Texas, and considerably more
than one third of the vote of Virginia, he
demonstrated that in all these states the
Republican party is henceforth a factor
seriously to be reckoned with. In only
South Carolina and Mississippi did its
vote remain SO small as to be practically
negligible.

'I'EETH'S BIZ; FOE
Pyorrhea Responsible for In
mense Amount of Sufferinu.
Infection of the Gums Which FIRE.
quentIy Is Not Suspected Until
Much Harm Has Been Done
How to Recognize 1t.

tSupplied by the United States Public
Health Service, Washington. D. c.
PyOrrhea is an infection of the gums
the edges of the gums that have been
injured and especially where there has
been an accumulation of tartar or
'lime-deposit. AS the infection pro-
crosses and destroys the membranes
that attach the root of the tooth to
the socket, a pocket is formed around
the root and the tooth becomes looS-
Cned. 1t is said that this disease is
responsible for far more loss of teeth
Nthan is decay.
But this is not the only evil. In
the pocket pus is continually being
formed and discharged into the mouth
and swallowed. Also, as the teeth
rise and fall in their diseased sockets
in ordinary chewing, bacteria are
forced into the circulation and may
be carried to distant parts. where they
work harm according to their nature,
selecting tissues for their operation
in which they can best thrive.
1t was formerly supposed that the
i'll effects from such conditions as
dental abscess and other pus foci were
wholly due to the toxins or poisonous
products thrown into the blooA-stream
by the bacteria at the focus. 1t is now
known, however, that the bacteria
migrate into outside tissues through
the blood and lymph-streams. In joint
affections they clog and obstruct the
small .bloOd-vessels, interfering with
the nutrition of the joint-tissues, caus-
ing deformity and enlargement as in
arthritis defOrmans, as well as in
acute Inflammation, such as rheumatic
fever. Indeed, this condition of sub
infection, or "focal infection" is COM
ing TO be recognized as far more
important cause of disease than the
time-honored administration a term
which has been greatly abused and
misused.

A Plainfield Poet

The name of Sylvia Hortense Bliss is
not to be found in Who's Who" nor
does the gossiRshoo remember her in any
| list of authors.
And yet there has drifted into The Book
man little volume, evidently printed at
! the authors own expense, entitled Quests
which fully justifes its subtitle, " Poems
in Prose-" In its rich poetic beauty, its
charm of expression and its perfect imag-
cry, it is like the Psalms and The Songs
of Solomon. Take, for instance, these
sentences of the foreword:
Il will disclose to those who have not
seen, the beauty of the world.
Il will not strive to enhance the beauty
by fine phrases, nor hide it under cover
ing of words.
" will stand aside that l may not be
in the way of tree and that my shadow
may not fall upon flower
I" I will be silent while the thrush sings
and the young leaves rustic in the wind.
/" will hide my little light that men
may not turn from the sunlight nor with
draw their gaze from the night sky,
will be as one who stands humbly
at tine portal to give entrance to those who
seek the beauty of the world.
open doors before you. You may
pass through or turn away, as you will.
There are doors that I will open that
will never close. You will see the open
doors and before you are aware you will
have passed through"

Wanted an Audience

During my vacation l started in a
canoe one afternoon on a four-mile
trip across the lake. There had been
hard storm the night before, and
the lake was quite rough. The wind
carried me out of my course, the canoe
dipped water with every roller, and
I was soaked and terrified. When
reached the opposite side I decided
that I would never go back until some
thing more substantial should come
along and pick me up.
An hour later one of the finest
speed boats on the lake locked at the
wharf. l boldly asked the pilot to
take me back to the hotel. On the
return trip ] entertained him with
gay line of chatter and as we came
near the hotel noticed that there
were very few guests out, and asked
him if he would mind going on a lit
tie further, coming back when there
was more of an audience to appreci-
ate my impressive home coming. When
| finally did get out of his boat l of
