''The Truth About Your Teeth"
''COme Clean"

Friday night, Sept. 9, following the
usual show, Come Clean the great
public health film on dental hygiene,
will be shown at the Rialto. This film
was prepared under the direction of the
Surgeon Generals Office, U. S. A., for
use in the army training camps during
the war. Some of the most eminent
physicians in America assisted in the
preparation of the film. 1t is being
shown in Edgerton through the coop
Grafton of the University Extension
Division.
The plot revolves around Tom Mer-
rill who wants to be soldier but who
is rejected on accosnt Of his teeth. An
army surgeon directs him to dentist.
After treatment he is accepted, much
to his joy. At camp his faithfulness in
brushing his teeth evokes the derision
of his fellows. In true red blooded
American fashion ne meets a dramatic
situation and the camp bully in way
that will prove highly interesting to
any audience.

The treaty of peace between our
government and the governments OF
Germany and Austria has been duly
signed. The common folks in the two
foreign countries, and also those of our
own nation, seem to be pleased with
the treaty. But again we have evil
dence that everybody cannot be pleas
ed. The old dynastic party in Germany
is bowling because the United States
exacted too strenuous terms of Ger
many, while the French are jumping
out of their boots denouncing the treaty
as not being exacting enough. Secre-
tary Hughes acted on the proposition
that America still has the right to
make her own treaties without consult
ing the other powers in the super gov
eminent, called the League of Nations.
When the senate reconvenes after the
present recess the treaty will be placed
before it for ratification.

EIGHT of Wisconsin's representatives
in Congress registered their vote against
the tax revision bill. Fifty republi-
cans joined the democrats in defeating
the measure on account of certain pro-
profteer clauses in it, though the bill
contained other provisions of most
excellent nature tending toward equal
ity in the tax burden. But the oppo-
nents to the law felt that the bill
showed too strong tendency to ease
the tax burden of the very wealthy as
compared with that of men of moder-
ate means, and that its passage would
have been an injustice to the country
as a whole. Wisconsin had the largest
number of representatives of any of
the states of the Northwest voting
against it.

The Bedouin of the North.

The Indian living entirely out Of
the forests liz the north country is an
incongruity, or at least seems odd and
incomplete, like a picture out of frame.
When we see him a Woodsman, ii is in
his very best pose. He els the wise
man of the Wilderness the Bedouin
of the green deserts. Palefaced
gentry up from the cities DO well to
avail themselves of his care and guild
ance, which is at all times faithful

Coal in Ancient Times.

Medieval writer's usually refer to
coal as "sea-coaP' (carbones mari
timi, or carbe de marD, in order to
distinguish it from charcoal Gear
bons). The name evidently arose
from the fact that it was brought to
some places by water. The name was.
however, used of coal which was cart
ed into Chester from Ewloe, and of
that found in the middle of Dxby-
shire. In the reign of Elizabeth coal
was measured by the barrel nine bar
rels to the ton.

"Son of a Gun"

The phrase, 'son of gum" is some
times explained as s'Son of the Wine
pot or Flagon." There is word
"goan" which is a dialectal variety
Of "gawn" gallon. Another view is
that the expression was originally APP
piled to boys born on board ship.
One admiral said that he had been
Graded under the breast of gun-car-
rage. 1t occurs in this sense in
Smyth's Sailors Word-Book" (1S67.
1t is usually used in a deprecatory
sense.

GaIIeon.

The galleon was originally war
ship of three or four gun-decks. The
name was subsequently applied to the
Spanish treasure-ships which brought
from the Spanish possessions in Mex
leo and South America gold and silver
and other wealth to Spain. They were
large, unwieldy vessels, and were
eagerly sought after as prizes during
the times of war on account OF the
immense wealth they contained.

As far as known, the first campaign
emblem was finger ring of copper.
1t was worn by the adherents of John
Quincy Adams in 1924, when he ran
for President, and was inscribed "John

Rescuine Poor Fish.

There is rescue work which has to do with
the carrying Of lovely damsels out of burning
buildings. There is rescue work which has
for its motive the saving OF life in foreign lands
There is rescue work Of other kinds. Include
among the latter the rescuing & fish.
What? You didn't know that fish had to be
rescued? Haven't you been reading the nice
booklets issued monthly by the bureau Of fish
cries? Well, then, listen to this :.

brought to close at all points during Novem-
Der owing to the freezing of pools and sloughs.
This fish rescue work is very important to

are SO shallow that, come winter, the poor hsh
are frozen solid. Before this time however,
the thoughtful bureau Of fisheries sends out
rescue parties. The rescuers gather up the fish
and haul them to deeper pools, rivers and lakes.
where the poor fish can wiggle about in even
the coolest weather. Next spring they restock
the pools and smaller streams are repopulated
BY fish emigrating from deeper waters.
Before drifting away from the subject 1t
might be mentioned that your Uncle Sam

No One Mourns.

Won Bethmann-H ollweg, former German i'm
perial chancellor, who wanted to stand trial
for the crimes charged to the kaiser, has had
his wish. He is dead. He it was who referred
to the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality Of
Belgium as "a scrap Of paper" and proclaimed
that the slaughter of the innocents of that little
country was justified by the necessities OF his
armies. more deserving fate would have
been for Won Bethmann- Hollweg to have lived
on for years with the cries Of the women and
children he sent to their doom ringing in his
ears. A man who might have passed on be-
loved and mourned by his people goes without

Now l am going with a young
man whom l love very dearly. We
have been keeping company for ten
months and every night he comes
to see me- He takes me anywhere
I want to go. He is very fond of
my little girl and she of him.
i He isn't making very much
money and mother and sister seem
! to think l ought not to go with him
so much or marry him. They want
me to marry some one with money.
We are engaged. II we marry l
intend to keep working for while
at least to help him get a start in
I life. Do you think l ought to give
him up and marry some one l don't
care for just because he has
money? l can do that. Not that
mother doesn't want me to be hap
py, but she hates to see me work.
Do you think a man loves q girl
| when he comes every night for ten
months? He is devoted to me. l
don't enjoy going out anywhere
without him. Kindly advise me.

because he has money. Neither
