Merely Matter of Politics


The Poincare governments posi-
ton in England and America has
not been strengthened by the exist
ence of a widely expressed suspicion
in both countries that the Ruhr ex-
pedition was dictated by nothing but
a hope OF gaining political advan-
tage at home through what IL
thought would be a popular move.
Naturally it's the consensus OF
opinion that the worlds peace never
should have been endangered for
any such reason.
Nevertheless it's felt that the gov

Pepsodent also multiplies the
alkalinity of the saliva, to neutral
ize mouth acids as they form. 1t
multiplies the starch digestant in
the saliva, to digest starch deposits
which may otherwise ferment and
form acids.
Thus it gives manifold power TO
these natural agents which night
and day fight aeids-the cause OF
tooth decay.

Film holds food substance which
ferments and forms acids. It holds
the acids in contact with the teeth
TO cause decay. Germs breed by
millions in it. They. with tartar,
are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
That's how tooth troubles come.

Believe NC.Yet
Time To Change the
Policy of Statc-Aid

4 resolution will be offered shortly
to the Leg; Slature providing for sub
hitting to the voters of the State a
question as to whether or not the
State viii continue to appropriate
money for private institutions. This
was the assertion Tuesday at the
action is that the Legislature is en-
titled to he advised by the people
as to what they think about this
change.
1t is the belief Of the Legislative
leaders that despite the Recommend
alton of the Budget Committee that
nc appropria tons be made by the
Legislature Of 1923 to private insti-
tutions. the usual aid though perhaps
in reduced amounts. will be extend ed
to all the hospitals and charitable in
situations.
This is not to be taken as indicat-
ing the legislature does not approve
of the recommendation, but it does
mean that the law makers do not
think the time is propitious to make
so radical j change in the States
policy.
ut is right that these institutions
shall be supported, by the commun-
tiles in which they are located" said
Il prominent member of the legisla-
ture, but we can't cut them off this
year. Tho people have got to come
to understand the reasons for such
course before we can take such d
position"

Boxing Association
Refuses Intervene.
Willard-Dempsey Fight

New York. Jan. 16.-Tentative en-
dorsement of a national boxing regis
tration bureau, refusal to intervene in

were outstanding developments today
at the closing session of the two-day
convention Of the National Boxing AS
ISOLATION.
The question of intervening to pre-
vent the proposed return heavyweight
championship bout between Jack
Dempsey and Jess Willard again came
up. this time on the floor of the con-
vention. The association decided the
matter was outside its jurisdiction and
that any judgment of the merits of the
contest rested with individual state
boxing authorities. This view was
voiced yesterday by Walter II. Lis-
niger of Milwaukee, president of the
association, when it was proposed that
the n. Is. A. oppose the bout on the
ground that Willard was not tit OPP
ponent for Dempsey.

ship encounter. which Promoter Tex
Richard proposes to hold at Boylc's

sus of opinion that Willard should first
