REAL ADVENTURES

How'd you like to be Stanley Carlson, who's rugged him
self ont as human porcupine to slay wolves IN Canada Tor
government bounties? He has a cowhide suit covered with
sharp spikes, wire mask and spiked gloves. He invites wolves
to attack him while he swings his ak. 1t looks safe enough,
from a distance, and alluring. But most OF us wouldn t trade
the monotonous jobs we so often grumble at.
More attractive is the new job of Allan j. Gerbault, ocean
adventurer. You'll recall he navigated a 3O-foot sallboat
across the Atlantic in 143 days. He'll spend the next two
years sailing his boat alone in the Pacific where he expects to
visit every French island. However, any one who has ever
seen a real storm at sea will say: "In stick to my dull routine
and not change places with Allan"
Most of us are forever yearning for adventures. What we.
want are the glory and thrills, not the cold and material side.
Adventures involve hardships. which are a cheap sight bet
ter to read about than to experience.
It looks fine, for instance, the idea of casting civilization
aside and starting north ON an exploring trip. The dazzle Of
sunlight on polar ice would soon send the average person
scurrying home. If that failed, the bitter weather and scant
rations of rough food would quickly give the average man
his fill Of adventure"
People don't really want to experience adventures. They
Just imagine they do. Cunning fiction writers know this, so
they soft-pedal the disagreeable side. For instance, it's fine
to read about the ghosty faroff midnight tom-tom in the
Jungle. The picture is spoiled if the writer tells about the
adventures being devoured by mosquitoes.
Even the adventurer has to pay in full for his joys and
thrills. That's natural law and he can't escape it.

Health Talks
Disease from Teeth ana Tonsils

Disease from Teeth and Tonsils
How often a patient will go to a
physician to tell of some disease of
the gall bladder, kidneys, appendix
or ulcer of the stomach. He will
say he had suffered more or less
with one or more of these diseases
ever since he had the influenza.
Many have had just this expert
ence and the answer is often-pus
infection of various organs through
the blood stream, or poison from
infection at the roots or in nerve
canals Of the teeth, and also from
infected tonsils. The entrance of the
germ from either of these sources
came just at the time when the pro-
tecting wall gave way. The "hu''
overcame the patients so-called
strong resistance. Everything acting
In a protecting way was removed or
broken down.
That is why you hear it so often
said that one does not fully recover
from the FLU" Too often it is due
to the recurrence Of some old
trouble located at the root of a
tooth, which has never troubled be-
fore.
Many physicians believe the tom
sils have been placed in the throat
for a definite purpose. That purpose
is to take up, absorb and destroy
the almost countless number OF
mouth germs, as well as the result
of septic conditions of the mouth
as a result of bad teeth.
The mouth fairly swarms with
bacteria of all kinds. The tonsils,
in their earnest endeavor to per-
form their proper function of alb
sorbihg and destroying bacteria,
become overloaded and diseased.
Your teeth and tonsils are vital
points for attacks of pus and
germs. Don't waste any time in
wondering IL something is wrong,
Be sure of your rea condition by q
Thorough X-ray examination.

Another FARMING.

The death of thirteen insane patients in the Illinois state hos
pital when one of the buildings burned is another warning for New
Jersey in the matter of proper care for the states wards. All the
states institutions are overcrowded and many who ought to be
admitted are barred for lack Of room. The congestion is so great
that not only is there grave danger in case of fire, but I'll S actually
indecent.
These patients have no expensive lobby to plead their cause.
In the great competition for appropriations at the state house
when the legislature is in session the party that pleads the hardest
often wins. The insane and the feeble minded are forgotten in the
shuttle. But conditions grow worse each year. If New Jersey is
to be spared some frightful calamity in one or more of these institu-
tions steps should be taken to remedy the existing conditions. A
short time ago the warning came from Wards Island, New York.
Now it is from Chicago. 1t is about time New Jersey took heed.

Ford SUPPORTS Coolidge.

The possibility of a third party candidate for President was
definitely dspeIed by Henry Ford's pledge to support the nomina-

the fondest dreams of the Ford For-President Clubs and the in

could have formed a formidable third party and his "desertion"
