Fables On Health
KEEP MOUTH CLEAN.

Mr.. Man of Anytown had habit of
picking pencils up from his desk and
putting them in his mouth.
His children did it, too.
If. a pencil wasn't handy an eraser
sufficed as well, and if it wasn't an
eraser it was something else.
Such habits are bad. The prospects
of picking up dirt and germs are good.
Only food and drink, clean forks and
spoons and toothbrush should enter
ones mouth, if contagion is to be
guarded against.
Oral hygiene, or care of the mouth
and teeth, should be carefully watched.
First of all, the dentist should be
advised of teeth conditions, and a
careful cleaning at least twice a day
is something everyone should remem-
Der.
Chewing hard crusts and hard bread
is good exercise for the teeth and
gums and helps make them stronger.
Eating of calcium food, particularly
by children, also helps to build strong
teeth. Spinach, buttermilk, string
beans, asparagus and carrots are
among the calcium foods easily OBJ
tainable.

PUTTING IN FULL TIME.

We are not interested in whether Secretary
OF State Zimmerman belongs to the Ku Klux
Khan or not, but we have a mild interest in the
suggestion of the state civil service board that
it will investigate the wasting of the time that
the state pays its officials for in outside bust
ness. We concur fully in the idea that when
a man is employed to work for the state, that
the state buys his time, and that he is not ex-
pected to work as an organizer for the Kluxers,
Elks, Eagles, knights of Columbus or the Mas
ons.
To our thinking it doesn't matter which or
ganization he works for. He is supposed to be
working for the state and not for some one
else. The same measure should be applied to
the holders of political offices who go round
the state making political speeches. The man
who works in the shops of Kenosha does not
take time off to play politics or to advance fra
ternal organizations. If he does this work, his
clock fails to register that he is present and
accounted for when the pay roll is made up.
1t Wisconsin went into business methods and
had few time clocks in all Of the state Offices.

49, eu-Prince, Haiti. - Customs re-
ceipts Of Haiti for the first four
months of the new fiscal year were ST.
10000, the highest total for such a
period since the beginning of the
American occupation in 1915. The cor
responding period for the fiscal year
ended in September, 1928, reached the
total of $2,314,0O0.
1t is estimated that if the remaining
eight months Of the fiscal year hold up
to that period of last year, the total
customs receipts will amount to ST.,
$50 600 as compared to $6,313,79 for
the fiscal year of 1929. The moder-
ate increase Of five per cent, which APP
pears to be justified, would increase
the total to $6,500000.

REGRETS VICTORIAN GRACE.

Oxford, Eng. This university
town demands that undergraduates
shall walk and talk gracefully, as well
as wear graceful frocks. According
to writer in the undergraduate jour-
nal, the young people of the Victorian
era knew how to walk and how to
talk.
"Today we can do neither gracefully.
Oxford demands charm quite as much
as intellectual acrobatics. Frocks today
are for the most part too intellectual,
too Unitarian. They lack romance"
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1924-04-24

it is probable that a lot of the time the people
are now paying for would not be wasted.
A state official, be he governor or the last
man named on the staff of the conservation
commissioner is expected to give his time to
the state and not to some outside organization.
# there is not work enough to keep these tel
lows busy on the state job then the work
should be re-arranged SO that man could put
in full days work for full days pay.
Of course, this may be shatterlng historic
traditions which provided that man working
for the state was supposed to regard his job as
IA side issue to the advancement of the propa-
ganda Of some POLITICAL party or some fraternal
organization, but it would be mighty good
rule of business to adopt.
Let the state get what it pays for from all
Of its employees and if the Ku Klux Khan or
any other organization wants organizers let
them hire them and pay for them The state
has no vital interest in the development of any
of these organizations.

NARCOTICS

Americans are steadily becoming
more nervous and restless, comments
DR.. Oliver T. Osborne of Yale Uni
versity. "The enormous increase in
the use of tobacco shows the desire
for narcotics" Pandemic nervousness
he points out, is especially noticeable
in the last decade, and it got well un-
der way about 20 years ago.
1t is more than coincidence, that
nervousness began to become nation
al malady about the time the "effi-
cheney expert" arrived on the job.
Driven too fast, beyond endurance,
people naturally go to pieces.
The Drug Traffic is a result, not a
cause. It's the reaction from high
speed living and work.

HoweUer, Comma
Ru MAURICE HENLE

New OrK.-IC now appears IHaI Ine
ink on the Washington Armament
Agreement hardly had dried before E.
Phillips Oppenheim rushed off to
write "The Wrath to Come" little
Brown. The conference seems to have
given Mr.. Opppenheim a mental jolt
from which he did not recover until
355 pages of propaganda7soaked non
sense had flowed from a facile pen.
The book establishes Mr. Oppenheim
as notorious opportunist.
Oppenheim projects his mind well
into 1850 and talks of ''pack of ma
tions." This mysterious "pack of ma
tions" is established in 1880 and is
supposed to make wars among its
members impossible. Sounds suspi-
ciously like the League of Nations
The book tells, further, about the
Limitation of Armament Agreement
made in Washington in 1921, and
shows that while America has Ere
NAMED party to this" it has, not
Joined the pact.
Grant Slattery is an American Sc
cret Service man on the trail of a
plot "simmering between Germany
Russia and Japan" to join an ALI
ance against the United States. OF
course the plot is uncovered and no
war is in evidence within the 355
pages, but it is in sight. At the end
Germany, Japan and Russia declare
for peace, but Oppenheim leaves the
following words of Lord Yeovil, the
Britisher, in the mind of the reader
"And yet" Lord Yeovil sighed
there will always be wars"
One may be in entire sympathy
with Oppenheim's thought as he ex-
presses it in the book, namely, that
Americas and England's interests lie
in the same direction. But specifically
named countries are mentioned with
an amazing bluntness that will not
help toward a better international
feeling.
For while "The Wrath to Come" is
pure fiction and possibly should be
treated as such, still the utter frank
ness with which Oppenheim mentions
countries, together with those coun-
tries status in present word affairs
mikes the book little more than the
mouthpiece of an alarmist.
Mr.. Oppenheim may be as great a
prophet as he is a writer. Certainly
"The Great Impersonation" estab-
lished him as a writer of good detec-
tive tales. But in this latest book
he attempts to assume the role OF
statesman and spokesman for his
country-a job he should leave for
his fellowcitizen, Lloyd George.
One more objection. Grant Stat
terry is, to Oppenheim's mind, the type
of secret service man this country
employs. While we cannot explain in
detail, we may safely assure the
American people that Slattery is, not
the type of secret service man this
country employs. The writer has been
fortunate enough to know few Sc
cret service men and if there are any
Slatterys among them, they serve as
Office boys in the Department of just
ice.
