act in the movies, he got sore at
everything in general, forgot to
drink a consoling cup of coffee and
then made an (censored by D. A.
R.) of himself before the public.
He wanted war. Nothing would do
but “Liberty or Death,” and plenty
of it. When the British ask him
what sort of death he prefered he
replied that in the role of a pa
triot he thought that extreme old
age would do as well as anything
else. He wanted to die but thought
it best to have a few score years
to prepare and not do it crudely.
Not that he was afraid or anything
like that but he was porely lately
and he had to help his wife gather
the crab-apple crop. Yes, it might
be well to wait awhile. Old Patrick
was one of these battling boys from
Boston, or was it Arkansas, that
liked nothing better than a fight
especially if they had a good safe
front seat. He was willing to hold
any ones coat as long as there was
“liberty,” but “liberty” in any case.
Just recall the orators of our own
time. Just listen to this guy. “As
a moral—religious teacher. I—con

edy for America—world—any man
to be elected to presidency—great
land—not in sympathy with 18th

worthy enforcement, such amd. Mak
es me larf. Yes, I’m in sympathy
with it too. Such a weak poor law
as we got on the booze question
needs sympathy. It makes me cry
almost to see the ossifers get the
dough when the poor bootleggers
ain’t got nothing but maybe a fif
ty-thousand income.
And this fellow, he isn’t against
anyone’s religious bend, but because
a candidate doesn’t believe in our
Dear Old Constitution that is trying
to save Our Great Citizenry from
the Gutter, from the vileness of
drink, that’s why he’s agin him. But
seriously, I’ve already applied for
the job of assistant bottle-boy to
the Pope when he moves into the
White House. That is of course—.

I hear that there is an order of

DIET VS. TOOTHBRUSH.
The dentrifice manufacturers took
over from the paint and varnish
people the slogan “Save the surface
and you save all,” and for a number
of years now they have been telling
the population that if the tooth-
bi'ush is wielded regularly, especial
ly with each firm’s particular prod
uct, the dentist can well-nigh be
relegated into the limbo of forgot
ten things.
Now conies Dr. William R. Davis,
director of the bureau of mouth
hygiene of the Michigan Depart
ment of Health, to tell the Ameri
can Child Health and American
Public Health Associations that tooth
problems could be wiped off the
map if another toothbrush were
never manufactured.
Folks who have been scrubbing
away regularly at the dental orna
ments for a lifetime will agree with
Dr. Davis that it is a fallacy to say
that a clean tooth never decays. To
make the saying true. Dr. Davis
declares, oral cleanliness would
have to correspond to that of a sur
gical operation, an individual impos
sibility. However, he is not urging
that the toothbrush be thrown away.
Such cleanliness as it produces is
useful. Only it is no guarantee
against decay.
Dr. Davis believes that early at
tention to small dental defects and
correct diet make up the antidote
for decay. Like the football coach,
he advises offense by way of de
fense.
The interesting part of his theory
is that it coincides with practical
clinical experience outside of Michi
gan, where especial attention to the
possible small defects in the perma
nent teeth on first appearance has
been found to form the foundation
for oral health in later life.
Of course as we grow older we
become increasingly aware of fail
ures in our physical equipment. But
a larger percentage of people are
brought into intimate view of tooth
decay than of the breakdown of
internal organism. Nature may
have intended teeth to wear out or
fall out ultimately, but this should
not be an early process. Anything
that keeps the teet intact longer is
