I. SAWTEUK, Bales Agent 4 , MONDAY EVENING, ' retar.v of the State Board of Educa-1 tion, was the toastmaster. He called on William S. Earnest, who paid a fitting tribute to the memory of Daniel S. Seitz, former city solicitor, and one i of the founders of the club. "Girard," i alias Herman L. Collins, of the Public Ledger, could not be present at the banquet by reason of the need of his presence in Philadelphia during the present national uncertainty. Telegrams of regret, carefully pre- , pared, were received at intervals from < the inner pocket of the club's secre tary, Mark T. Milnor, and included messages from Ihe Senior Senator of Pennsylvania, Thomas \V. Lawson, Robert C. Folwell, football coach of University of Pennsylvania, and others. Toastmaster in Genial Mood Dr. Becht introduced Prof. Corwin by relating an incident some years back when a certain football game be tween Lehigh and Lafayette was won through the aid of the referee, who happened to be "Bob" Corwin. To which Yale's old football captain of. j thousand vptes in the other party." * * * His industriousness makes him study every proposition laboriously; and his irony or "cynicism" or mental honesty makes him study it without any illusions, on its own individual merits; and so he arrives at an inde pendence which is absolutely incalcul able and unpredictable.—From William Hard's description of Augustus Pea hody Gardner, in Collier's Weekly for February :i. the eighties remarked that "he re membered the incident well, and that he had retired to the sidelines while tlio umpire and the police cleared the ' field." He told some interesting facts about j the methods employed at Yale for financing undergraduate athletics, and dwelt in particular upon the gradual j evolution of athletics to clean sport, for which he himself has always stood. Prof. Corwin declared that colleges exist to gH-e men ideals and stand- j ards and that it should be a means I and not an end for which young men ought to strive. Dr. Spaeth, a self-styled "hyphen ated college man" because of his con nections with the University of Penn sylvania and Princeton, likened him self to a man in a position of neutral- ! ity between Penn, his collegiate mother and Princeton, his academic wife: "when mother and wife begin to (ight," he said, "I find myself in an embarrassing position."

Dixon, State Commissioner , of Health, in a statement issued to day In which he warns against the practice of putrThg pins into the mouth. The commissioner's state- I inent is the result of careful observa tion of accident and disease histories. The commissioner says; "The pin is born with millions of brothers rn'l sisters, who leave home to travel all parts of the world. On their ,lourney they come in contact with us human begins and it might be interesting to take up what sometimes happens when they do so. "Suppose a pin found its way into the laundry of a shirt manufacturer. W c would be likely to heur of it first in the mouth of one of those folding the shirt and preparing it for shipment. This pin, as well as others, might per haps be making its first intimate ac quaintance with the germ that pro duces sore throat. The shirt gets to the customer who starts to make it ready for use. For the second time the poor pin finds the human mouth again, its abiding place. Possibly this time it gets into an ulcerated mouth, thence it gets into the pin cushion or some other receptacle. "The persons who handle these cannot recognize disease germs by the naked eye and therefore the pin with Its cargo of germs Is ready for a new service. This time, perhaps, by a dressmaker, if she has the bad habit already alluded to, she fills her mouth with these pins while she cuts with her patterns and fits various pieces to gether. This time, for variation, the pin may have found lodgment in a healthy mouth. Nevertheless it is not pleasant, when you know the pin's history thus far, to think of anyone making such use of them. "Many a mother'who uses pins in fastening a child's dress together does the same thing. By this time in the pin's life history it is quite well armed with spores of germs and really is accountable for much harm along its path of travel. And now as it is get ting old and about ready to close its life a little child may be stricken with tonsilitis or diphtheria or even scarlet fever, because some of these diseases are easily communicable from throats so recently affected by the disease that the danger is not recognized. The presence of the germs that have been referred to on the pin is a real danger, as the physician or laboratory worker knows he can plant these pins taken from everyday use and plant them in foodstuffs that will make theni grow and multiply In great numbers—colo nies can be seen by the naked eye and they can be injected into other living beings and produce disease. "The habit of putting pins into the mouth would not continue for a mo men if everyone knew this. "The moral of this little story is— never hold pins in the mouth, as they spread disease, even fatal disease."

AVOID TROUBLE BY HELPING TEETH Slate Health Commissioner Shows How People Can Save Themselves Worry Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Com missioner of Health says that peo ple can avoid trouble by looking after their teeth. There la nothing which people are so prone to neglect until it is too late, says the commissioner. The commissioner says: "The teeth are the first factor in the process of digestion. They repre sent the millstones that cut and grind the food. As they do so. alkaline secre tions are given out by glands in the mouth and n\ix with the food to make the first change it undergoes in the process of being absorbed by the sys tem. "Good teeth are essential to normal digestion. Teeth which are diseased or artificial teeth held in place by set tings which retain foodstuffs, arc in jurious to health because they provide places in which disease producing germs grow and multiply. "If you have diseased teeth or false teeth not easy to keep clean have them attended to. The germs they foster are producing poisonous substances that interfere with the normal func tions of vital organs, such as the heart and kidneys. "If you put your teeth in order, pro vided the organs have not become chronically affected by long subjection to improper conditions in the mouth, the discontinuance of the poisons will permit nature to reassert herself and the organs whose functions have been effected will resume their normal course in sustaining the scheme of life. "Care of the teeth should begin with the advent of the child's first ones. They should bo kept clean by means that will insure no wounding of the guns. They are usually destroyed by acid, therefore no mouth washes con taining acid should be used. Consult your dentist before using mouth washes or preparations in the form of powd ers, creams, etc. "If you are interested in your diges tion, you will avoid incongruous mix tures of foodstuffs made up solely to tickle the taste. Potato salad In the American style is a good example. The potato is composed chiefly of starch. That is digested in the second stom ach where the secretions are alkaline. Tf you soak the potato in vinegar you have something whose nature is strict ly opposite to the alkaline, which it fights. Therefore, you are materially delaying the digestive process. "Poor cooking often makes proper food either difficult or impossible to digest. The hard earned money of the household goes to the purchase of good food which is often ruined by the housewife ignorant in the art of cook ing. Good cooking is not a matter of whim or flattering the palate. It is an absolute essential to health. There fore the art should be taught in our public and parochial schools. "If you eat too fast when the body is overheated, heated or chilled, you will often suffer distressing indigestion. Kating in impure or stale air will in terfere with digestion. If you are com pelled to take a meal under such cir cumstances, the quantity of the food should bo reduced to a minimum. "Outside of some of these things which have been mentioned, all of which can be controlled to a greater or less extent, it will be found that cer tain food 3 do not in themselves agree with certain persons. If you are eat ing sensible food in a sensible manner and you find that some particular thing does not agreed with you, the only thing to do Is to cut it off your list." "UXCI.K JOE" VS. GARDNKII Mr. Cannon saw a wave of immi gration-restriction legislation coming. IHe therefore, as Speaker, put his , crown on his head and took his scep j ter in his hand and walked down to the edge of the beach and spoke to the wave, and it turned hack and i made off Into the open sea. Mr. Can | non. us Speaker, said that immigra tion-restriction legislation would not be, and it was not. Mr. Gardner was at once converted to a strong belief in a revision of the rules of the House, and became an insurgent. Mr. Can non noticed that Mr. Gardner had be come an insurgent. The next thing that Mr. Gardner noticed was that he had ceased to be a chairman of any committee. Mr. Gardner took a terri ble revenge. He accumulated whole arsenals of filing cabinet* and clipping books on immigration, extended his personal discernment of immigrants to include Croats, and became thts country's chief political manufacturer of the solid shots of fact and of ar gument by which the recent victories on behalf of immigration restriction have been won in the House of Rep resentaUvcs and in the Senate.—From Collier's Weekly for February.
