Eyes, I try something else now and then con'
fess,
Some powder, or tooth-wash or paste,
But sooner or later, give them all up,
And back to my first love haste.
For there's something so clearly, so fragEaEts

In the working of Sozodont sweet,
That never can like anything have tried
So well as that tooth-wash complete"
Thus spoke wise man from the depths Of his

His experience is matched far and wide,
For nothing can ever compare in the world
With sweet Sozodont, stable and tried.

Or It's red heart, warm and bleeding

While the roses fell to soften
Its delusive, mocking laughter;
For which silent intereeding,

Our telegraphic columns contain
information this morning that Lord
Wolseley has telegraphed TO the
War Office to stop forwarding rlops
to Egypt for the present. As 1t Is
late already for the Nile expedition

cannot be supposed that the Govern
ment is retreatlng after ordering the
expedition, it must be inferred that
