Should have pretty teeth in them, but 1t is not
usual to see between rosy lips teeth discoored and
decaying through neglect. This disfguring defect
should be repaired without delay, by using fragrant
SOZODONT, which removes every particle of tar
tar from the teeth and renders them snowy white.
This admirable aid to beauty is perfectly harmless
and exhaes most delightful aroma, and is in
every respect preferable to the ordinary tooth
pastes and powders. Try it and see for yourself.

Democratic Doctors Disagree,

The Democratic newspapers of Maine are
holding an experience meeting with regard to
prohibition and the enforcement of the prohib-
tory laws. The nature of the discussion is in
Dictated by the articles on the first page of this
issue of the Journal under the caption of "The
Democratic Press on Prohibition" and the con-
troversy Is still going on with undilninished in
terest and energy. The Bangor Commercial
finding itself unable to do justice to the subject
In paragraph brought out a two column ed-
torial Saturday. The Portland Argus, Augusta
New Age, Arson Advocate and Lewiston Ga
zette maintain that it is the duty of Democrats,
as well as other citizens, to uphold the enforce
ment of the prohbitory law while the Bangor
Commercial and Prog. Age are alike opposed
to the law and its enforcement The Argus,
however, has gone further and testites as fol-
lows rs to the good results of prohibition:
Vigorous efforts to enforce the law against
the sale of intoxicating liquors have now been
going on less than a month and already the
number of arrests for drunkenness, as well as
for other crimes, has decreased 60 per cent as
shown in an article in another column. In sew
eral instances that have come under the per
sonal observation of our reporters, the families
VI pooT Ineu nave begun 10 1eel the effects OF
the closing of the rum shops by an increase in
home supplies, bought with the money that
was before spent for beer. Not day passes
without number of women calling at the city
marshaPs office to tell him how many more
comforts their husbands are supplying them
and their children since the beer shops were
closed with Dutch locks.
This testimony the Democratic opponents of
the Argus see fit to ignore. They want free
rum, regardless of consequences, and do not
hesitate to say so; AMI they are afraid the Ar
gus will so commit their party to temperance
doctrines as to cause the loss of many of its
voters. But the Argus, although it admits the
good results of prohibition and demands the en-
forcemrnt of the prohibitory laws while they
are on the statute book, is in favor of the repeal
of those laws, so that the zeal difference be-
tween the disputants is very slight, and they
all have the same end in view, viz. to secure
votes. Hence they blow hot or blow cold, as
they did during HE Greenback craze, and hope
by this means to enlist Neal Dow and the sa-
loon keepers under the same banner.

PROHIBITION IN PORTLAND.

The Portland Argus gives very cheerful re-
ports of the success in enforcing the prohibitory
laws In that city. One of the good effects of
the decrease Of intemperance is the increase
of republican voters. Nineteen twentieths of
all voters who join temperance societies or
churches soon find out that the only consistent
place for them to vote is with the republican
party. The fewer rum shops the less misery
and degradation and the more republican
voters.
