How Do You
Select Your
Dentifrice?
You Can t Be Too Careful
In Seeking Efficiency
and Wholesomeness.

You've got to think of two things
not just one. but two-in decid-
ing what dentifrice you shall use
and shall let your children use-ef-
hciency and wholesomeness.
Efficiency to-day covers more
points of value than it used to. for
as the science of dentistry has ad-
Vanced it has shown reasons for
necessary increase in the number OF
things a dentifrice should do.
That a dentifrice will scrub the
teeth clean by mechanical action or
abrasion is far from being sufficient
to make it a good article. Ia must
have this quality and at the same
time not be so harsh in its action as
to injure the tooth surfaces.
For this reason we recommend
the exclusive use Of either SANlTOL
Tooth Powder or SANITOL Tooth
Paste. Their base is the highest
grade of chalk of sufficient density
to serve as an effective abradent but
not dense enough to injuTe the
enamel. There is no Pumice stone.
cutie fish bone OF gritty matter in
these preparations. Nor Is this all
that is necessary to a good denti-
frice.
Your dentifrice must have anti
septic properties - your dentifrice
must contain something that will
destroy germ life in the mouth and
by SO doing not only Tetsrd tooth
decay but also. for the general
health Of the user, keep the mouth
sweet and pure and clean.

East Lansdowne sends to the club a

very lovely message that made us
hope to have another like it very
soon.
Grace OberIe, Yewdell street, is all
excited about the pin money and so
is Anna Malamut, North 10th street,
and so is William Quinn, East Cedar

On the other hand these antisep-
tic properties must not be produced
by chemicals or drugs that will in
iure the teeth. gums. lining of the
mouth or stomach. The idea denti-
frice in this direction is SANlTOL
Tooth Powder or SANITOL Tooth
Paste-both of these preparations
are thoroughly antiseptic and harm
lessly so.
The next important point is that
the dentifrice should be one that
neutralizes acidity of the mouth.
An acid mouth not only encourages
serm life but it also increases tooth
decay. is bad for the gums and
enamel of the teeth and, because it
acidihes the saliva which plays an
important part in digestion. is bad
for stomach and digestion.
But - and ponder this well - an
acid mouth would be less harmful
than some of the chemicals and
drugs used in some dentifrices to
neutralize acidity. Especially be-
ware Of these dentifrices that CON
tain certain powerful chemicals and
drugs, if you value the biggest asset
you have-good health. They prob
ably do neutTalize acid mouth, but
II your constitution is not only vigor-
Gus but fortified so as to resist and
throw off poisons that are prone to

a bad effect on the stomach and
kidneys. As one cannot brush his
teeth without swallowing each time
some Of the saliva containing the
denafTlee, you can easily under
stand that the swallowing of a
powerful chemical or drug. even in
minute doses. every time you brush
your teeth. cannot help but disturb
the health Of the user. Why not
be absolutely safe. then. and use
SANIIOL Tooth Powder or SANI-
TOL Tooth Paste. both of which
perfectly neutralize mouth acidity

them he would drag his heavy body and
master one step nearer home. From his

With n last desperate effort he straddled
his fore legs but he could not brace him
self against the backward sag of dead

him and suddenly found himself standing

his forefeet outstretched, his head and
breast still held high, there was left only
a great spirit chained to fallen and
