A Simple Experiment
Everyone Should Try

Put brushful of any tooth paste, cream
or powder into a small bottle. fill almost
full with water. shake well, let stand two
or three minutes. Then if you find sedi-
ment at the bottom, do not use that denti-
flee again. 1t is insoluble-and dangerous.
Is it not plain that gritty material which
will not dissolve in water will not dissolve
in your mouth either?
Grit in a dentifrice Is necessity-to
keep the teeth free from stains. tartar, ETC.
but insoluble grit is worse than none at
all. 1t gets into the gums and pyorrhea pock-
cts and becomes constant irritant. just
as it would If it got into the eye. To be

of soluble avatol. The grit in this is COM

Soluble avatol is at the same time the most
effective antiseptic tooth and gum cleanser
known. It's an enemy to pyorrhea. Use like

itself one of the cnvied places
in the motor world. But 40

BIG SHOWS COMING.

With travelling cities such as the
Sells-Floto circus, which will visit Co.
lumbia, Monday, Sept. 18th, is an
army of employees of which the pub
lie sees nothing These are attaches
who take no part in the performance
but devote themselves to tasks that
make it possible for the circus to
move. Among them are trainm n, car
porters, COOKS, walters and BARRIERS.
The routine of their work is such
that they seldom see the performance,
and the volume of their tasks is so
great that they seldom leave their
respective posts. To keep three cir
Gus trains in repair, to feed three
meals a day to hungry army, to
serve tn Sc meals, and to keep hun

lie is no easy task. This is the class

the only thing common to the Broad
vav hotel that is not common to the
circus is the telephone. However, its
need in the circus business has not
vet been demonstrated. Every EN-
plove with the CIRCUS knows his duties
and his place. The routine followed
during that day is such that any EN-
ulove is always within beck and call
of the management.

PRESIDENT PEYTON
ON CAR SHORTAGE
SAYS SPLENDID COOPERATION
ON PART OF SHIPPERS HAS
GREATLY HELPED.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. Ain an
address on the car shortage before
he Rotary Club here President John
lowe Peyton of the ~, c. & st. l..
railway took occasion to commend the
hearty cooperation which most of the
railroads were receiving from the
shippers. He said that but for such
cooperation the splendid transpOrta-
ton results noted by the Railroads
War Board would not have been pos.
sible.
President Peyton told of the ire
mendous demands which will be made
upon the railroads of the country in
handling the men and the supplies for
Uncle Sans army in addition to car
ing for the ordinary business of the
country.
"The Governments business is par
amount" he declared, "and it is the
duty of every shipper as patriotic
citizen of the United States to lend
his cooperation to the railroads in
their efforts to handle an unprece-
denied traffic"
Mr.. Peyton referred to the fact that
while the railroads had been able to
increase their equipment only three
per cent, that by increased loading
through the cooperation of shippers
over the country, they had been able
to increase their revenue ten miles
perciptibly. He also gave due credit
to the railroads for increased eff
cheney.
He urged upon shippers that they
unload all loaded cars promptly; that
they load outgoing cars promptly and
release them; that they anticipate
the disposition of a freight car be-
ore its arrival; that they avoid order
ing special types of cars when the
rdnary types will do, and that all
lrs be loaded to capacity.

TRAWELETTE
BFugeS.
BY NIKSAH


In a lost corner of the great low
land flat of Flanders, defended from
the sea by an artificial dyke, and at
the point of intersection of a network
of canals and waterways there stands
a little town known to the Belgians as
Brugge and to the rest of the world
as Bruges.
Fortunately for lovers of the quaint
and picturesque, this city with its
slender bell-turrets. its lace-like gables
and decorated house fronts has so
far been spared the general devasta-
ton that followed in the wake of the
invading Germans. They call it
'Bruges la morte" and at every turn
there is something to remind the Wis
itor of the decay that has fallen upon
the town The ever-recurring view
of picturesquely grouped tower, gable
and bridge, of wide filled parks,
breathes an atmosphere of infinite
stiffness and charm. which is at the
same time strangely pathetic.
The life of the city is centered in the
market place where every Saturday
the country folk bring what wares they
may have to sell. Dressed in a short
full skirt with a close-fitting white cap,
the peasant woman follows her cart
drawn by two or three large dogs in
harness. Black-robed priests in their
broad shovel hats hurry back and
forth, and every now and then sweet
faced sisters pass, bent upon some
errand of mercy. One misses the
groups of lacemakers sitting at their
work in the streets, laughing and gos-
siping while their shuttles fly back and
forth with incredible rapidity-for
Bruges has forgotten how to smile.
They are very fond of black, these Bel
gians, and everywhere the color pre-
dominates, but the exquisite color of
Bruges, the soft creams and reds of
the buildings, the green of the trees
and the blue simmer of the water in
the canals form a relieving back
ground.
Belgium is a desert, and of all it's
cities where has accumulated SO much
that is historical and beautiful, there
remain intact only four-Antwerp,
Brussels, Client and Bruges. But it
is possible that a change is at hand,
that Bruges may once more become
not the Venice of the north for that
time is past-but an important town
in a regenerated Belgium, for already
its citizens have begun to dream of
deliverance and a new existence, with
some portion of their former prosperi-
ty.
