Rheumatism and Many
Other Human Ills Are
Often Caused by
Decayed Teeth

Lots of people have taken loads of med-
cine, hoping to cure their so-called 'rheum-
atism," when the trouble probably lay right
in the teeth. A pus sac often forms in the
root canal of tooth, and this pus is slowly
absorbed into the system and gathers at some
part of the body, such as the joints, causing
swelling and pain.
Ii is apparent that the proper way to relieve
this condition is to go right to the fountain
head, viz: the decayed tooth that started all
the trouble.
You will be amazed, if you now have de-
cayed teeth, just how much your health will
be improved by having them put into perfect
condition. Once your teeth are fixed up per-
fectly and your mouth put into a sanitary
condition, it is a comparatively simple matter
to keep them that way. An occasional visit
to our Office then, an occasional thorough
cleaning and you will probably have no fur

PERSH|NG'S
Department
WILL TRAIN
10000 men
ORDERS OUT

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 11.-Orders
were received at headquarters of the
Southern department late Thursday after
noon TO convene boards for the selection
of camp sites for the training of six of the
eighteen divisions which will compose the
new army under the selective draft bill
The boards are to consist of line. medical
engineer, quartermaster and signal corps
officers and will begin the work as soon
as possible.
The order is looked upon as develop
ment of the visit to Washington of Gen
eral Pershing and probably will mean that
more than 100000 men in the new army
will be trained in the Southern depart
ment. Ii is almost certain that the largest
camps will be in the immediate vicinity of
San Antonio. The new army will he called
to the colors in September and the camps
will have to be selected and prepared by
that time.
Ii has been pointed out that efficiency
and economy will be gained by training the
new army in the South. as they can be
accommodated in environments instead of
barracks and can work almost every day
of the year. General Pershing j. said to
have made recommendations to this effect
In the discussion of the problem which has
confronted the war department since the
conscription bill was introduced. and it i

In France the deadlock continues, but
