At the time of the break between our

cans of Detroit whom we recognize as
among our best citizens and among the
most patriotic of our citizens, told US
at once where they stood, and that was
exactly where we expected to find them
with the United States, first, last and
all the time.
They are at once absolved from any
relations with the class we have in mind
as meddlers.
These meddlers share the same liber-

The sentiment of the public in general
toward them is that they are making a

and a better understanding Of the fit

and larger. Soon the whole tooth
is undermined by decay and becomes

Bad teeth are the cause OF much
trouble, aside from the severe pain
which often results from a decaysd
tooth. Bad teeth cannot chew the
food properly and poorly cheved
food cannot be properly digested.
This gives rise TO indigestion and
other stomach disorders.
In addition to the remnants Of
food there may be deposits OF tartar

tar Is a precepitate from the fluids
OF the mouth. II sccumulates around
