and Dentfrices Among Your Presents to Soldiers

Briefly in previous editorial have pointed out to
young men IN the army that much fighting done WITH
THE TEETH
We longer fight our enemy seizing him by the ear
while sangle him in the old fashion of animals and
sges But we do fight with the strength given to US by our
weapons called TEETH give the body the good blood and
the strength with which fighting is done.
Good digestion depends on good teeth.
Good eyesight depends on good digestion
You may truly say that SEES with his teeth,
he FIGHTS with his teeth.
Going into the army with change of food of water of
life habits the teeth is extremely important and at the
same time apt to be neglected.
Many young men are together in close quarters they
work hard from daylight in the morning until they
haused In the evening No wonder their inclination is to
throw themselves their cots in the tents with little aten
Ou to the fighting weapons that nature has put inside their
mouths.
But greater mistake could not be made As good SOL
der carefully cleans and oils the rifle that has been exposed
to wet and to rust the wise soldier carefully cleans and
brushes the teeth that Will be important to him and contribute
to his happiness and health and success twenty and fifty
years from now when that rifle and this will only be
memories to him.

You wear but Sleep in khaki Very well but take one half
minute and clean those white weapons that will help

While he sings where going from here" light
heartey you FIND OUT where he going and send to that
place another tooth brush two and another supply OF den
thrice that takes care of the teeth.
When young lad that you have taken the trouble
TO remember he is ashamed not to what have taken

It will better regards the future battle Of life Of the
Young man who going his brain in building sue
cess 70 COME BACK WITH ONE LEG MISSING rather
than to come back with his teeth ruined
With one leg off you think and work with your brain
