Colony Near
Los Angeles Has Troubles

The Socialist colony at Llano del
Rio, in the Antelope valley near Los
Angeles, has not solved all the prob
lens of living and new comes word
from Los Angeles that the greater part
of the colony has moved to Stables,
Louisiana, where the rainfall comes
from above instead of in irrigating

of Mr.. Newman and Mr.. Pearcy. Jack
Frost. while not a member of the col
ony, is understood to have invested.
While those interested in the colony
claim that its affairs are prosperous,

faithful found it advisable to move to
the colony at Stables, Louisiana.
After the Llano del Rio company
cot into financial straits some time

formed and the holdings of the Del

Do you know that modern. medical research finds
over fifty per cent of our physical ills are due to
bad teeth?
Do you know that the up-to-dste doctor is sending
his patients---those whose cases BATTLE him---to
the dentist instead of to the sanitarium---or to
the operating table?
Do you know that diseases and maladies, that have
m~ystified the medical profession and have caused
sufferers untold sums of money in wasted treat
ments, have been cured simply through proper
correction of tooth troubles?
Do you know that you may be ailing right now from
some difficulty that is traceable solely to decayed,
abcessed, crooked or broken teeth?
Do you know that you owe it to yourself to see a
dentist once every six months whether you think
that you need dental work or not---because de-
fects creep slyly into even the most carefully
cleansed teeth and gums?
Do you know that one Of the reasons you dodge the
dentist is because you fear him--fear a heavy ex-
pense, fear the interminable delays that gener-
ally dental Operations" fear the
gruelling ordeal that you have been led to believe
must accompany all ooth-Jreatment--and fear
unsatisfactory workmanship, on top of all that?
Do you know that dentistry has become such a bug
bear that most of you prefer to let your teeth go
all to pieces before you will muster up enough
courage to face a jaw-architect?
BUT
Do you know that you are not only short-sighted in
neglecting what our Army is telling the people
equipment--the teeth--but you are failing to
grasp an opportunity to get relief without any Of
the troubles and pains and annoyances and

ened you way from dentistry?
