worth, and that the only cheap thing
is beer which sells at the rate of four
beers for one mark.

the most important questions are
where and when and how do we eat?
We have found commodities very high.
When on the road last week we had

eggs, bread Ozark German bread. but

Easy to Keep All
Teeth Pearly White

1t will be found quite easy to keep
the teeth white, shining and free from
discoloration by brushing them once a
week with new and remarkable pro-
duct originated by a well-known dent
list. While 1t contains nothing which
might injure the enamel or gums, it
will surely remove even the most OBJ
stinate stains and deposits.
The reason SO many teeth are never
thoroughly clean, no matter how much
they are brushed and scrubbed, is the
presence of transparent films, or
plaques" SO called, which adhere to
the tooth surface and which become
discolored by dirt, decayed food, nico-
tine or other things. These films are
really thin layers of fat-which ac-
counts for that slippery feeling when
touched with the tongue-and denti-
frices do not penetrate them. They are
completely and quickly removed by
Once a-Week Tooth Polish" however.
and the trouble will not reappear il
this is used at regular intervals. It
keeps teeth, gums and mouth in a hy-
genie condition, and there is no surer
preventative of stains, tartar. decay,
soreness or sponginess of gums. Any
druggist can supply it. If you have a
relative or friend in Uncle Sans army
or navy by all means send him a pack
