an excessive charge.
Firing Charges by Electricity.
The electrical method of firing blasts
is beginning to be extensively used. In
firing charges by this method the fol-
lowing equipment is needed: One
blasting machine, 300 feet of double
leading wire to reach from the stumps
to the blasting machine, some connect
ing wire to connect the stumps togeth-
er in series, and electric detonators
in place of the caps and fuses used in
ordinary blasting. Firing by electric
ity has many advantages over the cap
and fuse method. The danger of pre-
mature explosions is greatly reduced
and the danger from delayed explo-
sions is entirely eliminated. Proba-
bly, more people have been injures in
stump blasting by too hasty investiga-
ton of delayed explosion than from
any other cause. When using the cap
and fuse method, the safe rule to fol-
low when charge does not explode
as expected is to keep away from the
locality until the next day. Where

necessary to blast stumps so near to
each other that the explosion Of a
charge under one stump would loosen

partially burned soutsoby any of the
burning processes previously described
the roots can best be blown cut by fir

show you how
to end film. See below.
Look in the Glass

Look in the Glass
Look at your teeth in the glass. Then
brush them in this new way for ten
days and look again.
There is film on your teeth-a
Shiny film. It clings to the teeth,
enters crevices and stays. The tooth
brush does not end it. The ordinary
tooth paste does not dissolve it. So it
stays between the teeth and elsewhere
and may do a ceaseless damage.
That film is what discolors not the
teeth. It is the basis of tartar. It holds
food substance which ferments and
forms acid. It holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Thus most tooth troubles are
now traced to film.
Dental science, after years of search
ing, has found way to combat it. Able
authorities have proved it by many
careful tests. Now the method is en-
bodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent,
and leading dentists everywhere are
urging its daily use.
A To-Day Tube is now supplied to
everyone who asks. Test it and see
what it means to you.

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the
digestant of albumin. The film is albu-
minous matter. The object of Pepso-
dent is to dissolve it, then to day by
day combat It.
But pepsin must be activated. The
usual method is an acid harmful to the
teeth. So pepsin long seemed barred.
Science has now overcome this trouble
by discovering a harmless activating
method. It is that method which makes
possible this efficient film combatant

STUMP SPEAKER
Is Making Active Campaign
to Become Husbands Sue

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PLYMOUTH, November 3-Lady
Astor. in her speech tonight on her
adoption as unionist candidate for
parliament, told those who had gath
cred to hear her that it was be-
cause she had "the mirth of the Brit
ISL Tommy, who could laugh while
going over the top" she was able
to face the tremendous responsible
ity Of attempting to become the
first woman member of the house Of
commons.
II realize that it depends on how
I behave myself there" she added.
A moment later she said: ''It took
the spirit of Drake and the faith of
the pilgrim fathers to get me here
tonight
viscount Astor came forward to
present his wife. saying: 'T have
successor-your future representa-
tive" This was greeted with loud
cheers, and laughter, and Lord Aston
went on: II have been asked pre-
sumably because I know more about
her than any one else. Although
she is light of heart. nevertheless she
is mindful of the responsibilities"
He concluded by expressing regret
at the necessity Of stepping aside
owing to his elevation to the peerage.

tor-for that is the name by which
she is most widely known-will be
the central figure. and apparently is
most eager for the tilt.
She lost no time in firing the open

this afternoon drove into the wharf

drawn by a team Of beautiful horses,
with brides decorated with red. white
and blue rosettes.
battery of press photographers, a
swarm of children from the adjacent
slum district and a miscellany of dock
laborers and market workers imme-
diately massed about the carriage.
Smiling coward the photographers,
Lady Astor asked: "Why can't you
let US have our little election down
here in Devonshire?"
Then, turning to the crowd, she ex-
claimed: Aren't these foreigners aw-
full persons? This elected much
laughter.
Exchanges Repartee With Crowd.
Lady Astor then stood in her car
riage and made a brief talk. exchang-
ed repartee with the crowd and an
swered the heck1ers. generally silenc-
ing them with few barbed words,
but with all evidences of good humor.
Some of her shafts were:
Il think you all know who is the
workingman's friend"
IF some people had what we have
they would not be down here bother
ing for votes"
You should go down on your knees
and thank God you've got some one
honest to represent you"
Il like peoples children to be treat
ed as treat my own"
But for the. fact that there are
women none of you would be here"
Shefconcluded by asking: How many
are going to vote for me? Hold up
your hands!'

Everybody Responds.

The men. women and children all
most without exception extended their
hands. Then one of the photographers
asked Lady Aston to pose aboard a
fishing schooner moored a few yards
away.
II am not a movie actress" she pro-
tested. Nevertheless, she descended
from the carriage and walked across
the Shiny pavement of the fish mart
and stepped nimbly aboard the boat
assisted by policeman and a fisher
man.. Several pictures were taken.
Then the grizzled captain of the boat
was posed beside Lady Astor by the
photographer. and the candidate i'm
proved the opportunity while the cam
eras were clicking by asking the cap
tain:
will you vote for me?'
He readily nodded assent
Gross your heart" insisted Lady
Astor. and the sailor complied, to the
amusement of the onlookers.
The labor candidate, w. T. Gay, and
his liberal opponent, Isaac Foot, have
indicated that Lady Astor's American
BIRTH. the possession of wealth, the
fact that she is a woman, and her at
titude regarding prohibition are points
upon which her candidacy will be at
tackled.

Not in Race as Sex Candidate.

In her address Lady Astor said that
she was too interested in the general
welfare OF the country to enter lightly
into the contest. Nor was she there,
she declared. as sex candidate. She
was there as a citizen, honored be-
yond measure by the invitation of the
people to become their candidate for
parliament.
The speaker said she came before
the people as a substitute for one
whom she felt even his opponents
would admit to be one of the highest

Viscount Aston in his address de-
clared that it was his intention to be-

commons.
Novel Campaign Utterances.
Lady Astor introduced into her
speech many expressions novel in
English campaigning, which evoked
repeated outbursts of laughter.
81 have heard many people say they
favored women taking part in pupb-
lie affairs, but" here lapsing into
American rural vernacular, she con-
tinued, they amt sure they ought
to be in the commons"
This convulsed the gathering. Some
of Lady Astor's other epigrams were:
THE whole Of England Is looking at
US. Let's keep the campaign clean"
you are not going to get a. perfet
government until you are perfect; the
government can only reflect the gov

Lady Astor concluded by saying:

of a number of unionists opposing
Lady Astor on the ground of sex, to-
