Once-a- Week Polish
Keeps Teeth Stainless

Why do SO many use pumice stone,
ashes, charcoal or other harsh, dan
gerous substance, to remove the IN
slightly yellowish or blackish tinge
from the teeth? Simply because they
have never been able to find any
tooth powder, paste or liquid that
would do the work. The reason tooth
stains are SO difficult to remove is
that they are covered with Shiny
film, or plaque" which the usual
dentifrices cannot penetrate or dis
solve.
The problem of removing these
obstinate films has finally been
solved by a well-known dentist. who
has originated what he calls Once
a-Week Tooth Polish" This polish
not only removes all discoloration
easily and quickly. but without the
least injury to enamel or gums
qualities not found in any other prep
aration in the market. Once-a-Week
Tooth Polish, obtainable at any drug
gist's, should be used at least once a
week, as the name implies, by chill
dren, as well as adults, as a proven
tive Of decay, tartar. stains. germs.

Seventh street. There are marks on

over to the right and to have crashed
into the Ford.
Mr.. Helwig was slightly injured In
several bruises. His truck had to be
put into the repair shop. People who

their criticism Of young McCutchan,
both for the speed at which he was
driving and also for swinging so far

the fire was dicovered during the
middle of the afternoon the roof was
ablaze in several places and for some
time it looked as If the place could
not possibly be saved, for the firemen
had strong wind to battle with. The
fire seems to have been caused by
an over-heated stove pipe, which ex.
tended from a downstairs room,
through an upstairs room into the
flue.
The building is a sixteen room
dwelling and was occupied by two
families who were suddenly thrust
out of their homes. Mrs. E. M. Tay-

downstairs and upstairs on the west
