he European Bar Association in that

city.
In the winter of 1S75-'76 reports
filtered down to Robert College of
hideous outrages by Turkish soldiers
and bashbazouks in Bulgaria, and
Eugene Schuyler, the American diplo-
mat, and Januarius Aoysius Mac
Gahan, an American newspaper corre-
spondent, were sent to investigate CON
ditions. Their revelations startled the
world and moved "The Daily News Of
London, to send Mr.. Pears thither His
reports in May and June, 1875, some
of which were reprinted in government
blue books, inspired MIR. Gladstone to
emerge from retirement and take the
lead in great public movement Of
protest against the British's govern
ment's tolerance and patronage of Tur-
key. 1t was then that Gladstone de-
manded that the Turk be expelled, "bag
and baggage" from Europe; and he
kept up the scathing denunciation Of
bulgarian atrocities" until at last in
1880 he returned to Parliament from
Midlothian with majority behind him
which drove the Beaconsfield govern
ment from office.
After these stirring times and the
Russo-Turkish War Mr.. Pears gave
himself almost entirely to literature.

See How w

Perhaps your teeth are clouded by a
film. Most teeth are, more or less, save
right after cleaning in dentists chair.
The cloudy film looks like the teeth,
and you think the teeth are clouded. But
it is the film. Remove it and see how
teeth look then
That viscous film which you feel with
your tongue is the cause of most tooth
troubles. 1t clings to teeth, enters crew
ices and stays. The tooth brush does not
end it. The ordinary dentifrice does not
dissolve it. So it stays much of it .-
and may do ceaseless damage.
That is why so many brushed teeth
discolor and decay. You leave the film,
and that is the great tooth wrecker De-
spite the tooth brush, statistics show that
tooth troubles are constantly increasing.

How Teeth Are Ruined

That film is what discolors NOT the
teeth. 1t is the basis of tartar. It holds
food substance which ferments and forms
acid. 1t holds the acid in contact with
the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it, Dentists
call the film bacterial plaque" Those
germs, with tartar, are the chief cause of
pyorrhea.

Detroit River tunnel
General Goethals, consulting engineer
for the Joint commissions. did not favor
this plan. as he regarded the difficulties
of trenching the river bed such that con-
struction would require too great a length
Of time and prove too costly.
The second proposal was made in 1913
by the firm of Jacobs & Davies, consulting
engineers. This plan called for the build
ing of two separate tubes, each having
seventeen-foot roadway and walk on each
side for pedestrians. The tunnels were to
be of cast iron and would provide space for
two lines of vehicles in each single tube.
The total cost at the time the scheme was
advanced was estimated at $1,000 600.
The joint commission and General Goe-
thals do not approve of this plan to-day.
They deem that the driving of two sep
arate tunnels would necessitate a greater

Although the bill now before the Legls-

which have received the consideration OF
