BACK TO THE FARM FOR THE | NEMPLOYED

Many efforts have been made during the past decade or two to start a back to the farm" move ment but practically all have end ed m failure. While Uncle Sans Farm for our Soldiers and Oth- CTS move .nent may prove more successful than previous efforts of the kind from the fact that 1t IS backed by the United States Government financially and ma. terally. There should be no idle men Tn this country, since Uncle Sam has plenty of land, millions of acres ot l1le land, and is able to carry out any big movement on a large scale. Labor can always md employment on the farms ant capital can find profitable in- veSt.neat in giving work to the unemployed on the farm.
 Here are millions of acres of Idle lands in Arkansas and re turning soldiers should take ad- vantage of the government gen. erous offer to place them on farms.

BAD TEETH LIKE BULLETS
 IN THE WAR
It's an Absolute Fact That Decayed Teeth and Bis eased Mouths Rivalled the Enemy's Bullets in Dis abling Soldiers in the Late Worlds War.

An editorial in a leading New York newspaper states on good au- thority .he following:
 "In the trenches in Europe, more soldiers were disabled through ills arising from bad teeth than by any other cause save the bullets of the enemy"
 Arc You nt War With Your Own
 Good Health?
 You are if you are neglecting your mouth and teeth. You are laying your system open unprotected against the attack of most any known ailment.
 There's positively no good reason for fighting against your own best intsrests. You are doing this though, if you are permitting your teeth to decay If you are among the vast army of people who are neslectinS their mouths, may we presume to ask
 Why Arc You Doing So?
 Is Is fear of pain? Then fear no longer for with our famous "Nap-A- Minit" or Gas there Is no pain and if it is the cost hesitate no more for you will find our prices to be well within your reach. And if you are fearful that your teeth are too far gone to be repaired and that we may toll you you'll have to have false ones. forget this too for our Porce- lain dental method is noted for the restoration of perfect, natural teeth without plates.
 The PorCclnin Method Is What You
 Want.
 Porcelain teeth look and act like natures very one-in fact our work is practically non-detectable. Bring your tooth troubles to us and to re- verse an old and favorite maxim, we'll make a mole hill out of what appears as a mountain to you.
