How Film Destroys

Film is what discolors - not the teeth.
1t is the basis of tartar. 1t holds food
substance which fernents and forms acid.
1t 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.

Those Pretty Teeth
Should Last Lifetime Them
All Statements Apbr0ea BY High Dental Autso,tis
AH Statements App,oved BY High Dental authorities

Dental authorities now agree that the
thing which ruins pretty teeth is film.
1t is that viscous film, ever-present,
ever-forming. You can feel it with your
tongue. 1t clings to teeth, enters crew
ices and stays.
The tooth brush does not end it. The
ordinary dentifrice does, not dissolve it.
So month after month it clings, and may
do ceaseless damage.
That is why brushed teeth discolor and
decay. Tooth troubles are constantly in
creasing. People think they clean the
teeth, but they leave this film. And teeth
are ruined by it.

Forty-one nations, embracing among
them many of the great states Of
the earth, were represented on the

the outset the delegates showed keen
interest and paid close attention. Such
routine matters as the confirmation

presented by a British delegate, was
adopted unanimously.
In his address accepting the presi'
dency of the league, Paul Hymans

the league is perfect and he init
mated that amendments would be
considered
The Swiss president welcomed the
assembly at Geneva Immediately after
the foreign minister, Paul Hymans, OF
Belgium, had called the gathering.
The first sitting of the International
Parliament was staged in an at
mosphere of austerity worthy of the
stern simplicity with which Geneva
looks to associate the memory Of her
most illustrious son.
The hall is strongly reminiscent Of
a congregational house OF worship IN
America 1t is barely large enough to
accommodate the delegates and their
advisors who were seated in long rows
across the floor at plain brown desks
The president and the secretariat Of
ficials occupied a platform at one end
which is the speakers rostrum, an un-
adorned black table.
President Hymans, of the league of
nations, announced that the league
would not take up the Tacna africa
