Once-a-Week Polish
Keeps Teeth Stainless

Why do so many use pumice stone
ashes. charcoal, or other harsh, danger
GUS substance. to remove the unsightly
yellowish or blackish tinge from the
teeth? Simply because they have never
been able to find any tooth powder,
naste to liquid that would do the work
The reason tooth stains are SO difficult
to remove is that they are covered
with a Shiny film. or plaque" which
the usual dentrifices cannot penetrate
or dissolve.
The problem of removing these obsti-
nate films has finally been solved by a
well-known dentist, who has originated
what he calls "Once-a-Week Tooth Pol
ish." 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
preparation in the market. Once-a-
Week Tooth Polish, obtainable at any
druggists, should be used at least once
a week, as the name implies, by chill
dren, as we'll as adults, as a preventive
of decay. tartar, stains, germs.-Adver-
tisement.

THIS MAN HAD
PLENTY TO EAT
BUT NO APPETITE

Since taking the new medicine,
Dreco, l can eat anything put before
me and it doesn't hurt me either" said
Mr.. j. H. Reed, 81 E. Monroe Street,
kokomo, Ind, who is we'll known and
highly respected in that section.
Il used to have dull pains in my
stomach and everything I ate seemed
to lay heavy and would not digest.
The pains in my back and limbs would
hurt so bad that l could hardly go on
with my work at times. l would also
have dizzy spells and spots would float
before my eyes. | was constpated so
that l had to take medicine nearly
every night. I had taken several differ.
ent patent medicines and had good
doctor prescribe for me, but none of it
did me any good. l Twas growing worse
all the time, so that when Dreco came
along, and the people right here in our
own county and city were praising it
SO highly, 7 decided to give it a trial
The very first bottle helped me very
much. 1t seemed to soothe my stomach
and my food began to digest and the
pains to grow less. My bowel action
Got regular and natural and talk
about eating. My, but l think can
now eat too much. and it is giving me
also. The dizzy spells passed
off, which showed that Dreco was act
ing on my liver I expect to take
three more bottles, and / know l will
be absolutely cured then"
People, everywhere Dreco has been
introduced, have found great relief
from stomach trouble, nervousness,
weakness and debility through the use
Of DrecO. 1t builds up the whole body
and strengthens it. clears the blood of
ali poisOns and impurities, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, corrects
constipation and clears the system of
malaria and biliousness . Dreco has
been found especially good for women
who have spells of depression and
blues, poor circulation, hot f1ushes,
rumbness, poor sleep and are pale and
listless. 1t puts new life and vigor
into the nerves, brightens the eye and
improves the complexion. That Dreco
does what is claimed for it is proven
by the many testimonials given by per-
sons who have received great benefits
by its use.
All progressive druggists now sell
Dreco and it is highly recommended in

Few of us escape measles-it
is one of the cornmonest of child
hood diseases. Every mother
knows the symptoms, but the
mistake that most mothers make
is in failing to realize that the
child is not fully recovered after
the eruption and fever disappear.
The air passages are still inhamed
and if this inflammation is not
cleared up, the air passages may
be weakened, thus paving tie
way for pneumonia Or serious
disease of the lungs.

relieving this inflammation. Be-
cause Vicks acts locally by slim

mercial courses in colleges will not be felt for
three four years, but after that these courses
will occupy the same relative position that the
schools of journalism hold. These schools have
developed hundreds of capable young men for
newspaper work.

legiate training opportunity to prove their abil-
ity. Many of them rose to comparatively high
rank. Few are satisfied to occupy the mediocre
positions they'll in civilian life. They

courses will find that many of the prospective
applicants will be service men bent on improving
their minds and acquiring knowledge to help
them in commerce and industry.
Graduates of the~high schools, who do not
care to pursue professional careers will find these
courses helpful Formerly many of them entered
business colleges. The college courses will grap-
pie with deeper and more fundamental subjects
than those taught in business colleges and will
prepare young men to accept positions of greater
responsibility.
The leaders of industry and business say there
are greater opportunities for the young man to-
day than ever in the history of the country. The
young man who prepares himself for the oppor-
tunity will certainly be in position to grasp it.
Education is desirable asset The application of
knowledge is true wisdom. The young man who
is seeking business career cannot complain that
the opportunity of training does not exist.

WHY DID THE UNITED
STATES co BONE DRY?

These statistics show that this hos
pital has obtained better results with
medicines containing glycerine men
strums than those in which alcohol
was used for the same purpose. The
fact is that even a small dose or alco-
hol will aggravate the interior Innings
just as surely as it will inflame the

Pepgen, the stomach, nerve and

soothing influences.
Pepgen rs made from pure oils and
juices extracted from a vast number OF
different kinds of leaves. roots and
banks preserved in a rich, palatable
syrup. Furthermore, there is nothing
secret or mystifying about its ingred
tents. The names of the ingredients
are printed on the back of every car
ton. together with treatise regarding
their properties.
Among the many plants used are red
cinchona from which quinine is made,
This is an anti-malarial agent which is
of service in debility, wasting diseases,
pallor and impoverished blood. There
is also genital root, which aids and in
vigorates digestion. And peppermint
leaves, which stop nausea, eXpel gas

bark. which is of benefit where there
is. yellowness of the eyes and skin and
where there is a sense of uneasiness

Realizing the importance of preserv
ing the health of the nation over ev-
erything else, thirty-siX sovereign
states of America, at tremendous loss
of revenue, ratified the Prohibition
Amendment to the Constitution of this
great republic on January %, 1919;
marking an epoch which is undoubted-
ly the greatest advance for welfare
known in its history.
After years and years it has, at last
been recognized that alcohol is a det-
riment to morals and danger to life,
whether used by citizens in the largest
cities or in the smallest communities.
This is due, of course. to the effect
that alcohol has upon the human sys-
tenn

tion and every other function, often
destroying vitality itself. Alcohol has
frequently been known to cause hard

ic pains and seriously harm brain pow
er.
There was a time when the extern
sive use of alcohol, for internal pur-
poses, might have been eXcuSable ow-
ing to the lack of knowledge that this
poison caused 1t was due to the same
reason-lack of knowledge-that the

der the witch Ordinances" believing
that in so doing they were casting out
devils Nowadays everybody knows
this was wrong and the practice of the
Puritans in this respect will always re
main as a blot against those God-fear-
ing and otherwise righteous people.
Since the injurious qualities of alco-
hol have been acknowledged, the ques-
ton is, why should alcohol be issued
in medicines any more than sold in
beverages" When absorbed into the
blood the consequences are the same
in either case.
Formerly it was thought that all
tinctures, fluid extracts and cordials
required alcohol. If statistics pub
lished by the London (Eng) Temper
ance hospital are correct, then the
above theory is wrong.

THE LOOK OF THE WORLD
BY George Matthew Adams


The world, being extremely big, car
ries about with it an unusually big
look. And human beings, being cor
respondingIy so very small, sort of
stand in awe at the world when it
looks at them.
But, as matter of fact, the world
is much like the human beings who
live in tin that it doesn't always
mean things the way we think they
look.
Looks themselves play very true
you can bring tears of deep hurt to
the eyes of child simply by the look
in your own eyes. But looks are so
often misinterpreted.
Understanding comes only through
long patience and charity and toler-
anCe. If it is true that much we think,
we don't mean, it is all the more true
that many of our looks are also mis-
understood.
The only way to Judge .another's
looks accurately is to be invited into
their heart. There you will learn.
How often folks go through bitter
and unhappy days because they say,
We'll, it looked as though they meant
to hurt" whereas no hurt was meant
at all.
The look of the world is a compos-
lite look. But the look of your indi-
vidual heart is as direct as the rays
of the sun. And it will. like the sun,
always pierce it's way through. bring
ing health and gladness-except when
you choose to scatter clouds and dark
ness between.
Take care to look happy and kind
and generous, and the whole world is
sure to save it's best looks for you.

bringing the medication to bear
directly upon the inflamed areas.
Children's digestions are deli
cate-easily disturbed by too
much dosing" Vicks, there
fore, is particularly recommended
since it is externally applied and
so can be used often and freely
without the slightest harmful
effects.
Vicks should be rubbed in
over the throat and chest until
the skin is red-then spread on
thickly and covered with hot
flannel cloths. Leave the cloth
ing loose around the neck and
the bed clothes arranged in the
form of a funnel so the vapors
arising may be freely inhaled.
If the cough is annoying, swallow
a small bit of Vicks the size of a
pea.

Business Courses in Colleges

The establishment of business course in

SPRING FEVER

(BY DR.. VALENTINE MOTIF

At this time of year most people
suffer from what we term "spring
fever" because of a stagnant con-
dition of the blood, because of the
toxins (poisons) stored up within
the body during the long winter.
We eat too much meat, with little
or no green vegetables.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic
people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have a poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn or feverish
