TEETH AND The FACE

When you smile in a mirror what
do you see?
Do you see a clean. healthy mouth
and a row of pearls. or a neglected
one with decaying and uncared fol
teeth?
In any event there are millions OF
/ germs present that can only be seen
with a high-pOwer microscope.
These germs grow in film that
forms on the surfaces of the teeth
called the bacterial plaque"
Many kinds of germs breed in these
plaques; almost half of them belong
to the group known as streptococci.
They are swallowed in great num-
bers and frequently cause stomach
and intestinal trouble. They invade
the gum margins which are poorly
protected and enter the blood stream
and lymphatics. One result Of the in
vasion of the gums is pyorrhea. In
the beginning they only produce
slight Inflammation of the gums, but
the inflammed gums soon loosen. The
Inflammation penetrates farther un-
der the gums and spreads the infec-
ton. As the infection spreads, it at
tacks the bone and the gums recede.
The final stage is loosened teeth,
which eventually fall out.
The mucous membrane of the
mouth is highly resistant to the in
vasion of bacteria If this were not
true. we would all be in constant
trouble from mouth infections, for II
is easy to demonstrate that every
mouth in any civilized community
contains a great variety OF bacteria,
most OF them of highly virulent
strains.
Aside from health, teeth may make
or mar face.
Many faces otherwise beautiful may
be spoiled by an unkept set of teeth. /
There is no feature that adds so
much to beauty as clean mouth and .
a clean. regular set of well-kept set .
Of teeth.
When you look into mirror do you
see this picture or the reverse, teeth
stained by neglect, covered with tar
.ar and the remains of previous
meals. gums swollen and infammed
instead of being as pink as coral?
Deposits upon the teeth and the sur
,ounding gum lines are not only the
sure beginning of tooth and gum
rouble. but the million of germs that
ire living in and upon them are a
menace to the health as well.
No one who reads the papers or
ries to keep in touch with the science
# today can doubt that the teeth and
mouth play one of the most impor-
ant parts. not only with the health,
nut with out very lives. No civilized
erson today can doubt the value, nay

OUR PLAN

1t is the purpose and plan of the Com
mon Wealth Mortgage Bond Company of
Iowa to provide the capital necessary for
these building operations, making loans
based on conservative estimate of the
value of the ground and the improvement
proposed. The loan will be secured by
first mortgage guaranteed and endorsed by
the owners of the property. This mort
gage or trust deed will be deposited with
the company and there will be issued
serial bonds in various denominations, at
the current rates of interest. These bonds
will be in denominations as low as 500,
thus furnishing safe investments for the
smallest investor.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1920-02-26
OUR PROFITS

The earnings of this company will be lin
tied only by its ability to turn its capital.
Many institutions of this character turn their
capital over twenty five times year even
more. To be conservatives let us suppose that
we win turn our capital only five times
year. This would show profit of approx
mately $1,OO0O00 yearly. In addition to
this the outstanding capital would always be
earning at least per cent or approximately
another $l2O,OOO a year. This estimate is
based on the earning power of similar COM
panies showing a return of several million
dollars yearly on a capital no larger than
ours
In addition to employing it's own capital
the company will eventually become large
borrower of money which can be profitably
used in it's operations Let us repeat. This
country is five totem years behind it's normal
building program. AS a consequence there
is no limit to the volume of business we can
secure. And right now as the company is
being organized we have on file applica tons
for loans which would justify the prediction
of even larger returns than above estimated.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1920-02-26
Miscellaneous Profits

Building finance will be our chief concern,
but we will also deal in first and second farm
mortgages, municipal, county aud road bonds
and securities OF sound industries of estab-
lished earning power. The investors of Iowa
are invited to participate in this unusual
Offering. We feel certain that there is moth
ing safer which offers such attractive returns

Our MANAGEMENT

San enterprise can only be as sound as
its management" This Company will be
in the hands of men who know this bust
ness. Its board of directors is composed
of successful business men of recognized
standing and financial strength. The Com
pany's funds will be loaned only after ex-
pert appraisal and committee action.
The sales department will be in tie
hands of thoroly experienced bond man
who will be re ponsible for the distribution
of the bonds issued by the company Iowa
investors want Iowa investments, and that
l wide distribution the investment field of
/ percentage of the outstanding loan is
the life of the issue. AS general thing
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1920-02-26
OUR PROOF

That these estimates are entirely conserva-
tive is evidenced by the record of every insti-
tuition in this business or investment bank
ing of similar nature. One great eastern
firm starting over a generation ago boasts .
that their clients have never lost cent on :
their investments. That their operations
have been profitable is indicated by the fact
that an interest in their business cannot be
purchased. In fact most diligent inquiry
has failed to find any stock for sale in any OF
the investment banking companies doing
business of the character we propose to fol-
low. This is the strongest kind OF proof OF
the extraordinary profit in this business
All the evidence available unanimously
confirms our belief and confidence in the safe
and profitable future of THE COMMON
WEALTH MORTGAGE BOND COMPANY
OF IOWA
g The field is here There is practically no
limit to the demand for building finance.
The safety is of the highest character, and
the profit is legitimate and satisfactory.
During the Great War first mortgage build
ing bonds showed less fiuctuation than any
other class of security. There was a market
for them at parat any time, and the demand
is always greater than the supply.
The cities of Iowa are growing steadily and
their growth is healthy one. BackeG 2S
they are and necessary to the greatest COM
monweaith in the Union their sound future
is ;assured Iowa occupies the unique dis
tinction of being the greatest food producing
region in the world. The bed rock basis of
all human prosperity is ours, and with this
basis the future of Iowa lands and city pro-
perty can only be toward a steady enhance
msnt of value.
That outsiders recognize this condition is
proven by the fact that millions of dollars
worth of bonds are sold in this state yearly,
the money going out of Iowa to develop other
sections of the country Let Us keep this
money at home for the development of our
own state.

These quizzical moves are all interest

OIL-BURNING RAILROADS.

Oil as q locomotive fuel seems TO
| be pushing into competition with coal
not alone as to the water lines, but
| in the larger business of overland trans
| portation. As yet it may be said that
the use of oil as engine fuel in railroad
transportation is so limited as 10 be
regarded as experimental But at least one
big system is preparing to completely
: substitute oil for coal.
Announcement from the main office
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
system was made at the beginning of
the current week to the effect that
an order has been placed for fifty large
oil-burning engines, to be used on this
system. There engines are expected
to be coming before the end of June,
and the system has already constructed
oil tanks at points along its lines pro-
viding for the exclusive use of oil fuel.
This Southwestern system, extending
as it does down through the Texas oil
fields. may, of course, be In more advsn-
tageous situation to substitute oil for
coal than most of the other rail systems,
but, nonetheless, tho Inauguration Of an
oil-burning railroad system is going
10 be watched with studious interest
Fuel oil is more generally distributed
the world over and apparently more
abundant than usable grades Of coal
OF the 1900 merchant marine ships
built by the United States government,
more than 20 per cent are equipped to
use oil as fuel. and the use of oil is re-
garded as a great operative economy.
The trend toward the use of oil as engine
fuel should furnish those contingents
of the coal-mine workers that are insist
ing upon a wage OF 81 the hour for an
eight-hour day some food for serious

THE DAYLIGHT-SAVING TANGLE.

Much as the friends of the daylight.
saving plan, and they are clearly the
great majority Of the population, will
regret the tangle into which the matter
finds itself by reason of the conflict
Of the city ordinance with the State
law, the repeal Of the latter seems to be
the only logical course if worse confusion
is to be avoided. The local measure was
passed when the Congress repealed
the time law in the hope that by separ ate
but Simultaneous action of the various
communities the great advantages of the
daylight-saving scheme would not be
thrown away. But unfortunately there
has not been that unity that was looked
for; and the State law which the City
Solicitor finds TO be in conflict with the
city ordinance compels the standard
time Of Pennsylvania to conform to the
national standards.
Relief, therefore, must be found in a
reconsideration by Congress of its i'll
advised action in repeating the act fixing
the zone time standards and the day
lght-saving time adjustment. The in
terests that are inconvenienced by the
system were powerful enough to impress
their views upon the Congress. Ii the
people who have so signally benefited by
the additional hour of daylight for rest
and recreation viii get together and

Not Sustained BY the Facts.

The Dover State Sentinel. in an eIa-
deavor to make parti san point, ventured
upon the surprising statement that the
extra session of the Legislature. held IN
1898, was called upon TO pass g General
Incorporation law. but failed in this un-
dertaking through Democratic incapacIty.
Probably this audacious misstatement
was advanced to pave the way Tor excuses
in the event of a failure by the present
Legislature, Republican in each branch,
to meet the requirements of the special
session called to meet next Monday.
The DoYer Index, however, quickly
dispelled this partisan accusation. 1t
showed that the session of 1898 was sn
adjourned session, made necessary by the
adoption of the new Constitution the wear
before, and that it's time was taken up in
conforming statutes TO the new funda-
mental Law The General Incorporation
law was the work of the 1899 session. and
was not a partisan measure. as it received
support from a Democratic Senate and a
Republican House, and was approved by
Democratic governor.
A small matter, in truth. But IL shows
that partisan papers should be very care
full not to have their partisan accusations
conflict with the facts.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN TAKEN.

The story that thousands of persons in
New York witnessed the robbery of q
jewelers. window on Broadway, and that
the thieves got away with their loot,
is the kind Of story that We have be-
come quite accustomed to recently. There
must be some wonder as to what has
become Of the courage Of our people
If that Broadway crowd of theatre
goers had resolutely closed in on the
thieves were only three Of them
none OF them could have gotten away.
The result woulohhave been notice to all
robbers that crime Of that kind had
ceased to be easy or safe.
Those thieves have no more courage
than the average of people, but they work
on the theory that the average of people
have only about the came courage
that they have. And too commonly
they have been able to get away with the
idea,-Philadelphia Press.

GODS AMEN.
Laura Lippincott Pancoast.

A shadow and a sunbeam,
A flash of light afar,
A glimpse of dawn abreaking,
And not a sound TO jar.
The solemn, holy stiffness
OF Love, that quickening wakes,
And from the night of sorrow,
A crown of gold he takes.
Where now the cross so heavy,
Where now the pain and grief?
Surely the gladsome morning
Ne'er before brought such relief.
The mists that seemed rising,
The clouds that have swept by,
All tell of Love, the victor
And His glory In the sky.
My fears have all gone from me,
My hopes spring up anew,
And out of the nights deep shadow
Comes my message, clear and true.
Honor thy father and mother,
See good, and good shall be,
Lift up thine eyes to the mountains.
And all It's glory see.
Surely the JOY and gladness
VIII cause thee now to praise
The name of God, the Father,
And Christ the Son, always.
And know thy soul in darkness
Can never be again;
For out from the hush and stiffness
Floats the Fathers low amen.

THE KICK UNDER THE TABLE.

After man has been married awhile
And his wife has grown used to his manner
| and style,
| When she knows from the twinkle that
lights up his eye
The thoughts he is thinking, the where
fore and why,
And just what he II say, and just what
he'll do,
And is sure that he II make bad break ere
he's through.
She has one little trick that she'll work
when she's able.
She takes sly kick at him under the table.
He may fancy the story he's telling in true,
Or he's doing the thing which is proper TO
do,
He may fancy he's holding his own with
the rest,
The life of the party and right at his best.
When quickly he learns to his utter dis
may,
That he mustn't say what he's started
he is stopped at the place where he hoped
TO begin.
BY his wife, who has taken kick at his
skin.
II he picks the wrong fork for the salad,
he knows
That fact by the feel of his wife's slippercd
toes.
II he's started bit of unreliable news,
On the calf of his leg there is planted a
br,iise.
Oh, ] wonder sometimes what would
happen to me
II the wife were not seated just where she
could be
On guard every minute TO watch every
trick,
And keep me in line all the time with her
kick

A Man Named Webster.

An interesting news item of last woek
was to the effect that William Grant Web
ster Of New York had filed a petition with
the secretary of state Of Vermont, bearing
the signatures of $50 Vermontcrs, indors-
ing his candidacy for nomination for
political p ,rty at whose hands Mr.. William
Grant Webstcr--a name of most assuring
sound and appearance in print, it will be
admitted seek this high political
honor is not specified.
Now, while Mr.. William Grant Webster
may have a large and admiring following
in his home bailiwick, il is fact that to
the great body Of the country he is alb
solutely unknown. Yet he may 'rccly
and openly aspire TO nomination as a
candidate for President.
Such is the thorough democracy of our
system of popular government. Any
man who chooses may aspire to the high
est Office within the gift Of the people.
Of course there is no assurance his ambi-
tion will be gratiied, but he may give
publicity to his laudable ambition and
advertise the fact to tho world, the same
as those who may be backed by political
organizations of power and numbers.
1t is hoped, however, other unknown
citizens will not emulate the conspicuous
example of Mr. William Grant Webster.
Too many candidancies of this character
would be apt to become merely nuisance.

by the personality Of its authors; who are

was the dispersal Of tho National AS

attitude Of the German people at large
toward a characteristic exhibition Of
Prussianism.

by the intrigues of monarchists, supported

rebellious Baltic troops, it will assume the
yoke as meckly as the goose-steppers of
Berlin are said to have done. Il must be
admitted that an administration which
could be put to flight by force of 5000
men was either very weak or more or less
in sympathy with the reactionarics bent
upon it's overthrow. Whether there is TO
be a revival throughout the country Of the
Hohonzollern spirit or new tragedy
Of civil war, the situation is full Of menace
not only to Central Europe but to the
world at large.
Either of these developments would be
serious enough to engage the undivided
attention OF statesmen everywhere, and
yet they have been foreshadowed for
months past without much notice. Great
Britain, France and Italy have been too
intent upon their own projects of im-
perialism and revenge to heed similar
manifestations elsewhere. By unneces-
sarily embarrassing the Ebert Govern
ment in the matters of Scapa Flow and
persons charged with crime, they delib-
erately strengthened the hands of the
party that decreed the war and is crafty
