Dental science has found that most rtooth
troubles are due to s1imy ftn. You can feel
it with your tongue.
That film clings to the teeth. It gets be-
tween the teeth, enters crevices and stays.
The tooth brush doesn't end it The ordinary
dentifrjce cannot dissolve it. So its damage

In an interview with Postmastes

formed that there will be d change
throughout the country in all post
Offices. All county seats were former

under the new system all this, wor1,

In Montana, Helena was designated as
the city in which the central Account

This means that all the stamps,

furnished through the Plentywood to
the surrounding postoffices in Sheri-

be furnished through the Helena Of

When asked what effect this would
have on the Plentywootl postoffice

probably result in the cutting down

much clerical work being handled by

BURTNESS: FALSELY
ATTACKS LIBRARY
ALLEGED BOOKS ON FREE
LOVE" AND ANARCHY" PLAC-
ED THERE BY THE OLD GANG,

The tables were completely turned
week followi ing an attack by 0. B.
cy of the. travelling library when it
called "socialist," "bolshevist," IAN
by Mr.. Burtness had been placed in
tration in 1911 and 1912.
Following the attack Of Mr.. Burt
ness, in which he charged that the
"socialist" administration was poison
ing the minds of the young with
"Red" and Free Love" literature, a
committee was elected to investigate
these charges.
Burtness Seeks Sensation
The committee has already made
sufficient investigation to find that
the charges preferred by Burtness
were without foundation, and were
the result Of his desire to create a
sensation for the kept press. It de-
veloped before the committee that the
works of Ellen Key, the famous
Swedish authoress whose works are
on every library shelf of consequence,
were purchased as far back as 1911.
One book "Love and Ethics," was re-
Gently acquired by the library to COM
plete the series which the former. IL
brary commission had purchased.
Talking in the Nonpartisan League
caucus, Rev. John Flint, pastor of the
Norwegian Lutheran church, declared
that the three of Ellen Keys books in
his own library. II would not i'm
pugn Mr.. Burtness' motives in de-
nouncing these books" Rev. Flint
said, "but l would say that any man
who objects to standard works Of this
quality being in reference library
is an impudent ignoramus."
The investigating committee also
learned that these books and others
of AN economic nature are not circu~
Slated promiscuously through the trav-
cling library, but are kept as refer
ence books in the reference library,
and are sent out only on SPECIFIC re-
quests from adults. This is in refuta-
tion to the charges Burtness made
from the floor of the house.
Makes poor choice
An amusing incident occurred in the
committees investigation.
Among the list Of books which Burt

"Bolshevism." When the committee
looked inside the covers Of the book
they found that it was a vigorous at
tack on the doctrines Of the Bolshe-
Wiki. Another book which Burtness
objected to as being "socialistic, i'm
moral and bolshevistic" was Howe's
"High Cost Of Living.
A look into the records and books
on the shelves of the state house
proves by Mr.. Burtness' standard,
that the Burke and Hanna admins
tration have been rankly socialistic
and immoral. On the shelves were
found four other books of Ellen Key
of the same series as that from which
Mr.. Burtness quoted extensively.
These were purchased before the
farmers league was in existence.
The book "Love and Ethics" is the
fifth volume written by Ellen Key, Of
which fourth other volumes, "Love
Child" "The Young Generation"
and "Romances of Motherhood" are
to be found in the library.
Nearly everyone Of these books
was in the library before the board
took control, and all but very few
before Nonpartisans were even in
control of the state.

Nor are these books the only ones
that were in the library, put there by
the former administrations.

Cord Tires cost more than Fab
