Film on Teeth
Is What Wrecks Them

Dental science has found that most tooth
troubles are due to Shiny film. 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
dentifrice cannot dissolve it. So its damage
is unceasing.

That film is what discolors not the teeth.
It is the basis Of tartar. It holds food SUBJ

holds the acid in contact with the teeth to

tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Also Of

New Orleans, July 22.-The cotton market was easy today from the open ing and it developed decided weakness toward the end, closing at the bottom at losses of 126 to 140 points.
 October traded down to 32.62, ano December to 31.22. Better weather In the belt and more favorable forecast caused the early selling, after which the decline was kept going and reports of serious financial troubles in China, but the weakest period of the day was due to rumors that before the day was out very bearish condition figures would be given out by private crop reporting bureau.
 The market got little support from any quarter at any time and confident buyers of few sessions ago liquidated on a large scale. As prices fell, shorts sold more confidently. The strongest selling of the session came from an element that figures on bearish gov ernment returns on crop condition to July 25.
 Bureau day is the main feature of the moment and since there is no es- caping the conclusion that the figures must be higher than those of last month and last year, we do not see how any determined attempts to put the market higher can be made until the condition figures are out of the way.-Shepard & Gluck.

FINAL ACTION ON
 CHURCH STATUS Independent Church to Vote on Affiliation-Dr. Jacobs
 to Occupy Pulpit

Final action will be taken Sunday by the congregation of the Independent Presbyterian church which will deter mine their future status with reference to their continued independency or their utilization with some organized church body. For the past two Sundays ballots have been taken in order to ascertain the wishes of the largest majority.
 It is very probable that the invitation of the Presbyterian church, U. s. A.. will be accepted. The votes for the past two Sundays have shown a tendency in that direction. Dr. Edmonds will be on hand Sunday to conduct the final ballot.
 Dr. William States Jacobs of Hous- ton, Tex, will occupy the pulpit of the Independent church Sunday. He has been engaged to supply for Dr. Edmonds during the summer months and will ar rive in Birmingham this week. Dr. Ja- cobs has built up in Houston the largest Presbyterian church in the south.
 Last year when he was in Birmingham as a delegate to the national Kiwanis gathering he won many friends and ad- mirers, both by his personality and gifted oratory. Dr. Edmonds stated that Birmingham was fortunate in having such big man as her guest during the summer months. pr. Jacobs will be Emanu-EI and Sunday night at the Lyric theatre.
 His subjects have been announced fox Sunday as follows: Morning service, "The Five Great Themes of Religion" evening service, "F'ive Great Problems of Society that Only Christianity Can Solve

 The Blue Book proposal (Section ? is as follows.
 "All day labor and monthly men snail be advanced $f per day, monthly men based on the number of days they are required to work in a month";
 The adoption of the $l.o0 flat rule would most profitably affect the lower class men, as against the higher class under plan of horizontal increase, and hardly seems equable. However, the per centage plan has been applied by the coal commission for this district.
 The United States coal commission plainly says in it's report:

New York, July 22.-Reports or a serious condition in the China dry goods situation together with reports that more Fall River mills would shut down tonight for the balance or the week was enough to break prices sharply today. It was also rumored that the national ginners' report will be bearish, which, added to the feeling Of pessimism regarding trade conditions in this country, only added to the bear ish feeling and offset any weather news, which was unfavorable from the Atlantic states with many complaints of weevil.

Corona,N July 22.-(SpeciaL )-The mines of the Corona Coal Company are not closed down entirely, as the output is averaging about 6009 tons perweek, far below normal but sufficient to keep the fires aglow. Many of the miners here are on the strike which has been on for several weeks. They are resting from labor, awaiting a turn of affairs and persistent in their demands for a recog- hilton of the union. They also claim to interpret the award of the United States coal commission of $1 flat increase per day to day men for the central competi- tive field, as applying to Alabama, where as the company insists that the award carries 20 per cent increase over pre- war prices for this field.
 It was the privilege of the writer to con- fer with representative men of the strik- ing force at this place, and hear cx- ,pressions from them as to their side or sahe existing trouble. A committee, with Miner Joseph Thomas as chairman and chief spokesman, willingly expressed to me their alleged cause for the strike. Mir. Thomas is a native white man, as are most of the leaders of the strike. He is an intelligent and industrious miner. who. by his energy and industry, has arisen from position at $2 per day ten years ago to a most remunerative position as a miner. The books of the com pany show that Thomas received $S,6sl .5' for his efforts as a miner during the year 1e19
 AS TO CONTROVERSY
 Asked as to the differences and contro- versy between the men and the com pany, Mir Thomas said:
 Not only do we demand recognition o. the United Mine Workers Union, but a payment of s1 flat advance on the scale for day men, as we understand was the award of the coal commission. Both these demands are rejected by the con- pany and we propose to fight it out to fir ish."
 Asked if the relations existing between Superintendent Savage and the men had had not always been pleasant, he said "So far as I know, there is no feeling against the local superintendent here
 MT. Thomas expresses the opinion that the miners of this place will win their fight, saying that they have the ability and determination to do so.
 The difference between the S.oo per day demand by the miners and the 20 per cent increase rendered by the company under the ruling of the coal commission for this district is as follows:
