Quick Way to Whiten
Discolored Teeth

While the cleansing of the teeth
seems fairly well assured by regular
use of the tooth brush, this can by no
means be depended upon to maintain
the Wh1teness and lustre of the enamel.
This is only too well appreciated by
thousands Of particular men and
women who, in spite of the liberal
use of various tooth powders, pastes
and liquids. seem unable to remove
the tinge Of yellow or gray from the
front Of their teeth, or black or
brownish fringes about the edges.
1t will be welcome news to all such
that every stain and discoloration can
be completely and quickly removed by
the use Of '+Once-a-Week Tooth
Polish" the discovery of a well-known
dentist. If used regularly, the dis
agreeable tints will not reappear, and
the teeth will always have that spot
less milky Wilderness and sparkling
beauty so much admired but so seldom
seen. It's effectiveness is all the more
remarkable because it is so perfectly
harmless. Instead of scratching or
eating into the enamel or iniuring the
gums, it helps keep teeth, gums and
mouth in a healthy state. Used by the
little ones it will do much to prevent
children's ailments. Druggists sell
Once-a-Week Tooth Polish in conven-
lent packages with simple directions.

IN the northern Pacific division as the result Of
an investigation in the shipbuilding activity.
Another $32500O is under scrutiny in Ohio.
During the war, the military establishment
dealt vigorously and often harshly with privates
who transgressed against some military rule. In
vestigation of the court martial activity showed
that privates sentenced to serve long terms
in the federal prison for the theft of little food
or small piece of clothing. Transgressions that
did not involve theft from the government but
we're violations of discipline were severely pun
ished.
The theft of piece of equipment by a soldier
is not bit more reprehensible, perhaps less so,
than the outright steal of thousands and millions
of dollars by civilians engaged in government
work. If there was fraud and graft in war con-
tracts, the guilty ones should be punished as
harshly as were the soldiers who were guilty Of
minor attractions of the military code. Justice
demands fair play.
The ends of justice will not be served if a con-
tractor or federal official padded payroll de-
livered inferior goods or overcharged with the
purpose of defrauding the government, and is
able to escape the penalty for his crime. There
is no difference between his case and that of the
soldier who is langushing in prison because he
stole food or clothing.
The American people will applaud the efforts
Of the department of justice if it succeeds in I'M
covering dishonest agents of the government and
sees that they are punished.
