INTERESTING
FACTS ABOUT
U. S. ARMY
Boys and Girls Eager to
Get Data for Big
Prize Contest

There are two dates at least tina
every school boy and girl in thu
whole of this great country of ours
knows perfectly well.
One is George Washington
Birthday, which is February %. The
Other is Uncle Sans National Prize
Essay Contest Day, which is just
two days earlier, February 20.
| You learned the first date in youl
history. You learned the second date
from your own teacher, your school
principal, your home newspaper, Oh
perhaps from Uncle Sans recruiting
officer who has been sending letters
and booklets about this wonderful
contest to school children in every
nook and corner of your district. And
so by this time you know all about
it and have probably been digging up
facts about The Army so that you
will be properly prepared to write one
of the winning essays in your school
On the subject "What are the Bene-
fits of an Enlistmnt in the United
States Army"
Did you ever stop to think of the
difference between the Army George
Washington commanded in those
long ago days, and The Army that
Uncle Sans generals command to-
day? Did you happen to think of this
difference while you were looking up
facts about The Army in connection
with the contest you will take part,
in on Feb. 20?
In George Washington's time there
wasn't even 4 telephone or tele-
graph over which the generals could
send orders to their soldiers. But to-
day orders can be sent hundreds Of
miles to troops in the firing lines IN
a few seconds and even when the
enemy destroys the wires, it is still
possible to dispatch the orders by US
ing a dozen other means of transmits
sion.
1t is Just because Uncle Sam wants
every school boy and girl in America
to know what wonderful new army
has come into existence that he is
asking you all to take part in his
essay contest.
What would Uncle Sans dough-
bows have done in France without
aeroplanes? They would have been
licked, wouldn't they?
Without aeroplanes, how would 1t
be possible to look down on the
enemy and see what he is doing?
What troops he is bringing into the
battle? Or what trenches he is dig
ging? Oh what cannon he has hid
den in the woods, and clumps OF
trees, and behind old houses?
The Air Service teaches its SOL
diers many useful trades and before
thew have been in the service many
weeks they know how as much about
an aeroplane as schoolboy knows
about his tops and marbles If a
young fellow likes mechanical things
he is especially likely to make good IN
this branch of the Army. But even II
he doesn't know much about engines
and motors and such things, Uncle
Sam is glad to teach him, so that he
soon becomes q valuable man.

You must fight film

That viscous coat you feel on teeth Is
film. 1t clings to teeth, enters crevices
and stays. The tooth brush does not end
it used in ordinary ways. So, in the
months between your dental cleanings, it
may do ceaseless damage.
1t more than dims teeth-it destroys
them. Most tooth troubles are now traced
to film. And, despite the tooth brush,
those tooth troubles have been constantly
increasing. 81.
1t is the film-coat that discolors, not the
teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. 1t
holds food substance which ferments and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They
with tartar. are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. And that is alarmingly common

One needs no scientific knowledge to
realize Pepsodent effects. The results are
quick and apparent. Every application re-
peats the benefits it brings.
One ingredient is pepsin. Another null
tiplies the starch digestant in the saliva,
to digest starch deposits that cling. The
alkalinity of the saliva is multiplied also,
to neutralize the acids which cause tooth
decay.
Two factors directly attack the film.
One OF them keeps the teeth so highly pol
ished that film cannot easily adhere.
The film-coats are day-by-day fought
as they never were before.

steadfastly refused to give any odds on
today's game. 1t was impossible to get
any accurate line on just how much
was wagered in Wall street following
yesterdays game, but it was estimated
by qualified authorities that the total
ran well up into five figures. One com
missioner remarked: 1T is beginning
to seem more like real world series

tight as IL was during the first two
games, but Immediately after Brooklyn
won game Dodger money began to
show in wads."
The odds along Broadway last night
were slightly different from those
quoted in Wall street during the late
afternoon. The prevailing price on
Broadway was II TO 10 against Brook
lyn and 8 to 10 against Cleveland. with
even money quoted on today's game.
