To end the film

The object is to fight the film, which aims the teeth and causes most tooth troubles. Dental science has worked years to do that
 Film is that viscous coat you feel It clngs to teeth enters crevces and stays. The ordinary tooth paste does not combat it satisfactorily, so brush ing leaves much of it intact
 It is the hm-coat that discolors, not the teeth Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.
 Millions of germs breed in 1t. They, with tartar. are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Thus all these troubles have been constantly increasing, despite the tooth brush.

High Rents Argument
Against Rail Pay Cut

Chicago, May 6.-High rents,
which were described as dig
ging big holes in the pay OF
railroad employees and were said to
help make it impossible for many OF
the workers to make both ends meet
at present rates of pay were cited by
representatives of the big four"
railroad brotherhods before the rail-
road labor board today in replying
to the request of the roads for re-
duction of wages. They contended
employees pay should be increased
rather than decreased.

Brotherhood OF Railroad Trairnen,
presented rent figures from num-
ber of cities. In Omaha, Neb., he

and fuel which cost $3.50 in 1918
cost $l4 50 in 1920, he continued.

May Make New
Effort To Find
Missing Bonds
Letter From Convicted Mail
Robber to Mother Strength
ems Theory They Are
Not Destroyed.

"Ne are in a bad fix now, mother.
But every cloud has its silver lining,
and when | get out We'll be rich!'
- This sentence in letter from Fred
Pofferbarger, lr., now serving a SEN
tence in the Fort Leavenwortll fed
era1 penitentiary for completely in the
S5,500,000 Burlington mail train rob-
berry in Council Bluffs last Novem-
Der, strengthens the theory of fed
eral officials that bonds stolen in the
robbery have not been destroyed.
Young Poffenbarger and his COM
panions in the robbery all denied
knowledge of any cache of unre-
covered loot, believed to have been
hidden by them for use at the expira-
ton of their terms in prison. Keitl,
Collins said i'll his confession that he
had thrown a suitcase full of bonds
in the Missouri river.
Authorities dragged the river in an
attempt to recover this suitcase of
loot, but met with no success. Rep
resentatives of the Home Insurance
company, which protected most of the
missing bonds, say they have never
been convinced that the bonds were
destroyed.
Officials hint that an attempt may
be made to force Poffenbarger and
Collins to divulge the secret of the
hidden loot by prosecuting them
upon additional counts in the original
indictments and extending the period
of their sentences so far that they
may never obtain their freedom to
spend the concealed funds. The
grand jury is now in session at Des
Moines.
Acknowledged criminals. caught
since the mail robbery in many parts
of the country, have professed 'in-
side knowledge of the Bluffs crime
and have offered to divulge the loca-
ton of hidden bonds if leniency is
shown them. So many instances of
this character have occurred that
officials are losing faith in the cache
theory
