year were outlined at yesterdays

for the president, to whose platitudes
the assemblage objected. Mr.. Tiller
stated that meetings Of the board OF
govarnors will be arranged whenever
members need a night out:
thereafter, he said. notices OF
the board meetings Will be sent to

mail. will certainly come across the
official club notice.
"A prize will be given to the per-
son supplying the best list /of ex-
cuses for staying at the club nights,
and the facts will be kept from his
wife. Club members will have free
access to the list, which must be
bright and original.

Silence signs in the reading room
should be busted off after each joint

Tooth troubles have been constantly

years studied to combat that film.
Now we know how. The methods

for them.
One ingredient is pepsin. Another
multiplies the starch digestant in the
saliva to digest starch deposits that
cling. Each application also multiplies
the alkalinity of the saliva-to neutral
ize the acids which cause tooth decay.
Two factors directly attack the film.
One keeps the teeth so highly polished
that film cannot easily adhere.
Day by day we fight the film and all
its i'll effects. You see the results in
whittier teeth. You feel them in cleaner
teeth. But the great results are such
protection as teeth never had before.
You owe yourself knowledge of
these facts. Old ways of brushing
have proved sadly inadequate. Nearly
everybody at some time suffers troubles
caused by film.
Now science knows how to combat
film, and in ten days you can know.
Never again will you trust tho old
ways when you know the new.

Remove the film.coat

You brush teeth now, but you leave
much of the film. A viscous film clings
to the teeth, enters crevices and stays.
The ordinary tooth paste does not end
it. So teeth too often discolor and de-
cay.
Dentists now know that the reason
lies in film. That causes most tooth
troubles. And, until one ends it, brush
ing fails to save the teeth.
It 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.
