How Teeth Show! White or dingy-how conspicuous they are
 Remove the cloudy film
Remove the cloudy film

There is way to keep teeth winter, cleaner, safer. Millions now employ it. The glistening teeth you see every where now largely result from this method.
 This is to explain that method. To tell you why authorities advise it. Then to offer you ten-day test and urge that you accept it.
 The finn discolors
 Your teeth are coated with a viscous film. You can feel it with your tongue. It is ever present, ever-forrning. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays.
 The ordinary tooth paste does not end that film. The tooth brush, used in old ways, leaves much of it intact. So very few have escaped the damage which that film creates.
 That flm-coat absorbs stains, mal<- ing the teeth look dingy. Countless facial attractions are marred in that way. Combat that film for little while and see how your. teeth improve.

Many Swindling Schemes
Attempted Upon
Travellers.

PARIS, Dec. 24-Energetic meas
ures are being taken by the Paris
police to rid the capital OF the un-
savory few OF international criminals
who have recently shown a tend
ency to make this city their win
ter headquarters. While. with the
departure of the great body of sum-
mer tourists, the activities Of the
con men, bunco stecrers. and card
trIcksters, have somewhat lessened.
there is constant evidence that for
eign malefactors of more kinds than
one are at work.
A few days ago a young man who
professed' to be related to the late
Tsar was arrested in a fashionable
hotel on the charge of having swim
died tradespeople by inveiGling them
into one of the two rooms he had
engaged, securing jewels or what
not from them on the prereSt OF
showing them to his wife and dis
appearing into the other room to be
seen no more. Recently Geo=s. Rus

charged with burglario~./ entering
the rooms of Mr.. Katten OF San
Francisco, in a hotel in the Rue de
Rivoli.
Another form Of swindling, which
is indeed rife throughout Europe at
present. is reported from Cherbourg,
where among the second class pas
sengers in the Lapland was Nine.

lady on her way to join her husband

other papers proving irregular, an
inquiry showed that she had been
victimized by a set of information
al swindlers operating in Marseilles,
who had sold her an entirely forg-
ed set of papers while tricking her
out of her own.
A Swiss citizen, Alfred Duvoisin,
SIS years of age, is another who has
just been arrested in Paris. In his
case, however, the crime alleged
against him was committed in Cen
eva and he is being held for extra
dition. An Englishman, James Ber-

HIGH LABOR COSTS
CAUSE JAPANESE
Loss OF TRADE
Production in America
Now Cheaper Than
In Tokyo.

TOKYO, Dec. 24-The Increasing
slump in Japanese exports is caus-
ing much worry In business and
commercial circles.
The foreign trade in silks. cotton
goods and other important items OF
Japanese manufacture has fallen of
greatly and the business men say
the end is not yet in sight.
Cheap Labor Gone.
The reason Is that Japanese prices
are so high. and the reason Japan
ese prices are so high is that cheap
labor here has almost ceased to ex-
list.
In some lines. such as silk. arti-
fetal stimulation or maintenance of
prices by government pools. or by
pools backed by great financial
groups has been practised. How
ever. business men are wondering.
with considerable alarm. whether
this policy is wise, how much long
err II can last and what will hap
pen when ii ceases.
They face the fact that they are
losing trade while the Imitation is
maintained. but that they will lose
much money with defation.
The wave Of lower prices that
has set in throughout the rest of
the world has no touched Japan.
Living costs are higher here than
In any part of the world today. La
borers refuse to return to pre-war
scales and are securing still fur
Their increases in pay. Holders OF
merchandise bought at boom prices
refuse to stand the loss" Of re-
adjustment and hold out for a
profit on the high prices they paid.
The manufacturers. with undimin-
ished and often increased labor costs
cannot reduce, and frequently must
increase the prices he asks.
The result is that Japan is losing
world markets she gained when. as
a result of low labor cost, she
could undersell all competitors.
Like 10 striIS~.
Formerly japanese industry could
employ half a dozen coolies. where
an American factory would have
| one workman, and the wages OF the
elk would not equal that Of the one
American. Other factors being equal
Japan could and did undersell.
But now Japanese wages are in
| creased from three to ten times
the scale of a few years ago. Tho
great pulR OF Japanese la Dor is I'M
trained. Several of them are re-
quired to equal the production Of
a skilled foreign workman. So the
low cost labor advantage is lost
and Japan's labor overhead" is the
highest in the world.
It's easy enough to say reduce
wages" But Japanese workmen
have learned to strike and like IT.
A typical result of the situation Is
the experience of a Japanese, re-

BANKS OF BERLIN
CREATE SENSATION
BY CONSOLIDATING
Oldest in City Joins With
One of Youngest at
Critical Time.

BERLIN. Dec. 1.-Two great Ber-
lin banks have just united. They
have preferred not 20 make a real
fusion which is the usual thing In
Germany. The taxes, which in con-
sequece OF the reparation. have RE

have required a quarter OF a million
marks. In order to avoid this I'm

which according to the German law
cannot be booked as assets and
gradually cleared of. but must be
discharged on the spot and booked
as expenses the fusion has been
restricted to contract only. Both
banks will increase their capital

as well as the board being COM
posed Of the same men respectively
Causes Sensation.
The banks are the Bank fur
Handel und Industrie" and the Ma
tionalbank fur Deutschland" The
sensation caused by this transac-
ton is to be explained by the fact
that In this case the oldest Ger
man bank joins forces with a COM
paratively young firm IN such a
as " the greater
part OF the management to the lat
ter.
The Bank fur Handel and Indus
trie" was founded in Darmstadt, the
capital Of the former Grand Duchy

OF MiddIinx Type.
The "Nationalbank. fur Deutsch-
land. which will now conduct the
affairs of the syndicate, was only
founded in 1882, and for purely
speculative purposes. II has always
been looked upon as a bank of the
middling type until its board OF
directors quite recently had the
lucky idea Of co-optatine a small
private banker, Goldshmied, by
name. The said Goldshmied has. IN
the course Of q few years, devel-
oped into one of the first men of
finance in Germany. He is a man
OF ideas. and his brain continually
produces plans for Industrial conn
binations of every order.
Among the banks Of Germany, the
Berlin banks play a special part.
By the network of branches extend
ing all over the country. they have
managed to get hold OF nearly the
entire business Of the state. A lively
exchange OF effects takes place be-
tween them and the German trade.
1t is very interesting to COM
pare the cnoditions of banking in
Germany with the entirely different
conditions obtaining in the United
States. At the present moment
these banks dance merrily on the
paper waves of imitation. They are
literally flooded by money. The
eight principal Berlin banks now
have a capital OF about three and
half millards marks. eighty mil
lizards of strange money being de-
posted with them. They swim on
the waves of imitation. The price Of

 Equipment Concerr,

Determined to build their business upon the solid foundation of satis- fled patrons, F.. l.. Gielow, president and general manager of the Elec- trical Equipment Company of Arl- zona, has passed the word to all the branch managers of this organization to make it their personal duty to see that the service rendered by their branch is of the worth while kind.
 It is MT. Gielow's idea that the most valuable feature of their busi- ness to motorists. is the service ren- dered-the knowledge, ability and facilities to serve. If a service sta ton has these things and they are backed up by genuine desire to render service of the 100 per cent variety, the customer is bound to be satisfied and therefore friend and booster But the finest facilities on earth backed by half hearted, disin- terested efforts on the part of em- ployes. will prove disastrous, both to the company and their patrons.
 the finest stations and best facilities throughout the state. intends that their service shall be equally distinc- tive So the word has gone out to each branch accordingly For tunately. practically every branch station has a man who is an official or director in the company and il will be only natural that these men will give their business the close per sonal attention and conscientious ef- 1 fort that means success, that inter- 1 preted in the language of patrons
