Il Defense at Last
In order to check pyorrhea the germs which
cause it must be destroyed. Until recently
twas almost impossible to do this because all
the known antiseptics Of sufficient germicidal
power to destroy germs were too poisonous
for personal use or for use as a mouth wash.
On account of its extraordinary germicidal
power and non.poisonous, non.caustic prop
critics Zonite can be taken into the mouth in
sufficient strength to destroy the disease
germs with which it comes in contact. Zonite
tests more than twice as powerful as pure
carbolic acid. Think of putting carbolic acid

ANY woman may we'll be seized
"A with anxiety at the first indica-
ton that dreaded pyorrhea has her
marked for its victim.
The normal American makes al.
lowances for many little personal
shortcomings. But bad teeth are I'm.
forgivable and inexcusable. Better
never smile, than show mouth dis
figured by disease or missing teeth
and made unpleasant by bad breath.
Nothing more definitely binders and
handicaps a persons personality.
Nothing more affects general health.
Health andBeautyk1ayBeWrecked
The most insidious enemy of the teeth
is pyorrhea. 1t is caused by disease
germs. You can't get rid of it unless
you kill the germs. Frequent use of
the tooth brush sometimes spreads
the germs and thus increases rather
than hinders its development.
The earliest symptoms are tender
gums that bleed easily. A tinge of red
on the tooth brush or in the saliva Is
a danger signal. 1t is warning that
must be needed or health and beauty
may ultimately be wrecked. If the
disease is not checked, the gums will
recede until the unsightly roots of the
teeth are exposed to view. 1t will be
too late to do anything then. The
gums can never be replaced.
Serious Complications
Pyorrhca is caused by germs which lodge be-
tween the gums and the teeth or are forced
there by the tooth brush. These germs form
uspockets which not only eat away the gums
and allow the teeth to loosen and fall out but
discharge quantities of greenish yellow pus.

Must Have Search Warrants

Declaring that the action of
police officers in searching traVe-
lers on the highways without
first obtaining a search warrant
is in violation of the constitution
the Commissioner handed
down an opinion in the court of
appeals reversing the finding Of
the Harlan circuit court in the
conviction of David Helton on a
charge of transporting liquor
Commissioner Turner held that
as mo search of the person or
personal baggage or personal be-
longings or seizure of articles
found on such persons is author
lied by law without a search
warrant that the arrest of Hell
ton was without warrant of law.
He held Helton was arrested
purely on suspicion and that if
the finding of the lower court
was upheld that the freedom
from seizure guaranteed by the
constitution would be nullifed.
Helton's arrest on the public
highway without service of a
warrant, violated section ten of
the constitution, the court held,
basing the Opini9n on two previ-
Gus decisions of the court of ap-
peals. The decision of the court
was reversed OF the ground Of

BOOK TWO
THE BLOOD ATONEMENT
CHAPTER XII

Men own the day, but the night is
ours" is an old saying among the
wild folk that inhabit the forests of
Trails End. The saying originated
long and long ago when the world was
quite young. Before that time, likely
enough, the beasts owned both the
day and the night, and you can imag-
inc them denying mans superiority
just as long as possible.
OF course the saying is ridiculous If
applied to cities or perhaps even to
the level, cleared lands of the Middle
West. The reason is simply that the
wild life is practically gone from
these places. But few places remain
in America, where the reign of the
wild creatures, during the night hours
at least, is still supreme. And Trails

For reasons unknown to him, the pine
had come often into his dreams. He
had thought that its limbs rubbed to-

words themselves he had hardly
caught the meaning. There was some
high message in them, however; and
the dream had left him with vague
curiosity, an unexPlainable desire to
see the forest monarch in the day
light.
He found TO his delight that the
tree was even more impressive in the

at night. He was constantly awed

Big Road Building Program Ahead,

Fifteen or twenty years Of

program which the country has

improved highways which will
constitute the Federalaid high

or greater mileage of State and
local roads. When the great Job
is done, the transportation facul-
tiles of the country will exceed
those of any other nation, past
or present, in the world. The
highways of the ancient Romans.
whose fame has come down
through the centuries, will pale

CHAPTER X

When the second hand of the watch
in his pocket had made one more cir
cult, both Bruce and Linda found
themselves upon their feet. The ten
sion had broken at last. Her emotion
had been curbed too long. 1t broke
from her in a flood.
She seized his hands, and he started
at their touch. Don't you under
stand?' she cried. "You-yOu-you
are Folger's son. You are the boy
that crept Out-under this very tree
to find him dead. All my life Elmira
and have prayed for you to come
And what are you going to dO?"
Her face was drawn in the white
light of the moon. For an instant he
seemed dazed.
"Do?" he repeated 81 don't know
what I'm going to do"
You don't :" she cried, in infinite
scOrn. "Are you just clay? Aren't
you a man? Haven't you got arms to
strike with and eyes to see along a
rife barrel? Are you a coward-and
a weakling; one of your mothers
blood, to run away? Haven't you any
thing to avenge? l thought you were
a mountain man-that all your years
in cities couldn't take that quality
away from you! Haven't you any
answer"
He looked up, a strange light grow
ing on his face. you mean-kiIl-
ing?"
what else? To kill-never to stop
kilIing-One after another, until they
are gone! Till Simon Turner and the
whole Turner clan have paid the debts
they owe"
Bruce recoiled as if from a blow.
Turner? Did you say Turner?" he
asked hoarsely.
"Yes. That's the clans name. 1
thought you knew"
Bruce understood now his unpro-
vOked attack on the little boy when
he had been taken from the orphan
age on trial. The boy had been named
Turner, and the name had been enough
to recall a great and terrible hatred
that he had learned in earliest baby
hood. The name now recalled il again /;
the truth stood clear at last. 1t was
the key to all the mystery of his life;
it stirred him more than all of Linda's
words. In an instant all the tragedy
of his babyhOod was recalled-the
huShed talk between his parents, the
Oaths, the flames in their eyes, and
finally the body he had found lying
so still beneath the pines 1t was
always the Turner'S, the dread name
that had filled his baby days with
. horror. He hadn't understood then.
1t had been blind hatred-hatred with
out understanding or self-analysis.
AS she watched, his mountain blood
mounted to the ascendency. A strange
transformation came over him. The
gentleness that he had acquired in his
years of city life began to fall away
from him. The mountains were claim
Ing him again.
His voice was cold and hard when
he spoke.
"Then you and l are no relation
whatever"
''NOne"
But we fight the same fight now
yes. Until we both win-or both
die"
Before he could speak again, a
strange answer came out of the dark
ness. Not two of you," croaking
old Tolee told him. 1t rose, ishrill and
cracked, from the shadows beyond
the fire. They turned. and the moon
