Green Bug Danger Slight

Oklahoma is not likely to sustain

of the green bug, according to c. E.

Agricultural and Mechanical college.

Use of checking the green bug infes-

have developed, to amount to any

The ordinary tooth paste does not effee.
lively combat it The tooth brush, therefore,

Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look

why teeth become cloudy and diseolo.ed.

Film holds food substance which ferments
