Why teeth look dingy

Your teeth are coated with a viscous film. You can feel 1t with your tongue. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. It aims and may ruin teeth.

perform tasks for something greater than itself" Mrs. Powell twice em- phasized.
 Her address was really masterful. from the fact that not only did she take up the beginning of the race from its incipiency, but explained that it has progressed under great teachers and leaders which have ire quently inearnated in human form, and under the plans of a great in- visible race builder which has brought on from time to tinfe fires, and floods, and catastrophes to sepa- rate peoples until they could be made into distinct races"
 The famous lecturer then setforth, step by step, how even in the last 50 years great improvements for purity and cleanliness have been attained; working conditions bettered. Sud denly she exclaimed:
 "And, think of itl It was only a short time ago that peresons used to go to an insane asylum for an even ings' entertainment at the expense of those poor unfortunates. They thought it funny"
 Future peoples, she said, would consume a "purer and more humane diet" The eating of meat has coars- ened the body.
 Compliments America
 Then the theosophist paid a great compliment to America; told how much more advanced in cleanliness of food we are than the old country; remarked how the world everywhere has provided or admits the necessity of far more sanitary conditions for mill and factory workers; how we have opened free schools, recognizing that each child has right to an edu- cation.
 She deplored. however, that in the great progress of the world. there has been developed some selfishness and careIessness, and the fact that many persons, in the mad struggle | for great wealth or fame, have pushed the weaker to the wall. This is being corrected, however, as years go on with work of various organ ized movements for altruism and or ganized charities.
