CHEWING GUM,

The teeth and jaws and salivaryI
glands and all of the mechanism
of the mouth were made for useful
purpose.
We have so many tasks for the
mouth the mastication is not so pop
ular as it formerly was. Nothing
we have ever done as an energy
waster equals the chewing gum
habit.
Everywhere there are hundreds
and thousands and millions of jaws
with chronic motion, that ranges
from the gentle tremble of an al
most impressive face to the enthusiast
tic Squash" of the mug" that
doesn't care for tooth substance,
ENERGY, time and saliva wasted. And
what of the tantalized stomach?
Should not the Society for the
prevention of the Broken Promises
to the stomach step in and do some
thing?
Chewing all day with nothing to
swallow; The jaws get all of the
exercise they need at meal time and
in conversation. Why not use the
chewing gum energy in some useful
manner?
Wherever you go-stores, railway,
stations, churches, theaters, Offices,
Won find pum St,lck arOllnd tO wait
the return of it's former owners;
rugs, carpets and floors are ruined
with gum.
When you do 60 to the dentist; or,
to anyone else for that matter, leave
your gum at home.
All that chewing gum does is
to make good teeth bad and bad
teeth worse.

Commissioner Moore. English chalk
soils bring much greater prices be-

FRENCH DENIAL OF
FLOGG|NG RECEIVED
Letter From Commander Received In
Albany Calls Report Lie
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU
THE AGE-HERALD


American people need not be
alarmed over reports that the French
soldiers whipped German women
during the occupation of Reckling-
hansen. for the reported whippngs
never happened. This is on the word
OF General Degoutte, commanding the
French soldiers.
copy of the generals denial has
been received here from A. L. Phene
OF Toronto, Canada. After reading
of reported use of whips by the
French on the women of Reckling-
the dispatch to General Degoutee.
Miss Marian Mccall, who has several
friends in the Twin cities and who
is an employe of Mr.. Phene, fora
warded the reply here, and vouches
for the correction of the translation
from the original letter of French
commander.
ut Is false" writes General De-
goutee, that we attacked Reckling-
hausch. 1t Is untrue that our troops
or our tanks opened fire on the
people. 1t Is a shameful lie that
French officers ever used whips on
German women or on anyone else
General Degoutee goes on to say
that on the evening of February Z
hostile demonstration was dis
persed by the soldiers, supported by
tanks, but declared the troops did
not fire. On the same day the
theatre opened, in defiance of orders,
and soldiers were sent to evacuate
the building.
las a matter of fact" the general
continues, there were no killed or
wounded amongst the population of
ReckHnghausen that day. During the
night of February z and s, however,
many shots were fired from street
corners against our patrols. The
sentry at the II. G. of the 41th divis-
lon and another sentry were fired on
and one was mortally wounded from
a revolver shot. Our compatriots
living abroad need not be disturbed
by such hostile accounts. In the
Ruhr, as everywhere else, the
French soldier remains true to him
