By fighting film

The results come by fighting
film on teeth - that viscous film
you feel. Under old methods,
much of that film resists the tooth
brush, cings and stays.
Soon the film discolors, then
forms dingy coats, so white teeth
lose their beauty.
Most tooth troubles are also due
TO film. 1t holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed

ABOUT LAME DUCKS"

An editorial writer very correctly points out that people arc oyerworkng the lame duck appelation. It has become fashionable refer all those who have been defeated for office lame ducks" and in a manner that would indicate they have passed their time of usefulness.
 If there is odium attached to being defeated for public office it is odium that has been experienced by very many of the public of the country. Many students of history believe that Washington would have retired from office lame duck had he been candidate for third term. Both of the Adamses did retire from the Presidency as lame ddtks, as did Van Buren, Benjamin Harrison and Taft Jeferson defaeted for the Presidentcy but Tame duck" that he he came back without limp ing and was President for eight years and practically dominated the country for and "a half after his retirement. Jackson defeated the first time he ran for the Presidency and repeated Jefferson S performance William Henry Harrison was de- feated for the Presidency before he was elected by one or the largest majorities given to Presi- dent. Webster, Cass Blaine and Bryan were lame ducks who aftcrward served Secretaries of State Clay was made lame by many defeats but was never greater CT more influential than just before his death Cleveland retired from the Presidency once as lame duck but back for the greatest oi his victories. Roosevelt finally passed from the scenes as lame duck and Lincoln and Bryan had beth been defeated for the Senate before they became Presidential candidates. President Harding was de- feated for the Governorship of Ohio and afterward was chosen Senator and President in turn
 If we take those who have occupied scarce dinner place than the Presidency in the public eye the record includes of successful lame ducks Governor Cox retired from the Governorshp "lame duck and was aferward twice elected to that office, dividing honors with Hayes aferward Presi dent as the only men to serve three terms as Governor of Ohio. Uncle Joe Cannon was twice q lame duck and finally voluntarily retired from what would have been life job.
 After all is said and done there is no disrraco in being lame duck and the record shows that many ducks refuse to stay lame
