Of that conclusion.
Lester works with only one dunn
my, and he gives that "cnap" a real
personality. Lester sticks to no rou-
tine. He is alive, mentally, every
second he is on the stage.
He permits the dummy to poke
fun at himself, the orchestra and
even the other actors. This makes
his material seem fresh. His tele-
phone bit is a triumph. Not to be
missed even in hot weather.

three men, whom the law has put there Tor that
purpose.
We say to them:
Gentlemen, we need schoolhouse. Our
children don't have the things that are abso-
lutely necessary for their comfort and health.
The people of Indianapolis know the children
need the schoolhouse and they are willing to
build it, They have the money and they are
willing to spend it for that purpose. No one
else in the State is concerned.
But the law has placed you gentlemen in
authority. it is for you to say whether we
shall spend our own money to give our own
children proper school facilities We must
bow to your will. s"
That is exactly the sort of thing that is
happening in this year of grace, 1925, in the
free State of Indiana
G lOME one wants to operate a bus line be-
u tween indianapolis and Greensburg He
has the BUSES and the drivers and he is willing
to operate the lire. But he is not allowed to do
it. He must go to the public service commits
sion and ask those five men sitting in the
Statehouse whether he may carry passengers
between Indianapolis and Greensburg, provid-
ing he pays for the use of the roads through
taxes made and provided
And the public service commission tells
him he cannot operate this bus line, because
the members Of the commission, none of whom
ever operated a bus line, have decided he can +
make profit operating the line They tell him
how he can and how he not spend his own
money
One of these days it may be impossible to
erect drug store across the street from an
other drug store without permission of the
State 1t is just as reasonable as the bus reg
ulation.
IT N Indiana nobody may carry concealed
IL weapons-except horse theft detectives
and citizens generally. Any one may become
horse thief detective with full authority to
smell breaths, stop petting parties and deplore
the prevalence of banditry. Horse thief detec-
tlves carry concealed weapons
Any citizen may carry concealed weapon
on recommendation of any two other citizens.
Three prospective bank bandits may obtain the
implements of their trade merely by signing
one another s applications for permits to carry
concealed weapons. Then all additional that
would be necessary would be the usual "hiph
powered black automobile"

The truth about Pyorrhea

SOME people live constantly within the
shadow of fear Beautiful women fear
the loss of their beauty Healthy men
fear loss of strength. Parents fear for
the welfare of their children.
But fear may be unfounded or greatly
exaggerated. Take for example the many
stories spread today regarding Pyorrhea.
You read that the majority of people
have Pyorrhea; that Pyorrhea is inev-
liable with old age. Is it. therefore, any
wonder that people are afraid of Pyor-
rhea2 What is the truth about this dread
disease?
Your gums, where they join the teeth,
thin out to a delicate edge. If you look
closely, you can see tiny V-shaped crew
ices formed by this joining of your teeth
and gums. You will find these crevices
on the outside of your teeth. in between
your teeth and in back of your teeth
They form The Danger Line.
Evening star., 1925-06-07
What you can do to protect
yourself against Pyorrhea

Great care is necessary to keep this
thin, delicate edge of your gums safe
from injury A tooth-brush that is too
stiff. dentifrice containing gritty abra-
sives, powerful astringents or strong
antiseptics will irritate this delicate edge
of your gums. Then the gums recede
from your teeth; the V-shaped crevices
widen and collect food and germs.
Trouble is impending.
The food and germs which so easily
collect in these crevices along The
Danger Line form acids which cause
Acid Decay, gum irritation and often
Pyorrhea These acids must be neu-
tralized-safely. effectively.
Remember this-that Pyorrhea cannot
occur SO long as the fine, thin edge of
gum tissue at The Danger Line remains
intact. clean and free from Infection
Squibb's Dental Cream, made with
Squibb's Milk of Magnesia, provides a
sure, safe means for protecting the teeth
and gums at The Danger Line. Milk of
Magnesia has long been recognized by
physicians and dentists everywhere as
the safest as we'll as the most effective
product known for neutralizing the acids
which attack both teeth and gums at The
Danger Line.
Squibb's Dental Cream protects the
teeth from Acid Decay, and at the same
time keeps them clean and attractive 1t
keeps the gum edges healthy by neutral
izlng the acids which otherwise would
attack them.
Don't fear Pyorrhea; guard against it
by taking proper care of your teeth and
gums. Every member of the family
should use Squibb's Dental Cream at
least twice daily. 1t is safe for all At
druggists everywhere.
