FoR years, there has been
a great deal of confusion
regarding dentifrices. There
are dozens of tooth pastes on
the market - dozens of theo-
ries on what constitutes proper
oral hygiene.
E. r. Squibb & Sons decided
TO settle the matter once and
for all. A QUESTIONABLE was
sent to every practicing dentist
in the country. Almost unani-
mously, the answers bear out
the Squibb warning that you
must guard The Danger Line
to preserve healthy teeth and
gums. These dentists said that:
% acids are the most frequent cause
OF tooth decay and irritated gums.
Cd The most serious trouble occurs
at the place sohere teeth and gums
meet-hnoUn as The Danger Line.

Bully isn't that kind. He dearly loves

DRY ENFORCEMENT IS
PUT ON ITS OWN LEGS
Sweeping Orders Issued Divorc-
ing 1t From Bureau OF Inter-
nal Revenue After April 1

Prohibition enforcement will cease
to be a government "side issue" after
April l.
Sweeping orders were issued re-
Gently by Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon providing for absolute divorce
of prohibition from the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue and setting up in the
treasury of an independent dry bu-
reau.
The prohibition machine henceforth
must move along on its own steam.
Duties of the new prohibition COM
missioner will be routine, simply car
rying out of orders issued by
Andrews and Mellon.
Melons orders marked the start of
the supreme effort of the government
to dry up the country, equipped with
sufficient machinery, and fairly effec-
tive laws, the prohibition army, as
suming "now or never" attitude, ad-
mitted that if the national prohibition
act can't be enforced under present
conditions it probably never can be.
