Don't you stand there and

He shook his head again, stub

told him at a shout. She
stamped her foot on the cement
of the driveway.
Carrie came out upon the back

Lily knew she was listening.

laughed as they rushed through
the cool morning air that was

Why did you ask me II

he told her. And I wanted to

WINNING smiles are not
w wholly a matter of luck.
Or dazzling white teeth are not
possessed only by the few. Both
come from a new way of cleans
ing teeth that brings results
which will amaze you.
With correct care you can
give teeth dazzling whiteness,
and your gums the healthy coral
tint you envy.
Run your tongue across your
teeth, and you will feel a film,
viscous coat that covers them.
That film is an enemy to your
teeth - and your gums. You
must remove it.
1t clings to teeth, gets into
crevices and stays. 1t absorbs
discolorations and gives your
teeth that "off-color" look.
Germs by the millions breed
in it and lay your teeth open to
decay. And they, with tartar, are
the chief cause of pyorrhea and
gum disorders.
Ordinary brushing fails in
successfully combating film.

THE UGLY DUCKLING

A mother duck was sitting
on her nest by the water.
She sat for a long, long time.
At last the little ducks
came out of their shells.
There was only one big egg left.
"Why does this egg not hatch"
asked Mother Duck.
Il have sat and sat,
but I will sit one day more"
