TEETH
3 Shades in 3 Days This Way

A startling new discovery now makes
it easily possible for anyone to have
cleaning white teeth and gums that
look firm and healthy free from
dread disease.
IT'S A REVOLUTIONARY TECH
NIQUE THAT ACTUALLY RE-
MOVES YELLOW AND STAIN.
CLEANS TEETH RIGHT DOWN TO
THE BEAUTIFUL, NAKED WHITE
ENAMEL WITHOUT INJURY. IT
STRENGTHENS GUMS.
You can brush teeth and gums the
ordinary way a dozen times day. /.
still teeth will discolor and decay,
gums will break down =. so long as
YOU neglect the millions of germs
that swarm inso the mouth with every
breath and cause most tooth and gum
troubles. Ordinary toothpastes are
helpless against them.
This remarkable new technique
called the Kolynos Dry-Brush Tech
nique-destroys the millions of germs
that spread destruction. AS a result,
teeth soon look winter and feel cleaner
than ever before.

nails which are well kept otherwise,
many will be glad to know of a remedy.
The following simple one will help to
cure this trouble in many cases: Make
a paste of equal parts Of turpentine and
myrrh and apply 1t before retiring,
Remove the paste next morning with
the aid of little olive OIL Manicure
and polish the nails as usual.

The very moment Kolynos enters
the mouth it multiplies rs times and
becomes a refreshing FOAM that
permits the use of dry brush which
makes Kolynos 10 times more effec-
tive.
This FOAM gets into every pit, fis-
sure and crevice. Cleans out ferment-
ing food particles. Kills dangerous
germs, 100 million in the first Is Sec
onds. Stimulates gums. Gently erases
tartar. Purifies the mouth. And cleans
teeth as they should be cleaned--to

Prof. C. w. w. Schantz Addresses
Club on Life of Washington"
and Gives Illuminating History

The Smyrna Rotary Club at
their weekly dinner meeting at the
Wayside Inn observed Washing
tons birthday by having fellow
Rotarian, Professor C. w. w.
Schantz, superintendent of the
Smyrna Public School, deliver an
address on "The Life of George
Washington. Professor Schantz
very appropriately eulogized Wash
ington as a private citizen, one
phase of his life that is very sell
dom presented to a public audience
His family relationship was of
English origin, and his first rela-
tive to come to America was John
Washington who settled here in
1857. George Washington was or
phaned at the age of II and while
not privileged all the advantages
of the higher education from the
institutions, of learning at that
i time, he acquired much knowledge
from books, self explanatory.
While Washington was not adapt
ed to public speaking. his short
addresses were to the point and
thoroughly understood. AS bus
mess man he was very successful
and acquired large acreage sur
rounding Mt Vernon, the ances-
trail home of the Washingtons. AS
commander-in-chi of the Contin-
entail Army he met Mrs. Martha
Custis and later married her, who,
after Washington was made Presi-
dent of the States, she as South
ern woman of considerable wealth,
her polished manerisms and social
standing became a valuable asset
in the position of first lady of the
land Although Washington, an
extensive slave owner, voiced his
opinion that slavery should not ex-
ist, and hoped legislation would be
enacted for its abolishment Mr.
Schantz pictured Washington as a
man among men, one who liked the
associations of men, yet after
ward he became their leader and is
now termed as the Father Of His
Country" Past President William
z. Matthews, presided in the alb
sence of Walter w Hynson, presi-
dent, and Rev. Essell r. Thomas
ice-president, who at the time OF
the meeting We're. both i'll. The
club voted Mr. Schantz a rising
vote of thanks for his most inter
esting address. Ladies night will
be observed by the club on Thurs
day evening, March 18th, at which
time DIR. Paul Ellsworth, President
of Washington College. Chester

SMYRNA HAS LIVELY CONTEST
WITH ANNUAL TOWN ELECTION
TURNER, ENNIS AND STEVEN
SON WIN DECISIVE VICTORY
Edward t. Porter, Secretary of
Council for Years, Defeated
HID. Boyer Defeats R.H. Denney

The annual Town Election came
off Monday afternoon and was the
most spirited Smyrna has had in
years. The Progressive Ticket"
was put across in a decisive VIC
tory over the Citizens Ticket"
G. Reynolds Stevenson, president
of Smyrna Town Council, S. Cread-
ick Ennis and George w. Turner,
new members, were elected to
Council for two years over Edward
T. Porter, and Matthew " Ford, in
majorities ranging from 155 to
more than 200. Henry D.Boyer, the
present Alderman and Collector,
overwhelmingly defeated Robert
H. Denney, his opponent by 229
majority for a term of one year.
Walter w. Hynson was elected
Town Treasurer and William j.
Holland, Town Assessor, were
elected for one year each without
opposition. Regret is felt over the
defeat of Edward T. Porter for re
election to Council. He had been
the efficient secretary of Council
for years and one Of the ablest
Councilmen Smyrna has ever had.
The polls were open from two to
five. w. H. Kenworthey and his
lieutenants were on the job early
to re-elect G. Reynolds Stevenson

left no stone unturned Clarence

active canvass for votes. Nothing
like it in activity has been seen at
a Town Election in years. Citi-
zens who had never voted were
in line at the polls. A total
Of 626 votes were cast, the largest
poll probably ever cast at munic-
ipal contest in Smyrna. This is all
the more remarkable when it is
considered that at previous town
elections less than so or 75 votes
were cast, and in some instances
much less than this. The big vote

the Commerce Committee who
blocked the earlier bill All plans
for the new tunnels would be sub
ject to the approval of the War
Department, as well as tolls to be
charged. The State Governments
of New Jersey and Delaware would
be authorized to acquire the tun-
nels at a later date. Under the
bill, George Casey, of Wilmington
and State Senator Clifford Powell
of New Jersey, were named heads
of the New Jersey and Delaware
Bridge Corporation to construct
the tunnel. Houston predicted
speedy approval of the measure by
Congress so that actual construc-
tion might be begun within year
Members of Congress from South

esteemed citizens of Smyrna. It
was in May, 1923, that I became
the acting pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Smyrna.
Mr.. Lloyd was at that time an
officer in the organization. His ad-
vice and wise council was recog-
nized and valued by all, especial
ly by the young minister of the
congregation. My association with
the Lloyd family was always a
benediction. Kindly permit me to
express my desire to join the citi-
zens of Smyrna in bereaving the
