By Cum-Dipping, every strand
in every cord is soaked in liquid
rubber, preventing friction-adding
extra strength and long mileage. BY
having two extra layers of Cum
Dipped cords placed between the
tread and cord body, it is practical
to use tread with higher, more
rugged shoulders and deeper
non-skid with fatter contour.
All this provides more rubber on
the road, giving longer wear, greater
traction and quicker stops. These
two extra construction features are
patented and used only i'm Firestone
Tires. Take a forward step in

COMPLETE LINES OF TRUCK TIRES
FOR EVERY TRUCKING SERVICE
At LOWEST PRICES GIVING LONG
MILEAGE AND GREATEST ECONOMY

FIRESTONE pioneered the
ship-by-truck movement in 1918,
and ever since has consistently led
in anticipating every requirement
in the design and construction of
truck and bus tires for every
transportation condition. To
accomplish this, Firestone has
consistently followed the
fundamental principle of its
founder and active head, Harvey s.
Firestone, "Always to find the way to
build tires better than anyone else"
While there are many reasons
why Firestone Tires are safer and
more economical, there are two
reasons that stand out above all
others. One is Cum-Dipping; and
the other is two extra layers of
Cum-Dipped cords under the tread.

DEVELOPMENT OF

THE records OF the practice OF
Il dentistry date back In the case
of the Egyptians 10 somewhere
about three thousand years before
the Christian era. Even In this early
period we have evidence that some
methods were In vogue for the pre-
veniion OF dental disease. For In
stance. the Ebers papyrL probably
compiled gradually from 5000 Il. c.
10 1900 Il. g. contains the following
prescription for strengthening the
teeth: Powder Of fint stone one

part-io be rubbed on the teeth"

HOSPITAL AUXILIARY NOTES

On Wednesday, April 10, in the
Nurses Home there will be an all
day meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary.
1t is earnestly desired that as many
members as can will either bring
their lunch or come prepared to buy
at the bake and spend the day SOW
ing. This is not only a pleasant way
to spend ones time, but most prof
liable to the hospital, for there is
always something to be mended and
many times new articles to be made.
At o'clock will be the regular
business meeting. At the March
meeting many new members we're
received and each member was uTg-
ed to bring at least two new MEM
bers for April. 1t is hoped that it is
not going to be necessary to ask for
members of the auxiliary. but that
the hospital is so appreciated that
women will consider II not only
their duty but will take real plea
sure in doing for those unfortunate
enough to be sick.
