Dental science has now found the
ideal way to clean plates and remov-
able bridges. All you do Is place them
in q small glass Of water and add Q
little Polident powder. You can actu-
ally see the stains, tartar and foul
deposits dissolve right before your
eyes. And this Polident is absolutely
harmless. It's made by the famous
Wernet Laboratories and Is approved
by leading authorities.
In o few minutes your plate Is sweet

JEWRY AWAITING
SOLEMN HOLIDAY
Synagogues to Herald APP
prOach of New Year
Next Wednesday

On the evening Of Wednesday,
September is, synagogues and tenn
pies all over the world will be filled
with worshippers to herald the ap-
proach Of the Jewish New Year, or
Rosh Hashanah. To celebrate this
solemn holiday special services Will
be held for one day In Reform
Temples and in Orthodox Syna-
gogues for two days, 1t was an
nounced by the Tract Commission
Of the Central Conference Of Amer
lean Rabbis.
In olden days this festival mark
ed the beginning Of the agriculture
al and economic year In Palestine.
With the destruction Of the tenn
pie In Jerusalem and the dispersion
of the people, new customs were de-
yeloped in regard to worship. In
stead Of sacrifices offered on the
altar the holiday has come to
mean q time Of prayer and medi-
tation, Of self-crutiny, and OF peni-
tence. This Interpretation Of the
holiday comes from the rabbinical
tradition that the New Year COM
memorates the beginning Of Gre
alton. Based upon scriptural pas
sages, 1t has become the judgement
day Of the Jewish year-the day
upon which all people Of the world
pass In review before their Creator
for judgment.
The prayers Of the day are filled
with the message Of justice. The
sound Of the Shofar calls for re-
membrance Of Gods laws and ones
obligations to his fellow-men.
Rosh Hashanah Is day on which
family ties are strengthened and
friendships are renewed. Encom-
passing the ideas Of divine justice
and human responsibility the day
begins 1.-THE Ten Days Of Peni-
tence" which eliminate In Yom
Kippur or the Day Of Atonement.
During this period Jews are given
the opportunity to reflect on the
past year and to, repent the wrongs
done. II the repentance Is sim
cere, forgiveness Is attained on
Yom Kippur, the solemn festival Of
the day Of Atonement which closes
the penitential season.

F orner Local Mayor
Presidential Elector
William E. Thoms Placed on State Democratic Ticket;
Confidence Shown in Victory Next November

this morning were loud in their
predictions Of victory once more tive
months hence.
While the republicans are claim
ing that their ticket is a strong
one the democratic leaders Of Wa
terbury and vicinity pointed today
to the fact that the record Of EN-
Gent government under the Jeffer-
sonian party is a positive one and
certainly sure Of consideration at
the hands Of the states voters.
What the proposed republican adj
ministration will do and the prom
ises being made presents a negative
quantity for the electors to decide
upon.
AS in past years Waterbury was
given major recognition at the DEM
ocratic state convention. On the
other hand, the republican state
ticket failed to give serious consid-
Grafton to the g. o. p. in the Brass
City. Lieutenant-G Governor Hayes
and ex-Mayor Thoms, the latter a

dental elector, give promise Of Wa
terbury going strongly, once more,

Question:: What spacing should be

Answer: The plants should be set
from four to five feet apart in rows
six feet apart. Press the soil firmly
against the roots and cut back to
two or three buds. The canes should
be allowed to sprawl on the ground
during the first growing season, but
should be tied to stakes or trained

17-YEAR LOCUSTS TO APPEAR
THIS SPRING

The largest of the 17-year locust
broods is due to swarm over the
eastern United States this spring.
Millions of the winged insects will
fill the woods with their steady
droning during the latter part of
May and the first of June, said DR..
z. P. Metcalf, head of the State Col
lege entomology department.
In North Carolina they will appear
mostly in the mountain and Pied
mont counties, though the brood has
been recorded as far east as Wake
county.
Eggs of the brood which will
emerge this year were laid in the
summer of 1919 After Matching, the
grubs burrowed into the ground and
attached themselves to tree roots
from which they have been sucking
say ever since.
In afew weeks they will crawl up
on trees, shed their skins, and
change into adults with fully de-
veloped wings. The locust is a form
of July fly rather than a grasshop-
per, DR.. Metcalf stated.
Usually they do little damage; oc-
casionally they injure young or
chard trees which have been set out
on new ground. These trees may be
protected by covering them with
mosquito netting or to bacco cloth
until the 1ocusts disappear.
