New Liquid Denifriee
Connof Inivre Teeth
Confoins No Abrosives

Today millions Of people are unknow-
ingly causing serious damage TO their
teeth--by regular brushing with the
harmful abrasives or securing materi-
ais contained in the most widely-sold
dentifrices.
Gradually. as months 90 by, these
abrasives cut cavities into the soft part
of teeth along the gum line exposed by
shrinking gums. where there is no hard
enamel TO protect them. ,
In fact. among people who brush their
teeth regularly. a very large percentage
of all cavities along the gum line that
require filling are probably the result OF
this injury. This was shown by elm

MIcHTTEsT of all Michigan's resources
was once the virgin timber that covered
the state like cloak. Settlers in Southern
Michigan cut the hardwood to clear their
farms. And to the north, the lumberjacks
turned the vast pine woods into lumber
for building the nations cities.
Today, under wise methods Of refor.
estation by State and National agencies,
the woods are growing up again. About
20,0O0,000 acres-over half Michigsn's
land area - are wooded. By scientific
cutting, the forests Of the state produce
more than 40O,OOO,0OO board feet of
lumber a year, besides hrewood, pulp
wood for paper, tanbark, veneers and
other products.
Legend has it that when the mythical
Paul Bunyan was numbering Michigan,
his shout could be heard from Menominee
to Saginaw if the wind was right. Modern
lumbermen and forest rangers don't have
such voices. But by telephone they are
enabled to keep in touch with woods oper,
atoms, market their products, and con.
troll forest fires, far more efficiently than
the old.timers ever could.

of your teeth. II isn't soap. yet multi

The difference between the
number OF tanks Englands needs

tank program is forcing a de-
cision whether the administra-

for defense or shall shift pro-
duction to an offensive-or in
vasion-basis.
Thus far the war department
has operated on the theory that
we need plan only on preventing
Hitler from bombing our cities
or setting foot on our soil. But

Beaverbrook left the OPM

behind all these, tanks. After
the lease-lend program was for

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Observation-Disclosures, as
they are now called, should
somehow get together.
Outside the general idea that
we have an ill-defined disinclin-
alton to actively engage in bat
ties, the which We all admit,
there are conflicting opinions as
to why we should or again as to
why we should not engage in
any physical participation in the
present war.
Young Mr.. Lindberg. lucky
Indy" who apparently knows
nothing whatever OF economics
or OF administration or of
statecraft or OF government,
thinks we should cease concern
ing ourselves about the war in
Europe because Germany has
gone so far in developing the
devilish devices OF destructive
warfare that the Nazis would
easily reach us and destroy us
and we could not stop them.
Other Observation-Disclosures. in
other groups. tell US that we are
so well equipped and manned
that there is no need whatever
to fear any possible Nazi in
vasion.
Now, one or the other OF these
conflicting opinions is utterly
unsound. There Is no doubt
whatever about the Nazi desire
and intent, as already declared,
to subjugate the world, includ-
ing the United States, IL posi-
Bile. Enters here the thought is
it possible?
1t might be we'll to remember
that in the Revolutionary war
period Great Britain wished us
TO refrain from setting up a
separate government Of our
own. We felt otherwise and we
went 10 war. Britain had no
particular difficulty, even in
those days OF most primitive
transportation methods. in send
ing troops TO this side OF the
Atlantic, and they very nearly
squelehed our desires.
Again. in 1912, the same thing
happened.
In the late nineties. Spain had
no difficulties in sending forces
over TO this side of the world.
True enough that in each of
these instances we beat them
off-at very heavy cost. But.
what comparison can there be
between the feeble efforts OF
demoralized Spain, impoverished
as 1t was. and the present
crushing. murderous power OF
the Nazi war machine?
AS matter OF fact II is about
time that We awoke from the
pipe dream of sweet security
that our non-interventionist
are dreaming over.

OF all the crosses on which

all the idols which men worship
this modern philosopher finds
most sins of intemperance can
be laid at the door of hard work.
This usually is for some selfish
purpose and when we fail TO
reach the objective we begin to
worry, and worry is the short
route to a multitude of ills.
Worry, says the writer, and
there Is plenty Of evidence to
support the theory, affects
the digestion, causes high
blood pressure, increases the
tension on the heart. and
breaks down the nervous sys-

over things that are impor-

and costly intemperance of
small annoyances.'
