Free war insurance would be a

proved by the Senate, 10 provide
free insurance protection up to
$4,000 for damage resulting { ON

committee substituted instead an
ether bill whereby the property
owner would ray a small premium
for such protection.

BY Esther Van Wagner Tufty

The so-called "congressmen,s
pension" bill is not quite what the
public thinks Il is-fortunately.

he'll say-probably with cuss
words something like this:

money is needed for war purposes.
That it'll cost 80 million a year
Why should only congressman

man In Congress-531-will get
a pension whether he thinks II is

Nevertheless, there s considerable
wondering on Capitol Hill II she
isn't right in her prediction that
the men who have the present war
20 fight will refuse 70 tolerate a
subsequent boom, crash and de-
preston period such as followed
the last conflict.
Her forecast is that, upon peace's
return they're going 10 insist or

that the government viii have to
see that it's proyided--or else, so
10 speak.
Supposing that, despite all warn
ings, we do have a postwar boom,
crash and depression, like the pre-
vious series Of them, II isn't at all
clear what the government will be
able to co toward counteracting
'em. New Dealers, 10 be sure,
maintain that their social and eco
nonlic measures get US out Of our
preceding slump. There are others,
though, who contend that our
1920's and early 1e30's hard times
simply wore of in the ordinary
course Of nature, without the New
Deals remedies having had much
to do with the improvement.

Importance of Toothbrush

The toothbrush is more impor-
tant than the tooth powder, and
the most important part Of the
toothbrush is that it should be
small-small enough TO get every
place in the mouth. The real point
in proper toothbrushing is a regu-
lar order. You should 80 down the

starting in one side of the upper
jaw, and coming clear around in
front, and then going to the back
until you have reached your start
ing point; then same with the
lower jaw.
The bristles Of the brush should
be placed against the teeth so as
to enter all the crevices where food
may stay and decompose, and il
should also be placed against the
tooth-gum margin with a firm
pressure so that the bristles 60

should be jiggled with a slight

SoFtening Gums

Dental cavities and decay on the
surface Of the tooth are an easy
thing to fix. but the great danger
to most adult mouths is retraction
Of the gum, softening Of the gum,
and beginning of pyhorrea and this
can be improved only by rigorous
and methodical toothbrushing as
described above.
Use Of the toothbrush: the use
of two brushes, one in the morn
ing, and one in the evening will
permit each TO dry thoroughly be-
fore being used again, and will
prolong the life of each brush. Do
not use hot water on a brush;
clean with full force of cold water
on the brush. forcing out imbedded
particles. Allow to dry in clean
open air, preferably in sunlight.
When a brush is new, and weekly
thereafter. cover wetted bristles
heavily with salt, leaving on over
night. A brush should be discarded
as soon as it becomes soft or
matted.
