I bout my ear to listen well
To the tale of n pink s*>a shell;
It told of the ocean great and wide.
Os strife and trouble on the other side.
Os a man-of war that went down at sea.
Os soldiers who died for you and me.
It told me of a hun.il In the deep,
And bodies put awny for eternal sleep,
Os flowers that tossed upon the ware
In honor of the long-departed brave.
Os women and children white with fright

"When I had almost reached my

to myself.
"It was so late that I did not dare

a paying brand of neutrality.
They have established offices in

hensive plans to stage another
mammoth bazaar In the name of
charity for the benellt of the war
sufferer* who owe allegiance to
Great Britain and her allies.
The armngemuJit uiazie between
the German organizations and the
partnership of Stone and Talbot
was that the promoters were to re
ceive 26 per cent of the gate re
ceipts and 25 per cent of the
amount received from the sale of
i concessions. Much of tbe money
realized by the Germans, however,
was through contributions and i
sale of articles donated to the ba
zaar.
It is presumed that a similar ar
rangement has been made between
the allied societies and Stone and
Talbot. They have promoted such
enterprises in several large cities In
the middle west; It Is their bust

Are Your Teeth Sound and
(’lean?
1
Many a man, who would be in
sulted and ready to fight if you told
him he was dirty, goes through life
complacent and unashamed, with
dirty teeth.
Many a man. who would grow sick
with horror and disgust if he saw
the flesh of his hand or face gradu
ally decaying, witnesses without
concern the dally disintegration of
his teeth.
Why should this be? Why do
some men bathe, shave, have their
hair cut and wear decent clothes,
and yet neglect their teeth? Why
do they not realize that decayed
teeth are not only unpleasant to
look at, creative of bad breath and
a grea» handicap in mastication, but
a serious menace to health?
Teeth, unless kept clean, are
breeding places for germs. Teeth
rot because food is allowed to stay
between them, creating a destruc
tive acid which eats Its way through
the enamel and starts a cavity.
Germs, which are always present in
the mouth, do the rest.
The possibilities of this condition.
If not corrected hy proper care and
dentistry, are manifold. The whole
tooth may he destroyed, the infec
tion gradually extending to other
teeth. It may even go so far as to
pass Into the Jaws, causing poison
ing of the bone. This is a serious
condition, and very apt to involve
much pain and some surgery.
A good digestion is often ruined
by bad teeth. As research and the
art of diagnosis along this line pro
gress, all sorts of distressing and
debilitating conditions are being
traced to bad teeth.
Igist but not least, there is the
ever-present danger of toothache,
which everyone will agree is no
fun!
To care for a normally healthy
set of teeth is not difficult. It does
not Involve much time or trouble
or expense
First —Clean them morning and
night with a brush and tooth-pow
der. Prurh up and down, not across
the teeth. Do not brush too hard
Brush not only to clean, but to re
move thcjftughly the focal which
has accumulated between them. Do
