ARE YOUR TEETH
BEGINNING TO GO?
One of the most common causes
jt decay which leads to early loss
of teeth, is an acid condition of
the mouth. This is known to
dentists as "acid mouth" and
usually exi3ts without being even
suspected until much damage has
been done. The acid gradually
dissolves the enamel, then decay
sets In.
If everyone, beginning In child
hood, were to use twice daiy a
I dentifrice specially made to com
* bat acid mouth, there is abso
lutely no donbt that loss of teeth
before fifty would be almost un
known.
Dentists have found milk of
magnesia the best thing to cor
rect acid mouth, and this ha3
now been successfully blended
into a tooth paste which, while
?delightful to use. still retains the
power of counteracting acid in
stantly.
Thif milk of magnesia tooth
paste (named Mag Lac), not only
cleanses and polishes the teeth?
it actually preserves them against
i the ravages of their principal
enemy, acid mouth. Many den
IstJ are recommending it to their
patienta Start using Mag Lac
tooth paste today. Get a tube

D. S. AND BRITISH
AGREEMENT VITAL,
LEWIS TELLS CLUB
??
Believes Success of Arms
Parley Hinges Upon
Chinese Question.
On the willingness of the United
Slates to rive as well as to takjfc
in International affairs depends the
success of the coming: arms con
ference. Willmott Lewis, Washing
ton correspondent of the London
Times, told the City Club's lunch
eon forum yesterday.
9peaking on "A British View of
the Arms Conference/' Mr. Lewis, a
veteran student of International af
fairs. asserted that although he felt
the temper of the nation and the
administration was against inter
national agreements, yet some
agreements must be made between
the British, Japanese and the United
States if any good is to come from
the conference.
"You have said you are ready, to
discuss limitation of armameats. but
you have said wisely that the prob
lems of the Pacific must' also be
settled, for until these problems
are settled there can be no arms
reduction. And the Pacific problem
simmers down to wtyat will be done
about China. And China means
your future market In China, for |
that Is, uf course, the real basis
of American concern no matter what
altruistic words it may be couched
In. The United States does <not want
to be debarred from that market.
"Everything is possible if Amer
ica and Britain stand together;
nothing is possible If they don't I
know such an accord can be over
played and misjudged by other na
tions, but it is vital to the common
good of the world today."
C. C. Calhoun, vice chairman of
the club's forum committee, pre
sided.

"Did I Ever Look Like That?"
VIM-O-GEN Yeast Vitamine Tablets
Fill Out the Hollows?Put on Firm
Healthy Flesh ? Banish Wrinkles
MANY a woman after
taking Vim-O-Gen
Yeast Vitamine Tablets
for a short time has looked
at her old photograph and
asked herself that ques
tion: "Did I ever Look
Like that?" Sometimes
the results are so amazing
that it is hard for her to
believe that she is the
same person. In the place of scrawny
angles she sees beautifully rounded curves of
solid, healthy flesh. That tired, nerve-racked
look about the eyfs has gcme and in its place
there is sparkle and magnetism. The undernourished tissues
now receive the proper amount of nutrients and the entire figure
and carnage reflect the vivacity of glowing health and womanly
vigor.
You can improve your appearance in the same manner. You
do not need t? be thin and underweight. You can have the good
? v ,. , heaI?. vitality and proper amount of flesh on your bones that always dis
tinguishes the beautiful woman.
And with this inCTeased vitality you will note that the skin becomes clear and glowing with
?T7TP!?eCV0nS 1?te P^P165' a?6- saHowness, etc., will disappear, firm well-rounded flesh
will take the place of wrinkles and sagged muscles.

Your mother
knows our Bond
SOMETIMES t^? image before her
eyes is just a trifle dull; sometimes
in the family chatter she misses a word
or two. But she knows about the Bond
from which Bond Bread gets its name.
And her taste and her touch are as
keen and as right as ever they were in
her life. By the aroma, the feel, and
the flavor, she knows what is good
bread?that our Bond on each Wrapper
speaks true when it guarantees that
we use naught but purest old-fashioned
ingredients.
Perhaps she is one of the tens of
thousands of mothers who made Bond
Bread?sending their own rich home
made loaves in the great competition
jout of which the Bond Bread formula
was born.
Her picture is always before us; the
Bond on the wrapper of every loaf is
our guarantee that Bond Bread's ma
terials will always be the very same
pure materials she used to employ.
Our Bond means that we must keep
faith with her?your mother.
Guaranteed
as pure
