The main hope of averting a great na tional calamity Ilea In the adoption of universal military training and prep aration for service. If required. Rightly administered. It will do much also to Improve the physical health, the character and the standard of citizenship of our young men. Com blned with an understanding of our Institutions and the principle upon which they are founded, such train Ing will not lead to militarism In the Prussian sense, but to a true concep tion of organized liberty, which can exist only where there Is a will to de fend It." The proposed amendment requires the registration of all men between nineteen and thirty-one years of are. mot registered under the present draft law, with the proviso that none shall be called for active service before reaching twenty-one years of age.

ORIGINAL BALTIMORE NEWS OWNER DEAD Cr-parlng the "city" to a cancer which eats up the strength that ought to go to the whole body, the Rev. Dr. Charles Wood, In a strong sermon yesterday, at the Church of the Covenant, Conneatlcut avenue and N street northwest, declared that the overstimulation of desires, the abnormal excitation of appetites, the extravagant expenditure of money, the exhaustion of nervous energy. and the disintegration of character are a direct result of the artificial conditions of city life. "The city itself is an excess," said Dr. Wood. "It Is an excresence of the body politic It Is like a cancer that monopolizes the strength that ought to go to the whole system, and Is absorbed In a single cell. The ex cesses of a city may be divided Into five general classes. Desires Overstlmnlated. "First, the overstimulation of de sires. Multitudes who have been fairly well contented come to the city, see the splendid palaces called homes, and Imagine everybody living In them la a favorite of fortune be loved of the gods. They come ana see, and too often are conquered. Falllnr to get these things for them selves, they consider lite Itself not worth living. "Second Is the abnormal excitation of the appetites. In the country they eat because they are hungry and drink because they are thirsty. In the city the people who eat the most are often those who have done the least work and have the least reason for eating. A hungry man stands before a high-priced restaurant at midnight He has not eaten anythtnr since noon, and these crowds around the tables have probably eaten three or four meals since luncheon, and are only eating now because It Is con sidered the proper thing to do. All of the appetites are exposed to the same abnormal stimulus and excite ment Extravagant Spending. "Third Is the extravagant expendi ture of money. All think that they must keep the pace. They see and practice extravagance In all Its forms, and very easily come to think of It as essential. "Fourth Is the exhaustion of nerve energy. Nervous prostration cannot be localized In any organ of the body. The center of It Is In the city. A blacksmith In the country some time ago was said to have suffered from nervous prostration, but later on It was proven to be alcoholism. 'Tilth is the disintegration of character," concluded Dr. Wood. "The unconscious process may pro ceed with more or less rapidity, but Is Inevitable for all who are not con scious of their danger, and who do not determinedly fight against It" BALTIMORE, Dec 3. Edmond V Hermange, the last survivor of the first owners of the Baltimore News. Is dead here at the age of eighty years. He had been ill several months. James R.

' I i This Week Only-A Bree Tube This Offer on Pepsodent Ends Saturday Night Present This Coupon Today That Film onTeeth The Source of All Tooth Troubles ' ByWilHamM.RuthniirflvA.BA.JL All Statements Approved by High Dental Authorities PaPaty isssssBsssssB tMBTWt.iwiisiTsi s Why Teeth Discolor and Decay Why Germs Breed Around Them What you already know is this: Despite all your brushing, your teeth still discolor. Tartar forms on them, so they need frequent dental cleaning. And come teeth still decay. You know that what you do, and what you use, fail to really keep teeth clean. Your present methods don't protect you. So there must be something wrong. The trouble lies in a slimy, ever-present film which you feel with your tongue. That film is where the stains lodge, spoiling the teeth's whiteness. That film is what hardens into tartar. That film is what holds food particles. There they shortly ferment and form acid the cause of all tooth decay. And that film is where the germs breed the germs which cause countless troubles, including pyorrhea. Thus the chief object of teeth-cleaning is to keep rid of that film. And that is where your methods fail. Feel your teeth with your tongue, however often you brush them, and you find that film still there. Every discolorment proves it every evidence of tar tar. But between the teeth and in crevices is where it accumulates most. It is now known that alkali hardens it So soapy applications do more harm than good. And we can't combat the acids or destroy the germs while that film remains to protect them. That is why your method of teeth-cleaning fails. It removes only the loose debris. That is important, but water alone will do that. There is little need of a dentifrice unless it attacks that film. For, day and night, harmful things are being held by that film to the teeth. That is your situation unless your dentist has already told you of Pepsodent. Your teeth are not clean, not safe. They do not long stay white. And you rely for your protection on periodic dental cleaning. But now science has solved this film problem. And this is to ask that you prove it by a one-week's pleas ant test. PAT. Off m REG U S faastsMsMMHsasssVsaBBHMi The New-Day Dentifrice Present Free-Tube Coupon to Now There's a Way to End It To Keep Teeth Refllly Clean Three years ago a way was found to keep the teeth free from this film. Those three years have been spent' by dentists in proving the fact beyond question. There have been many false theories of teeth-cleaning. Many ways which seemed good have proved worthless in fact, are now known to be harmful. So we waited three years to let dental authorities prove that this method was right The film is albuminous matter. That fact suggested pepsin, which is albumin's digestant Pepsin is known to digest albumin, and' that means its dissolution. But Pepsin is inert until activated. And the activat ing agents are acid. The usual acid-hydrochloric is destructive to the teeth. So pepsin for long seemed barred. Then an add salt was found a neutralized acid which does not harm the teeth. In fact, the teeth themselves are largely formed from it. This acid salt will activate pepsin. It is this discovery which has solved the problem of that film. Pepsodent combines pepsin with this activating agent. The purpose is to dissolve the film so that brushing will remove it. Five governments already, by granting patents on this combination, have recognized its newness and efficiency. Pepsodent is now supplanting all former methods of teeth cleaning. It has been subjected to thousands of clinical, tests. Its results have been proved beyond question. It has won the -endorsement of authorities who are recognized all over America. And countless dentists in their practice have proved that it does what they seek. Now, on their advice, we are telling the facts to you. This is to urge you to make a one-week test The coupon below will entitle'you to Pepsodent for it See what it means to you. Note how clean your teeth feel, even after one appli cation.
