" The Dread Pyorrhea Bégins * With Bleeding Gums Pyorrhea’s infecting germs cause many ills. Medical science has proven this. Diseased conditions, which not long ago doctors were unable to trace to a cause, are now known often to be the result of Pyorrhea germs that breed in pockets about the o teeth. Rheumatism, anaemia, nervous disorders and other diseases have been -traced- in many- cases-to this Pyorrhea infection. Don’t let Pyorrhea work its wicked will on gour body. Visit your dentist frequently for teeth and gum inspection. And watch your gums yourself. Pyorrhea, which afflicts four-out of five ple over forty, begins with tender and bleeding gums; tfi:: the gums recede; the teeth decay, lo and fall out, or must be extracted to rid the system of poisons generated at their base. Forhan's For the Gums will prevent Pyorrhea—or check its progress, if used in time and used consistently. Ordinary dentifrices cannot do this. Forhan's keeps the gums hard and healthy—the teeth white and clean. Start using it today. Brush Your Teeth With Forhan’s=How to Use It Use it twice astly, yoar in and yeor ont. Wet your brush in cold water, place a half-inch of the refreshing, healing paste on i, then brush your teeth up and down. Use a rolling motion to clean the crevices. Brush the grinding and back surfaces of the teeth. your gums with your Forhan-coated brush—gently at first until gums harden, then more vigorously.

EFFICIENCY RATING Non-Red Tape Activities Benefiting Disabled Vet- erans Announced. A comprehensive program of non- red-tape activities for the Veterans’ Bureau was announced yesterday by Col. Charles Forbes, director, whereby the following beneficlal features of after-the-war assistance for werld war fighters Is mapped out: Provision of compensatio; for every man who suffered injurles or contracted diseases while serving in the military or naval forces durin the war which may have rendere him 10 per cent or more disabled. Provision of the best talent for all such men needing medical or sur- &ical care. Conduct of vocatienal rehabilita- tion for men with vecational handi- caps of 10 per cent or more in gov- ernment training centers. Prompt handling of all claims for compensation, vocational _training and hoepitalisation through district and subdistrict offices, that have been established ghroughout the country. Plan Sure to Work. ‘This plan, Col. Forbes says, will be “carried through to completion just a8 surely as the sun shines. Long- distance red tape and communications ] have been eliminated.” Under the second provision the bu- reau will see to it that every man in need of hospitalization because of in- Jjuries recelved or diseases contraoted in line of duty during the world war 18 placed In a hospital under goxern- ment supervision as soon as it is phys- fcally possible. The maintenance of an effective “follow-up" system among convalescents and those discharged from the hospital as reaching the maximum_ improvement or as cured, in order that their best interests may be safeguarded, is another princlipal feature of the plan. The vocational rehabilitation pro- gram will In no way interfere with men engaged in professional studies in the university or who are making satisfactory progress in other schools in thelr studies or trades, Col. Forbes announced. 30,000 Claims Adjusted. Results of the ‘“clean-up” campaign launched by the bureau immediately after its organization showed that every corner of the country was reached by bureau representatives, ac- cording to Col. Forbes, and since the inauguration of the campalgn more than 82,000 disabled veterans have been interviewed and more than 35,000 claims have been flled by the clean-up squads. Of the total number of claims, 30,000 have been adjudicated by the special “clean-up” unit in the bureau and motices of settlement have been forwarded to claimants. Discontinuance of the use of objec- tionable contract hospitals is expected by bureau officials to prove one of the most favorable steps toward the men. In the future, the program stated, the government controlled or super- vised institutions will be the only places to which men will be sent. Establishment of technical training centers for men in vocational training classes, bringing them under the direct supervision of the bureau, in lieu of the placement training system in vogue at present, will be another item of fie program. Economy, Cel. Forbes states, will not be fostered at the expense of the disabled, and in any cases where former Army cantonments are utilized as tralning centers sufficlent altera- tions and improvements will be made to place the training centers on a par ‘Wwith the best technical schools of the country. "SYSTEM PLEASES UNION e Federal Employes Believe Admin- istration Has Taken Step in Right Direction. Belief that the administration has made a start in the right direction through the executive order pre- scribiwg the establishment of a uni- form system of efiiciency ratings for Ithe government service was ex- pressed by speakers at the annual No. 2 held at Pythian Temple. William J. Hendricks of the govern- ment printing office, installed as pres- ident, and Dr. J. Franklin Meyer of the bureau of standards, installed as first vice president, are optimistic that @om uniform efficiency ratings may follow readjustments long need- ed in government service. Others installed at the meeting wers Prof. George A. Hill, second Vice president; Mra. A. G. Guthridge, third vice president; F. M. Barnes, fourth vios president; J. P. McKeon, fifth vice presiden! secre- tary-f urer; ph J. K ocorder, and Harry J. MoGowan, President Hendricks stressed his “fifty-fifty” policy, previously emun- clated, asking that sovernment work- ers Jlfl fully as much to the govern- ment as they recelve, and asking for the establishment of the fullest re- ciprooal confildence between workers and their chiefs. Plans to build a cltBhouse for the unfon were considered. It is hoped that plans may be devised to secure the necessary funds shortly, a good start already having been made. —_— During the truce in Ireland the her- ring industry experienced a quick re- vival.

Almost as much as the entire cost of cutting the logs in the woods and sawing them into boards at the mills. Sawmill men have reduced their manufacturing costs to a minumum in order to stimulate the revival of building on a normal cost basis. Sawmill men have no control over freight rates or the other costs of distribution of lumber. They speak authoritatively only of the cost of lumber at their mills, Lumber Prices Down To Rock Bottom AWMILL. men have reduced the price of lumber at their mills more than one-half. Prices of some low-grade items are lower than be- fore the War. More than 100,000 men are out of work in the lumber industry because sawmills can’t find market for their output at a price sufficient to cover the cost of production. ‘This is in the face of a shortage of not less than 1,500,000 homes, according to Government estimates. ] & . Build of Wood — and Build Now o [ Freight Costs More Than Lumber RE than 30,000 sawmills compete for the lumber busi- ness of the nation. ‘This competition normally keeps mill prices down because 20,000 sawmills could supply the demand. As long as the public has to pay more for the transportation of a car~ load of 2x4’s than it pays for the lum- ber itself at the sawmill, the benefit of low prices at the sawmills will not be fully shared by the consumer. o o NATIONAL LUMBER MANUFACTURERS ; ASSOCIATION Harris Trust Building Chicago ¥
