D. O, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1921 v of Bleeding Gums Medical science proves that unhealthy gums cause serious ailments. People suffering from Pyorrhea (a disease of the gums) often suffer from other ills, such as rheumatism, anae- mia, nervous disorders, or weakened vital organs. These ills have been traced in many cases to the Pyorrhea germs which : breed in pockets about the teeth. Four out of five people over forty have Pyorrhea. It begins with tender and bleeding gums. Then the gums recede, the teeth decay, loosen and fall out, or must be extracted to rid the system of the infecting Pyorrhea germs. ¥ Guard your health and your teeth. Keep Pyorrhea away. Visit your dentist often for teeth and gum inspection, and make daily use of Forhan’s For the Gums. Forhan’s For the Gums will prevent Pyorrhea—or check :ts progress—if used in time and used consistently. Ordinary dentifrices cannot do this. Forhan’s will keep the gums firm and healthy, the teeth white and clean. Brush Your Teeth With Forhan’s—How to Use It Use it twice daily, year in end gear out. Wet your brush in cold water, place a half-inch of the refreshing, healing paste on it, then brush your teeth up and down. Use a rolling motion to clean the crevices. Brush the grinding and back surfaces of the teeth. Massage i your gums with your Forhan-coated brush—gently at first until the gums harden, then more vigorously. If the gums are very tender. massage with the finger. instead of the brush. If gum shrinkage has already set in, use Forhan's according to directions, and consult a dentist immediately for special treatment. 35c and 60c. All druggists. Formula of R. J. Forkan, D. D. §.

Buying—Advance ! | | 1 BY EDSON C. SMITH. . Special Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, November 14.—The im- provement in retail trade is the out- standing feature of the business sit- uation, both in Boston and New Eng- land, at present. This increase in buying i# attributed largely to cooler weather, which has stimulated heavy purchases of clothing. Retall dis- -tribution of goods now has, reached the normal level of former years in most lines. Baslc industries have shown no marked change. Improve- ment continues to make itself evident, but it is slow. The textile mills and manufacturers of cheap shoes are busy. The paper industry shows decided betterment and the metal trades are showing more activity all the while. Ship- yards are securing some repair busi- ness, but practically no new construc- tion is being contracted for. Lumber .and steel are selling in larger quanti- tes, the demand being stimulated by repair Work which must be done be- fore winter sets in in earnest. Merchanty are showing an increas- ing disposition, to order ahead in many lines. There is a decided feel ing that prices in-many lines will in crease before spring and that order: laced now on the b: of present will result in a This development of the sit- uution {& the more marked because the policy of buying for immediate needs has been closely followed in: this section for many months.' 'Re-Employment Improves ! Despite Harvest Is Ended H DY LYNN C. SIMPSON. al Dispatch to The Star. N FRANCISCO, Névember 14.— The crop season of California is over. with the exception of the rice harvest 'and the clean-up of the last of the grapes and tomatoes. In spite of that fact, however, the unemployment |situation as a whole is showing im- .provement, although the influx of un- employed from the east and middle west continues. The continued warm weather all over the state has pre- ented consestion of jobless workers ‘in the centers of population. Widen- ing of the market for real estate and an increasing demand for high- igrade investment securities and a gradual but steady increase in build- ing operations have been features of the past week in this section. Heavy issues of publ bonds have been absorbed. Operations are being resumed in ithe gouthern California ofl fields and many of the former strikers are being re-employed. Threats of a re- inewal of the conflict between em- iployers and employes have ceased. In isome sections of the state building is ibooming, although in San Francisco | jand vicinity only moderate activity iprevails in the building trades. iDrought Hits Texas Farms; Water Hauled for Miles BY JAMES R.

In some sections of north Texas, in the very heart of the “black bel{," the fertile farming section. water is being hauled many miles both on the rail- road and over the country roads. In the wheat fields, the recently planted grain has all died and replanting will be a necessity as zoon as moist- ure comes. This situition has been reflected to some extent in the last week in the retail stores, and com- plaint {s general among merchants all over the state that the public is Inot buying. Mild weather accounts in part for I this. This has been the mildest autumn ever recorded in the history of this section, as well as the dryest.

NEW YORK, November 14.—The American plan for limitatfou of naval armament, with strong appeal to public sentiment, Was reflected in to- day’'s markets. It was a reminder of what used to happen in the days of the war boom, when there was a Sug- gedtion of negotiatfons for peace. The foreign exchanges, sterling especially, becdme strong. Cotton, pre-eminertly a peace market, re- cotered quite violently. Money rates softened, while there was Hasty unloading of the stocks of all companies the business of which would be hurt by a ten-year suspen- sion of maval construction. Only the Bethlehem Steel issues were noticeably weak at first, be- cause thes company's shipbullding plants depend so largely on govern- ment orders. But as the Bethlehem stocks continued to give way until the B shares were down over four points, the selling spread to the other asteel stocks, and finally the weak- ness in the steel group dragged down the rest of the market. There was, however, mno serious weakness in the general list. Prices had been going up almost continu- ously for the better part of a fort- night and some sort of a reaction was due. Otner stocks recorded 113 2 points rise. Sterling Highe: The advance iIn sterling exchange to within less than 5 cents in the pound of the highest of the year fitted in with the news dispatches of the day expressing confidence that the British government would accept the American proposals. Continental rates, including German marks, followed in the path of sterling. There was little else in the news of the day except that contributed from the National Capital. There was confirmation of last week’s reports of a decided improve- ment in the industries which make use of vegetable oils. and this was responsible for the strength early in the session in such stocks as Ameri- can Linseed, American Cotton Ojl nd National Lead. There were some indications of a let-up in the cager investment buyins Which had swept through the bond list and flowed over into the stock list last week and the week before. - Industrial Alcokol. Industrial alcohol had the melanchol distinction of making a new low recolfi for the year. The meeting at which the dividend will probably be taken up is scheduled for Thursday next. Representatives of the company re. rTused to discuse the Wall street rumor, Wwhich spread about naturally enough, that the dividend would be passed al together. If it is omitted the impres slon left upon the public mind will not be agreeable, for only a few weeks ago Industrial Alcohol headquarters were obviously anxfous to give as wide publicity as possible to the statement that the price of their product had re- covered from the low of 26 cents & gal- ‘::n:op:nuncxmtxu' and that the New Or- X . close o po-piant, closed for some time, was to ) = Finaneial Notes. urther gold shipments a from Europe are ‘expectod to e’ 15 flected soon in the exchange market.
