By fighting film The results come by fighting im on teeth—that viscous film you feel Under old methods, much of that film resists the tooth brush, clings and stays. Soon the film discolors, then forms dingy coats, so white teeth lose their beauty. Most tooth troubles are also due to film. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it, And they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor- rhea, Few people, in old-way brushing, escape the film- caused troubles. two effective film combatants. One acts to disintegrate the film, one to remove it without harmful scours ing. Able authorities proved these methods by many careful tests, Then a new-type foots pare was created to apply them ly.

I thought cuckoo-birds only lived in clocks,’ “No, ma’am!” answered the bird. “We live in Dixie Land! What are clocks?” “Don't you know?!’ exclaimed Nancy looking at Nick as much as to say, “Well, of all the uneducated people we have ever met on our travels, this one is the worst.” “Why it is something to tell time by?" she said. “That's queer!’ declared the bird. “T always tell time by the sun.

I know all about st for grandma had one,” Suddenly a new voice spoke up from another branch of the mag- nolia tree, “There's nothing strange about all that! For a pretend cuckoo to live in a pretend House. Why, even the real cuckoos do that! Or, rather, they pretend that other people's houses are theirs and they make themselyes right at home,” There was 9 flash of bright red among tho branches and- Mister Kentucky Cardinal flew down with- in gossiping distance, “I never say it myself, but {t's common talk in Dixio Land that cuckoos never build nesta for themselves, but lay their eggs in tho nests of other birds when the mothers are away, When the mother bird comes back and sits upon her eggs again, she never notices that she has had a visitor end that there is a new ogg in her nest, So she goes on sitting and keeping her eggs warm, and when they hatch out, one of them 1s a cuckoo,” “Are you sure about that, Mister Cardinal?’ asked Missez Cuckoo, fluttering her wings nervously, “sure!
