If your dental plate is as flesh-pink and the teeth as clean and natural-fooking as when "your dentist first fitted them -- then you DON'T need 'Steradent.' If they are dis- coloured, stained and unnatural-looking, you DO. For the sake of health, dentures should be free from germ-breeding stains. For the sake of your appearance they should be clean and natural-looking.
10,000 Dentists Recommand 'Steradent' The sole purpose of "Steradent' is to clean and purify dentures-and it does the job as nothing else has ever done before, Over 10,000 dentists recommend it as the finest preparation of its kind ever produced.
Simply put your plates in a glass of warm water with a little Steradent' powder and stir well. You don't need to brush them. Stains vanish. Even the blackest tobacco stains disappear after a few treatments. Every trace of film is gone. Your dentures are once more flesh-pink with clean, natural- looking teeth. They are sweet-smelling and pleasant-tasting; they feel silky-smooth, cool and comfortable. "* Steradent? will do all and more than you promise” writes a grateful user. And a leading Dentist says, *** Steradent? is the best denture cleaner and stain remover I have ever tried,
Every one with artificial teeth should use *Steradent.' Satisfaction is guaranteed or money is refunded. Ask your Dentist about it. Remember-it is absolutely harmless. Agents: IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES (CHINA) LIMITED, HONGKONG.

(From Our Staff Representative)
Canton, To-day.
For two days Canton and Shameen have been with- out electricity, owing to the bombing of the new power plant at Saichuen.
Whereas in Shameen the only effect of this has been the inconvenience of doing without fans and lights, a more serious prospect confronts the hospitals in Canton.
I have paid several visits to hos- pitals in and around the bombed areas, and in each I have found a few doctors, and a gallant band. of Chinese nurses, doing their duty under extreme difficulties,

Prostrate with "Terrible Pains"
It was advice from her mother that led this woman to take Kruschen Salts for her backache, and before she had finished the first bottle she was feeling better. This is the letter she writes:
"About this time last year I had ter- rible pains in my back and was pros- trate for three weeks. I could not even rise in bed. I tried several well-known remedies, but to no avail. Then I wrote to my mother telling her of my trou- ble. She wrote to me by return of post. urging me to try Kruschen Salts. I immediately, bought a bottle and I can fifth dose I could sit up.
