Don't take chances with that Smile !
As soon as you see a warning tinge of "pink" om your tooth brush, sitit your dentist,”
Nothing serious may be implied, but he is the one to decide. He may tell you it is "simply that your gums are sensitive because to-day's soft foods do not supply them with exercise". All the treatment you may need is "the helpful stimulation of Ipana Tooth Paste and gum massage".
Brush your teeth with ipana every morning and evening; then massage the gums vigorously with Ipana on the fingertip. This induces whiter, more lustrous teeth firmer, bealthier gums.

HIROHITO INTERESTED U.S. War Games
IN CHRISTIANITY
Tokyo, January 2.
The New Year brought the ravalation that Em- peror Hirohito is increasingly intarosted in the study of Christianity.
It was reported today that the Emperor recently listened with great interest to a private court lecture by Toraji Tsukamoto, a prominent Japanese Christian worker.
་
The Emperor's heir, Crown Prince Akihito, has an American Quaker tutor, and Hirohito last year exchangest signed portraits with Pope Pius. The latter gave rise ta speculation In Catholic circles that there might be a possibility of converting the Japanese ruler to Catholicism.-
Japanese court cireles hitherto have remained strictly mum on auch subjects.
Tsukamoto widely known here as the favourite disciple of the late Kanzo Unchoura, who พร an early pioneer of Christ- innity in
LA Japan. He
also known as an advocate of a Jus panese Christian sect which has no churches of its own and which seeks to propagate Christianity among Japanese without the ald of foreign missionaries.
