"Teeth are clouded by a film --- that viscous film you feel. Under old ways of, brushing much of it clings and stays. It soon discolors and forms dingy coats to mar the beauty of the teeth.
Film also holds food substance which ferments and forme acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Film-caused troubles, under..old ways, became almost universal,
Modern science has found ways to fight film. One disintegrates. the film, one removes. it without harmful scouring.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.
THE PIRACY PROBLEM,
(Continued from Page 2).
Views of the Guilds,
8. As we
understand them tho view of the Guilds (so far as the Grat three of the Resolutions quoted in paragraph 3 of this report are concerned) was that the defensive measures at present laid down in the Piracy Regulations should bej roplaced completely by a system of effective Naval patrols throughout the Danger Zone.
9. In regard to this proposal wo were informed by the representa- tives of the Admiralty.that it would be a matter of extreme difficulty to organise such an-extensive system. of Naval patrols that river steamers would always be safe from piratical attacks; and that such a system of patrols would in any case neces- sitate a very great expansion of the Naval Forces in Hongkong waters. We were further informed that, Naval establishments having! been drastically cut down since the War, there are no longer available any vessels of the special type which would be required to operate in the winding creeks of the Delta, that they could only be provided at great cost, and that the building of the necessary vessels and the provision of crews would take a considerable time.
10. We are satisfied that that situation is not so serious as to justify our recommending any such expansion of the Naval forces in these waters.
Convoy System.
11. It was suggested to us that the problem might be solved by the adoption of a convoy system, and were informed that such a system had been brought into operation on certain guns. We agree that in special circumstances a system of this kind may be useful and de- sirable. We feel however that the general adoption of such a system serious could not fail to have a effect as a hindriance to trade, and that it could not remain in force for any considerable length of time without creating widespread dis- satisfaction.
12. In the light of the foregoing considerations we are satisfied that! in addition to co-operation with the local Chinese authorities and the maintenance of as efficient a system of patrols as is possible with the resources available to the Naval authorities, defensive men- eures on board the ships themselves are vitally necessary. We have accordingly given our careful con- sideration to such evidence, as has been placed before us in regard to the efficacy of the measures pres- Eribed in the Piracy Regulations in the light of the criticisms of these Regulations which have been for mulated by the Guilds concerned.
The Navy Needed.
18. Briefly the contentions of the Guilds were that the Captain Super- intendent of Police is not a suit- able person to exercise. supervision' of the anti-piracy arrangements, which duty should be taken over! by the Naval authorities; that the Indian guards which ships are re- quired to carry are not amenable to the authority of the masters of the ships and are useless for de- fence purposes; that the currying of arms which may easily fall into the hands of the pirates is an added danger even if the desire to obtain them is not direct incentive to piratical attacks; that the struc- Eural requirements prescribed hy
hindrance) the Regulations are a
to the working of the ships; that generally the chances of success- fully resisting, a surprise attack are so slight that if (as they by the are required to do
master and regulations) the other certificated officer "Resist to the uttermost, they are faced by almost certain death; and that in view of the absence of adequate! provision for their dependents, it is unreasonable not to allow them to exercise their discretion as to the degree of resistance which should be offered.
14. Wo understand that in every case in which a piratical attack' has been successful, It has been found that the Piracy Regulations, have, in some essential respects, been disregarded. We have also had cited to us instances of attacks which have falled.
Immualty.
15. In the light of these reports we are satisfied that if the grilles) required by the regulations are pro-i perly constructed and "kept closed the, guards properly posted and disciplined, the passengers restrict ed to their proper quarters and the ships officers properly armed, their is very little chance of their being taken by surprise and eyery chance of their being able to resist (Continued on Page 11.)
