Look for film on your teeth--that's
the cause. How to combat it
Look at your teeth. If dull, cloudy, run your tongue serosa ihem. You will feel a film. That's the cause of the trouble. You must fight it?
Film is that viscous coat which you feel. It clings to teeth, gets, into
crevices and stays. It hides the natural luster of your teeth. It also holds food substance which ferments and causes acid. In contact with teeth, this acid hvites decay. Millions of germs breed in it. And they, with tartar, are the chilei cause of pyorrhea. So dingy teeth ncan more than loss of good appearance. They may indicate danger, grave danger to your teeth.

First Revolution."
Wit
What will be the second chap- tor in this romantic adventure? It is foreshadowed by an incident that happened a few weeks ago.
One evening a member of the "Floreana's" crew went ashore. When he came back in the ship. he announced his intention of withdrawing from the enterprise. He had been regarded as one of the most bitter of woman haters. Alas! his escape was prevented at the eleventh hour by the wiles of a woman. He found that Eve, after all, is not so bad, not so destitute of charms, that one need flee from, her so far as the Equa: tor.
In the days to come there may be a rebel who will take courage from the ghosts of the dead bue- caneers, and lift aloft the jazz Ilag of modern Eye and declare for the admission of women.
And when that day arrives, perhapa a few among the little company of misanthropes will slip over to his side and bring about the first revolution in the Eveless Parndine.
Time will show; meanwhile the graceful lines of the Floreana as sho lies in the harbour of San Francisco are an object of deep Interest to every bobbed-haired maidon.
