LONDON WIDOW DUPE OF GAY ADVENTURESS
1938.
FOR nearly four years the silver tongue of Mrs. Eunice
Mary Rose, 36-year-old glamour-seeking blonde trickster, drained £14,000 from the fortune of a charit able widow.

Demure and pale, still impeccably dressed, she had no word to say when sentence was passed, and Mr. Justice Branson said: "You got help from
a kindly person, and you abused the kindness of her heart to enable you to rob her."
Nor had she anything to say when her counsel suggested that she was shielding someone, and mentioned "a suspicion of black- mail."
The widow she robbed was Mra, Edith Barnes, of Normanton, Reigate Heath, Surrey. And the sum she gained was £14,103.
For many years Eunice Rose went straight. She was born in Reigate, and worked there until her marriage some years ago. Most of her time was spent bebind a draper's counter. She parted from her husband and worked in a big London store for a time.

WHAT DOES THE
X-RAY SHOW
?
Tooth decay sometimes works under cover. The X-ray frequently discloses teeth badly infected below the gum line, which sup strength and even lead to serious diseases.
You must fight acid every time you brush your teeth! Germ Acids, forming from fermenting food particles, are the prin cipal cause of tooth decay. You can fight them scientifically by brushing your teeth at least twice daily with Squibb Dental Cream. It is antacid and neutralizes Germ Acids.
Squibb Dental Cream contains nothing to scratch enamel or irritate gums...it protects and purifies as it cleans. And it costs no more than ordinary dentifrices
