• "20 MILLION SWEETHEARTS”
When one thinks
of the fact that not millions but milliards of microbes and bacteria are living in a neglected mouth, that is, in a mouth that has not been daily antiseptically cleansed, it seems nothing less than dis- gusting to allow such distruction to continue in our mouths and teeth. It is simply incredible that there still exist many educated people who refuse to realise that it is an absolute necessity not only for the preservation of the teeth, but also for the general health, to free their mouth daily from the bacteria which destroy their teeth. Odol arrests most thoroughly and effectively all fermentation and decomposition in the mouth. Everyone who uses Odol regularly every day Insures the greatest protection for his teeth and mouth that sientific discovery has up to the present time made possible. Odol is daily used thousands of doctors and dentists themselves.

"WILL NOT FIGHT”
Peace Pledger Hits At National Idea
ENGLAND TO BLAME
The Peace Pledge Union held a meeting at the Cafe Wiseman yester- day when an international gathering listened to an address by Mr. D.
secretary.
said Mr. Sp
the Peace Pledge Union was started in Eng- land about two years ago and had grown very quickly, as membership now was about 155,000, and growing daily. Its aim was the understand- ing of fellow men and to treat them as human beings and equals. It did not agree with the old idea of loyalty to
of the any particular section human race, but believed in loyalty to the whole of the human race.
"Pacifism must be an individual thing," he declared, "and one has to get the mentality of an individual to see that he is one
mass of human beings. There is very Hong- cosmopolitan community in kong, and it is the aim of the Union to get all nationalities to meet and to further international understand-
of
τ
a
ing"
Mr. Spreckley went on to say that the
English in particular, had to get out of their nationalist idea, and that out
England was as much to blame for the present world situation as any-
one.
At the moment, all that could be done was to try to get individuals to understand each other by making oneself a pacifist. Everyone knew
how insan
insane the wa
war business was.
"We might
all be friends
sitting
at
or
a table, partaking of tea, passing cigarettes and enjoy
others enjoying each conversation, when suddenly, some- thing might happen in
Europe elsewhere, and the nationals of the nations concerned receive orders by which he has to murder those with whom he has been friendly, and who had done nothing to him." he said.
"As
pacifists
ifists we renounce all that. We refuse to take up arms for our own particular country, but will
con- tinue to remain in friendly spirits with our neighbours Members of the Union prefer to be shot than to shoot other people. We are con- vinced we have the right idea, and Darifism means having not only the right idea about oncoll but of others. If we try to treat everyone rightly, the movement can, not fail."
