A good example is

set by those who regularly use

CALVERT'S

Carbolic Tooth Powder.

They evidently realize both the personal satisfaction and the hygienic importance of brushing their teeth to remove the food particles, etc.... which collect on or between them.

Their experience tells them too, how well Calvert's Carbolic Tooth Powder ads the tooth-brush to do its work easily, thoroughly and pleasantly, polishing the enamel, and, at the same time antiseptically cleansing wherever it goes. That is why more and more people use it every year.

The political parties constituting the Bloc in the Reichstay will support the Government's military, naval, and Colonial policy, but they are not agreed on a very important point, namely, whence the money is to be obtained which the prosecution of this policy demands.
