that Gibbs Dentifrice cusure by guarding teeth Sunny hours of happy laughter fill every day when health abounds. Gibbs Dentifrice guards that priceless boon--by guarding teeth. Many men, many women have perfect teeth to-day because in childhood they acquired the habit of using Gibbs Dentifrice three times a day. That delicious sense of cleanness delights them as much now as it did of old as it delights children to-day.

A very popular and conscientious officer, the late Sub-Inspector Cotton was well liked by his col. leagues and all those who came in contact with him. His demise is the more regrettable owing to the fact that he would have retired early next year, and his wife and child were awaiting his return to England on pension.
