Four te One Odds
Against Ifeu
The chances .are four te one you will contract
Pyorrhea after you pass the age of forty unless you
take proper precautions.
Thousands younger also suffer from this unpleasant
disorder of the mouth and gums.
Pyorrhea starts with' tender, bleeding gums.
That is the way Nature warns you of your danger. Heed
that warning!
If you ignore it, you may pay the penalty by less of your
teeth and serious illness.
Pyorrhea works fast. It loosens the teeth in their sockets
until they fall out or must be pulled. It forms pus pockets
at the roots of the teeth and feeds disease germs into the
system.
Don't trifle with Pyorrhea.
At the first danger signal, see your dentist and start using
Eerhan's Fer the Gums.
Ferhan's, if used consistently and used in time, will prevent
Pyorrhea or check its course.
It is the time-tested formula of R. J. Ferhan, D. D. S.
Use Ferhan's regularly as a dentifrice. It
keeps the teeth and gums in a clean, healthy
condition and wards off Pyorrhea'.
Don't wait until tomorrow. Four out of
five contract Pyorrhea because they wait
tee long. 35c and COc tubes at your druggist's.

Bill
In "Ne Man's Land"
Over the top went the soldiers' bonus when the Fordney Bill, which proposes
"adjusted service certificates" (really bends en which the ex-service men would be expected te
borrow money at the banks if they should want the cash inside of three years), was overwhelm
ingly adopted by the Heuse of Representatives. But, te paraphrase recent Washington dis
patches in the military language appropriate te the topic, this would seem te be the beginning
rather than the end of the real battle. Over the top, yes, but there is a long, dangerous, toil
some advance before the objectives can be reached and taken. Beth Senate and President
must be wen, and in the meantime the bonus is out in the open, in "Ne Man's Land," sub
jected te a long-range barrage of editorial criticism, the heavy artillery of Senatorial opposition,
the machine-gun fire of committee-room and conference discussion, and all the barbed wire
entanglements of parliamentary amendments and obstructions, te sav nothing of purely political
pitfalls and shell-holes. Will the final objectives ever be reached?
Service men, according te Jehn Themas Talver, legislative agent of the American
Legien, expect that "the bonus bill will pass and become a law." Republican leaders in the
Heuse are quoted in the New Yerk Times (Dcm.) as being confident that the bill will be

LaijU (Dem.), New Yerk Evening Mail (Rep.) and the New Haven Journal Courier (Ind )
which arc against the bonus, agree with the Manchester Union (Rep.), which is for it that the
Senate is mere likely te adept the bill as it came from the Heuse than te reject it ' On the
ether hand, Mr. Lewis .Scibeld, of the New Yerk Herald, declares that "if a vote were taken
