Do they bleed If so—watch out for Pyorrhea, This disease of the gums, which alficts four out of five people over forty, not only destroys the teeth, but often wrecks the health.

These germs lower the body's vitality and cause many diseases, You can keep Pyorthea away. Visit your dentist often for teeth and gum inspection, and use For- han’s For the Gums.

BETWEEN ACTS: WASHINGTON The Jap: France still insists upon her “security.” The Britisher: Yes; and what does she mean by not being an island? —Le Rire (Paris) ———— * LIFE Help The Russian Children (See Mr. Walker’s cartoon on the editorial page of this number of LIFE.) N these days so many appeals for help come to us from so many quar- ters, that it is not only hard to keep them separated, but it is hard to dis- tinguish the most pressing from the least pressing, the genuine from the doubtful. No people are more disposed to give than the American people, out of what they have. Our impulses are generous. But we have been surfeited with calls, and we are all intensely busy. Perhaps it will help those who are ready to give, to know that Lire, having a bird’s-eye view of the whole world situation, believes that, all things considered, the starving children of Russia should come first. They need us most of all. They are dying by thousands for want of food. Think of it. One hundred dollars will save one hundred lives for a month. This whole business of American Relief is under Mr. Hoover’s charge. Not only does every dollar go to the starving people of Russia (the expenses having all been underwritten), but owing to the large quantities of food sent, more food for a dollar is dis- tributed to these children there than can be bought in New York. When you make out your check it is precisely as if you stood at the miserable cot- sides of those starving children and gave them back their lives. Now the work of this Russian Relief | in the field is actually under the charge of Colonel Haskell, Mr. Hoover’s rep- resentative. And working under Colonel Haskell are the Quakers who are now feeding 50,000 people in Russia. What the Quakers are doing and what that | noble woman, Miss Annie Hines, is do- ing—all this is a wonderful story by itself. But what are you now going to do? The best thing for you to do is to write out the largest check you can and send it at once to Charles H. Sabin, Treasurer Russian Famine Fund Committee 15 Park Row, New York City Confidences The following scrap of conversation was overheard in a London motor-'bus, and deeply impressed those fortunate enough to catch the words. Said one fair passen- ger to another: “Between you and me, I don’t seem to like your husband so much as I did.” “And between you and me,” said the other, “neither do I.” —London Morning Post.

Very glorious new food 7 shops have broken out—brilliant in 7 their displays of fruit, preserved things 7 and wares of the sort that have been known as delicatessen. There have always been delicatessen shops and there have always been gro- cers and fruiterers, but these new ones appeal to the eye in a fashion that is new. It dawns on the _ intelligence gradually that the saloons are gone and that the decorative talent that used to ¥ assist the dispensing of drinks is now behind the distribution of food. These food shops, candy stores and the in- numerable eating places are the suc cessors of the saloons. The eating in New York must be pretty good. It always had attention and now, besides that, it gets all that drink had. Concentration of -so much talent cannot but bring results.
