‘THE FOOD that we eat today fails to give our teeth the work they need. Worse than that, this soft and creamy food deprives the gums of the stimulation that rough, coarse food once gave them, Does your toothbrush “show pink”? Gums are dull and logy; they get no ex- ercise — no stimulation, Tooth troubles, due to weak and softened gums, are on the rise—the prevalence of Pyorrhea is one item in a long list. Dental authorities are not insensible to this condition, Today they are preaching and practicing the care of the gums as well as the care of the teeth, Nearly three thousand dentists have written us to tell how they are combating soft and spongy gums by the use of Ipana, Instubborn cases, they prescribe a gum- massage with Ipana after the ordinary cleaning with Ipana and the brush. For Ipana Tooth Paste, because of the pres- ence of Ziratol, has a decided tendency to Strengthen soft gums and to keep them firm and healthy. Ipana is a tooth paste that’s good for your gums as well as your teeth, Itsclean- ing power is remarkable and its tasteis un- forgetably good. Send for a sample today.

All would have been well, only Papa, in a fit of exu- berancy, klaxed the klaxon on the Ford too loudly. Before you could say “George Washington,” a policeman had appeared, and, reading the exact words of the violation from a little book, he confiscated the Quimby char- iot: Undismayed by this, the Quimbys proceeded by trolley-car to the beach. Then an amusing thing happened. Harry Hossfut, Louise Quimby's young man, lit a cigar which had been brought to him from Cuba by a friend more kind than discreet. The proper authorities took him away im- mediately, Then little Willie Quimby exploded a torpedo that he had found some- where....The judge was lenient and Willie was sent to a House of Juve- nile Correction for only two weeks. Papa was so overcome by this that he offered the judge a little of the spirits of ’76. “Thirty days,” said the judge. Papa had guessed wrong again. That left only Mama Quimby and Louise. They might have managed to carry out the program untroubled if a horrid anti-stimulant lady-detective hadn’t smelled the iced tea and coffee in the thermos bottles. There being nothing else to do, Mama went away with her quietly. By this time Louise Quimby dis- cerned that it would be wise for her to watch her step. But when Louise tried to go in bathing, it seemed that her bathing suit was not in the best community interest. eee Two months later, the Quimby family was reunited and all agreed that the original plan of spending a day at the beach would have been splendid, if they had only been able to do it twenty years ago, HW. H. Long Tennis THERE was once a tennis enthusiast whose style was not flashy, but steady —oh, so steady. He could always re- turn the ball in some fashion and al- ways get it in, Unfortunately for him, however, after a long string of vic- tories over the most brilliant in all the land, he was matched with a player of his own kind, who, unknown (as he), had developed by intense study the same unerring return and accu- racy. The first point of their first game was never finished. If you have ideas and like to draw you are an artist, How many times in looking at magazine and newspaper illustrations has a thought for a good picture come to you? Great artists are made, they are not born that way. Men and women now getting $100.00 to $1,000.00 for a single picture could not draw any better than you can when they began, Some of them learned the secrets of art by years of constant work and study with very little or no instruction, Think of the waste of time and effort.
