It happened that a philosophic taxi-driver was holding forth on the decay of liberty. His particular grievance was the brutality of policemen. He referred to them as cattle, His passenger was a prankish fellow and he murmured, *‘All the same, a good many taxi-drivers certainly need cowing."” ‘Cowing!"" the driver exclaimed. “Maybe, but they don’t need to bully us, do they?" In uttering this joke, the driver removed his hands from the wheel to gesticulate and his fare remarked, **Just the same, you might as well steer."* This wretched remark secmed to paralyze the chauf- feur, and a good-natured truck bore down upon the cab and broke all the windows. —New Yorker.

White teeth deceive 4 out of 5 BECAUSE - - teeth are only as healthy as the gums 8° many people think they are secure when teeth are gleaming white. But too often they surrender to a disease of neglect—Pyorrhea. Lurking behind clean teeth is this marauder that takes high toll in health from 4 persons out of 5 after forty, and thousands younger. It ignores the teeth and attacks the gums. Take this precaution: See your dentist every six months, And start using the dentifrice that cleans teeth without the use of harsh abrasives and at the same time helps keep the gums firm and healthy. As you know, Pyorrhea seldom attacks healthy gums. Morning and night, every day, use Forhan’s for the Gums. Massage your gums daily with this dentifrice, following directions in booklet that comes with tube. Then you provide the protection teeth and gums must have. At all druggists—in tubes, 35c and 60c, Formula of R. J. Forhan, D. D. S. Forhan Company, New York. Forhans for the gums YOUR TEETH ARE ONLY AS HEALTHY AS YOUR GUMS comicbooks.com
