Tue gods or imps that rule Broadway Bestowed on lovely Dixie Dugan The sex appeal of Gilda Gray, The aise grace of Jackie Coogan. They made her just the type of minx, So honest, daring, pure and clever, That every chorus lady thinks She'd be with any chance whatever. She drank and drank, but somehow kept Intact her virtue, health and beauty; She made whoopie while others slept And still reported fit for duty. And if you think she didn’t gain All sorts of Mazda-lighted glories, You don't possess the kind of brain That's any good for writing stories. A throng of suitors tried to hook Our saucy little night club dancer, Whose stunts would make the prudent look Askance at first, and then askancer. But Dixie crossed them off her list,— The card-and-motto salesman, Denny, And young Alvarez, tangoist, A lover quite as warm as any.

Have they tried the arrival of a big crowd of relatives along about dinner time when there is nothing in the house to cat?—Detroit News. Here's a little gem of wisdom for the man who wants the best that smoking can give him—a healthy, protected mouth means a cool, joyous smoke. There's a lot in that thought. There won't be much opportunity for the first smoke to bite or growl, or for the last one to be sour or bitter—every puff will hit the spot, if you will just give your mouth the care that it deserves. If you make Squibb’s Dental Cream an intimate rite in your smoking routine. For Squibb’s not only puts your mouth in a healthy con- dition but, by depositing tiny particles of Milk of Magnesia in the mouth crevices, it keeps it so. At night it relieves any possible irritation or distaste. 40c at any druggist’s. Copyright 1928 by E. R. Squibb & Sons GUARD THE DANGER LINI comicbooks.com
