Woodwork, vice-president; BLAME THOSE TEETH OF YOURS! Do you know that modern medical research finds over fifty per cent of our physical ailments are due to bad teeth? Do you know that the up-to-date doctor is sending his pa tients those whose cases baffle him to the dentist in stead of to the sanitarium or to the operating table? Do you know that diseases and maladies, that have mysti fied the medical profession and have caused sufferers untold sums of money in wasted treatments, have been cured simply through proper correction of tooth trou bles? Do you know that you may be ailing right now from some difficulty that is traceable solely to decayed, abscessed, crooked or broken teeth? Do you know that you owe it to yourself to see a dentist once every six months, whether you think that you need . dental work or not because defects creep slyly into even the most carefully cleansed teeth and gums? Do you know that one of the reasons you dodge the dentist is because you fear him fear a heavy expense, fear the interminable delays that generally accompany dental "operations," fear the gruelling ordeal that you have been led to believe must accompany all tooth-treatment, and fear unsatisfactory workmanship, on top of all that? Do you know that dentistry has become such a bugbear that most of you prefer to let your teeth go all to pieces be fore you muster up enough courage to face a jaw archi tect? BUT Do you know that you are not only short-sighted in neglect . ing what our Army is telling the people is the most im portant part of a soldier's physical equipment the teeth but you are failing to grasp an opportunity fo get relief N without any of the troubles and pains and annoyances and financial burdens that have heretofore frightened you away from dentistry?
