polisher on the market. Ask your own dentist about it. Easier to use than pastes; more
convenient and more economical than powders. The ideal Dental CREAM for a soldier's kit.

AMERICAN
CHEMISTS.
When the war began America depended
upon Germany for most of the finer chemicals
and most of the better chemical, physical
and optical instruments; but now
there
are few chemical processes and combinations
which can not only be duplicated, but
have even been improved by Americans.
We are manufacturing our own medicines,
our own coloring agents, our own
explosives.
We now produce our own chemical glassware
of a better quality than that formerly
imported from Germany. Germany had for
years fostered those chemical industries
rip*
which would be beneficial to the art of war.
It has taken three years for this country
to find itself, but now we can meet Germany
in competition. It was Germany's
monopoly in the production of chemicals
that gave her such an advantage in the
beginning
of the war. She had made' those
chemicals which would furnish by-products
from which explosives were made, besides
furnishing skilled scientists whose knowledge
became a great asset in time of war.
In
the future the Allied nations will not allow
any nation to prepare for war by hoarding
by-products which in reality are paid
for by other nations.

band, playing in quick time one of those
dashing tunes which never fail to thrill a
fellow, passes in front of the line of officers,
stalwart and resplendent in their uniforms
but not half so cultured as a Jellyback.
See the sunlight catch the silver of
the band's instruments and sparkle in the
big bass horns. Hear the infectious rhythm
of the music. Isn't it delightful?' "
I stopped. "That, sir, is the way I would
depict the regulations."
"And you'd probably want a battle stopped
in mid-action to serve tea and cakes.
Yes, Jellyback, it's a grand little idea, but
I wouldn't recommend it to the authorities
at Washington if I were you. It's too good
for them. They wouldn't appreciate it. I'd
keep it to myself if I were you."
And,
do you know, I believe he was right.
