When the President spoke to tii I new Congress on the third of April. n< • used a new voice a voice some oil us had but vaguely suspected to lie I In his possession. It Wat a volte lit dared to call. More, it dared to call p a nation. More, it dared to call n t ■liis nation alone; it dared to call . 1 the nations of the earth the Germ m , nations with the rest.

There is ;■« secure peace anywhere The Preside-.t called his own nation not otilj to pr toot its rights and to etif irce the gi eral law. but t > fight for Freedom ami to war against war.

1 tooth paste, / • 1 keeps teeth clean AND GUMS HEALTHY. betolchy aad che mouth sweet to very importanc te health; mare teeth are lost through the loosening of the tissue that holds tbo teeth In plate than from decay. • Dental science to-day demands that a tooth paata must keep the fiuma healthy as well as clean the teeth. Senreco was formulated to meet this requirement. Hundreds of dentists are prescribing and using Senreco because they have found that it does measure up to that standard. SENRECO IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. In addition to its remedial properties Senreco is a wonderful cleanser, is directly on the mucin film, the basis of tartar; leaves the mouth cool an,l clean-ieeimg. As some one has expressed it-Senreco gives one a new idea on mouth cleanlinessGet a tube to-day at your druggists or toilet counter—enjoy the healthy, cleanly feeling its use gives your mouth and gums. Notice how brilliantly white Senreco makes ywr teeth It performs this two-fold service for you and yet costs no more than the ordinary, old-fashioned tooth paste that simply cleans the teeth and leaves a pleasant testa—2s cents for a large 2 ounce tube.
