Dissipation and Concentration These words explain most successes and fail

ures in life. j ! Usually the man who gives exclusive attention to one all-absorbing problem and masters its intricacies, becomes a true master, and as result reaps his reward in money and honor, or in the supreme satisfaction that follows every deed well performed. The man who scatters his efforts over a wide field, refuses or neglects to apply himself diligently to each duty, as if it were the highest in this world, has to declare himself a failure when he reaches the October days of life. Dissipation of necessity does not include only transgressions of the moral code, such as a ruthless disregard of temperance and a wild plunge into frivolity and lewdness. One may dissipate as easily in the realms of industry or thought as in morals. A tramp is a good example of a man who is untrue to his vocational calling, and a "jack of all trades and master of none" is a patent illustration of the same principle. A student who does not give close mental application to his studies deserves the predicate of being dissolute. A man who accepts any conclusion without examining the premises is an intellectual libertine. Edison's greatest asset is concentration. It enables him to win victories in the domain of science where others fail or turn back in disgust. Given a problem that seems inexplicable and Edison forgets to eat and sleep until by profound, concentration of his mental apparatus he has solved the enigma. - Great thinkers, inventors, painters or musicians have mastered the faculty of concentration. In fact, tbey are great because they became absorbed in their life's work to the exclusion of almost every factor that did not aid them in their callings. Why not ask ourselves whether we are dissipating or concentrating our energies. Are we giving exclusive attention to some one thing so

as to become mgniy proticient Are we going about our work with an absorbing diligence and

faithfulness that will lead us forward ? Let each answer for himself.

ayette, Anderson, Muncie, Richmond, Marion, or any city of first rank in Indiana, without an up-

to-date, enterprising Y. M; C. A.?

Why it's simply unthinkable! So closely this institution has become interwoven with municipal life in all civilized communities, that it is as much a part of our fixed social system, as to attract notice only because of its absence. Most of the army units at the front and in the

training camps include more men than ordinarily

are served get that word 'served' for therein is

the secret of Y. M. C. A. success by any of the state's numerous progressive, modern associations. They are as much entitled to Y. M. C. A. benefits as the fellows back home.

Yet, Uncle Sam doesn't include an association building and organization in his military establishment. He leaves that to a patriotic enlightened citizenship, to whom he attributes enough genuine Christianity to see to it that the boys in uniform are not deprived of the advantages of

the Y. M. C. A. You say you have contributed? Well, it hasn't been much, now honor bright, has it? So come again! ... Make this latest contribution one that really counts. It's for an institution that counts and counts big with the boys who have gone forth to mingle "with many things that lack much of being as attractive as a Y. M. C. A. Surely they deserve all you can afford toward brightening their days far from home, where sunshine may be available only from within. The success of this war against the Huns, against the enemies of freedom, must not be at the expense of the moral standards of the Youth of America. It will not be, if each does his part. Have you done yours ? Honest now !

Neighboring

From the Christian Herald. frV TEIGHBORING"! Is there a kindlier word in our , jjj language? Those of us who are living, or have ever lived, in the country will answer: "No!" For we understand, as no native of the crowded cities possibly can, what real neighboring is, and what it can mean to a lonely woman isolated on a farm or living in a strange town. The pat of gift-butter banded over the gate, the loaned magazine or dress pattern, the hearty and unexpected invitation, the chat in the road over a friend's buggy-wheels these have turned the tide of many a woman's life, and possibly, of yours r mine. Is there one among us all who cannot remember days hard, disheartening days when a neighbor's loving act or presence came like a benediction, filling our hearts or moving us to tears as he who had "fallen among thieves" must have been moved when the Good Samaritan bent over him? Our "thieves," perhaps, were not of the kind that run away on two feet, but were rather of the deadlier sort: discouragement, mayhap, or loneliness, or failure, or sorrow, or disgrace, or want. Yet our help came to us as It came to him of old, through a great-hearted "neighbor": a neighbor who chanced to be driving by, and who did not "pass by on the other side." We have all known such hours all had such neighborly olve showered upon us! And we, in our turn, have tried to pass this love on to other lonely individuals. And yet, grateful as we are today for every such personal kindness shown to us, and for every chance we have had to show it to some one else, most of us perceive that with the years we have grown somewhat out of this personal sense of "neighboring" into a bigger, broader, nobler concept, which not only includes the woman next door, not only those nearest and dearest to us, but takes in every one the whole town or community.

The Source of All Tooth Troubles By William M. Ruthrauff, A. B., A. M. All Statements Approved by High Dental Authorities

Why Teeth Discolor and Decay Why Germs Breed Around Them What you already know is this: Despite all your brushing, your teeth still discolor. Tartar forms on them, so they need frequent dental cleaning. And some teeth still decay. You know that what you do, and what you use, fail to really keep teeth clean. Your present methods don't protect you. So there must be something wrong.

The trouble lies in a slimy, ever-present film which you feel with your tongue. That film is where the stains lodge, spoiling the teeth's whiteness. That film is what hardens into tartar. Thatefilm is what holds food particles. There they shortly ferment and form acid the cause of all tooth decay. And that film is where the germs breed the germs which cause countless troubles, including pyorrhea.

Thus the chief object of teeth-cleaning is to keep rid of that film. And that is where your methods fail. Feel your teeth with your tongue, however often you brush them, and you find that film still there. Every discolorment proves it every evidence of tartar. But between the teeth and in crevices is where it accumulates most. It is now known that alkali hardens it. So soapy applications do more harm than good. And we can't combat the acids or destroy the germs while that film remains to protect them.

Now There's a Way to End It To Keep Teeth Really Clean Three years ago a way was found to keep the teeth free from this film. Those three years have been spent by dentists in proving the fact beyond question. There have been many false theories of teeth-cleaning. Many ways which seemed good have proved worthless in fact, are now known to be harmful. So we waited three years to let dental authorities prove that this method was right. The film is albuminous matter. That fact suggested pepsin, which is albumin's digestant. Pepsin is known to digest albumin, and that means its dissolution. But Pepsin is inert until activated. And the activating agents are acid. The usual acid hydrochloric is destructive to the teeth. So pepsin for long seemed barred. - - Then an acid salt was found a neutralized acid which does not harm the teeth. In fact, the teeth themselves are largely formed from it. This acid salt will activate pepsin. It is this discovery which has solved the problem of that film.

That is why your method of teeth-cleaning fails. It removes only the loose debris. That is important, but water alone will do that. There is little need of a dentifrice unless it attacks that film. For, day and night, harmful things are being held by that film to the teeth. ' That is your situation unless your dentist has already told you of Pepsodent. Your teeth are not clean, not safe. They do not long stay white. And you rely for your protection on periodic dental cleaning. f But now science has solved this film problem. And this is to ask that you prove it by a one-week's pleas

ant test.

PAT. OFF ft

Pepsodent combines pepsin with this activating agent. The purpose is to dissolve the film so that brushing will remove it. Five governments already, by granting patents on this combination, have recognized its newness and efficiency. Pepsodent is now supplanting all former methods of teeth cleaning. It has been subjected to thousands of clinical tests. Its results have been proved beyond question. It has won the endorsement of authorities who are recognized all over America. And countless dentists in their practice have proved that it does what they seek. Now, on their advice, we are telling the facts to you. This is to urge you to make a one-week test. The coupon below will entitle you to Pepsodent for it. See what it means to you. t Note how clean your teeth feel, even after one application. Note how quickly the slimy film disappears, how your teeth grow whiter. And how they soon feel as they feel after thorough dental cleaning. Mark how pleasant its use is, how unique and complete its effects. One week will convince you. You will never return to any method which leaves your teeth coated with film. Cut out the coupon now.
