* THE PDAILY RRITISH WHIG. TUESRAY, JUNE 28, 1921,, > Science Proves the: Danger of Bleeding Gums Medical science proves that unhealthy gums cause serious ailments. People suffering from Pyorrhea (a disease of the gums) often suffer from other ills, such 'as rheumatism, anaemia, nervous disorders, or weak- ened vital organs. These ills have been traced in many cases to the Pyorrhea gérms which breed in pockets about the teeth, Four out of five people over forty have Pyorrhea. It begins with tender and bleeding 'gums. en the gums recede, the teeth decay, loosen and fall ot, or must be extracted to rid the system of the infecting Pyorrhea germs.

From {there she passed down the coast to Bombay and thence to Colombo, Madras, Rangoon and Calcutta. After cutting over to Singapore in thé Straits Settlements, she made her first call at Batavia in Java be- fore turning back to pick up the cargo of tea and general merchan- | dise which she finally brought into the harbor of St. John after a six | month trip. The Pioneer is the first Canadian vessel to make the round trip te India, but she is merely the 'fore- runner of what promises to be an era of world-wide trade exploitation for Canada. For example, in her travels she met the Canadian Con- queror at Bombay, and the Canadfan Investor at Calcutta, while the Cana- dian Importer recently left Vancou- j ver for Australia whenge she will go via the Suez to St. John, N.B., and | then through the Panama home to | Vancouver, thus circumnavigating | the globe. | Out of the sixty-six ocean-going vessels which were included in the {program of the Canadian Govern- | ment Merchant Marine, over forty- seven are already in service. These | are not being used as tramp vessels to pick up a cargo here and there | but they are running on established | routes and schedules. Two on the Passenger service toueh the West Indies every three weeks, calling at Nassau in the Bahamas, Kingston in Jamaica and Belize in British | Honduras. The South American services |reaches Rio de Janeiro, Buenos | Aires, Montevideo and Santos. There {is a fortnightly service to the Bar- | bados, Trinidad and Demerara and | 2 monthly service to India and Aus- | tralia, Other routes reach London, | Liverpool, Cardiff, Swansea and | Glasgow, while it is proposed to in- [stitute a service to China and | Japan. | While the United States is a | world-trader by interest only, Can- {ada is ome by necessity, since her geographical] position does not allow her to be economically self-sufficient. The Canadian Government Merchant Marine, coupled up with the 20,000 miles of national railway, provides an unsurpassed marketing organiz- ation which can reach the uttermost corners of the globe. The advan- tages of this can be estimated when it is considered to what an extent the prosperity and stability of indus- try depend upon a broad export market. The Canadian Government Mer- chant Marine, born of the war, now promises to be a decisive factor dur- ing peace time in placing Canada in the front rank of world-traders. Cuckoos and Cowbirds. There are a few birds that lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, the latter being of entirely different species or even families, says the American Forestry Magazine. The nestlings of such species are reared by their foster parents. The cuckoos of the old world have this habit, while with us it is the cowbird which | is the guilty one. In either case only a single egg. Js deposited, and the uckoo, as it grows, manages to push rightful occupants off the nest, being fed by thelr parents un- til it is ready to shift for itself. Poor Liza Ann. ' A well-known philanthropist tells how he was serving out viands with a lavish hand at a childen's treat in the east end of London. "Want any more?" he asked of Liza Ann With her mouth full she nodded assent, and after she had swallowed he heard her whisper to her neigh- bor, 'Lumme, I wish I 'adn't mend- od my corsets!" ---- Speaking to the Horse.

"Do you know," Jenny Wren said to Chippy Sparrow one: beautiful 'morning, "I think Daddy Wood- | pecker must be a grouchy old fellow. I've lived in this old tin can tacked to this tree for a good many seasons, and I have the first time yet to hear | him sing." "'Funny," laughed Chippy Sparrow, | "I was telling my mate just the other | day the very same thing. 1 have | never heard him singing, and I'm around most of the time. He certain- | ly must be a grouch." "And he is rather a nifty-looking fellow, too," chirped Mrs. Cowbird. { "My mate can't sing so very well; | but, my goodness he is for.ver trying | An Interesting Conversation, | to mock some who can! [I've often | thought that Mama Woodpecker must {live a lonely life. In the first place | why doesn't he build her a nice house | where she can sit out and enjoy the | sunshine, instcad of making her live { in the hollow ¢: some old dead tree?" | "Well, I-don't' know!" laughed ! Jenny Wren, "Still, it seems queer | to me also. Yet, come to think about | it, Mrs. Cowbird, I've often wonder- ed why you never built a nest and | raised a family, Come to think of ir, Ive never seen one of your eggs. | Don't you ever lay any?" | "Indeed she does!" chirped a | fourth voice, and little Yellowbira, | her feathers shining like satin jn the | three | | sunlight, hopped up to the | triends. "Mrs. Cowbird lays eggs all | right, and I can prove it, for last | season she laid three eggs in my | nest"! "But you never hatched them," Mis. Cowbird frowned. "I hung around to see If you would." "Well, if I vas too lazy to build a home of my own I'd never find fault with a bird who did build one," snap- ped Yellowbird. "Mam. Woodpecker lives in the nest Daddy Woodpecker provides for her, like a dutiful wife should do, and as far as Daddy Woog- pecker being able to sing, I guess he could sing if he wanted to." "It's very sweet of you folks to worry about wus," laughed Mama Woodpecker, who 'had accidently overheard the whole conversation. "But there is no cause for Worry. Yellowbird is right, Daddy Wood- pecker knows that I prefer a whole in a fence or a telegraph pole, or even a dead tree like the one I'm living in now, It isn't the mansion you dwell in that brings happiness, it's the life you live. 'As far,as my husband singing, he has no voice, and doesn't waste his time trying to make other folks think he has. But there isn't a drummer in Birdville that can hold a claw, to Daddy Woodpecker, He holds first prize in drumming, and you'll all have to agree with me about that. "Besides, Duddy Woodpecker cer- tainly is clever. Why, he can tell by looking at the bark on a tree whether there are any worms or bugs in it! Most of you fellows have to see the bugs before you know just where they are, but Daddy Woodpecker can drm on a pole or tree trunk or even a feuce rail, and can instantly tell where the best worms or bugs are located, t "Believe me, Daddy Woodpecker 1s one of the most hard-working citizens of Birdville. ; He's probably a great deal better off than some of the more musical fellows. I prefer his drum- ming to a song any day," and with a rap on the limb to emphasize her argument, Mama Woodpecker flew back to her nest. "See!" Yellowbird tried. "Mama Woodpecker is contented. So what's the odds whether they build to suit us or not? When Daddy Woodpecker is drumming she knows he is work- ing. I guess labor, after all, is the sweetest song," and Yellowbird flew away"to straighten out her own nest, and the others followed h#r example. +L a-- Culture of rubber is rapidly sup- planting the tobacco industry in Su- matra. . .
