Getting  Rid  of  Ants 
I  take  a  sheet  of  poisoned  flypaper  that 
you  buy  at  most  any  drug  store  or  coun¬ 
try  grocery,  place  sheet  in  shallow  dish, 
sprinkle  on  some  sugar,  pour  on  a  very 
little  warm  water,  place  where  the  ants 
can  get  at  it  easily  and  they  are  all  dead  I 
in  a  few  hours.  o.  B.  I 
PROTECTION 
In  stormy  weather  your  family  is  protected  by 
rubber  clothes  and  boots  to  prevent  colds  and 
other  illness. 
In  good  weather  or  bad,  the  enamel  of  your  teeth 
(the  protective  outer  covering)  needs  to  be  cared 
for  against  the  constant  attack  of  decay.  Mothers 
and  school  teachers  should  see  that  children’s 
teeth  are  brushed  at  least  twice  a  day  with  a  safe 
dental  cream,  to  remove  food  particles  in  which 
harmful  decay  germs  breed. 
Colgate’s  Ribbon  Dental  Cream  contains  no  grit, 
no  harmful  drugs  or  chemicals.  Children  use 
Colgate’s  regularly  and  willingly  because  of  its 
delicious  flavor.  It  is  recommended  by  more 
Dentists  than  any  other  dentifrice. 
If  your  wisdom  teeth 
could  talk  they’d  say,
