The New York Tribune, which is not lrientsly to ‘President Wilson, al- leges that there is an effort to co:i- fuse the public mind in regard to the attitude of those who would write u reservation into Article X. of -the League of Nations compact. Article X is a follows:

The members of the league un- dertnke to respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and ex- isting political independence 6f all members of the league. lu case of any threat or danger of, such aggression the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall lie fulfilled.

The Lodge-Lenroot reservation is . as follows:

Tire United States assumes no obligation to preserve the territorial integrity or political independence of any other coun- try or to interfere in controver- sies between IIBliOIiS-fwllblllel‘ members of the league oi‘ uot—~ under the provisions of Article _ X, or to employ the military and ' naval forces of the United Stat- es under" any article. of tho treaty for any purpose uiilless in tiny particular case. tho Con- gress, which, under the Consti- tution, has the sole power to de-

ployment of the military and naval forces of the Unified Stut- es, shall by tact of Joint resolu- tion so provide.

The Tribune says: "The defeat of Article X. so far as the United States is concr-rncil, it; that it ig- nores the pL-cularities of our (fou- stltution. Tile United States may

TORONTO. Feb. 1T.—l-‘or the first time in its history the Can- adlan Council of Agriculture will meet in~Toronto. Previously all ses sions have been held in Winnipeg or some Western city. The council ~wili convene here on or about Miarch Z3 and its session, which will probably last severa] days, will be taken up with discussing the ‘political situation. l_t is likely that every province in the Dominion with the exception of Prince Ed- ward island, will be represented.

The council, it is expected, will make arrangements to hold a poll- tical conventloii early in April, and at this convention complete ar- rangements will bc made for the coining Dominion elections. lt will either be in Toronto or Winnipeg. The work of organizing the far-V mar“ in Nova Scotia and the other Maritime Provinces is proceeding apaco, and it is largely on account of their coming into the field that Toronto lIlIS been chosen as the

~ 20 Trials Free A To Show‘ You What Clean Teeth Mean

All Statements Qproved by High ‘Dental Authorities

This is to offer you a 10-Day Tube of Pepcodent-the pepsin tooth paste which combats the ﬁlm.

Able authorities have proved the product by clinical and laboratory tests. The results are beyond any question. Load- ing dentists everywhere are now urging its adoption.

We ask you to prove it by a 10-day test. Do this [or your sake and your children's sake. Sec for yourself how it will help you to cleaner and whiter teeth.

Film Wrecks the Teeth

Tim slimy ﬁlm which you feel on your teeth causes most tooth troubles. Every modern dentist knows that. And for years dental science has sought a way to combat it.

Film is what discolors-not the teeth. It is the bull ol tartar. It ho.ds food substance which fern-tents and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. ,

Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.

Now science knows a way to combat it. The way is Om- bodicd in a dentifrice called Pcpsodent. 1t is now used daily on millions of teeth, largely by dental advice. To those who don t know it we supply a free tube, so they may ﬁnd it out.
