There is no mystery about it," said an old soldier to a Dominion reporter apropos of the perfect condition of the teeth of the men who have Teturned from Palestine. "The doctors ought to Know that the people who live in sandy countries have eound teeth. We found that in Africa. You scarcely need to use a tooth-brush when you are camped m the desert. The teeth are kept clean and bright by the sand, which gets on the food, drifts into the mouth, and generally pervades everything. Some of the natives in the sandy regions of Africa have wonderfully good teeth, always as white and clean as the keys of a piano. They never see a tooth-brush. They put gome sand in the mouth, rub it round ivith a finger, and spit it out. Of course, the dentist will tell you that you must not use 6and because it will chip the enamel. The black fellows don't know anything about dentiste; they don't need them. Anyway, here are our men coming back frotn Palestine with teeth so sound and clean that doctors are surprised, while the men from Flanders need the drill and the forceps at once. How do the experts explain that?" The public are the beat judges. Wβ are quite satisfied to abide by the decision of the users of Duryea Maizena Cornflour. Have you tried it?—(Ad.)
