HERE is a tiny ridge on the surface of your teeth at the gum line. It is where the hard, protective enamel stops and the softer, bony structure of the tooth begins. This is The Danger Line.

It is usually exposed by the recession of the gums so that you can detect it.

What happens there

The edges of your gums are round. They form a little triangular crevice where they come into contact with the teeth at The Danger Line. Food particles lodge here. Through bacterial decomposition they form acids which, with other acids, eat into the teeth. This is Acid-Erosion-a forerunner of tooth decay.

Decay at The Danger Line spreads. rapidly because your teeth are not protected by enamel. The gums become infected and diseased. Pus pockets, or abscesses, form around the roots of the teeth, and the poisonous products of bacteria are absorbed directly into the system, often causing rheumatism, heart-disease and other serious infections.

Dental authorities have searched for many years to find a safe, positive preventive for Acid-Erosion. Nearly all now agree that milk of magnesia is by far the best prod

"E" for Indiana

What happened to the one Ford owner in an Indiana village who didn't use Gargoyle Mobiloil "E"

O

UR mail gets richer every day in endorsements

from Ford owners who have discovered the
superiority of Gargoyle Mobiloil "E."
A re-

cent report from Indiana is especially interesting.

The Ford agency in a certain Indiana village started using Gargoyle Mobiloil "E" exclusively in all new cars sold. Owners were urged to continue the use of this oil. Since then, this agency has sold nearly 100 Fords. Only one of these owners reported any engine or lubricating trouble.

This one trouble case consisted of chattering bands. The owner of the car was questioned. He admitted that he had changed from Gargoyle Mobiloil "E" to another oil.

The bands were replaced. The owner has returned to Gargoyle Mobiloil "E."

Clean-cut superiorities

This wholesale evidence of the superiority of Gargoyle
Mobiloil "E" again demonstrates these facts:

(1) Gargoyle Mobiloil "E" flows easily and at once
runs out of the pet-cock when the oil is up to the
proper level. Thus, correct oil level is assured.

(2) The clean-burning character of Gargoyle Mobiloil "E" minimizes carbon formation in the Ford engine. It also protects you against sticky valves..

(3) The body of Gargoyle Mobiloil "E" enables it to reach and lubricate every bearing surface with ease. (4) Gargoyle Mobiloil "E" gives positive and immediate clutch engagement and disengagement. There is no "creeping.

(5) The body and character of Gargoyle Mobiloil "E" enable it to reach and thoroughly lubricate the transmission sleeves, gears and bearings.

(6) Distributing freely to every frictional surface, and retaining adequate body under Ford heat conditions, Gargoyle Mobiloil "E" assures thorough lubrication with a minimum of heat.

Beware of By-product oils Gargoyle Mobiloil is produced by a company which specializes in lubrication. The crude stocks are chosen entirely for their lubricating value-not for their high gasoline yield.

The refining of Gargoyle Mobiloil is done slowly and at lower temperatures than are commonly employed. The added carefulness in production includes many steps which are commonly considered unnecessary.

A 5-gallon can of Gargoyle Mobiloil "E" will give you an astonishing amount of trouble-free mileage in your Ford car.

For the differential of Ford cars use Gargoyle Mobiloil "CC" or Mobilubricant as specified by the Chart of Recommendations.

great events that he had shared," writes the editor of the Richmond News Leader, in the course of a striking two-column valedictory; "it was the impress of the mighty men among whom he had walked, it was the modest consciousness that he represented to youth the ideals and traditions of 'Stonewall' Jackson-it was this that marked out Rev. James Power Smith." He was the last survivor of the staff of General Jackson, that strange staff, chosen in part because of the religious fervor of its members. Dr. Smith owed his elevation from an artillery corporal partly to the fact that he wore the cloth. "Here he would come down the street," writes the Richmond editor, describing the former staff officer as he appeared in later days:

Small and slight of figure, but walking rapidly and with a grace a king might have craved. His air was that of reflection and of decision, and accentuated the reserve his long clerical coat and his austere vest suggested. But when he paused to acknowlA edge a greeting, it was with dignity and humility blended. You could not fail to observe the fine lines and the poise of his

It was not physical peculiarity, for he was in appearance much as other intellectuals of his age. It was not the fact that he was a minister of the Gospel, who never forgot his calling. It was not even that he that marked his generation.

the ideals and the traditions of "Stonewall"

Jackson-it was this that marked out Rev. James Power Smith.

Until that great day in September, 1862, Mr. Smith's career was that of many another educated boy from the "border States." Drawn from college by the roll of drums, which always has bewitched youth, he joined that premier command of cannoneers, the Rockbridge artillery. With that company he fought at First Manassas, and in moments snatched from his duty ministered to those the fleeing Federals had left behind. "As I placed a knapsack under the head of a poor sufferer in blue," he wrote years afterward, "he struggled

Is Your Paper Too Cheap?

'S it cheap in appearance?

Are you losing more actual dollars in prestige-and in orders-than you save in price?

People judge you by your stationery, you know, just as they judge you by your clothes. Paper that is obviously cheapno matter how low the priceis seldom an economy.

You may not want to buy the finest paper made, yet there's no reason why you should go to the other extreme and use paper that is obviously cheap. Good paper need not be expensive.

Danish Bond, for instance, comes close to being the finest bond paper made. (You would have to be a paper expert almost to tell the difference!) Yet it sells for considerably less!-a most unusual balance in favor of the purchaser.

Make it a point to get prices and samples of Danish Bond the next time you order letterheads, office forms, circulars, folders, announcements, etc. Write or telephone your regular printer, stationer or lithographer.

feebly to draw something from his pocket. To his unuttered desire I drew out the small photograph of a woman and child, and while I held it up before his gaze, his eyes closed and the husband and father was gone." Bloody, tragic business this for a ministerial student, a preacher's son, and more of it ahead. For young Smith was of the Stonewall brigade, which had to fight that wonder-campaign the next spring. The Federals were driven back, the Army of the Valley journeyed to Eastern Virginia to aid in the battles of the Seven Days; then came Cedar Mountain and Second Manassas. Young Smith by that time was a corporal and sat proudly on one of the caissons as the Rockbridge artillery crossed the Potomac and entered into the enemy's country.

Smith was known in Frederick and received in answer to a friendly call an invitation to a meal. “My surprize and chagrin were great when there came in to dine no less a party than General Robert E. Lee and his staff, well-drest and toileted. The private solider made an effort to escape, but was captured and brought back; and, seated for protection by the side of the lady of the home, he permitted the generals and colonels to do the talking and ate a dinner not yet forgotten."

The next day came the great opportunity. For

Smith had met General Jackson when the hero of the valley had been awkward Major Jackson of the V. M. I. The two had chatted together very pleasantly at a wedding in Rockbridge. Smith, moreover, had seen and heard Jackson often during the campaigns of 1861-1862, but probably he had never imagined Jackson remembered him until, on the very day after that silent dinner, he received orders to report at General Jackson's headquarters. Jackson received him, and with all the simplicity in the world offered him a commission as captain and aide-de-camp on his staff. Smith had not dreamed of that fame. he had said that I, an artillery corporal, was to be a major-general, I could not have been more surprized."

not merely the great events, but the characteristic little incidents. He gave the world, for instance, the story of the conspicuous band of gold braid that Mrs. Jackson put about her husband's cap. He dared not remove it for fear of offending her, but in the winter of 1862-1863, he ripped it off at Moss Neck and tied it about the locks of little Janie Corbin, his host's daughter.

It fell to Dr. Smith's lot to announce both to Jackson and to Lee the first news of Hooker's crossing the Rappahannock. On April 29, 1863

Jackson had spent the previous evening at Mr. Yerby's, where Mrs. Jackson had brought their new baby for the soldier to see. As soon as Jackson heard of Hooker's movements, he sent Smith to Lee's headquarters. "I entered his tent," Dr. Smith subsequently said, “and woke the general. Turning his feet out of his cot, he sat upon its side and I gave him tidings from the front. Expressing no surprize, he playfully said: 'Well, I thought I heard firing, and was beginning to think it was time some of you young fellows were coming to tell me what it was all about. Tell your good general that I am sure he knows what to do. I will meet him at the front very soon.' That single experience, participation in that great episode, would have been a memory rich enough for most mortals, but it was only the preliminary. On the night of May 1-2 Captain Smith was sent by General Lee on an errand to A. P. Hill, and on his return found headquarters bivouacked on the pinetags under the heavens. He woke General Lee, reported, and had a few moments high fun with the commanding general, who seems to have delighted in teasing Smith. The tired aide then fell asleep on his saddle blanket. What next he saw is one of the great pictures in American history, a picture that none described as he and probably only two or three others were privileged to see-Lee and Jackson planning the famous movement around Hooker' Army that decided the battle and cost Jackson his life. Dr. Smith's own accour: is gripping:

"Some time after midnight I was awak"Ifened by the chill of the early morning hours,

Perhaps, in his modesty, Dr. Smith never would admit the reason for that sudden promotion, but it was plain enough to those who knew Jackson. He had a tenderness for Presbyterian ministers-was not his chief of staff a divine of standing, the Rev. Dr. Major Dabney?-and he was anxious to associate with him men who had ability, background and character. Jackson's topographical engineer, his medical director, his commissary, and his quartermaster were chosen for their technical knowledge. "But the remainder of his assistants," says Henderson, "with the exception of the chief of artillery, owed their appointments rather to their character than to their professional abilities." That was true of James Power Smith.

Of the months that followed, Dr. Smith wrote fully in his "With Stonewall Jackson in the Army of Northern Virginia." He told a score of pretty stories in that fascinating little volume, and he gave to Henderson some of the most charming incidents used by that master-biographer in his matchless study of Jackson. The character of the great "Stonewall" was illuminated and softened in public opinion by the superb memory of Dr. Smith. He recalled

and, turning over, caught a glimpse of a little flame on the slope above me, and, sitting up to see what it meant, I saw, bending over a scant fire of twigs, two men seated on old cracker-boxes and warming their hands over the little fire. I had to rub my eyes and collect my wits to recognize the figures of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Who can tell the story of tha: quiet council of war between two sleeping armies? Nothing remains on record to tel of plans discust, and dangers weighed, and a great purpose formed, except the story of the great day so soon to follow."

Smith did not wake again till broad daylight, when some one kicked him and told him Jackson wanted him. "As I leaped to my feet, the rhythmic click of the canteens of marching infantry caught my ear. A ready in motion! What could it mean?"

He quickly mounted, overtook Jackson and had the honor of riding for a few miles on the last march of that heroic paladin. To his last days Dr. Smith recalled this picture of Jackson: "His cap was pulled low over his eyes, and, looking up from under the vizor, with lips comprest, indicating the firm purpose within, he nodded to me, and in brief and rapid utterances, without a superfluous word, as tho all were distinctly formed in his mind and beyond question, and he gave me orders for our wagon
