Attract Young to State Fair, Danielson Plan Secretary in Annual Report Shows Last Exposition Profitable — Graff ' Wants Help. Lincoln, Jan. 16.—(Special.)—Al though the extreme heat cut the state fair attendance In 1*22 to below the record, last year's Nebraska exposi tion was nevertheless a big success. Secretary E. R. Danielson told the Nebraska state board of agriculture In his annual report. Mr. Danielson suggested particularly that the state fair should be made attractive to the b'ounger generation. He outlined the balanced program of •'durational and recreational activities of the fair and urged further development of the part that appeals to the coming genera tion. ■ Mr. Danielson showed that while on the books a deficit is shown this year, that in reality a large amount had been put into permanent Im provements and maintenance and that the fair really paid out. The financial report for the past year shows receipts of $166,739.57 and expenditures of $177,953.22. The larg est receipts were $75,131.50 for tickets and $25,506.45 for concessions. President Charles Graff of Bancroft In his annual address urged more help from the state legislature In the way of new buildings and permanent improvements and matptenanee. ^ He suggested that the pass evil be given thought with the view of elimi nating many of the passes now given and declared the physical plant of the state fair to be worth $1,000,000 now. Mr. Graff said that after four years' trial he was convinced that “the de partment of agriculture should V>e chloroformed and the people given re lief from a regiment of inspectors and regulators whose chief qualifications are In quite regularly drawing their salaries and nosing around in other people's business." m/t High Court Sustains Billings’ Sentence Liincoln, Jan. 16.—(Special.)—Evi dence which the defense contended was obtained in an unlawful manner Is Vuled admissable by the supreme .toujrt which today affirmed the sen ■tene^ ,of Charles Billings* who was given 'a fine of $500 and 30 (lays .1u.il term on a liquor charge In Ante lope county.

Now millions show them. You see them everywhere. People are combating film. Tooth troubles were almost uni versal. Now people combat the cause in a scientific way. Won't you now learn what brought that change about? Film—the enemy Film is the great tooth enemy —that viscous film you feel. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. It absorbs stains, then forms dingy coats. Tartar is based on film. That's why teeth lose their luster. Film holds food substance which ferments and forms acids. It holds the acids in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. That’s how tooth troubles come. The new methods Now we daily fight that film. Dental science, after long research, found two effective ways. One acts to curdle film, one to remove it, without any harmful scouring. Able authorities proved those methods. Then a new-type tooth paste was created, based on mod em research. Those two great film combatants were embodied in it ^—■■—> We Pay For Your Test a See Coupon “ ■ — Avoid Harmful Grit PppaodfBl curdles the film and . removes It without harmful scouring.
