NOW! PROOF THAT BRUSHING TEETH RIGHT AFTER EATING WITH COLGATE DENTAL CREAM HELPS STOP TOOTH DECAY! Exhaustive Research by Eminent Dental Authorities Proves How Using Colgate Dental Cream Helps Stop Tooth Decay Before It Starts! Now, the toothpaste you use to clean your breath while you clean your teeth, offers a proved way to help stop tooth decay before it starts! 2 years' continuous research at leading universities — hundreds of case histories— makes this the most conclusive proof in all dentifrice research on tooth decay! Colgate's contains all the necessary ingredients, including an exclusive patented ingredient, for effective daily dental care. No risk of irritation to tissues and gums! And no change in flavor, foam, or cleansing action! 26 No Other Dentifrice Offers Proof of These Results! Modern research shows tooth decay is caused by mouth acids which are at their worst right after eating. Brushing teeth with Colgate's as directed helps remove acids before they harm enamel. And Colgate's penetrating foam reaches crevices between teeth where food particles often lodge. No dentifrice can stop all tooth decay, or help cavities already started. But brushing teeth with Colgate Dental Cream as directed is a safe, proved way to help stop tooth decay!

"Surprisingly enough, rides were pretty frequent on the Alcan," he said. "I remembered to shave every four days. That way people were more apt to pick us up." On the whole, the two travelers were lucky, but they broke down and went "ritzy" and boarded a train when they arrived at Okotoks in the province of Alberta, Canada. They weren't tired — it was just that no matter what they did, for one reason or another, people were refusing to stop for them. The captain tried shaving oftener, but that didn't seem to help. But even with all that, the Alcan trek took him and Brownie a mere twenty days to complete. Arriving in Minneapolis he immediately recognized the call to high adventure. Understand, Bob wasn't destitute — he was just having fun. He spent one hundred and seventysix dollars for a seventy -pound canoe which he bought in the Twin Cities and, from there, he pushed off into the Mississippi River — heading south. Seventeen days later found him four hundred miles downstream in Davenport, Iowa. "I averaged forty miles a day whenever the wind was with me, and only twenty when it was against me," he smiled. Their food problems were again solved by fishing. Every afternoon about four he pulled up to the bank and set up camp for the night. Possibly because the water was calm, fishing was best at that time of day and Bob usually managed to haul in a good catch. Only once during the entire trip was he marooned by rough water. On that day he lounged about with Brownie and "just thought." At the end of the forty-first day, having shipped his canoe from Davenport to Chicago, the adventurer arrived by train at Chicago's LaSalle Street station where he was greeted by his father, an insurance broker, his brother Ray and another doctor-brother Jack. After spending some time in Chicago with his family, Bob planned to continue on his journey down to the Florida base. As to what he was going to do with Brownie, Bob said, "She's going right to Tampa with me. She's some hound, she is." The one thing Bob is afraid will be missing in Tampa is a piano. The young doctor is an accomplished pianist and, while in Alaska, played in a small sweet-swing band. But even if there is no piano at the base, Bob says, "I guess I'll get in a few licks while I'm at home."
