Growth of Border Friendship
LAREDO, June 21—Fi—Down
the lazy Rio Grande from El Paso
to Brownsville there is a new trend
in U. S.-Mexican relations
It is one of friendliness. The land

Reports from Mexico City and
Washington indicate governments of
both nations may be entering a
phase of cooperation and under- |
standing in efforts to solve prob-
lems arising from the flame, of
warring Europe.
Oil men hope this new feeling
may result in a satisfactory settle-

“Your Teeth
Can Be Whiter/"
Give them a twice-weekly "special"
with LIMON JUICE AND SALT
Yes, under that dingy stain are glistening white teeth. And it’s
simple to restore them to that natural beauty. Just add this extra
care, twice a week, to your regular brushing.
All you do is squeeze lemon juice on your toothbrush, add a pinch
of table salt and use as a polish. Do this at least twice a week.
Stains and discoloration will begin to disappear - your mouth will
feel fresher — cleaner! (Men: smoke stains can’t stay!)
But do it regularly — that’s the important thing! Set two days each
week to brush four teeth with lemon and salt. Get Sunkist Lemons
and keep them on hand to help you improve your appearance with
whiter teeth and a brighter smile
