That clingng film resists the tooth brush. 1t gets
into crevices and stays. Every soapy dentfrice has
alka in it, and alkaH helps it to make it more dense
more resistant to the brush.
That is why the tooth brush has failed. It has
simply removed the debris. But now way has been
found 70 remove the film too-a dainty way called
Pepsodent. And we ask you to prove it by one

You Fail to End

Despite the daily brushing, teeth discolor
and decay. Nearly everybody knows that.
Tartar still accumulates. Every little while
one must visit a dentist to have the teeth
cleaned by machine. And statistics show that
decay and pyorrhea were never so prevalent
as now.
The tooth brush has failed to save the
teeth. But all for the lack of something which
science now supplies.

Three years ago way was discovered to
make pepsin act on that film. The film is
albun1inouS, and pepsin digests albumin. The
object in using it is to digest and dissolve the
film. Then to constantly combat it so it
never can harm again.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. It must
be activated, else it is inert The usual activat-
ing agent is an acid, which is harmful to the
teeth.
But science has now supplied harmless
method of activating it. Five governments
have already granted patents on this efficient

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost Of small jar Of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice Of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing three
ounces Of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets In,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that lem
on juice Is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
Smoothener and beautifier.
Just try It'll Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and

front. Both these peculiarities Of the
new styles appear in the suit Of silk
jersey at the left Of the picture above.
At the right spring model in poiret
twill manages to achieve an ideal
street suit within the prescribed limit
Of goods allowed. The plaits that
form the panels in the skirt-one in
the front and one at the back, are very
shallow. Braid outlines the slit pocket
and the short half-belt, and it serves
for the neat decoration Of the sleeve.
The coat fastens at the waistline with
two buttons. Its collar of white wash
satin is almost indispensable this sea-
son.
In suit 1t sometimes happens that
the coat outwears the skirt. In this
case q new skirt in plaid, to be worn
with the leftover coat, points out one
path to economy. 1t takes little alter
ing to convert last years coat into
this years style.

For Ankle Beauty

If the flesh Of the ankles is to be
reduced, apply camphorated oil, rub.
bing 1t in, while the skin is soft and
the pores open from a bath, with
strong, vigorous strokes. Then bind
the ankles tightly with a linen that has
been soaked in oil. This bandage
should be drawn as close as possible,
but care must be taken to avoid stop
ping the circulation. When the ankles
are too slender for beauty, after taking
the hot foot bath massage their sur.

linen soaked in the same solution. II

your ankles, follow this method care

Perhaps 1t is because hats continue
to be close-fitting and set well down
on the head that the coiffure for every
day remains simple. There appears
to be only one feature that is insisted
upon as a style element of the Golf
fures of today and that is, that the
ears are to be covered or nearly COW
cred by the hair. The brow may be
bare, with the hair combed directly
back, and this is the rule for youthful
faces, or 1t may be partially covered,
but no colffure shows more than the
lobe of the ear.
Loosely weaved hair looks especially
well in these simple styles In hair
dressing, whether the hair is combed
straight back or shows a shallow part
ing. Sometimes a parting Is indicated
ut the middle of the forehead where
small strand Of hair is drawn back
and the remainder pulled little for
ward over the brOws and ears as shown
In the coiffure to the left of the pic
ture. When a wide parting is more
becoming, as 1t is to many faces,
shallow part is placed either to the
right or left of the brow, whichever
Is found the more becoming. A part
to the right appears in the other Golf
fure pictured. Quite often the hair
is arranged in long puff just above
the ears and this is spread so as to
partially cover them and pinned to
place with invisible wire pins. The
hair over the ears Is about all Of 1t that
