session and republicans as well as
democrats on the house naval COM

wants the building authorized now

Mothers Innocence.

 At last it occurred to me that would like to- look in the window seat. I hated to request the mother to get off tho seatt, so I fingered a few mo- ments longer. Then I heard the door-bell; the son had come! Unwil- lingly she left tho room and went downstairs, perhaps to have q few words with her son in private.
 % As soon as she went out I told my companion to lift up the cover of the seat. He did. He took out a black metal box, but it was locked.
 Mother and son then entered I asked her if she knew where her daughter kept the key for the box. She did not know, but said that her daughter would return any nom ent.
 Having finished our search, I was ready to go downstairs with them for further consultation.
 A soon as we were seated in the li- brary the mother began to protest ve- hemently that her daughter was in nocent of all reasonable doings and that her daughters friendship with Dr. Muck was due to her love of mu- sic. She did not suspect that her daughter had already suggested to

In tho meantime l got into communication with the bank and requested them not to allow anyone to remove the con tents of her deposit without my per mission. On the following day at the appointed time Miss Marvin and her mother and brother met me and handed to me these letters and through our New York bureau other letters were securd.

Film is What Discolors

You can feel on your teeth sliny film. It is ever-present, ever-forning. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays.
 The tooth brush doesn't end it. The ordinary dentifrice cannot dissolve it. So it accumulates and may do a ceaseless damage.
 Most tooth troubles are now traced to that film. And now it is known why brushed teeth still discolor and decay. The reason lies in that clinging film which the old cleaning methods omit.
 Cause of Decay
 That film is what discolors-,1ot the teeth. It is the basis of tartar. It/holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.
 Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor- rhea. Thus the film is the teeth's chief enemy.
 It Can Be Ended
 Dental science has for years sought
New Britain herald., 1919-11-18

way to end that film, and the way has now been found.
 Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the di- gestant of albumin. The film is alburni- nous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to constantly com bat it.
 The way seems simple, but it is not. Pepsin must be activated. The usual method is an acid harmful to the teeth, so pepsin long seemed impossible.
 What has been found is a harmless activating method. Now pepsin can be applied twice daily and left between the teeth And millions of teeth are now being cleaned as they never were before.

Watch the Effects

We ask you to watch the effects. Pre- sent the coupon for To-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the slinny film. See how teeth whiten as the fixed film disappears.
 Compare this method with the old. Read the facts about it. Then decide for yourself what is best.
