Remove That Dirty Film

Free ofPepsodent, to

to end film. See below.
Look IN the Glass
fgk Denial 44ssfkorTfieI

Look at your teeth in the glass. Then
brush them In this new way for ten
days and look again.
There is a film on your teeth-a
Shiny film. It clings to the teeth,
enters creviees and stays. The tooth
brush does not end It. The ordinary
tooth paste does not dissolve II. So It
stays between the teeth and elsewhere
and may do a ceaseless damage.
That film is what discolors-not 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 IL Il. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause Of pyor-
rhea. Thus most tooth troubles are
now traced to film.
Dental science, after years Of search
ing. has found a way to combat II. Able
authorities have proved It by many
careful tests. Now the method is en-
bodied IN a dentifrice called Pepsodent
and leading dentists everywhere are
urging its daily use.

everyone who asks. Test It and see

Moulmain. Burma, December 17.- Lieutenant Etienne Poulet. the French man, who recently yielded the Paris Australia air race to Capt. Ross Smith. Is safe here today after a battle in the air with a huge vulture which broke propeller of his maehins and forced him to land on a small plateau in the mountains.
 Lieutenant Poulet left Bangkok, Siam, December 6, two hours after Cap tain Smith, and direct word of his fate had been lacking until last night when he landed here in his machine
 The French aviator. in relating his experience today said he noticed his feathered attacker while flying at an altitude of 1000 feet above mountain peaks in Siam, about 100 miles east of Moulmain. The vulture, he said. cir cled for a while oyer the aircraft, which was making little speed because of weather conditions. then dived straight downward striking and shat tering the right propeller.
 Discovering it would be impossible to continue the journey, Lieutenant Poulet searched the mountain tops for half an hour before suitable landing place could be found. He made his own repairs and continued to this city
