LONDON. Nov. 2o-The repatriation
Of Americans who served in the Brit

Tartar on Teeth
Shows YouLeave the Film
Al SAafsmeDs AsproOsd b. High Dental Authorities

ky High Dental authorities

Film is the basis of tartar. It is the source of dis
colored teeth and decay.
In brushing teeth you leave a Shiny film. You can
feel it with your tongue. It clings to teeth, enters
c~revices and stays. Your tooth paste cannot dis
solve it. Most Doth troubles are now traced to that
clinging film.
That film is what discolors-not the teeth. 1t holds
food substance which ferments and forms acid. II
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 pyorrhea. So the one great
object in cleaning teeth should be to end that film.
Dental science, after years of searching has found
q way to do that. For home use the way is now
embodied in a d~entifrice' called Pepsodent.
The results are known. Convincing, clinical and
laboratory tests have proved them beyond question.
Leading dentists everywhere now advocate its use.

1t is a tiny dot in the midst Of the
sweeping expanse OF the Southern

orally II is wrapped in mist and fog.
This little island remarked Sir
Douglas, lis one Of the wonder spots
Of the world, for to that sanctuary in
an ocean waste flocks the seal and
bird life OF millions Of square miles of
the surrounding wilderness. It is the
great focus OF such life In the Austria
