Based on Pepsin

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the
digestant of albumin. The film is
alburninous matter. The purpose of
Pepsodent is to dissolve It, then to
constantly combat it.
But pepsin must be activated, and
the usual agent is an acid harmful
to the teeth. So pepsin long seemed
impossible.
What science has now done IL TO
invent . harmless activatingmet
That method is employed in Pepso-
dent. The result is q tooth paste
which will do what nothing else has
done. And FIVE years of tests seem
to clearly prove that it opens new
dental era.
Pepsodent has been submitted to
every form of clinical and laboratory
test. Dentists everywhere have
watched ito effects and now urge its
daily use. This week we offer 4
test to you. and we ask you to
accept it.

the Rubinstein home to ascertain whether
his information was correct. Upon reach

family lived, we saw small crowd IN
the street. Several armed guards stood
near the main entrance and the yard. We
asked one of the guards what had hap

had been fired from the rabbits balcony
and that the house Was being searched.
There was an officer and a man in plain

German was apparently supervising the

How Jews II Ida suffered. r
During the Bolsheviki regime In Ida
the Jews suffered more than any other
element of the population. All Industry
and commerce was practically at a stand
still. The Boisheviki requisitioned the
factories and shops and imposed heavy
contribution upon the Jewish population.
Many of the Jews were absolutely ruined.

and analysed in detail some of the causes
of the conflict between the Poles and the
Jews.
THE interests of the Jews in this part
of Poland are not Identical with the in.
terests of the Polss,'' he said. "The Poles
are interested in great and free Poland
and the Jews are interested in great
and free Russia. Go out in the streets

can easily understand 1t. from their poin.
of view.
During the war an abnorrnally large
number OF Jewish middlemen has sprung
up in Poland. They have grown rich.
Now the Poles are enragcd at them, and
they will have to so. Many Of them will
have to emiSrate or they Will have to
change their occupations. They will have
to adopt productive occupations. as in
France, England or America.
There Is enti. semitism everywhere: IN
France. in England. especially in Ger
many. AS the Jews of Roland constitute
a larger percentage of the population than
in other countries, 1t is natural that there
is more anti-Semitism in Poland. Besides
there are the special disabilities and dis
ordinations left behind here by the old
Ru. sian government. The artificial
by the Tsarfstic regime and the policy of
classification which was pushed by some
Jews II Poland tactlessly to extremes
all these have aroused Polish national
antasonism to the Jews.
Intense Hatred for Jews.
''of course. there were also many Polish
profiteers. Thsre were many profitsera
in Poland during the war. as In other
countries. but the anita gonism to the Jew =
was intense. During the occurrences in
Wilma last April Jews were killed. But
Poles were also killed 1t is true tina.
more Jews were killed. When we issued
orders that the killing must stop. 1t
stopped. About two weeks later we issued
orders that the Iooting must cease. and
the footing also stopped.
You must not forget that we canno.
control soldiers who go to war and who
know that they may die the next day. The
soldiers come from all elements OF the
people. At the time we occupied Wilma
we had but small number of soldi .rs
here. There was still danger of losing the
city. We modified quickly. We had
means OF selecting our men carefully.
Among them were many undesirables.
