 Two months and a. half have now dragged along and still nothing has been done to repair the damage. The repair work should have been done the week after the carnival left.

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin. The film is albu n1inous matter. The object of Pepso- dent is to dissolve it, then to constantly combat it.
 Pepsin long seemed impossible. It must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. But science has discovered harmless acti- vating method. Now activated pcpsin can be applied, night and morning, to combat that film.
 Leading dentists everywhere are now advising Pepsodent. Countless people have already adopted it. And trial tubes are offered everywhere to show others what it does.
 Send the coupon for lo-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the sliny film. See how the teeth whiten as the fixed film disappears.
 Let your own mirror show you what Pepsodcnt means to your teeth. Then : decide for yourself about it. Cut out the coupon now.

CONTROLLING COAL USERS.
 Practically simultaneously with the nnouncement that there is good chance for finishing the strike of coal miners which has been going on since the early part of November comes the statement that the Fuel Administra- ton is prepared to close down certain factories in New England for a part tries will be allowed only a limited amount of coal, and that heat and light must be curtailed after four o'clock. in the afternoon. It is eN- pected that the restrictions Will not apply to those industries that nave d. large supply of coal on hand and Will ever, those who make use of the SOU coal in their 'plants win nave to watch we'll their coal-bins, as there may be little chance to obtain more of the product after thelr own mas disapneared. record of large usage previously will not prove A convincing argument for an extra "a ationing of coal later on
 There is an encoura ging side to the situa ton in the promise that a set tlement will soon be effected. There is to be a meeting of the miners this afternoon to consider terms which, it is said. will be accepta ble. Mean turning out a fair supply in some fields; not all, however. We must make up for the shortage occasioneu by the cessation of any work at all for long period before We are again on ''easN street, even though 100 per cent. production is resumed at once. every one Of us-before we may meet our living i9s's with a degree Of reason.
 The strike of miners has gained nothing and has lost a great dea l from the individual pockets of the nation. The operators have undoubt- edly lost money; large plants, repre- senting a great outlay of ca pital, have been lying useless; the miners have lost, their pay has ceased, whatever it was; the public will lose in higher price for coal made certain Dy the in creased demand; the capitalist, or manufacturer, will lose in decreas sed production, higher operating expenses and shutdowns, after which the pub lie will again suffer through the loss in pay occa stoned by the shutdowns
 Possibly it is we'll that the coal strike came bout, despite the loss from the economic lesson taught by the miners should be felt by all. The rule of cause and effect will be more obvious to everyone in need of coal at any time, directly or indirectly Strikes-loss of production in the stllke center-loss of production in the industries affected indirectly loss of pay to the men in the indus- trles-loss of money to everyone who does business with the men who haya lost pay. These losses must be ma q e up all along the line-more costs all around. Simple, isn't it? And absolutely true.

F. Q. SCRIPTURE.

In business in this city for over forty years, connected with the Sovereigns Trading Company for that length of time and a resident here for nearly his lifetime, F. 0. Scripture passed on yesterday. removing an other of the citys pioneers. He was seVentNone years of age and had seen the City of New Britain grow from little more than a hamlet to i5s present size, while he lent his abili- ties to aid in it's progress along the lines to which he was best suited.
 The Venera ble resident, to all intents and purposes, died in harness. Despite his years. his mental activi- ties kept him at his post with the grocery pany-a post which he had left for scarcely a day in the long time that he held it. Faithfulness to his work is sufficient testim ony as to the calibre of the man; the esteem in which he was held here was an indica tion of his standing among men,

Teeth Are Ruined ~
 By Film Millions of Them MM H< ut>nus Authorities NW&NM lIGN
A To-Day Tube of Pepso- Tna dent, to show you how to ~ A M end film. See below.
On Your Teeth Now

There is now on your teeth slimy film. You can feel it with your tongue. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays.
 The tooth brush alone doesn't end it. The ordinary tooth paste does not dis solve it. So month after month 1t stays there 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 Tn contact with the teeth to cause decay.
 Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar. are the chief cause of pyor- rhea. Most tooth troubles are now traced directly to that film.
 Dental scientists have for years sought way to end film. They have known that brushing could not save teeth if it left that film upon them. Now that film combatant has been found. Convincing tests, under able authorities, have proved it beyond question. The method is now embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And we supply it free for testing to anyone who asks.

 Dear Sir:-At a meeting Of the park board last evening your letter of the 18th was read and we heard the report of our superintendent. It appears that the rest oration of the park will proceed som ething like this: After all your structures are out of the way the ruts. etc, will be filled ground is hard this early winter we will compost the entire tract where the damage has been. In the spring. there will be some seeding and turf ing to do over such areas as show no grass and the whole will be well rolled This opera ton requires time I wrote you and therefore could not be done a once by any contrac- tor. Wainright estimates the above operation will cost us about S1.50O %
 "Our board suggests therefore that your committee turn this sum over to us for restora tion. we to keep a separate account of time and material spent for this particular work and after it is complete turn ba elk to the city or our committee any monev not actually used. If this is satisfac tory you can arrange with Wainrght to place this sum in the hands of the com ptroller to my account of our board. "Yours very truly,

STATE PROMISES
IMPROVEMENTS
IN YUMA ROAD

In company with Supervisor K. A.
Holt, State Highway Engineer w. W..
Patch of Los Angeles and l. f. Vor-
hees of Pasadena, the latter in charge
of the disbursement of State High
way funds, yesterday inspected the
Yuma road. The object of the trip
was to determine the improvements
needed in the sandhills section of the
road, including also the necessity of
additional wells along the route.
The party will also make recon-
mendations for the construction of
additional plank roads through the
sandhills, about three miles in length
in one stretch and for about mile
in another section of the road, which
are advised by Supervisor Holt.
At the present time the road Off
cials are supervising the construction
of part of the unfinished road be-
tween Ell Centre and San Diego, now
under way in the Mountain Springs
and Descanso district.

COLLECTOR JOINS
CHORUS AGAINST
LUXURY TAXES

The application of the internal re-
enue tax on what are considered lux
uries, under the schedule of the new
law, is so manifold and intricate that
Collector Carter has joined in the
chorus that favors the repeal of that
portion of the law fixing a tax on
luxuries. The enforcement of the law
is a continuous source of bitterness
and unfriendliness to the government
on the part of the taxpayers, it is
said, and the amount of money that
it is possible to collect is not in keep
ing with the quantity of bad blood ac-
cumulated by an attemept to enforce
it, officials say.
Under the present requirements, the
government is at the mercy of dealers
who, of course, collect the tax from
purchasers, but the system of keeping
accounts, is so intricate and involved
that it is doubtful whether large per
cent of the tax is received by the
government

COUNCIL s MOVE
ON A|RDOMES
VERY UNPOPULAR

Great dissatisfaction was expressed
on the street today by reports that
an effort would be made in the city
council to amend the building ordi-
nance in such a manner as to prevent
the utilization during the summer
months of airdomes by motion pic
ture theatres.
The opposition voiced was enhanced
by the claims of the theatre managers
that the legislation reported to be
contemplated would put them out OF
business during the hot weather and
thus leave the city without shows as
amusements. They assert that un-
less the airdomes can be used they
will be compelled to close shop, as the
patronage of theatre shows during the
height of the summer would be negli-
gible. =,
At the last meeting of the council
the city attorney was instructed to
institute the preliminary proceedings
for the paving of the connecting link
between the city limits and the end
of the highway on West Main street:
An ordinance was also discussed
for the purpose of eliminating bill

ARMY OFFICIAL:
PROBES VALLEY
POSSIBILITIES

The possibilities of the Imperial
Valley as a reservoir of raw ma
terials for feeding a projected
huge army and navy base at San
Diego, which is one of the pre-
pardeness plans of Uncle Sam,
were under the official scrutiny
of high official of the War
Department yesterday.
The visitor was Colonel +. G..
kellOnd, member of the General
Staff of the u. S. army at Wash
ingtOn, who during the war had
charge of the greater part of the
work of supplying the fighters
with sustenance, clothing and
other materials.
1t is not known what cOnclu-
siOns the officer will reach, but,
from statements made by men,
bers of his immediate party, it
is thought that he was more than
favOrably impressed with what
he saw and that the Valley will
soon be officially looked upon as
a base of supplies for Uncle Sam
at war.
w. W. Austin, chairman of the
Imperial Valley committee of the
San Diego Chamber of Com
merce, and James H. Aft, indus
trial secretary, were important
coast visitors to the valley today.
They are here in connection with
the work of the boost body of
that city.
