Your teeth are coated with a film.
When fresh the film Is viscous-you can
feel 1t with your tongue. Later it forms
a cloudy coat. It enters c~revices and
stays. It dims the teeth, and now we
know that 1t causes most tooth troubles.
There is now a way to end II. This
week your druggist, If you ask, will give
you a To-Day Tube. Get it and see what
It does for your teeth. Learn what film
removal means.

"A new dental era has begun, due to
these discoveries. And these are benefts
everyone should share. So you are urged

will see a quick, conspicuous
change

Tobacco stains the 6lm-coat on the
teeth. So men who smoke win see a
great change quickly. But millions of
teeth have that same flm-coat with q
lesser stain.
Chiidren's teeth are most affected
by the film. Young teeth seem most
subject to decay. Dentists advise that
Pepsodent be daily applied from the
time the first tooth appears. Other
wise, decay is almost certain.
Pepsodent brings to wonen whittier,
prettier teeth. But that al cleaner
teeth and safer. The luster comes
from constant film removal and the
high polish given to the teeth.

Dental science has for years studied to
combat film. Ways have now been found
to do il. Able authorities have proved
those methods by many careful tests.
Now leading dentists everywhere are
urging their daily use.

Brings five effects

Pepsodent brings FIVE distinct effects.
All are apparent, some are quick. A few
days use will leave no doubt about them.
And a little book will tell you what each
one means to you.
One Ingredient is pepsin. Another null
tiplies the starch digestant in the saliva
to digest starch deposits that, cling.
The alkalinity of the saliva is multiplied
at once. This is to neutralize the acids
which cause tooth decay.
Two factors directly attack the film.
One of them keeps teeth so highly poll
ished that film canno easily adhere.
Every application brings the Pepsodent
effects. Together they mean tooth pro-
lection like you never had before.

the teeth feel after using. Mark the abb

whiten as the hlm-coat disappears.

Let Michigan Republicans Act.

Testimony in the trial of these charged
with corruption, fraud and conspiracy
In connection with the election of Truman
Fl. Newberry as United States Senator
from Michigan is unfolding a story o
political debauchery exceeding In fla
grancy and boldness even that other his
toric instance of Republican criminahty
in Indiana, where votes were purchased in
blocks of five.t
Decent Republicans, along with other
decent citizens of Michigan, are aghast at
the revelations in the SWORN testimony of
witnesses, some Of whom confess their part
in the scandal. The disclosures contain q
lesson for the people everywhere. If g
great slush fund is to decide between
candidates for public Office, only rich and
unscnupulous men will be successful.
Those who direct the affairs Of the
Republican party owe it to Michigan TO
the nation and likewise to themselves to
help IN the exposure and condemnation
of the criminals who committed this OUT
rage on the ballot. But this they are not
likely to do. They will cling to the cor
ruptly elected Newberry and do all in
their power to keep him in bis purchased
seat IN the United States Senate

HOTEL FACILITIES.

The high cost of construction is not,
apparently, interfering with big building
operations in many large Eastern cities
Hotel building. especially is as much if not
more in way of attracting capitalistic in
vestmcnt than at any time of the ten-year
period preceding the war upheaval. New
York goes right along with plans for sky
scraper hotels, Atlantic City has arrang, d
program of hotel building which will
involve an outlay of between &20, 200, 600
and s30,000,000 and, according TO a
published statement in prominent
Philadelphia paper, when the leaseholds
on a central Chestnut street block expire
in March Of next year twenty-five story

built TO front along that entire block.

of this is in the near prospect. But the
hotel accommodations of city must keep
pace with the growth and development
Of the city in other respects. There
never was previous time when so many
people lived in hotels or when the travel

great as now.

The intelligent and progressive work

Referring to the plans Of development
thus far prepared by the Harbor Commits

ming a has about 100000 popula-
ton, nd about forty miles nearer the
moutl Of ne Delaware River than Phila-
delphia. The Delaware river is very wide
oppos % Wilmington, and the main chan
mel of the river is probably deeper at that
point than further up. Both the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Pennsylvania
Railroads pass through Wilmington, but
while both Of these roads have extensive
harhor termir al at Baltimore for hand
ling Of ocean (; a ghtage, and the Pennsyl-
vania occupies very large portion of
harbor frontage at Philadelphia, neither
road has important harbor terminals at
Wilmington. The potential Importance
of Wilmington as port for ocean COM
merce is apparent, however, TO casual OBJ
servation. As manufacturing center
Wilmington already has attained an i'm
portant place, and mile Of river frontage,
pushed out by bulkhead plan to deep
water, is a betterment that makes for
both manufacturing and foreign COM
MERGE advancement"
This is very handsome recognition
of our port situation and our possibilities,
and il calls FOX ONLY one amendment.
While it may be true that the trunk line
railroads running through our city do not
at present have important harbor ter
minals at Wilmington" they have hold
ings and trackage on the river front that
place such appurtenances within their
grasp whenever there shall be a demand
for them. The Pennsylvania, the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Philadelphia and
Reading all have trackage on the south
side, close to the river front, and the Phila-
ielphia and Reading has had track pier
IN the Delaware river for years.

BOARDING AND PRODUCTION.

boarding is a menace. II n man hides
his savings in a cupboard thefe is that
much less money available Tor production.
Ii he puts them in bank or invests them
in safe securities they help turn out that
much more of the goods he must buy. Ii
people keep their dollars at work, in
stead of boarding them, production IS
speeded up and prices are Influenced
downward.
By the same token, il matters not how
many goods may be produced; il they
are boarded there is bound To be scarcity
and prices can be manipulated by those
who have control over the bulk of supply.
1t, therefore, is important that restric-
tons be placed on credits tn sec that none
of the savings permitted 10 flow through
regular banking channels Is used TO assist
those who hoard any necessary thing for
PEI. ona P ont.
Virtually all large business IS done
on credit and most boarding is on large
scale If proper c,Irbs are placed on credits
and the people save more and don't
hide their savings, ultimately these COM
bined influences should assist greatly IN
bringing prices down. Greater production
and less boarding are two of our greatest
economic needs.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

But these women, as ever, strong, faith

and stripes OF a cruel fate. National bound
aries have little to do with the tides of
emotion which ebb and few in a woman $

her love and loyalty and sacrifice, the same
today as in the beginning.
But for woman there could have been

voted womanhood victory could not have

Ip the factories, IN the homes, IN the
hospitals, in every avenue OF industrial
activity she labored with heroic intensity,
while in the red fields her dear ones laid
down their lives or became MANNED and

PRESS COMMENTS.
RAILROADS ON TRIAL.

The railroads had TO BE- taken over by
the government ~ a war necessity. That
is not debatahle. The increase Of Is per
cent in fares and "a per cent in freight
rates is burdcnrome, though not in pro-
portion to other price increases. The
burinc has grown.
But the people are less concerned with
post-mortems than with prospects. The
capital expenditure Of 81 163, 600, 600 on
the roads in two years, though substantial
is insufficient. They go to their owners, A
President Smith OF the New York Central
says, weakened by their vicissitudes. :"
A gain perhaps more than compensatinx
is the broader view which the public has
learned to take Of railroad problems.
In the vote in Washington and in dis
cushion there and elsewhere il has been
shown that the people do not want gov
eminent ownership of the roads. But they
can swiftly change. AS President Walker
Of the Chicago and Alton warns his asso-
oiates. IF private operation he unsatis-
factory, the threat Of retaking by the
government, this time for good and all,
will hang overhead. The challenge il for
the ablcst railroad minds and courageous
hnAnciers, under adverse conditions, to
render such admirable service that gov
ernment-ownership talk will not be
tolerated"
Everything now depends upon the
spirit Of the men who control and operate
the railroads; upon their breadth, their
energy and their patriotic devotion---not
forgetting the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which figures in control and
operation az the regulating power on
behalf of the people. II is an effort
worthy of the best brains of the country;
and il il is attacked in the general interest
we may pledge to it public support and
hope for IL ultimate success.--New York

THE LABORJNG MAN.
BY Joseph r. Bellew Jr.

Midst mad, fame belching FORCES
And roaring, tireless wheels,
Or deep in earth's recesses
Where daylight never steals,
Far in some wind swept forest
Or Drawing fierce suns tan,
Quick TO the call of duty,
He stands-the laboring mani
What wondrous wealth or power
He holds within his hand
The life of brilliant cities,
The trade Of every land!
Destinies' sway before him,
Monarch he dares TO scan;
Greatest Of mighty rulers
Is he-the laboring man.
Ceaselessly, round about him,
Like wolves about the fold,
Hover the agitators,
Screaming wild views they hold
Bolsheviks, Reds, fanatics,
Seeking the ruin of Law,
Hoping TO Use his sineSs
To feed Destruction's NAV.
God, help him keep the pathway
In this, his testing hour,
Help him TO see the vision
When darkenlng tennpests lowerl
Democracy looks to him
To lead her waiting van.
God, guide him and preserve him.
The honest iaboring man!

James Robinson, superintendent OF
police in Philadelphia, who is not &C
ceptable to1 the Moore administration,
having been an important cog IN the wheel
Of the old Ware machine, has resigned. In
his vaiedictory he makes some interesting
and important statements IN respect OF
the evil of politics in police administra-
ton.
'No police superintendent" says Mr..
Robinson, "can make good so long as
politics interferes with his duties. There
was too much politics in the force; too
much of men Of the force looking TO peo-
pie other than their superior officers for
orders. If politics can be eliminated,
Philadelphia will have the finest police
force in the country. The men are the
best kind of men, but no police official
can get the proper results until every man
in the department from top 10 bottom
comes TO undereta nd that he is IN dis
tinct line of business and that there is
but one boss"
This is a sound and practical deliver
ance. from man who speaks from the
fullness OF experience. For the police
force of Philadelphia, under his superin-
Tendance, was fairly rank with the evil
Of partisan manipulation and political
work. 1t now seems that Philadelphia is
in fair way for complete reform Of its
police service, and that will be good for
the people.
Also, there is warning TO other com
munities in this incident. II is TO ever
guard against permitting the police force
to become in any manner the adjunct of a
political machine.
