Why Teeth Discolor

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 in it. They, with
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.

Based on Pepsin

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the diges-
tant of albumin. The film is albuminous
matter: The object Of Pepsodent is to dis
solve it, then to constantly combat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. 1t must
be activated, and the usual agent is an
acid harmful to the teeth. Dental science
has now discovered a harmless activating
method. And now everyone can fight the
Aim with active pepsin constantly.

That Film on Teeth
Can Now Be Ended in This Wav

You can feel on your teeth a Shiny film,
ever-present, overcoming. That film is the
great tooth wrecker. Dental science now
traces nearly all tooth troubles to it.
The film clings to the teeth, gets between
the teeth, enters c~rcvices and stays. The
tooth brush does not end it. The ordinary
dentifrice does not dissolve it. So millions
find that teeth discolor and decay despite
the daily brushing.

first term house members ever sent
to the legislature from Shawnee

session of 1920.

TOPEKAN'S CHICKEN HATCHERY
Archibald PrehD Establishes Big Plant
at LeaYenworth.

LeavenwOrth, Kan, July 31-The
east four acres of the property former
~ known as the American School of
Poultry Husbandry, at Sixteenth and
Spruce streets, have been purchased
by Archibald Prehn of Topeka. Mr..
PTehn is one of the states best known
poultrymen, as is also his son, who at
present represents the state of Kansas
and the government in the esta blish-
ment of boys and girls poultry clubs
in this state.
Prem, ST., is already in charge of
the property, while the younger man
will came here shortly.
1t is the intention of the Prehns to
condust a hatchery on their property
which includes the large building for
merly the offices of the school, and
the big basement in which are the
/ large incubators with egg capacity
running into the thousands. The in
cubators and building are included in
the sale, are also some poultry
houses. Mr.. Prehn brought from To-
peka about 1000 young Leghorn pull
lets.
The baby chick industry is becoming
the most important in the poultry bust
ness today. The schools incubators
the past Matching season sent out
thousands of chicks from this city by
parcels post and express and despite
the great capacity of the machines the
demand for chicks far exceeded the
supply.

Hays B. White, of Mankato, con-
gresham from the Sixth district, and
farmer and stockman of Jewell coun-
ty. won't have any opponent in the
Republican primaries. While in WASH
ington he keeps his eyes open to the
interests of his constituents, and on
the adjournment of congress he is
putting in his spare time on the farm.
There never was a harder working
man on the farm than the congress-
man. The last few years before he
went to congress, he was in the ice
industry in his town. and up early
and late to bed. he was with the ice
wagon supplying his patrons. The
only holidays he enjoys is when he
can attend a football game or go out
to the farm with gun and dog to
drive rabbits out of the alfalfa fields:
The writer of these notes has known
White for. half a century, and been
entertained at his home. Since he has
moved to Mankato and built a pleas
ant home for himself and family. he
is taking life with more comfort, that
is to say if a congressman can do so
in these strenuous tiRes. In his
campaign his excellent wife is as anx-
/ ious for his success as he is himself.
It is also gratifying to her as well as
to him that she can and is of valuable
service to her husband.
