NO MARTYRDoM FOR PEOPLE.

The situation in Germany today. following the
shooting down thousands Of citizens in connection
with the attempt the reactionares get hold of
the government raises some interesting questions
the subject of martyrdom.
We have been told that execution Of the man chief

death and burdoned humanity for century would
make a martyr of him. Now may hear that eXecu-

there was the act the monarchistic rebels who

way to end that film, and the way has
now been found.
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the di
gestant of albumin. The film is albumi-
nous matter. The object of Pepsodent
is to dissolve it, then to constantly COM
bat it.
The way seems simple, but t is not
Pepsin must be activated. The usual
method is an acid harmful to the teeth,
SO pepsin long seemed impossible.
What has been found is harmless

applied twice daily and left between the
teeth. And millions of teeth are now
being cleaned as they never were before.

You can feel on your teeth a Shiny film.
1t is ever-present, overcoming. 1t clings
to teeth, enters crevices and stays.
The tooth brush doesn't end it. The
ordinary dentifrice cannot dissolve it. So
it accumulates and may do a ceascless
damage.
Most tooth troubles are now traced
TO that film And now it IS known why
brushed teeth still discolor and decay.
The reason lies in that clinging film
which the old cleaning methods omit.
Cause of Decay
That film is what discolors-not the
teeth. It is the basis Of tartar. 1t holds
food substance which ferments and forms
acid. 1t holds the acid IN contact with
the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, arc the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Thus the film is the teeth's chief
enemy.

''EARTHBOUND" AT
PALACE THEATRE

"Earthbound," by Basil King, is
without doubt the highest achieve
ment in the history of motion pic
lures. 1t is different from anything
you ever saw either on the screen or
stage. 1t is enthralling in it's appeal.
From the standpoint of masterful di-
rection and finished acting it towers
above anything that has been done
in the past. We are showing "Earth-
bound" starting Tuesday, Nov. 16,
for three days, because we believe it
to be one of the greatest motion pic
lures We have ever had the privilege
OF offering to the public.
Everything that went into the
making Of this picture from the Sc
lection of the cast down to the small
est detail in the settings was Judged
by the highest standards of art Per-
fection was the goal Of the produc-
ers. Nothing was considered good
enough. 1t had to be the best that
genius and. human ingenuity could
make it before it was accepted That
IS why it required a solid year to pro-
duce this master picture. But the
result justifies all the time and care
and money that was spent on it, for
"Earthbound' stands out as the su-
preme achievement of the screen.
"Earthbound" drew the worlds
largest theater crowd at the Capitol
theater in New York. Broadway was
jammed for three blocks. Six thou
sand people stormed the box office
between p. m. and 1880 D. m. The
police reserves from the 47th street
station were rushed out to form the
immense crowd into tro lines that
stretched out for a total length of
threea Blocks; 1921 paid admissions
were recorded during the first days
three performances, which txmashes
every attendance record since the
birth OF motion pictures. T. -
James A. Cook, manager of the
Palace theater, announces that
"Earthbound" is one of the greatest
pictures he has ever seen, and it is
only at big cost that he is able to
present this finest production in
years to the people Of Imperial val
ley. "Earthbound" has just closed
six-week engagement lat Miller's
Theater in Los Angeles, breaking all
previous house records, and in order
to accommodate everyone who will
want to witness this greatest work of
art, "Earthbound" will be shown here
at the Palace for three days, starting
tomorrow.

a Vitagraph production featuring
