LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Tessie:
Yours received and contents enjoyed to
the full, as usual but say, Tessie, never
mind trying your luck on making me any
more shirts, as YOU threaten you might One
OF the greatest of the arts Is to know the
proper time to be discouraged, and I'm
fully convinced YOU have a perfect legal
right to feel discouraged as a result of
those two pink shirts YOU made for me-
''If at first you don't succeed try try
again" may be first class battle CRY in
its place, but one of the subjects it don t
apply to Is mems shirts.
And besides, when all's said and done.
I'm a great believer In a woman limiting
her decorating attempts, as far as her hus-
band Is concerned. to the interior decorat-
ing that starts In the kitchen. Look at
Ed Judge. His wife won't let him wear
any necktie that she hasn't personally
selected with her own eagle eye, and Ed
Judge is the most self conscious looking
man around the neck that I've ever saw.
/ admit | generally ask you to come
along when / go to buy new suit, but
that's manly because you've got more
crust than have when il comes to telling
the salesman to Tot out more samples
after he's already dug out about fifteen
suits from the bottom OF fifteen piles
| don't know why they always prefer the
manual labor OF hauling them from the
bottom instead of lifting them gracefully
of the top, hut they do, and after all
maybe it's the only exercise a clothing
salesman gets.
And on the vice versa, what's fair for
the gander is sauce for the goose and YOU
know when you trap me into a millinery
store and ask me which hat YOU should
take out of a possible fifteen, you only do
1T 70 make my pain easier TO bear after
you've made your own selection and /
have TO pay the bill.
Give my love to the baby and shall |
send him hddie kar?
Aft
Joe.
Tomorrow Tessie touches on various
subjects, such as stoutness and the public
deIneanor of engaged coupIes)

Film-the great enemy

But this is more than beauty question Film
ruins millions of teeth. Most tooth troubles are
now traced to it.
Fim is that viscous coat you feel. It clings
to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordi-
nary tooth paste cannot end it, the tooth
brush has left much of it intact
1t is the flm-coat that discolors, not the teeth.
Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food sub
stance which ferments and forms acid 1t

cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in II. They, with
tartar. are the chief cause of pyorrhea. All
these troubles have been constantly increasing,
because brushing failed to end that film.

COLLEGE AS GATE TO WORK.

Not so long ago the college-bred woman
thought only Of going into teaching. But
this is changing, and many young women
are realizing that they stand a far better
chance Of earning good income IN the
business world, if they can take advantage
of college education before they start
earning a living
A great many girls 60 to college as a
social asset They make agreeable friends,
live a delightful life, go in for athletics
and sports, take their studies seriously
enough not to funk anything, and enjoy
themselves thoroughly. This is well, but
it is not enough. II the college did not do
more than offer such attractions, it would
be unworthy of consideration in a coun-
try like ours
There is some reluctance among several
of the colleges to go as far as they might
In actually linking up their work with
what goes outside for the young graduate.
But this is a waning attitude. The pre-

The unique effects

One ingredient of pepsodent is pepsin. An
other multplies the starch digestant in the
saliva to digest starch deposits that cling. The
alkalnity of the saliva is multiplied also. That
to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay
Two factors directly attack the film. One of
them keeps teeth SO highly polished that Aim
cannot easily adhere.
The Pepsodent effects come with every ap-
piicaton. Day by day they fight the teeth's
great enemies And teeth are protected as
they never were before.

Madam Pig WAS not on friendly terms
with the barnyard fowl. In the first place
she was never in the yard and in the second
place Madam Pig felt that the fowl bad
many things that atbclonged to her children.
''Thc idea of feeding those hens and
chicks all of that nice meal, she would
say looking through the bars of her pen.
"Let them scratch for worms; there are
plenty out therel My babies need that
mush"
So Madam Pig would gr,int and fuss in
side her pen while the hens and chicks
thought her a cross old thing, but one day
all this changed, for the farmer went to
town and left the pigpcn door open and
out walked Madam Pig and her children.
