They Save Teeth Now
In New Way-By Ending Film
YSatuc lby hTphE Eulai4 4uFo


Millions of teeth are now cleaned in a
new way. You see them everywhere -
white, glistcning teeth. Perhaps they are
teeth you envy. Then make this simple
ten-day test and find out how to get them.
The great tooth wrecker is a viscous
film. You can feel it with your tongue.
1t is ever-present, ever-forming. 1t clings
to teeth, enters crevices and stays.
The tooth paste does not end it. The
ordinary tooth paste does not dissolve it.
So it stays much of it and may do
a ceaseless damage. Most tooth troubles
are now traced to film.

SUFFRAGE HELD Up
IN HOUSE AT DOVER
First Reading Of School Code

Five Hours

Dover, Del, May 1S.-Chanc"s are
very slim indeed that suffrage will come
before the House Of Representatives
today.
The ratification resolution has moi
vet been messaged over from the Sen

This interval has its advantages. as
Il gives the suffragists still more time
In which to work.

who were in town yesterday in behalf
Of suffrage have departed.
Following the rather disappointing
showing made by suffrage in yesterday 8

smother adjournment may be taken by
the Legislature before the suffrage rati.

Nste to the House for vote.
Governor Townsend statement that
another drive is tn be made upon the
legislators through their constituents
would seem TO indicate this. There also
are several appropriations 10 20 to
committee. Included is that defraying
the expenses Of this special session.
These bills must bc acted upon by COM
mittec so they may be presented mt the
final day Of tho session. Another ad
iournment. il is pointed out, would
permit this.
No DAYS may he wasted with i'm
punity. as the law provides that special
sessions must not consume more than
thirty days and this one has accounted
for twenty five already. Only five moro
days remain including today.
Suspense Is Severe
Suffrage supporters arc determined
and updiscouragcd. The suspense has
been severe. however. For n while It
was rumored yesterday tho rules would
be suspended and the matter put to tho

Why Teeth Discolor

That film is what dscolors not the
teeth. 1t is the basis of tartar. 1t holds
food substance which fermcnts 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 tho chief cause of pyor-
rhea. All these troubles are constantly
increasing, despite the wide use of tho
tooth brush. And the reason lies in that
clinging film, and brushing leaves much
of it intact. -
Dentists long have known this. They
urge periodic dental cleaning to remove
film and tartar. And dental science has
for years sought way to constantly
combat film.
That way has now been found. Able
authorities have proved it's efficiency by

A Way to Fight Film

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 day by day COM
bat it.
But pcpsin must be activated, and the
usual method is an acid harmful to the
teeth. So pcpsin long seemed impossible.
But science has discovered a harmless
activating method. Convincing tests have
proved this. Now pepsin in this form can
be every day applied. And in tooth
paste which conforms to every modern
dental requirement.
