Why Teeth Discolor and Decay

You can feel on your teeth Shiny film.
It is ever-present, ever-forming. 1t clings
to the teeth, gets between the teeth, enters
erevices and stays.
The tooth brush does not end it. The
ordinary dentifrice does not dissolve it. So,
night and day, that film may do ceaseless
damage. And most tooth troubles are now
traced to 1t.

Now Millions of Teeth Are
Kept Winter
Based on Pepsin

Pepsodent Is based on pepsin, the dgestant Of
albumin. The film is albuminous matter. The
object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to
constantly combat It.
Pepsin long seemed forbidden. It must be acti-
vated, and the usual method Is an acid harmful
to the teeth What science has now found Is a
harmless activating method Now pepsin can be
applied twice daily-can be left between the
teeth. And FIVE years have proved that this dis
covery opens new dental era.

They Don't Clean Teeth
They Now Combat the Film

Dental science has found a new way to
clean teeth-a way that combats the, film.
Able authorities have proved it for years
IN clinical and laboratory tests. The facts
are beyond any question. Leading dentists
all over America now urge people to adopt
It, and million or more have done so.

for the most effective debating. Then
it was announced that the Upper

CITY BEAUTIFUL

At recent meeting of the Parent
Teachers Association a movement
was launched to agitate beautifying
Cookeville for the coming summer.
The teachers of the city school are
organizing each room, the children
pledging themselves to grow a flower
bed of their choice or to raise a
patch of vegetables.
The P. T. A. will furnish each child
with a package of seed and at the
set time prizes will be given to the
child having greatest success with
flowers or vegetables.
Cookeville Is rapidly growing
town and is naturally very 'beauti-
full town. Individual effort is needed
to use the natural advantages wisely.
Let's follow the lead of the children
and make our town a reputation for
beauty as well as physical and finan-
cial growth

Farm Federation

Officers and directors of the Indi-
ana Federation of Farmers associa-
tions, who opened a two-day confer
ence at headquarters in indianapolis
Thursday, received a request from j.
R. Howard. president of the American
Farm Bureau federation, to appoint a
representative at once to accompany
a committee composed Of governors
of surplus grain producing states and
one representative from the farmers
organization from each of these states
TO appear before the interstate COM
merce commission next Monday and
make complaint regarding shipment
of grain.
In the communication received by
Lewis Taylor, general secretary, Mr..
Howard stated that Governor Harding
of Iowa has been making compre-
hensive study of the car situation as
affecting grain and coal by water
shipments. He said that the tnforma-
ton clearly indicates that rates on
grain from Chicago or Duluth to Buff
fulo are entirely out of proportion
with other rail rates and that these
low rates are used by the railroads to
get business which could be done by
boats much more economically.
