IMMIGRANT Problem Agitates

number Of immigrant aliens IN Novem-

aliens was 36.105. The figures Tor De-

When the actual immigration Into

assimilation may be better understood:
In that period the arrivals reached
the huge total of 3~3,300,103. Tit
high water mark was reached in 1907,
when approximately 1,2S0,000 immi'
grants entered the country. In the
following year, the immigration drop

Why Teeth Discolor and Decay

That film is what discolors mot the teeth. Il
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. Also of many
other troubles, local and internal.

Dental science has found a new way to
clean teeth 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 r G people to adopt
1t, and a million or more have done so.
This method, for home use, is embodied
in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And this
week we offer, to every home in this city,
enough for a ten-day test. For your own
sake you should make that test.
Why Teeth Discolor and Decay
You can feel on your teeth a Shiny film.
It is ever-present, overcoming. It clings
to the teeth, gets between the teeth, enters
c~revices 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 it.

fements ARp,oved BY High Dental authorities
Now Millions of Teeth Are
Kept Whittier
Pepsodent is now applied to millions of teeth
every day. The result is seen everywhere in
glistening teeth. Some Of your friends can show
them.
Those teeth glisten because they are clean. Tho
film is kept removed. Now we ask you to see
how your own teeth look after a ten-day use.
Based on Pepsin
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant Of
albumin. The film is albuminous matter. Tho
object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to
constantly combat it.
Pepsin long seemed forbidden. It must be acti-
waited, and the usual method is an acid harmful
to the teeth. What science has now found is a
harmless activating method. Now pepsin can DO
applied twice daily-can be left between the
teeth. And FIVE years have proved that this dis
covery opens a new dental era.

FALL OF REDS PREDICTED.
General Wrangel May Head New
Government

Government.
Washington. Oct. 13-There is eX-
pectancy. on the part of both state
department. and diplomatic observers
here that bolsheyism in Russia viii
collapse in the coming winter, and
American officials are most interest
ed in what may take its place. Re-
ports to the department indicate
that there is recrudescence of
zenstvo power and functionrng. and
1t is hoped from these organizations
may be evolved central authority
which will obtain the support of all
the people.
There is a possibility, 1t is pointed
out, that anarchy might attend the
death of bolsheyism In Russia and
conditions thruout the soviet areas
become worse, even. than they are
today. 1t is considered questionable
however. whether it would be expedi-
ent for the powers to intervene in
Russia altho there should be general
chaos and anarchy, as a strong faith
is felt IN the genius Of the Russian
people and their capacity to set up
eign interference or assistance.
Reports reaching the state depart
ment Indicate that General Wrangel
is receiving the support OF the
masses wherever he goes in south
Russia, and he is increasing his au-
thority and popularity by acts which
are winning the esteem OF the peas
ants especially, among these acts be-
ing the subdivision of large estates
and the giving of land to the peas
ants.
1t Is felt by officials here that
General Wrangel is winning the con-
fidence of the masses and that he
may be asked by Zemstyos or other
local authorities TO assume the head
ship of the government of Russia at
the final downfall of bolshevism.
