Brings five effects

Pepsodent brings five distinct effects.
All are apparent, some are quick. A few
days use will leave no doubt about them.
And little book will tell you what each
one means to you.
One ingredient is pepsin. Another null
tiplies the starch digestant in the saliva
to digest starch deposits that cling.
The alkalinity of the saliva is multiplied
at once. This is to neutralize the acids
which cause tooth decay
Two factors directly attack the film.
One of them keeps teeth so highly pol
ished that film cannot easily adhere.
Every application brings the Pepsodent
effects. Together they mean tooth pro-
lection like you never had before.

Says Demand Shut Off.

THE high rates for call money in
New York have thus shut off large
part of the investment demand for
securities. which during the past IL
months, largely because OF these dis
turbinE conditions, have been forced
down to the lowest prices reached in
40 years.

money rates in New York had been
maintained at six per cent or at the
maximum rates which are charged in
other money centers, as / believe
could have been done with a reason
able degree of cooperation upon the
part of the New York banks, the I'M
precedented shrinkage in security
prices In the past IL months would
not have taken place and the appar-
ent loss OF billions of dollars in val

Sworn reports to his office, Mr..
Williams said, showed that more
than 1000 loans had been made by
the New York banks between Oct.

OF the largest banks, loans made at
those rates and between those dates
aggregated more than 100000, 900,
he said. These figures, he added,
represent only the loans made by
the banks for their own account and
not for their correspondent banks.

1T is no part OF the function OF

when much operations produce con-

individuals and investors generally
are drawn away from legitimate in

the shares and bonds Of existing en-
terprises by the prospect OF ten to
20 per cent interest.
The effect OF these rates lie seen
when the general managers or execu =
tives of railroads or other large cor
porations visit New York to raise
money necessary for the redemption
OF retiring loans or for the extension
and promotion OF new business. The
bankers and bond houses solemnly

Frisch Shines for N. Y.

CHICAGO, July 9.-For the second
time in two days McGraw's Giants
were forced to bow to their time hon
ored Cub rivals, though there was no
dishonor in to-day's defeat. Chicago
won the second tilt of the series by a
score of to 2, but not until the end
of thirteen bitter innings and not until
more than one scare had been thrown
into the North Side fans, despite the
fact that their Great Alexander was on
the mound for the home team. 1t was
the forty-third time that the great
Alex had faced the Giants, and he
scored his twenty-second victory over
the McGraw men.
1t is true that Alexander slightly
outpitched Jess Barnes. But the lat
ter accounted for sterling exhibition
that would have won nine times in ten
and undoubtedly would have taken the
measure Of any of Fred Mitchell's

innings, too. 1t was Davy's triple off
the fence in center field that paved the
way to Chicago's first run in the second
inning and made it an uphill struggle
for Barnes and his cast. Robertson
scored on Barber's single to left. 1t
was this same Barber, by the way, that
broke the game up in the thirteenth.
