The New-Day Method

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the d.
gestant of albumin. The film is al
luminous matter. The object of Pepso-
dent is to dissolve it, then to constantly
combat it.
But pepsin must be activated, and the
usual agent is an acid harmful to the
teeth. So this method long seemed barred.
Science, however, has discovered HARM
less activating method, and active pepsin
can be every day employed.
Authorities agree that this tooth paste
meets other new requirements. So it
represents in three ways the ideal modern
dentifrice. And it means a new era in
teeth cleaning.

How Film Wrecks Teeth

1t is this flm-coat that discolors NOT
the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. 1t
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 pyor-
rhea.

The Trouble is Film

Teeth become coated with film That
viscous film which you feel with your
tongue clings to teeth. 1t enters crevices
and stays
The tooth brush does not end it. The
ordinary dentifrice does not dissolve it.
The soapy tooth paste even helps it cling.
Twice year, perhaps, you have a
dentist remove it. But in the meantime it
may do ceaseless damage. Thus mil
lions find that, despite all brushing, teeth
discolor and decay.
Tooth troubles have been constantly
increasing. Few people have escaped
them. And the modern dentist knows
that most of them have been caused by
film.

Able authorities have proved it's efficiency

The method is now embodied in a dem

bined two other modernrequisites. Lead
ing dentists everywhere are urging its
daily use. And millions of people have
already discovered its effects.

What It Costs to Be Artistic.

1t isn't wealthy men who are idle,
but wealth itself, which is permanent
ly loafng. Every year hundreds Of
millions of cash go into retirement for
all time. One battleship lays on the
shelf 100000 of good money and
1t stays there. Germany's extra army
measures for a year put s25O,000
out of business for good. New York
city's debt is increasing at the rate of
s65 100000 year. Nearly all of that
money is expended upon non-produc-
tive work. Monuments. boulevards
and works of art, such as $4,000 in
pictures, each year cost the world
about as much as the world digs gold
out of the earth. These are idlers
who never earn any direct interest on
the investment Americas wheat
crop for one year isn't half big enough
to compensate for the wealth that will
be poured into nonproductive works.
