Dental science. after years
of searching. has found a way
to combat film. Years Of
careful tests under able au-
thorities have amply proved
its efficiency. Now leading
dentists all over America are
urging its adoption. Il is
now used daily on millions of
teeth.
This film combatant is en-
bodied in a denifrice called
,Pepsodent. And "a To-Day
Tube is offered to every home
for testing.
Pepsodent is based on
pepsin. the .digestant Of albu-
min. The film is albuminous
matter. The object of Pepso-
dent is to dissolve it, then to,
day by day. combat it.
For long this method
seemed impossible. Pepsin
must be activated. and the
usual agent is an acid harm
full to the teeth. But science
has discovered a harmless
activating method. And that
discovery opens a new teeth
cleaning era.
The results are quickly ap-
parent. A ten-day test is con-
vincing. We urge you to
make it at our cost and learn
what clean teeth mean. Lest
you forget. cut out the coupon

TOR the hostess who wishes 10
r. entertain guests at luncheon
or supper without the help
of q maid the chsfing dish is most
serviceable. Any food that can be
cooked In a double boiler or sauce
pan may be prepared in the chafing
dish.
To be successful such a meal
must be prepared easily and grace
fully. The table must be I'm per.
feet order and the ingredients
measured and on the table when
the guests are seated. ~
Since a good white or brown
sauce Is the foundation of 30 many
chafing dish recipes I shall give
two simple recipes which can be
made richer by the addition Of
cream, eggs or stock at the discre-
tion of the hostess.
The following menu for q chafing
dish luncheon illustrates how even
a semi-formal luncheon may be
planned:
Fruit Cocktail,
Creamed Chicken with or without
Mushrooms,
Saratoga Chips,
Parker House Rolls,
Tomato Salad. French Dressing,
q Small Chocolate Cakes or Eclairs,
Coffee or Tea.
And here are q number of care
fully tested chafing dish recipes
which every hostess will find most
acceptable:
Plain White Sauce.
KHELT tablespoons butter, add
lV4 2 tablespoons -four, Y tea
spoon paprika and " teaspoon salt
and blend we'll. When frothy add
/ cup milk or other liquid (cream
or white stock and stir constantly
until thick and creamy.
Plain Brown Sauce.
KTELT and brown tablespoons
lV1 butter, taking care that II
does not burn. Add 2h table
spoons flour, u teaspoon paprika
and n teaspoon salt and stir rap
idly until flour is delicately
Drowned. Add cup brown stock
or milk II stock is not available,
and stir until smooth and thick.
Dreamed Sardines.
DRAIN 1 can Of choice sardines.
- Remove the larger bones from
the sardines and then mash the
fish. Melt tablespoons butter,
add u cup fine stale bread crumbs
and mix thoroughly. Add 1 cuu
rich milk and stir until thick and
smooth. Add sardines, finely
chopped hard-cooked eggs and salt
and paprika to taste.

Buying White Goods
By Mrs. Christine Frederick,
The Distinguished Authority HeussAoid ESie'sncy


a T this time OF year almost
~ every large drygoods and
q q speciality shop advertises
special sales OF white goods" II
is then that the thrifty housewife
Is given special inducements for
the purchase OF towels. table
napery and white wearing apparel
at a considerable saving.
This year II is more important
than ever for the woman shopper
. to know more about the textiles
she is buying, and how TO select
the best quality. For to-day the
price OF all cotton and linen is
soaring. Even simple dishtowel
costs as much as what an entire
Summer dress could be bought for
before the war. }e1
Cotton prices are high to-day
for two chief reasons. The grower
In the South has found out that he
can get a higher price for his
product. He used to think that
Is cents or 20 cents was good
price for the raw product, but to-
day he is getting 35 cents. or there
abouts. Naturally the price of the
finished material is proportionate-
ly high. The second reason is in
volyed in the shortage OF the crop,
due to rains, and the fact that
there is such a tremendous demand
for the export trade that the grow.
ers have had an easy foreign mar
ket, and therefore We at home
have to pay higher prices.
Further, the materials which are
being now produced are of very
poor quality Compare even the
sheets Of a ,ew years ago with
what is the best quality to-day.
The weaving Is poor, with imper-
fections, looser, and entirely Sec
ond rate in most materials.
Linen production entirely stopped
during the war, except possibly In
Ireland, for the Belgium mills were
destroyed during the German in
yasion. Naturally this has made
linen costly, and almost impossible
TO secure In good quality. Most OF
the stocks now being offered have
been in storage, and are now being
brought out from warehouses. The
goods are not the product OF the
past four years.
In view of these conditions 10 be-
hooves the woman purchaser to
look we'll to quality when she buys.
Also, she must entirely re-organfze
her former scale OF values and
prices. It is safe to say that 100
per cent increase must be antici-
pated in all cotton and linen goods.
For this reason she must not look
for the same quality at the same
price, or be tempted to purchase
for about the same sum which she
formerly expended. She must be
ready to double her money. Unless
she is, it will be wiser to refuse to
buy al all. Indeed, unless the
necessity is urgent, or the quality
Enthusiastically good, it will be the
better part of sense not to buy this
season, when stocks are so mixed,
and when values are so high.
And before purchasing at all, 1
wonder how many women would
be willing to read most excellent
book on textile buying? l refer
to Textiles" by Mrs. s. Woolman,
published by the Macmillan Co.

helpful in describing every textile
and how to purchase it. Although

most women pride themselves On
being good buyers" OF all yard
materials. I think every woman
would be helped by first reading
this excellent book. Indeed. it Is
safe to say, that its price would be
more than saved In the greater skill
II gives as q buying expert.
Formerly Il was the custom TO
use only linen cloths and napkins
on rhe dining table. But there are
now manufactured cotton materials
which, take Il all I'm all. will give
better service than poor napery OF
linen. Even though the price OF
good cotton napkins is about the
same as poor linen ones. naturally
the cotton will give better and
longer service. Try the tongue
test" the boiling test and the vari-
GUS other tests for fabrics on these
materials before buying them.
In selecting q cloth and napkins.
choose a pattern which Is neutral
and which will combine with any
other set Of napkins. since one
tablecloth usually outwears two
sets of napkins.
Very large dinner napkins used
to be the correct style. but owing to
thrift and shortage all napkins are
now being made smaller. and most
sensibly, too. Also. the very long
cloth, which hangs over the table
eighteen inches or more, is not con-
sidered good taste--it need now
only cover the table with a small
overhang.
N personally am greatly In favor
of the growing custom OF using col
ored cloths, table runners, ETC., In
stead of the long white cloth, which
I think should be saved exclusively
for exceptional use. The pretty
colored runners OF Japanese towel
ing, Of various colored crepes. and
of cretonne, deserve to be more
fashionable. Where children are
present the washable oilcloth In a
fancy pattern Is the best table
cover possible, as then q slight
washup with a damp cloth makes
all fresh and clean and saves
laundry.
The point is-and / must make
women try and see it-that now
when we have such a serious SER
want shortage eve cannot continue
to keep our homes on the same
scale and with the same elaborate
ness which was possible only In the
face OF cheap and plentiful labor.
For example, often come across
in a big trunk of mine bundle OF
my own baby clothes. Beautiful.
yes! Long handtucked garments,
with inserts of lace, and jabots, and
frills.
But where could we get laun-
dress to-day to iron those creations,
and what would It cost? think
that about 75 cents day was the
regular wage paid to the colored
woman who spent two or three
DAYS laundering my baby apparel.
It Is not necessary TO have
drawers full Of white linens and
napery in order to be either an
efficient or a happy housewife. II
Is no mark OF poor housekeeping to
use palmer articles, which are
capable of less costly upkeep. Do
not apologize for the simplicity OF
your furnishings.
This is q time when We should
practise thrift more SO even than
during the war. 1t is because we
are all buying recklessly right and
left that prices keep Highland
want this point to strike home to
the woman who has the pocketbook
and who spends the family income
Buy less-and prices win tend to
become lower.

See What it Does
for Your Teeth

This is to urge a ten-day test
of a new, scientific tooth
cleaner.
You have found, no doubt.
that brushed teeth still dis
color and decay. The
methods you use are in
adequate. There is now a
better way.
The cause of most tooth
troubles is a film. 1t is ever
present, overcoming. You
can feel it with your tongue.
That film is what discolors
NOT the teeth. 1t is the
basis of tartar. 1t holds food
substance which ferments and
forms acid. 1t 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.
That film is clmging. 1t
gets into crevices and stays.
So. despite your brushing. it
may do a ceaseless damage.
Teeth are safer. whittier and
cleaner if that film is absent.
