a strong sentiment against it the ques-

of everybody's way. Tell Mrs. Wheeler

Myrtle.
Scrawled upon the back of sta
tionery box, the foregoing note was
left by Mrs. Myrtle Holmes, age II,
who attempted suicide by drinking two
ounces of lcarbolic acid at her home.
There is slight chance that she will
recover.
A love affair with man by the
name of Wheeler, whose wife is men
toned in the suicide note, is said to
have caused the young woman to try
to end her life. Rather than cause an
estrangement OF husband and wife the
girl took that course.

We Invite You
To see how really clean teeth shine

Your teeth are coated with film.
When fresh the film is viscous-you can
feel it with your tongue. Later it forms
a cloudy coat. 1t enters crevices and
stays. 1t dims the teeth, and now we
know that it causes most tooth troubles.
There is now a way to end it. This
week your druggist, if you ask, will give
you To-Day Tube. Get it and see what
it does for your teeth. Learn what film
removal means.

These methods have been combined in
a dentifrice called Pepsodent. Millions of
people have come to employ it. You can
see the results wherever you look - in
glistening teeth, in teeth you envy. maybe.
A new dental era has begun, due to
these discoveries. And these are benefits
everyone should share. So you are urged
to let this To-Day Tube show what Pep

Dental science has for years studied to

to do it. Able authorities have proved
those methods by many careful tests.
Now leading dentists everywhere are

Men who smoke
will see a quick, conspicuous
change

Tobacco stains the flm-coat on the
teeth. So men who smoke will see a
great change quickly. But millions of
teeth have that same fIm-coat with a
lesser stain.
Children's teeth are most affected
by the film. Young teeth seem most
subject to decay. Dentists advise that
PePsodent be daily applied from the
time the first tooth appears. Other
wise, decay is almost certain.
Pepsodent brings to women whittier,
prettier teeth. But that means cleaner
teeth and safer. The luster comes
from constant film removal and the
high polish given to the teeth.

Watch these effects. Note how clean
the teeth feel after using. Mark the abb

whiten as the hlm-coat disappears.

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 a 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 allzalinity of the saliva is multiplied
at once. This is to neutfalize 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.

Britons Blamed U. S. Dry Law fol
Causing Shortage of Sugar.

London, July IA firm OF jam
manufacturers has announced its in
tention of closing three OF its fac
tories, owing to the high price OF
sugar.
The world shortage has been rem
dered even more acute, according to
British authorities, by the increased
consumption of the product in the
United States, owing chiefly to the
enactment of the prohibition law.
1t is, therefore, thought that the
action OF the jam manufacturers may
merely result in the sugar being d.
verted to another country at higher
price.
In Great Britain the price of sugar
is | shilling pence a pound les cents
at the old rate OF exchange, and it
Is expected that at an early date the
price will be increased to 80 cents per
pound
Before the war the price OF sugar
IL England was ! cents pound.

country i'll Europe. And as the mark
strengthens, prices continue to rise.

have been forcing foreigners to pay

natives are charged Many shops
also make a practice OF mulcting for
elgners, some habcrdasheries in Ber-
iii charging 90 cents, American, TOT
