PRE-ELECTlON NAMING
OF CABINET SUGGESTED
Senator Wants G.. o. P. Plank Re
quiring Presidential Candi-
dates to Go on Record.

Declaring cabinet officers have de-
veloped great powers in government
Senator Kenyon. republican, Iowa. has
announced that he would endeavor to
have a plank inserted in the 1920 plat
form of the republican party requir-
ing the presidential nominee to make
public his proposed cabinet appoint
mentS thirty days before the elections.
This would give us more represent
ative government in the cabinet" said
Mr.. Kenyon, for the people would. in
measure, be voting for cabinet Off
GERS. At least that would enter into
the election"
IF men are to secure cabinet posi-
tions because of heavy campaign con-
tributions, let the public know, If
somebody is to be appointed to a cabi-
net position who has no special fit
ness for the position, but has been
able to deliver a substantial body of
delegates to the successful candidate.
that likewise is a matter of public
concern. If men are to be appointed
to the cabinet merely on the ground
of personal friendship for the nomi-
nee or because they may resemble in
appearance cabinet officers in the days
of Grant, let us know that also.
The cabinet positions have grown
into positions of tremendous power.
why should the voter not know be-
fore he votes who are to be the men,
uers of the cabinet?"

Price Comparison

lH connection with a story in Sat
urdays issue of The News Scimitar
regarding the retail price Of milk In
Memphis as compared to that in Chi
cage and Louisville. l.. n. Learned
manager Of the Glover Farm Dairy,
stated Tuesday that comparison OF
Memphis witty these two cities was
unfair.
Mr. Learned stated that fairer
comparison would have been with

ana surrounded with conditions more
similar to those which prevail around
Memphis than those surrounding
Chicago or Louisville Some south

In the first place. he states that
lsChicago Is situated IN the heart OF
country where dairying has been
developed to its highest point Of per-
lection; that production and dis
trtbution have, been developed there
to very hiIh standard. on the
other hand, he states that the dairy
ms business in Memphis is very
young and that the cost of both pro-
duCtion and distribution is high, as
would be natural in any new indus
try.
Further Mr. Learned states that
the quality of milk served to Mem

Anyone can see and feel what Pep
sodent is doing. No old method Of
brushing ever brought such effects. So
we let this test convince you.
One ingredient is peps:n. Another
multiplies the starch digestant in the
saliva, to digest starch deposits that
cling. The alkalinity of the, saliva is
multiplied also, and at once: That is
TO neutralize mouth 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.
The effects of Pepsodent come with
every application. We constantly COM
bat, in efficient ways, the teeth's great
enemies. And millions Of teeth are
'given new protection and new beauty.

The war on film

Dental science, the world over. is
fighting a war on film. Film is that
viscous coat you feel 1t clings to
teeth, enters crevices and stays. And
most tooth troubles are now traced to
1t.
Those troubles have been constantly
increasing. The ordinary tooth paste
does not end film, so the tooth brush
has proved inadequate. Millions know
how well-brushed teeth have discolored
end decayed.

In every circle nowadays you see

Pepsodent 81. .--.
Go get this free tube and try it for
yourself. Note how clean the teeth
feel after using. Mark the absence of
the viscous film. See how teeth whiten
as the film-coats disappear.
Then let the children use it. Their
teeth need it most. Very few children
reach the age of IS without some tooth
decay. ..., rs ~
Let the man who smokes see how it
takes the stained film from his teeth.
Let all find out how much cleaner
teeth feel, how much safer, when
brushed in this new way. Then this
