Based on Pepsin

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the
digestant of albumin. The film is
alburninous matter. The purpose of
Pepsodent 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 pepsin long seemed
impossible.
What science has now done is to
invent a harmless activating method.
That method is employed in Pepso-
dent. The result is tooth paste
which will do what nothing else has
done. And five years of tests seem
to clearly prove that it opens new
dental era.
Pepsodent has been submitted to
every form of clinical and laboratory
test. Dentists everywhere have
watched its effects and now urge it's
daily use. This week we offer a
test to you, and we ask you to
accept it.

DECORATIONS FOR
SOLDIERS GRAVES
American Legion Takes Up Matter Of
Fitting Recognition Of Comrades
Who Sleep in French
Soil.
TO GET CONTRIBUTIONS
Voluntary Gifts Sufficient to Decorate
All Of the Graves VIII be Asked
for by Legion
Members.

Franklin DOlier, national COM
mander, today announced the pla,
for carrying out the instructions OF
the Minneapolis convention in deco.
rating on Memorial day the graves
Of Americans who fell in the war and
lie buried on foreign soil. The plan,
as outlined in bulletin just issued
Is as follows:
The national executive committee,
ct their meeting in Washington on
March "a, discussed the question of
the proper decoration for the graves
OF those OF our comrades who paid
the supreme sacrifice and lie buried
in foreign soil.
1t was unanimously agreed that the
American Legion should, through
voluntary contributions, raise suffi.
cient funds to properly decorate the
grave of every American soldier and
sailor in Europe on this coming Me
mortal day.
1t is therefore requested that each
state department call this matter to
the attention of all posts, with the
suggestion that where a post is able
and disposed so to do, it remit for
this purpose five dollars or more to
the treasurer at national headquar-
tiers, through it's respective depart.
ment adjutant.
National headquarters is now ar
ranging with the organization of
the American Legion in both France
and England for handling this mat
ter. .
Remittances should reach national
headquarters not later than April "a,
in order that they may be RENTED
to France and England, although spe-
cial arrangements can be made to
cable later remittances where posts
have been unavoidably delayed. This,
Of course, is matter which will ap-
peal strongly to every individual
member OF the legion, and many
small contributions are preferred.
Posts with large memberships
which desire to forward more than
five dollars: of course, may use their
own discretion.
Owing to the keen interest which
many outside of the legion will take
in this matter, there is nothing to
prevent department organizations ac-
cepting voluntary contributions from
those outside of the legion, but. new !
ertheless, anxious to share in a |
small way toward the decoration Of |
the graves.
