An ideal diet would do these same things,
but few people get it. So dental science now
needs the tooth paste TO bring these desired
effects
Pepsodent will daily bring you five great
benefits which the old ways did not bring.
Together, they mean new era in teeth
cleaning.
Mems tobacco stains
Men who smoke stain these flrn-costy with
tobacco. The use of Pepsodent brings them
conspicuous effects.
Food stains with women make these ilm-
coats dingy. The glistening teeth seen every
where now show how Pepsodent removes
them.
But children need Pepsodent most. Their
teeth are most subject to Aim and starch at
tacks. Very few escape them. Dentists ad-
wise that they use Pepsodent from the time
the first tooth appears.
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1921-10-13
Also starch and acids

Modern diet makes other things essential
And those essentials are embodied in this
scientific tooth paste.
Each use of Pepsodent multiplies the sali-
vary flow. That is Natures great tooth-pro-
tecting agent. 1t multiplies the starch di-
gestant in the saliva That is there to digest
starch deposits which may otherwise form
acids.
1t niuitipnes the alkalinity of the saliva.
That is Natures agent for neutralizing acids
which attack the teeth.

Parsons Marriage Scheme Stirs Women

n MAHA.-Rev. Charles w. Savidge
" of Omaha poked hornets nest
when he announced that he intended
bringing shipload of peasant women
from Europe to be wives for western
farmers and ranchers, because the
modern American girl, with her rouge
and her paint, her powder and her
geOrgettes, her high heels and her
cobweb silk hose, is not fitted for life
down on the farm.
Five hundred girls from about forty
eight states-country girls, town girls
and city girls-have written Rev.
Mr.. Savidge. either In protest or to
offer themselves as substitutes for the
European peasant women. Here's the
way Philadelphia girl puts IT.
Tell your farmers and ranchers to
take my advice and go East. All sorts
Of girls are awaiting them in Pitts
burgh. in Philadelphia, in New York,
in Boston, and in every other city In

The Castle, Chester.

Hugh Lupas, with the aid of Nor
man monks, established here Bene-
dictine monastery-one of those
early centers, not alone of religion,
but of learning, also.
In 1541, after the dissolution Of the
monasteries by Henry VIII, the abbey
church became theeCathedral of Ches-
tion, dating back to 1893, are incor-
porated in the cathedral, but most OF
ii dates from the twelfth to the six
teenth century. Since 1919 restora-
tions have been made at intervals, as
is the custom in practically all Euro
pean cathedrals.
"The Chester Imp"
In monastic times the abbey was
rich and Of much Importance. The
Chester mysteries" or miracle plays,
were performed each year before its
gates, when fair was held on the
feast Of st. Werbergh, the patron
saint Of Chester. A curious custom
prevailing among builders in the mid
die ages was that of carving grotesque
figures-not only on the exteriors of
churches, like gargoyles. but often on
their interiors. Perched coyly In a
corner high up on the cathedral, is
such joke, known as ''The Chester
Imp"
A reminder of more recent days is
found in two flags draped on the wall
Of the south aisle of the cathedral
which were carried by the British at
the battle Of Bunker Hill not far from
these are displayed the colors Of the
Chester Guards, borne at Quebec.
A wonderful work Of restoration to
be seen in Chester is that in the
Church of st. John. This was Gu
thedral church and dates from the late
eleventh century. 1t was occupied by
a Norman bishop in 1918. but in few
years he removed the seat Of his
bishopric to Coventry. The church as
restored today-a gem of Norman
rchitecture-include only sections
of the nave and transepts that be
longed to the original structure. Stand
ing apart from 1t are the picturesque
ruins of the ancient choir.

He called attention to the Zion City
ordinance which makes II unlawful to
wear indiscreet dresses. A section Of
this ordinance reads:
Every dress of any female over the
age Of twelve years, cut or fitted In
style or manner as to show or expose
or partially show or expose the neck
or shoulders of the wearer lower than

morals and degrade the best interests
of society.

shall she wear 'peekaboo' or mosquito

to expose any particular part Of the
wearer other than provided for; nor

Men and Women.

II is the women of Manila who mar
ket the produce there. Early every
morning long lines Of these farmer
wives, with great cigars In their
mouths, and large baskets Of wares
on their heads, can be seen striding
along the narrow trails toward the
capital city, where market is held.
Strong and happy, they wade
through the streams and the mud,
calling out to one another as they 60,
and only stopping to get fresh light
for their cigars from some one of
their number or some one whom they
chance to meet. Once at market they
chat. smoke, laugh and barter for
hours over few small tomatoes. some
green squash. live chicken, eggs,
fruit, sugar or anything they happen
to have, and toward noon they strag-
gle home, having had good visit and
sold or exchanged their wares.
Sunday is the only really strenuous
day for the Filipinos. II Is the big
market day when people come from all
the surrounding country, and It Is the
time when cockHghts are allowed. Men
spend a good share Of their time dur
ing the week in training their pet roost-
ers, and on Sunday. early and late.
they can be seen going TO and from

Excitement runs high and their JOY

B HELD IN ROCK HILL

.Spartanburg, April 5.-Rock Hill,
which is to entertain the next South
Carolina State Sunday School Con-
vention, has broken all records in
State Convention financing, by rails
ing a larger amount and paying it
earlier than any other city that has
ever entertained the Convention.
This statement was issued yester-
day from the state headquarters OF
the Sunday School Association in
Spartanburg by Leon c. Palmer,
-eneral superintendent Of the organi-
zation. Crock Hill is determined to
make this the best and biggest Sun
ny School convention ever held in
the State" said Mr.. Palmer, "and
with this in view the Rock Hill Cham
Der of Commerce has already raised,
among the business firms Of the
city, the sum of one thousand dollars
to be expended solely in advertising
and promoting this meeting,
SThis is, believe, the largest a.
mount ever raised by Convention
city in this State, and speaks volumes
for the local interest in the conven-
ton. Not only have they raised the
amount; they have paid in cash. at
an earlier date than any other city
has ever paid its advertising fund.
Rock Hill stands in a class to itself
among the cities that have entertain
ed the State Sunday School Conven-
ton. ... "a
"All who attend this Convention
may well feel assured of a hearty
welcome from the Rock Hill citizens
and a delightful three days of fel-
lowship together during the Conven-
ton, which will be held in Winthrop
College, June S-9-10:" ~
