has swollen glands on each side of

no difference in them since the opera

she is quite well, though a small

when out of doors in damp or cold
weather. Has never slept in a room
without the windows being open even
in severe weather. She is thirty eight
and a half inches tall and weighs
forty-one pounds. No medicine seems

The Old Gardener Says:

When you harvest your onions
be sure that they are tnorous..-
ly dried before they are re-
moved to the house. This is
best done in the field. Then
they must be stored in Slated
boxes or crates so that there
will be a free circulation of
air. Handle them like most of
the garden vegetables and they
will quickly spoil. AS the white
onions are the quickest to de-
cay, let them be eaten first.
Red onions usually keep longest
of all. Don't let the onions get
touched by frost, although IL
they have once been. frozen
solidly they will keep until they
are thawed out again.

Two effective methods

Two effective methods
Two effective methods have been
found. Many careful tests have proved
them. They have been combined in
dentifriee called Pepsodeut.
Millions OF people who have tried it
now employ it daily. Leading dentists
everywhere advise its use. In almost
every circle, glistening teeth show its
visible results.
Every home is welcome to ten-day
test. Make it and watch the effects.
Other desired results
Pepsodent brings other effects which
authorities desire.
It muliplies the salivary flow. That is
Natures great tooth-protecting agent.
It multiplies the starch digestant in
the saliva. That is Natures agent for
digesting starch deposits which may
otherwise form acids.
It multiplies the alkal;nity of the sa-
Iva. That is Natures factor for neu-
trahzing acids which cause tooth decay.
These results come from every ap-
plication. They last for some time. And
they give Nature much-needed aid in
combating the possible effect Of modern
starchy diet on teeth.
Tooth pastes based on soap and chalk
have the opposite effect. Modern au-

thorities oppose them. So Pepsodent
omits these ingredients.

You can see and feel what Pepsodent
is doing. A book we send explains
every effect. Watch these results, learn
the reason for them. Then judge for
yourself between the new way and the
old.

How teeth are ruined

That film is now known as the cause
of most tooth troubles. It is the basis
of tartar. It holds food substance which
ferments and forms acid. It 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 pyor-
rhea. Also of many other troubles,
local and internal.

Smoke discolors film

Smoke dlScOlOrS tllm
With men who smoke the film is
often conspicuously diseolored. They
are apt to see the greatest effects from

Children need Pepsodent most. Young
teeth seem most affected by these film
attacks. Dentists advise that Pepso-
dent be used at least twice daily from
the time the first tooth appears.

There is a way to keep teeth whittier,
cleaner, safer. Millions now employ 1t:
The glistening teeth you see every
where now largely result from this
method.
This is to explain that method. To
tell you why authorities advise it. Then
to offer you ten-day test and urge that
you accept it.
The film discolors
Your teeth are coated with viscous
film. You can feel it with your tongue.
It is ever er-present, ever-forming. It
clings to teeth, enters crevices and
stays.
The ordinary tooth paste does not
end that film. The tooth brush, used in
old ways, leaves much of it intact. So
very few have escaped the damage
which that film creates.
That flm-coat absorbs stains, max
ing the teeth look dingy. Countless
facial attractions are marred in that
way. Combat that film for a little while
and see how your teeth improve.
