on teeth cleaning-five of them

inadequate. Nearly everybody knows that.
Millions hnd that well.brushed teeth dis

Tooth troubles have been constantly in
creasing. Some have grown alarming in ex-
tent Very few escape them.
So dental science, after diligent research,
has set down some new laws Millions now
obey them, largely by dental advice. This is
to urge ten-day test, SO you may know what

Science also finds that modern diet - rich

new requirements Pepsodent has been de-
signed to meet them.
II stimulates the salivary flow - Natures
great tooth-protectinE agent. 1t nultiplies
the starch digestant in the saliva. That is
there to digest starch deposits which may
otherwise cling and form acid.
1t multiplies the alkalinity Of the saliva
That is Natures neutralizer for the acids
which cause tooth decay.
A tooth paste should twice daily serve to
multiply these teeth-protectns forces. And
Pepsodent complies with those new laws.

Old methods do not effectively combat it.
Much Of the Aim is left. Then night and day
it may do ceaselcss damage. Most tooth
troubles are now traced to film.
1t is film-costs that discolor not the teeth
Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food sub
stance which ferments and forms acid. II
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 pyorrhea. Also
of other serious troubles, local and internal.

Science has now found two effective hIm
combatants. High authorities have amply
proved them. Leading dentists everywhere
now advise their daily use.

A Ford owner had lost his coupe
and two men had been arrested on
suspicion. Seeking some light on the

raked over the old wheezes in the
joke book. They came upon this one:

what would you do?"
81 would bury it in the basement"
was the vaudevillian answer.
Accepting this as good bunch,
the detectives fastened to the home
of one of the suspects and dug into
the cement. The stolen Ford coupe
was there. 1t had been dismantled
and the parts had been buried. The
detectives assisted the owner and the
car was reassembled in half an hour,
