paste made to meet modern requirements.

Teeth quickly show

There are three ways in which Pepsodent
brings results unique and beneficial, but its
action on film is the chief one.
P~epsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant
of albumin. The film is albuminous matter.
The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then
to day by day combat it.
Pepsin must be activated, and the usual
agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. So this
method long seemed barred. But science has
found a harmless activating method, and now
active pepsin can be daily applied.
You see the results of Pepsodent wher-
ever you look today-teeth whittier, cleaner,
safer. Now see the results on you own teeth.
Send the coupon for a To-Day Tube. Note
how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark
the absence of the viscous film. See how
teeth whiten as the flm-coat disappears.
Compare your teeth now with your teeth in
ten days, then decide for yourself what is
best for them. Cut out the coupon to avoid
further delay. This test is most important.

Should end that film on teeth
All statements approved BY high dental authorities

Most teeth are clouded more or less by hlm.
Millions of teeth are ruined by it. 1t causes
most tooth troubles.
There is now a way to combat that film,
advised by dentists everywhere. And a ten
day test will be sent on your request.

How film dirns teeth

A viscous film clings to your teeth, enters
c~revices and stays. You can feel it with your
tongue. Then it forms a cloudy coat and may
lead to endless damage.
1t is the flm-coat that discolors, not the
teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. 1t 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 pyorrhea.
Very few people, under old methods, have
escaped these troubles. The ordinary tooth
paste does not dissolve film, so the tooth
brush failed to end it. Dental science has for
years been seeking a way to combat it.
Five years ago the way was found, and
dental authorities have amply proved it's eff
cheney. Now it is urged for daily use, and
millions already employ it. It is embodied

Washington, May IA summary
OF the reply of the Netherlands gov

ed at The Hague by the American
minister concerning the Djambi Oil
Fields in the Dutch East Indies has
reached the state department and is
understood to contend that American
protests against the bill recently
passed by the Dutch parliament COW
ering exploitation of that field had
come too late. Officials were review
ing the situation today in preparation
for the dispatch of a further commun-
cation.
The statement by H. A Van Karne-
beck, foreign minister, answering
question in Parliament yesterday, that
Holland had not received note from
the United States on this subject in
1914, attracted the attention of off
cials. The first objection to the pres
ent oil exploitation system in the Cen
trail Sumatra, it was said, was in 1915
when an American company attempt
ed to enter the field without success.
1t was said the concern OF the Ameri-
can government in this regard was ex-
pressed to the Netherland govern
ment long before presentation of the
oil bill in the second chamber Novem-

CONSTRUCTION TOO
HIGH IN COST FOR
ROAD BUILDING

Washington, May designation
III railroad building in the United
States must be attributed to the dis
parity between the cost of construc-
tion and the return to the investor.
Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
board of directors of the Southern
Pacific, declared in resuming his tes-
t:mony before the senate interstate
commerce committee, which is inquir-
ing into the railroad situation.
In 1920 only $62,264,O0O went as I
return to those who paid for the pro
perties while sixty times as much
! went to those employed on the rail-
roads, he said. This answers the
question why don't we build more
railroads :"
Efficient management, he said, was
left but narrow limits within which
to attempt a control of operating ex-
penses in 1920 because of the many
elements entering into costs, over
which it had no influence. Among
these elements he included increases
ir wholesale prices of materials, the
outlaw strike in April, 1920; restora-
ton of adequate passenger service de-
manded by the public. and relocation
of freight cars to owners rails. The
last item alone. the witness declared,
involved an increase of 1928, 1000, 900
