Teeth
Have come to millions
Let them come to you

There is anew method Of teeth cleaning.
It is based or modern research Authorities
of worldwide fame now advocate its use.
Leading dentists everywhere now urge people
to employ it. And careful people Of some 40
races do so nowadays.
Millions of people in America have adopted
this new method, largely by dental advice.
You meet them wherever you 60. AS one
result, you see glistening teeth wherever you
look today.
This is to urge that you test that method.
Watch it for ten days. See the results on
YOUR own teeth. Learn the cleanly teelipg
that it brings.
The test will cost you nothing. The effects
will change your whole conception OF clean
teeth. Lifelong benefits may come from
them, both to you and yours You owe to
yourself this$experiment.
The Washington times., 1921-11-06
Now we multiply the forces

Authorities have decided that the tooth
paste can apply the needed stimulation. Then,
no matter what the diet these essential effects
will come.
Pepsodent is based on these new dental laws.
Every use brings FIVE effects which science
deems essential.
II combats the film in two effective ways
1t leaves teeth highly polished, so film less
easily adheres.
1t multiplies the salivary flow. 1t multi
plies the starch digestant in the saliva to
digest starch deposits that cling. 1t multi
plies the alkals in the saliva to neutralize
mouth acids.
Thus it increases several fold Natures tooth
protecting forces to the mouth. 1t does TINS
night and morning-every time you use IT.
1t does it so effectively that the results are
most amazing.
Now it is found that old-time tooth
pastes brought the opposite effects, ANY
paste based on soap depresses the saliva. They
reduce the flow, reduce the starch digestant'
reduce the alkalis
That is one reason why the tooth brush has
proved so inadequate. The tooth paste was
combating Nature, where she needed stimula-
tion
These new effects now promise new dental
era. The benefits should come to you and
yours. Prove them out by this short test
then decide for yourself if you want them
The Washington times., 1921-11-06

Dental science has for years sought ways to
fight that film. In late years two effective
methods have been found. Authorities have sub
jected them to many careful tests. Thousands
of skilled men have watched the effects
Now those methods are advised and adopted
in nearly every civilized country. And millions
of all these races use them to combat the film.
Both of those methods are embodied in Pepso
dent This tooth paste reaches wherever film
may linger. It's attacks on hlm-coats, constant
and effective, form one of its chief effects.
The Washington times., 1921-11-06
Five new dental laws

Modern research has discovered other
things. 1t finds that the saliva is Natures
great tooth protecting agent.
1t finds that starch deposits cling to teeth
and often ferment and form acids. 1t hnds
that the starch digestant in saliva was put
there to digest them.
1t finds alkalis in the saliva, put there to
neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay.
1t finds that certain substances will multi
ply those tooth-protecting agents. Those
substances would come in food if we ate the
proper diet But we eat much starch, and
usually too little acid fruits, etc. So these
natural forces are left too weak to tight the
tooth destroyers.
The Washington times., 1921-11-06
What film does to the teeth

Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look
dingy. 1t is film coats that diseolor not the
teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. Film
holds food substance which ferments and
forms acids 1t holds the acids in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Germs breed by millions in it. They, with
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. And
many other serious troubles are now traced
to them.
So when you brush teeth and leave him. the
teeth's chief enemy is left to threaten cease
less damage.
The Washington times., 1921-11-06
Five Quick Benefits
Delightful and convincing

The Pepsodent effects are quick-some are al:
most instant You will feel at once an increased
salivary flow,
That increase brings multiplied supply OF
starch digestant. 1t brings to the mouth multi
piled alkalinity These act for long to digest
starch deposits on teeth and to destroy mouth
acids.
The viscous film is effectively combated
Teeth are highly polished. A cleanly feeling
follows, as one conspicuous result.
The prompt effects will delight you. Within
week, the visible effects will prove most con-
vncing. When you compare old results with
the new, the difference will surprise you

The Washington times., 1921-11-06
You must combat the film

Dental science has discovered the cause OF
most tooth troubles. 1t lies in hlm-that
viscous coat you feel. Film is ever-present'
overcoming. 1t clings to the teeth, gets be-
tween the teeth and stays.
No old-time tooth paste effectively combats
it, The tooth brush, therefore, has lett much
of it intact Night and day, between the
teeth and elsewhere, that film may do endless
damage.
AS result tooth troubles have been con-
stantly increasing. Despite the tooth brush.
very few escape. Millions OF teeth orusheo
daily have discolored or decayed. And pyor-
rhea has become so common as to be alarming.
The Washington times., 1921-11-06
Children Above All

Children need Pepsodent even more than
adults Young teeth seem most subject to these
film attacks The results are often hfe-lastlng
in effect.
Dentists advise that children use Pepsodent
from the time the first tooth appears. Let not

and acids Otherwise nearly all may suffer
troubles which cleanliness might prevent.

CITY PRIMARY
COMES MONDAY
Voters Urged TO Express Their
Opinions in Battle of
Ballots.
IS AN ELIMINATION CONTEST
One Candidate for Commission Nom
inatiOn; One for Justice
Will Lose.

The second non-partisan primary
to be held under the commission
form of city government will be held
in Alma on Monday, March 7, and
in view of the big problems that will
confront the city government during
the next few years the primary
should be considered as an impor-
tant elimination factor for the voters
of the city.
They should be interested, it is
pointed out, in seeing that their fa-
vorite candidates get their votes at
the primary that they may not be
eliminated, for the regular spring
election, which is to come four weeks
after the preliminary contest.
AS there are only two candidates
for mayor neither of them will be
eliminated at the primary, but both
will continue through TO the election
The names Of five candidates appear
on the ballot for city commissioners,
and one of these men must be elm
mated under the requirements of the
charter, as only twice the number to
be elected can have their names on
the official election ballot in April.
1t is probable that those favoring
any certain candidates be at the polls
to give expression as to their belief,
in the effort TO put the name of his
or her respective candidate on the
April election ballot. The men who
filed initiatory petitions and have
their names on the primary ballot
seeking nomination as commission
ers are Frank o. Parker, Arthur +.
Davies, Albert j. Archer, Philip w.
Creaser and Francis f. West.
There are three candidates for
nomination for justice of the peace,
and here again it will be necessary
to eliminate one candidate. The can
didates for the nomination, two of
whom will get their names on the
April ballot, are Joseph L. Big
gerstaff, Geo. II. Carl and d. Lloyd
johnson.
Only one candidate for supervisor
filed petition in any Of the four
wards, and their election is assured
