How film ruins

Film is that viscous coat you feel
1t clings to teeth, enters crevices
and stays. The ordinary dentfrice
does not effectively combat it. So,
despite the tooth brush, it has
caused tremendous damage.
Film absorbs stains, making the
teeth look dingy. Il forms the
basis OF tartar. It holds food sub
stance which ferments and forms
acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
It breeds millions of germs and
they, with tartar, are the chief
cause of pyorrhea.
Pepsodent combats these film
caused troubles as nothing else
has done.

PEARL BUTTON

Graham Presents Plea of M&Hu-

Rainous Competition.

fwashinvtoa Buresu Rock Island Argus J
Washington, ID. c., Sept. 1.-THE
maintenance OF the territory sur
rounding Rock Island as the ma
TONS greatest center for the pro-
duction OF pearl buttons depends
upon the adoption of a protective
tariff clause I'm the Fordney bill,
according to letters and kilograms
William J. Graham, and filed today
by him with the senate committee
on finance.
The cities below Rock Island, on
where factories for the manufacture
of buttons and blanks" are locat-
ed, are meeting hot competition
from Japan and anticipate a further
influx of cheaply manufactured
goods from Austria as soon as trade
Is resumed with that country.
Unless paragraph 1909 of the
Fordney tariff bill, as it passed the
house, Is retained in the senate
bill the factories near Rock Island
will be compelled to shut down,
Representative Graham's CORE
spondents inform him.
James Moir Of Moir Brothers,
Burlington, Iowa, operating factor
les at Burlington, Oquawka and

gresham urging the retiring of
the Fordney bill clause in the SEN
ate bill He charges that the Knit
Goods Manufacturers association
Is lighting the duty on pearl but
tons, because it will greatly in
crease their margin of profit if for
eign-made buttons can be obtained
for their factories.
Paragrah 1909 of the Fordney
bill, levying a duty on buttons and
blanks" is as follows: Buttons

ALASKA NEWS

A Washington special says: At a meeting of the house. committee on territories called by Chairman Curry. a decision probably will be reached to drop the Alaska development board bill for the present session and to have no hearings on it until the new con- gress shall have assembled in special session. The reasons for this are two fold; first, if the bill did pass this ses- sion it is feared that President Wilson would veto it, inasmuch as Secretary Payne, upon whose advice the presi- dent now relies a great deal, is not in sympathy with the measure. The spec ial reason is that if the bill did not pass at this session the hearings would have to be gone all over again.
 After rescuing the government en- ployees and natives on the Pribilof sland of Alaska from serious short age of food and coal during the long, bleak winter and braving the dangers of Boring Sea waters after the close of navigation to merchant ships, the steamship Saturn, Lieut.. Com. K. J. Carstarphen of the United States Ma. wy Transportation Service, has arrived in Seattle. The Saturn brought a ship ment of 24,000 seal skins valued at s2,O0O, ,000; 40 barrels of seal oil ana fertilizer as her homward cargo. In re- sponSe to an appeal for assistance from the residents of the little dots of land in ering Sea known as St. George and St. Paul Islands, the Saturn sailed from Seattle Oct, IA to attempt to land winter supplies. After loading 450 tons of coal, 300 tons of provisions and 1,600 gallons of gasoline in drums the Saturn steamed for the North.
 SEATTLE, an., A. Washington special says: his annual report made public today, Secretary ohm Barton Payne, of the department of the Inter- far, declares in favor of the establish ment of a government operated line of steamships to Alaska, "even at loss, and to provide an adequate service as reasonable rates"
 Secretary Payne declares against any larger measure of local govern ment in Alaska. This is interpreted to mean that he is out of sympathy with the suggestion made by his predeces- sor in office, Franklin K. Lane, who so vigorously urged the creation of an Alaskan Development Board, resident
