See and feel il act

Pepsodent brings five desired effects. Some are
instant, all are quick. A very short test will prove
a revelation.
One ingredient is pepsin. Another lnultiplies the
posts that cling. 1t also m~ultiplies the alkalinity of
the saliva, to ncutralize the acids which cause tooth
decay.
Two factors directly attack the film. One of them
keeps the teeth so highly polished that film cannot
easily adhere. With every application it combats
the teeth's great enemies as nothing else has done.
clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence
of the viscous film. See how teeth whiten as the
flm-coats disappear. Let this test show you, for
your own sake, what clean teeth really mean.

Now we combat it

Now dental science has evolved ways to
combat film day by day. Able authorities
have amply proved their efficiency.
These n1etncds are combined in a dentifrice
called Pepsodent. Millions have adopted it,
largely through dental advice. 1t opens, we
believe, a new dental era. And, to let all
know it, a To-Day Tube is being sent to
everyone who asks.

Smokers teeth discolor more THAI others,
usually. But the stains lie in a film, and re-
moving that film removes them.
There is now a way to combat this film.

A Move in the
Wrong Direction

The weekend holiday is the
coming holiday.
They have it in the older coun-
tries. In this country, in the
larger cities, all the tendency is
that way.
Davenport houses that have
adopted the Wednesday half holt
day, for July and August, are
swimming against the current of
the business stream.
They are moving IN the wrong
direction.
Some day they will have to be-
gin over again and educate the
public to trade on Wednesdays
instead of Saturday evenings.
That's the reason Parker's
favors Saturday evening closing
NOW.
And that is why this store will
be open Wednesday afternoons
and close Saturdays at $3.50 p. m.

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

With the recent suspension or reduc-
tion OF dividends by many of the in
dustrial companies, the question has
frequently been raised what has become
OF the immense prd6ts these companies
made during the war period. It seemed
almost incredible In a number Of in
stances the management had been
unable to lay away sufficient nest eggs
to take care Of dividends during the
unexpected lean period. The unpleasant
dividend changes has made one thing
quite plain. and that is the majority Of
the country's corporations are cash
poor This unfortunate condition,
however, has been very generally ad-
mitted. Then what is the cause2 Ac-
cording to the extensive investigation
made by a member Of prominent local
banking firm the explanation is to be
found In one word-"taxes.' In dis.
cussing the results of his canvass OF

Economists Puzzled

A number of elements and currents
have cropped out during the readjust-.
ment process in the transitory period
from war TO a peace basis which Is
puzzling some of the shrewdest econo-
mists of the world. One of the most
difficult problems to solve has been the
remarkable decrease in consumption in
a number Of commodities: It is par
ticularly more striking in -four and
sugar. In both the consumption is be-
low that during the war period when
the greatest restrictions were enforced
by governmental agencies. With the
terrific slump in the price of refined
sugar. this falling off is hard to recon =
cile. 1t indicates a hand to mouth
policy on the part Of all consumers.

Western MnneY Firm

Firmness and steadiness constitute
the trend Of the Western money market
with ample funds for legitimate pur-
poses, while the position among lead
ing banks warrants the maintaining Of
the per cent rate Of discount on loans
having sufficient collateral behind them.
Commercial paper offerings are being
handled on a to ~ per cent basis
with per cent the ruling rate for
transactions over the counter. At the
present time the majority Of lines Of
business evidence such an apathetic
state that there is comparatively little
need Of any considerable amount OF
credit, due to the limited consumption
OH the part Of the public. so that many
concerns are directing their attention
toward taking care Of what old obliga
tions they have rather than to resorting
to anything in the way Of expansion.
