Wac.ington.-Postage stamps rang

design and color, with a view to pre-
venting losses by the P~ostoffice De
partment due to lack of distinctive fea-
lures, it has been announced.
All stamps ranging in denomination
from L to I cents now bear the pr
trait of George Washington, while an
etching of Benjamin Franklin appears
on those ranging from s cents TO 50.
The department contemplates retain
ing the Washington and Franklin por-
traits upon certain of the stamps, but,
il was said, will substitute portraits of
leading figures in American history on
the others.
The department was OF the opinion,
1t was explained, that different de-
signs and colors would enable postal
employees to detect more readily chort

He didn't like
white bread-or
e~ady-rubbed tobacco
And probably he preferred
horsecars to the trolley

He admitted frankly that his tastes
were peculiar. He didn't know why. 1t
was just a matter of fact that while he
vas an inveterate pipe smoker, he
smoked Edgeworth.
"But don't let that worry you. 1
don't like white bread. And there are
many other things that nearly every
body l know likes-and / don't"
We have always recognized that no
one tobacco would just hit the taste
of every pipe-smoker. We have always
known, too, that we couldn't make oil
the pipe tobacco in the world even if
itwere possible to make a tobacco that
everybody liked.
So we have been content to jog
along, seeking and finding men who
do like Edgeworth, who find its indi-
vidualfragrance exactly suited to their
taste.
Those are the men we want to smoke
Edgeworth. II we can give them the
full joy Of smoking and keep our fac
tories running somewhere near capac-
ity, it is about all we expect-and it is
enough.
One thing we do want to be sure of.
1t is this: That every p~ipe-smoker try
Edgeworth at least once and judge
for himself whether or not it is the
lA E.

right tobacco for
him.
In a way, it is a
selfish desire on
our part, for we
feel that o real
pipe smokers WiH
like Edgeworth.
But to make
it as easy as
n possible for you
or any other
4 man to test
Edgeworth, we
will send you

Why Teeth Show
In pictures-and everywhere today
: Millions are removing film

Have you noted how most pictures now
show pretty teeth? And how countless peo-
pie, wherever you look, show beautiful teeth
when they smile nowadays?
Those are results of this new way of teeth
cleaning which millions now employ Now
we urge you to try it at our cost, and to start
today.
Try combating film
Until late years, nearly all teeth were kept
1louded by film And 40 in so people suf-
fered from film attacks.
Film is that viscous coat you feel It
clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and
stays. 1t forms the BASIC of dingy coats, in
Guiding tartar, unless you constantly combat
it. Stains are absorbed by that film.
It also holds food substance which fer
ments and forms acid. 1t holds the acid in
contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs
breed by millions in it They, with tartar, are
the chief cause of ryorrhea.

Two other new effects

TWO other new effec0
Pepsodent brings two other effects which
dental science has now proved essential
1t multiplies the starch digestant in thu
saliva. That is there to digest starch deposits
on teeth which may otherwise ferment and
form acids.
It multplies the alkalinity Of the saliva
That is there to neutralize the acids which
cause decay.
The ordinary tooth paste brings just oppo-
site effects. 1t decreases these two great
tooth-protecting agents which Nature has
provided. Pepsodent, with every use, gives
them manifold effect
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-10-30

Thus most tooth troubles are now traced
to film. And all those troubles were con-
stantly increasing, despite all care of the
teeth.
Old ways ineffective
No ordinary tooth paste effectively fights
film. In fact, tooth pastes based on soap and
chalk even make the film more clinging.
So dental science has for years been seek
ing film combatants. Two effective methods
have been found. Able authorities proved
them by many careful tests. And now lead
ing dentists almost the world over advise
their daily use.
A new-type tooth paste has been created,
based on modern research. The name is
Pepsodent In that tooth paste are embodied
those two film combatants -ons to curdle
the film, one to remove it.
Careful people of fifty nations are now
using this new method, largely by dental
advice. To millions of homes it is bringing
a new dental era.
