Film is a blernish

Your teeth are coated with viscous
film. You can feel it now. It clings to
teeth, gets between the teeth and stays.
Your tooth brush leaves much of that
film. The ordinary tooth paste does
not effectively combat it. So the film
absorbs stains, then forms dingy coats.
Tartar is based on film.
That's why beautiful teeth were seen
less often than now.
Film also holds food substance which
ferments 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 pyorrhea.
Thus most tooth troubles are now
traced to film, and very few escaped
them.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-28
Now a better way

Dental science has long been study
ing film. A few years ago it found two
ways I'd effectively combat it. One acts
to curdle film, one to remove it daily,
and without any harmful securing.
Able authorities proved these meth
DDS right. Then a new-type tooth paste
was created, based on modern research.
These two great film combatants were
embodied in it.
That tooth paste is called Pepsodent.
Dentists everywhere advise it. And
to careful people of some so nations it
is bringing a new dental era.

TOSTUDY
KAUFMAN s
PAINTING
Orders Briefs Filed on Dry
Law Satire, Alleged to
Be SacriIegious.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Briefs
will be filed March IL to aid the
courts determination whether the
painting satirizing the Volstead act
by Francois J. Kaufman, hanging
in the exhibition of the Society of
Independent Artists, at the Waldorf,
is sacrilegious or otherwise untitled
for the public gaze. Magistrate
Ryttenberg in Jefferson Market
Court so ordered yesterday. Until
then and for the greater length of
the exhibition the picture will be
permitted to remain on view.
The case was that of Detective
Fred Russell against Abraham s.
Baylinson, secretary of the indie
pendents. The painting, which Is
the basis of it, shows Christ at the
feast of Cana and the three pro-
stead and Bryan, interrupting the
miracle Of the water being turned
into wine.
Detective Russell said he viewed
the picture at length and deter
mined from this and the comments
of onlookers that it was sacrileg-
ious. Asked by the magistrate what
he found wrong with the picture,
he said:
by showing Volstead, Anderson
and Bryan, the men responsible for
prohibition, it tends to ridicule and
cause disrespect for the dry law"
He said the figure Of Christ was
not ignoble, but was in doubt
whether the three mems presence
tended to. lessen respect for the
Saviour.
BaXIinson, when asked by Ralph
Gutschen, assistant district attor-
ney, to interpret the picture, said

TWICE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

old, Of Camden, died from pneu.
monia at the Cooper Hospital. lie
was stricken with. that disease
while confined in the county jail.
On February 10 Tribbitt cut his
throat and missed two large ar.
teries by close margin. Taken
to Cooper Hospital, Tribbitt was
able to leave the following lay.
He was committed to Jail for thirty
days.
In his second attempt at suicide
Tribbitt placed a revolver to his
abdomen and pulled the trigger.
The bullet made a slight flesh
wound.
Tribbitt, who was a widower,
had been sick for q long time, and
was subject to fits OF dependency.

Desired effects

Pepsodent does more than fight film.
It brings results which modern research
proves to be essential, and which no
old method brings.
It multiplies the alkalinity of the
Saliva. That is there to neutralize
mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay.
It multiplies the starch digestant in the
saliva. That is there to digest starch
deposits which may otherwise ferment
and form acids.
Thus every use gives manifold power
to these great tooth-protecting agents
in the mouth.

had made Christ q contemporary
figure. He indicated one by Vero.
