A change has come

Dental science, after long research,
has found two ways to fight that film.
One acts to curdle film, one to daily
remove it, and without any harmful
securing.
Many careful tests by able authori-
ties proved these methods effective.
Then new-type tooth paste was Gre
ated, based on modern research. And
these two great film combatants were
embodied in it.
That tooth paste is called pepsodent.
It is now advised by dentists the world
over. To the careful people of some so
nations it is bringing new dental era.

The new state would include the

many was pledged to pay under the
Versailles treaty. The French would
expel all German state officials and
issue 'Rhineland republic money

chambers of commerce and secured
by state owned property.
French parliamentarians assured

France is willing to grant Germany
generous moratorium terms, but
only on condition that Germany ad-
mits her war guilt and reaffirms her
pledges to carry out the treaty
terms. France is willing Furthermore
to make coal and iron entente"
The war guilt question was
brought by up the semi-official news

president of the League of Rights
of Men, defending himself against
political attacks and the accusation
that he was partially responsible for
the war.
M. Poincare's supporters in the

many be compelled to admit her war
guilt and to renew her treaty pledges
