Why People Smile
They have found the way to whittier teeth

One disintegrates the 6im at an
stages of formation. One removes
it without harmful securing.
These methods have been proved
by many careful tests. A new-type
tooth paste has been created to ap-
ply them daily. The name is Pep
sodent.
Careful homes all the world over
have adopted this method, largely
by dental advice. Wherever you
60 now you see the results.
Ten days will tell
The results of Pepsodent are
quickly seen and felt. For instance,
Pepsodent multiplies the alkalinity
of the saliva. That is there to neu-
tralize mouth acids. It nultiplies
the ptyalin in saliva. That is there
to digest starch deposits on teeth.
These combined effects bring a
new conception of clean teeth.
, Send the coupon for a To-Day
Tube. Note how clean the teeth
feel after using. Mark the absence
of the viscous film. See how teeth
become whittier as the flm-coats
disappear.
The results will bring a revela-
ton which you never will forget.

Silver Traders
Flock to America
To PLY Trade

New York. Feb 1S-(A. P.)-Shifting
of the silver centre of tie world from
London to New York is in progress,
according to bullion and silver ex-
change experts, who report that SUI
premacy in the market is slowly, but
surely, passing from Great Britain to
the United States.
Reduced transportation costs made
possible by direct shipments of silver
from this country to The Far Eastern
nations, the largest consumers of the
metal, have brought about the change
Formerly American shipments were
made in large volume to London,
from where re shipment was made to
the Orient.
Total silver exports from the Unit
ed States direct to the Far East in
1923 amounted to SG,0G0,000 ounces as
against 69,O00,000 ounces in the pre-
Ceding year, while London shipped
only 76,O00,O00 ounces, Of which 49,
100000 We're re-shipments from the
United States.
Despite the sterling basis OF foreign
trade with India and China, giving
London. with its large trade in silver
and silver exchanges. an advantage,
the New ork market offers the at
"Ae'StAcil VI NhOopSA SiiipplIo Sliii CD
to the silver buyers. New York also
has been helped by the broadening
market in Far Eastern exchanges
lcssening the risks of sterling, rupee
and Shanghai tael fluctuations. AS a
result this market is receiving con-
tinually increasing silver buying or
dets.
London's experience of several
hundred years and its more extensive
facilities for handling speculative
transactions. however. viii enable it
to hold the preponderart silver trad
ing position for some time, experts
believe.
At the same time. they assert, the
London market is at disadvantage
| because it can no longer obtain from
continentl Europe large quantities of
silver coin to be melted down and re-
sold, a process which since 1915 has
added 400,000,000 ounces to the cX-
ports for India and China.
The United States. on the other
hand. is benefited by its own large
production. which has been swellcd
by an increased output from lead.
zinc and copper companies. which are
also silver producers. Cessation of
purchases by the government under
the Pittman Act also has made more
silver available for export.

tons that will aid the board in their
