Few escape such troubles when
they brush teeth in the old ways.
Dental science has now found
two ways to fight that film. One
disintegrates the film, one removes
it without harmful securing.
Able authorities have proved
these methods effective. A new
type tooth paste has been created
to apply them daily. The name is
Pepsodent. Leading dentists every
where advise it. Now careful peo-
pie of some 50 nations use it every
day.

Seek Governors
Assistance to
Secure LIQUOR

Among the odd requests that nave
been received at the office of Gov.
Baxter during the past few months
are those asking the governors as
sistance to secure some form OF IN
toXicating liquor. Some of these are
couched in terms that lead to suspi-
cion of sincerity
A few weeks ago a man insisted
that in his particular case only al
cohol could save the life over which
he was Watching. If the the govern
or failed to help him circumvcnt the
law, he (the governor) would have a
human life charged to his account.
Nothing known to the medical
science would do; alcohol was the
only panacea.
From another source came a de-
mand from a professed physician in
phrases that were defiant and de-
mandatory. He was going to have
what he wanted in the way of booze
and "at once" or he would turn the
government bottom up.
The Latest Letter
| The latest letter on this question Is
as follows;

rect me? The, lumber is sold at the

Whittier Teeth in 10 Days
Make this free test. Combat the film

This is how countless people get
the whittier teeth you admire. They
combat the film that makes teeth
cloudy. Millions do it daily. And
SO will you when you make this
test and see what it means to your
teeth.
1t hides the luster
Film is that viscous coat you
feel. No ordinary tooth paste can
effectively combat it, SO much of it
remains. Soon it becomes dis
colored. then forms dingy coats.
That is how teeth lose their beauty.
Film also ruins teeth. 1t holds
food substance which ferments and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in
contact with the teeth to cause de-
cay. Germs breed by millions in
it. They, with tartar, are the chief
cause of pyorrhea.
