decay. It multiplies the starch di-

may otherwise ferment and form
acids.
Cld-time tooth pastes had the
opposite effect. They reduced those
natural tooth-protecting agents in
the mouth.

Careful people of some so ma
lions now use Pepsodent, largely
by dental advice. You see the re-
suits in clustering teeth wherever
you go today.

A Period of Good viii

Christmas as period of good WILL
rejoicing and the interchange of pres
ents is readily traced to the Roman
Saturnalia, which was celebrated at
about the same relative time of the
year as is our modern Christmas.
During the Saturnalia there was uni
versal mirth, friends Toasted together
and exchanged presents; gifts were
made to the poor; no war was de-
clared; no capital executions were
permitted to take place and even the
slaves were granted the right to
speak, although usually speech was
denied them.-George Newell Moran

And it was with this determination
not to mar her dear dads Christmas
that Ruth Alice ran down the stairs
and tripped into the library with a
smile. But such a forced smile! The
maids noticed it, and the butler, too.
And they all puzzled about it and
whispered among themselves. They
were all very fond of pretty Ruth
Alice, and it grieved them to see her
so out of sorts, on Christmas Of all
times
"And she's been like this for more
than a week." Flora sighed to the
butler. Just isn't interested in any
thing. Oh, yes, there's one thing still
can excite her. That is the postman.
She sends me out forty times a day
to see if he's dropped letters In the
box and forgot to ring. Yesterday she
