 BETTER THAN HOME
Christina Carlson DOesrt Want
 to Go Back to Mother

One of Saturday nights Herald Camera Mtn" pictures which was headed Unusual" Was nderwritten with the following explanation: Parted two years ago from Mrs. Maria Carlson of North Arlington. N. J., daughter Christina at court hear ing said she like Baptist home better than mithcrs roof" This picture is one which has much local interest, as the home which she preferred 10 that of her mothers Is the Children's Home In this city, where she is at present living and where she has lived for the last two years.
 The girl, aged II, and her brother, Gilbert, were admitted to the local home about two years ago. where they have become ustomed to natural differences between life there and life in their home. Everything was all right until a short time ago when the mother engaged a lawyer and expressed her desire 10 have the children returnded to her and her 1 home. Other relatives and friends, who thought more of the welfare of the children than of the natural in clination of the mother 10 want the children returned to her keeping, op- posed the change and accordingly a hearing in a Newark court was ar. ranged.
 Rev. Dr. J. F. Klingberg, superin. | tendent of the home, received a com munication from the people who op. i posed the return of the children tc their mother, requesting him to take 1 the girl down to the hearing as they knew that her appearance and tht nature of her testimony would have a major interest on the outcome O the case. Accordingly pr. Klingbcrt took the girl to Newark to be pres ent at the hearing last Tuesday. Tht judge, who demonstrated much in terest in the case, took the girl into room alone and frankly put thu question to her, as to her own choice of residence. Christina, with al signs of nervousness put aside, an swered, T think I would rather g' back to the Children's Home, at leas until my mother is better able tC tako care of me and my brother"
 The judge, evidently satisfied tt abide by the decision of the girl, or dcred that she retain her prcsen l residence.
 During the course Of the hearing Christmas mother was seen to CT. at times, and then a woman whc was with her. poked her as much a! to say, Don't be foolish; stop you crying" Christina, noticing this said to Dr. klingberg, T don't lik, that woman."
 Christina, evidently undiSturbed b, the formality of the court scenes ant the hustle and bustle of New York, street, returned to New Britain Tues day night holding in her arms he favorite doll, which had been he travelling companion through tn trip.

 The remonstrance is as follows:
 "We, the undersigned. taxpayers in the city of New Britain and own- CTS of property within radius of 500 feet from 52-54 Pennington av- cnue, feeling aggrieved at the action of the former building commission, in granting a permit for the con- struction of a two-famiy house with store underneath, to one Wasil Zeiko, without having had an oppor- tunity to appear before the commits sion, for tho purpose of remonstrat- ing against the granting of said per- init, although a petition signed by a large number of property owners in that vicinity had been duly present. ed to the building commission and q request made for a hearing there on. and q written request of the ac- ton of the commission in the mat ter, and since no hearing was had and no notice of the action of the committee given, and feeling that | the former commission, in granting said permit did not act in good l faith. but Collusively and illegally, We now respectfully petition your honorable board to be given an op- portunity to he heard forthwith upon the Xciko permit, and that said permit, in the meantime be 1 temporarily revoked"
 Building Inspector Edward J. Henncssey with whom the paper was filed, was asked when it would come before the commission for action. Ido replied that the permit has been is- sued and work has been started and since the permit cannot be re- vokod, he seas no reason for bring
 ing the remonstrance before the commission.

HERE is a simple test that \ \ proves the truth that most of US have pretty teeth without ever knowing VIC have, or ever revealing if.
 This is the reason:
 Run your tongue across your teeth. and you will feel film, 4 film which absorbs discolora- tions and hides the natural color of your teeth.
 Remove it and your teeth take on a new beauty. Maybe you have really beautiful teeth with out realizing it.
 Film is charged too with most tooth troubles. It clings 10 teeth, gets into crevices and stays. Germs breed in it. And they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
 So, besides loss of tooth beauty, film is q serious danger to healthy teeth. You must re- move and constantly combat il.
New Britain herald., 1925-02-09

IL is ever present, ever forming.
 Old-time dentifrices were Un- able 10 combat it successfully. And tooth troubles were a seri- ous problem.
 Now modern science has dis covered new way. A new-type tooth paste called Pepsodent that acts to curdle film, then harm lessly tQ remove it. No soap or chalk, no harsh grit dangerous 10 enamel.
 Mail the coupon for a 10-day tube free. Or, buy a full size tube at any druggists today. See what beauty lies beneath the film on your teeth.

Why We GO Back

There are a lot of jokes about plumbers going back for their tools. But they are just jokes nothing more. The truth is, a plumber doesn't have to go back for his tools.
 When he does 20 hack 10 the shop, he goes back for parts or for material.
 Think of this: There are thous- ands of parts used in plumbing. To carry all these parts to a job would take the biggest truck ever made.
 You can save this going back Of the plumber, and, in saving that, you will save yourself money.
 Know something about your plumbing. Then, when you call your plumber, tell him what the trouble is, just as you tell other troubles to your doctor.
 Know something about the concern you do business with. Visit our beautiful showroom. Find out why our reputation for reliability and prompt service is second to none in New Britain and vicinity.
