Under high dental super
vision, the Pepsodent
formula is constantly kept
abreast of modern medical
thought. Use Pepsodent
twice a day. See your
dentist twice a year. That
is the utmost science
knows to do in keeping
teeth white and healthy.

It's film that turns teeth dull
and cloudy-that fosters serious
tooth and gum disorders. You
must remove it daily

DECENTLY hundreds have written letters asking
IN for scientific explanation of the new method
of tooth and gum care known as Pepsodent.
Written statements in current magazines attesting
it from people whose smiles famous in theatrical
and social circles has caused considerable comment
That the dental profession in overwhelming
bers is using it in daily practice at the chair and is
prescribing it to patients has made deep impressions
Thousands thus influenced have changed lately
from ordinary brushing ways to this. So that you,
too may better know the vital scientific truths
rounding Pepsodent we publish this advertisement.
A priceless scientific formula,
not one CHOSE appeal is price
Pepsodent never was nor ever will be made'to COM
pete in price with cheap dentrice Based on years
of scientific research and new-day discoveries, its
formula is priceless.
The price to you is based upon great volume. To
lower it would to take away the costly agents
for which science recommends it. We could make
Pepsodent to sell at lower price, but it would not
be the Pepsodent millions employ to whiten
cloudy teeth as no other method WILL and to combat
serious tooth and gum disorders.
That's why we say: BEWARE, WHERE
PRECIOUS TEETH ARE PLACED AT STAKE!

To-day dental science almost without exception urges

To film alone is traced cloudy, stained-looking
teeth. Film, too, is the chief cause of the most
dreaded tooth and gum disorders. And in later life
these develop grave disturbances throughout the

Everyday fatalities by the score may be indirectly

Through clinical study and in practice, thousands

It was q torrid July afternoon and
Milly painted with the heat as she ran

third She had come out bare-headed
and the sun burned her head and

she returned home to find Aunt Mandy

But Milly had grown used to them.
A week after returning to Valleyville
Milly began to lose color and curve and

found herself back in Valleyville.
Back in valleyville in four rooms with
her duty. Her duty was Aunt Mandy.
Milly had acquired Aunt Mandy by
the direct process of inheritance. The

she had fallen to the care of Milly
Milly kept the four rooms for Aunt
Mandy, provided her with fuel, food

downstairs to see that these were
properly administered. For Aunt
Mandy had never been strong either of
mind or body, and now that she was
getting old She simply sat down and
stared her time away. Always sitting,
always staring, arousing a little If

THE EVENING STORY

Fuller, the farmer who grew onions
and sprouts in such quantities for the
city markets that he was getting rich
thereby, who owned the best car in
Westport and the best house and the
best piece of land anywhere about
there, paid her as much attention as
he did any one, perhaps trif1e more.
It was generally supposed at Mrs.
Bailey's that Miss Van Etten would
eventually be his choice, for Miss Van
Etten was handsome in dark,
dreamy way. However, nothing was
settled yet, and If Milly Lane dare hope
a little. who could blame her?
Thus for nine months Milly led the
life of a normal young woman who
works hard, has good food, is respected
and liked, and even has gleam OF
romance to light her way. Then about

said "And If she wants to take walks
she can walk all she wants to on my
land. You see, Milly, I'll just appro-
pirate your duty, and all you'll have to
do is to love me and brighten up life Tor
me with your little red head"
The following day Milly and win
were married at the parsonage. Then
| they packed the few things they needed,
put Aunt Mandy in the car between
them and flew back to Westport. Mrs.
| Dunno promised to look after the con-
tents of the four rooms.
Poor Milly!" sighed Mrs. Dunno.
I'm glad she's going to be happy In

FIGHTS AGAIN
SWEEP RACES
Years of Conque s t s
Prove Supremacy

Another entry in the long list Of
speedway races which have been
dominated BY straight eight cylinder
cars j. recorded il the results Of
Tire 1928 famous indianapolis Memo
rial day classic. according to Dubois
Young. president OF he Hupp Motor
Car corporation.
This is the fifth consecutive year

a conclusive demonstration OF the
basic %soundness Of he straight eight

They are chosen because racing men,

straight eight because they know the

HALL STREET
Is CONQUERED
Famous Test Hill Is
Pulled BY a
Chrysler

Another famous and severe test
hill-Hall street in Portland. Oregon
has fallen before the motor cars
progress. "A Chrysler "72" sedan
conquered it under newspaper super
vision, using only high gear from a
standing start at the bottom.
Hall street is famed the Far West
over. declares the oregon Journal,
adding that "many cars able to make
outstanding records on such hills rs
Pixies Peak have fallen down com
pletely when put 10 the test on this
stamina-divulging thoroug h a e."
Only five blocks long, it presents
two difficulties that heretofore have
resisted successfully all efforts Of
closed cars TO conquer il in high
gear. The first Is a IA per cent
grade Of two blocks, then one Of IL
for several hundred feet followed
Immediately BY a hairpin turn Of 80
feet radius, "a feet width and z I-2
per cent grade. The hairpin Is sue
cecded directly by a 1871 per cent
grade-representing a foot rise in
elevation for every 5.T3 feet travelled.
THE first two blocks were run
with ease in high continues the

around this nicely, hitting it at rs

took a heavy toll so that the Chrys-

From the hairpin to the top is the
1877 per cent grade, yet at no time
was the speed below 10 miles an

One Of the principal storm cen

fitted into the precise production
