A Film Clouds Teeth
You Must Remove 1t
The way dentists advise that gives dazzling
teeth and combats tooth and gum disorders

Germs by the millions breed in film. 1t fosters
bacteria of decay and serious tooth and gum
disorders.
Film hardens into tartar And tartar plus
germs is the chief cause of pyorrhea,
Pepsodent, through the most recent findings
of dental chemistry and dental practice acts in
an utterly new and different manner. 1t first
curdles the film and then removes it IN gentle
safety to enamel.
1t acts further to firm the gums and give them
healthy coral color.
Millions have discovered it on dentists advice.
Millions use it because they know it keeps teeth
winter brighter and healthier than they dreamed
was possible. Get it wherever dentitrices are
sold, or write to The Pepsodent Co., 1l04 S.
Wabash Ave, Chicago, for free Today tube
Then note the marked difference in your smile

MANY people never know the natural white
lVl ness Of their teeth. There is only one
way-that is to remove daily the film that forms
on teeth.
Within ten days you will teeth growing
whter-will note an added brilliance. You will
find teeth less subject to decay and pyorrhea
Ordinary brushing ways fail to remove this
stubborn film successfully For this special pur-
pose dentists are urging the scientific method
through use of Pepsodent.
Film-ItS Dangers and Removal
Film is that slippery coating that forms
teeth. Run your tongue across your teeth and
you will feel it.
1t clings to teeth gets into crevices and stays.
1t absorhs the stains from food and smoking and
gives white teeth that dull, furnished look.

this new scientific way of
dental care becomes one Of
the greatest beauty treat

its unique therapeutic and
prophyiactic qualities, a
great aid in oral hygiene.

PLENTYWOOD DE-
FEATS ALL NATIONS
In CLOSE GAME

Last Sunday afternoon at the Her
aid ball Park in this city, Plentywood
defeated the All Nations ball team by
score of 2 to 1 in one of the best
ball games ever seen on the Plenty
wood diamond.
The game was characterized BY
heavy hitting and alright fielding.
For a while it looked like the col
ored boys were going to walk off with
the game by 1 score, but in the eighth
inning Plentywood staged batting
rally and brought in two runs.
In the first half of the eighth in
ming dispute arose when a member
of the All Nations raced home on q
high fly caught in left field and was
called out by the base umpire, who
ruled that he left the base before the
ball was in the fields hands. The dis.
pute waxed furious for several minutes
and it looked as though the All Ma
tion's manager was going to call hi
team from the field, but the matter
was finally settled and the game wa
resumed.
In the last half of the eighth inning
with Plentywood at bat and a man OF
first and no one down, the rain start
ed to pour down, and it looked as th
the rain would stop the game, but af
ter heavy drenching lasting severa
minutes, the rain passed over and tn
game was resumed. Plentywood go

extremely active at the convention,
and New Yorks bright, well-dressed
mayor, Walker, a brilliant, shining
personality if ever there was one, is
expected to put real "pep" into the
proceedings.
William G. McAdoo will be there,

Miss Barhart Has Hard Work Keep

She Was Too Excited to Relieve
Stultz-Says He Navigated and
Flew Ship Most of the Way.

London, June 18-Amelia Earhart
was too excited on the flight of the
Friendship across the Atlantic to re-
ieve Wilmer Stultz at the controls, it
is related in an interview which the
Daily Express says was obtained by
its BURY Port correspondent from
Miss Earhart at the Ashburnum hotel
in that town.
The correspondent relates that she
was so tired that she had difficulty
in keeping her eyes open while she
talked. She kept running her fingers
through her golden hair as she sat on
the corner of bed in her hotel room
clad in gray sweater, riding breeches
and high boots which she had worn
on the flight.
After telling of the difficulties OF
the start and how the floats of the
plane had been strained by batterine
the waves, Miss Earhart is quoted a!
saying:
"Once we were up everything wa
all right. | spent most of the time il
