Teeth regain dazzling whiteness

ETLM is the cause of dull, dis
L colored teeth. 1t is also the
cause of serious tooth and gum
disorders. Run your tongue across
your teeth and you will feel this
film. 1t absorbs stains from food
and smoking and turns white teeth
dull. 1t clings to teeth and hardens
into tartar. Germs by the millions
breed in it. And germs, with tar
tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Ordinary brushing fails to remove
film successfully. So dentists urge
the special flm-removing dentifrice
called Pepsodent.

BATTLE LETTER
 BY WELLINGTON

London, May 2-CUP)--A letter written by Wellington at 3 o'clock on the morning of June 18 18l5 when his armies defeated Napoleon ta Waterloo has been sold to an anonymous private collector for $l,l50.
 The letter was among thousands of official notes addressed to Sir Charles Stuart afterward Lord Stuart de Rothesay - by Yelling ton and other historic figures of the times.
 Several letters were taken from the collection by the British For eign office before the sale was al- lowed to proceed.
 Tn the letter from Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington told Sir Charles, then ambassador to Paris:
 Pray keep the English quiet If you can. Let them all prepare to move, but neither be in hurry or fright, as all will yet turn out well"
 The collection included 51 other letters written by Wellington, but they brought much less than the Waterloo note, because of It's his- torically important date.

about 9 o'clock last night.
 He had not gone to bed, but had remained up apparently until just before the fire started, according to Mir. Monzani. Seized with one of his dizzy spells, MT. Tyler is believed to have grasped at the table for sup- port, and as he fell, overturned a lighted oil lamp, which started the blaze. The body was found in the pront part of the house, and ap- parently the clothing had not been removed. It was badly charred.
 Relatives Awakened
 George Driver, brother-in-law of the dead man, said he had been awakened by an unidentified auto mobile driver blowing the horn in front of his home. MT. Driver said the interior of Tyler's house was in flames. He rushed across the road to awaken his brother-in-law and broke one of the windows with his fist but the fire had gained headway and 1t was impossible to get inside the house.
 The Naugatuck fire department sent several companies to the scene, under the direction of Chief Mil- ton Calvin, but 1t was impossible to save the house, which burned to the ground. Bremen prevented the spread of the blaze to the rear of the house, however. Chief John A. Adamson of the Naugatuck police department, was also at the scene. Tylers body was plainly discernable in the ruins of his home, which he had built himself about 25 years APn

Under the plan, submitted to Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy by an in- terested citizen, men on relief work ing in several shifts would be as- signed to a detailed system to col- lect parking fees from motorists parking on streets in congested areas. Such a plan is said to have been employed for many years in Paris. It is also similar to the park ing meter system, but has the ad- vantage, it is claimed, of providing employment in addition to creating revenue.
 Moderate Fee
 The plan would serve to clear the streets of all-day parkers and make 1t possible for motorists bound on ordinary errands to find curb space, now at a premium. A moderate parking fee would be charged and no charge would be made where a parking space is used for less than 10 minutes.
 It works as follows: When the driver draws up to the curb, the col- lector will punch the time, and either hand the ticket to the driver or push 1t under his windshield wiper. The collector vii lthen note the license number on the stub of the ticket. The return time and the amount paid need only be punched in the collectors book. The collector will report the money collected as shown by the punched stubs. Tn the event the driver does not turn in his ticket and settle with the collector, the stub will be as effective as the police ticket given for overtime parking.
