hung UP an increase in life insur-
ance sales in March compared to
the same month in 1885 amounting
to II per cent, according to the

all the more remarkable since the

per cent behind sales for the same
period last year. g.. 49,.

Teeth regain dazzling whiteness

EILM is the cause of dull, dis
i 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 specialsfilm-removing dentifrice
called Pepsodent.
St. Croix tribune. [volume] (Christiansted, St. Croix, V.I.) 1922-1937, 1936-05-19

First, Pepsodent curdies film,
then removes it in gentle safety to
enamel. No other way will make
teeth as sparkling white.
Pepsodent contains no purnice,
harmful grit or crude abrasive. 1t

it for cleaning the soft teeth of
children.

DO WOMEN SUFFER
MORE. THAN MEN?

Physicians tell us the nervous sys-
tenn of woman is more sensitive than
that of man. And her nerves are
more susceptible to the influences
that produce nerve tension" (strainD
which is only another name for
pain"
That is why women especially
benefit from Capudine, a pleasant
tasting, quick-acting remedy which
relieves high nervous tension and
pain by soothing the nerves. For
nervous headache, neuralgia, and
periodic pains Capudine is ideal. If
Capudine does not relieve, you may
be sure there is some organic condi-
ton which should receive the atten-
ton of your oculist, dentist or family
physician. Get Capudine today, and
if you do not prefer it to anything
else, the manufacturers will cheerfully
refund the price. Ask for Capudine

Not General and LASTS Only
Short While; More Is
Hoped For

Welcome showers fell here for
about 20 minutes shortly before noon
today. Just how far out the rain ex-
tended was not learned, tsut it did not
last long. Prospects in early after
roCn pointed to additional showers
during the day, however
While the precipitation was a help,
but was quickly soaked into the
ground, parching under a drought of
seven weeks and more, the worst IN
the memory of citizens here for this
season of the year.
Farmers are waiting for rains to
finish planting their tobacco, but in
some instances the planting has been
undertaken by sticking the plants and
watering them, hoping for subsequent
showers to enable them to take root
and start growth.
