Teeth regain dazzling whiteness

EILM is the cause of dull, dis
4 colored teeth. It is also the
cause of serious tooth and gum
disorders. Run your tongue across
your teeth al you will feel this
film. It absorbs stains from food
and smoking and turns white teeth
dull. It 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 specialifilm-removing dentifrice
ed"Pepsodent.
St. Croix tribune. [volume] (Christiansted, St. Croix, V.I.) 1922-1937, 1936-05-05

First, Pepsodent curdles film,
then removes it in gentle safety to
enamel. No other way will make
teeth as sparkling white.
Pepsodent contains no pumice,
harmful grit or crude abrasive. 1t
is so safe that dentists recommend
it for cleaning the soft teeth of
children.

PLANTING SPEEDED
IN SHELTER BELT
Forest Service Spurs Work
as House Bans 81, 200, 600
for Project.

While the House is attempting to
strip the Forest Service Of its shelter
belt, the Forest Service Is letting the
belt out; several notcl1es.
The House Appropriations Commit
tee turned down budget request for
/ 81, ,000. 900 to continue the project for
planting trees from the Canadian
border to Texas. The Forest Service.
however, is planting away at great
pace and hopes to have 6o,0oo. 900
more trees in the ground out West
before the money stops coming in.
Before June 80, when appropriations
| for the project will stop Il the House
has its way, parts o. i've or six States
will Be brlstling with little trees which
the New Deal planners hoped would
check duststorms when they grow up.
The past tense Of the verb hope" is
used because the trees won't do much
good without several hundred million
more companions, and Congress seems
to be in . mood to chuck the whole
business
Money Adequate for This Year.
Forest Service officials said they
had enough money to carry on the tree
shelter belt project for the rest of the
current fiscal year. About i've and
ne-quarter million trees were planted
last year and forty to nifty million
more are to 60 in the ground this
Spring. Scattered throughout the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma
and the Texas Panhandle is 125 miles
of shelter belt strip and 4,800 acres
Of farmstead planting-trees set
around farm buildings, rural school
buildings. etc.
Before the money gives out. 1924
additional miles Of shelter strip and
1884 acres Of farmstead sites can be
planted, 1t was said.
Owners OF the land on which the
trees are planted have agreed to love.
honor and nurse the seedlings until
they get big enough to take care Of
themselves. So there is no danger,
officials said, that the little trees will
be left to fend for themselves in q
climate where fathers pray that there
may be rain so their children can see
what it looks like before they die.
Nurseries Leased BY u. s.
The Government has been leasing
commercial nurseries to give the right
start in life to the trees that are going
out to do battle with wind and erosion
and to determine what trees can take
it," If the appropriation is refused,
the leases will have to be terminated.
Practically all existing nursery stock
| will be planted before the nurseries
are given up, officials said.
The Forest Service admits it is upset
| over the dark prospects for its shelter
belt project, but points out that under
the Clark -McNary act it may continue
to cooperate with States in distrib-
uting trees for shelter belt planting.
The number of trees that could be
