Ee 91 Our Mad, Mad Morals To Those Who Want “LJELLO, Henry! Here I am!” “ Well, old man, where did you come from?” “Just back from the wilds of Mex- co. Four years since I've seen a newspaper. Come and help me ccle- brate my home-coming.” “Why, of course! I'll take the after- noon off and—" “Come along now. I'm simply fam- ished for a porterhouse steak, an inch thick—" “My dear fellow, don’t you know that there is no such thing as steak? The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals took that in hand long ago. We have neither fish, flesh nor fowl on our tables to-day.” “Great Caesar! What do you cat, then?” “ Vegetables, milk and an occasional egg. had as it sounds—” “We'll have to make the best of it, and fill up on liquids.” I know a place nearby my dear man, with Not so T suppose * Certainly. where they make delicious lemonade and tea.” “Who wants lemonade and tea at a celebration? I'm going to order a quart of champagne—” “Oh, no, you're not! No wines or liquors. The country is bone-dry from Gulf to Lakes and from Ocean.” “What? we can. Ocean to Well, we must do the best After we've had lunch we will go to a matinee and see a jolly Musical Comedy. “Impossible! = Musical Comedies have been put under the ban by the Society for the Elevation of Stage Morals. We might go to an illustrated lecture on ‘Protoplasm,’ however. 1 think that is the only amusement open this afternoon.” “Do you mean to tell me that there is no vaudeville?” I do. You see, the League for the Suppression of Unnecessary Nonsense ye WHY HUMANE LITTLE ROBBIE’S MOTHER MISSED THE FLY-SWATIER Your teeth are not rightly cleaned if |they discolor or decay, if tartar forms or | pyorrhea starts. You may brush them twice daily, but |the great tooth wrecker—a slimy film—is | not being ended by it. The cause of most tooth troubles is an ever-present film. You feel it with your tongue. That is what discolors—not your teeth. It is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. We ask you to try it, to watch its effects, then look at your teeth in ten days. It will change all | your ideas on teeth cleaning. Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of |albumin. The film is albuminous matter. The | object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to con- stantly combat it. This way is made possible by a new discovery. A harmless method has been found to activate the pepsin. Five governments have already granted patents. The old activating agent was an acid, harmful to the teeth. And pepsin must be activated.

Pepsadéent by Cleaner Teeth All Statements Approved by High Dental Authorities You Must Remove the Film So it is that film, not merely food debris, which the tooth brush must combat. The tooth brush alone is inadequate. The film is clinging. It gets into crevices, hardens and stays. The old methods of teeth cleaning fail to dissolve it. Dental science, after many years of searching, has found a way to combat it. Able authorities have proved this fact by convincing clinical tests. Leading dentists everywhere accept it. This way is now embodied in a denti- frice called Pepsodent. And we gladly supply a 10-Day Tube for any one to test.
