Film is that viscous coat you feel. tt clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. The tooth brush, used in old ways, leaves much of it intact. So millions of teeth are dimmed and ruined by it. Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look dingy. 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. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Now a new era Now dental science, after years of re- search, has found ways to fight film. Able authorities have proved their ‘efficiency. 2, 10-Day Tube Free THE PEPSODENT COMPANY Dept. 487, 1104 8.

The film is attacked in two efficient ways. The teeth are so highly polished that film cannot easily adhere. Then it multiplies the salivary flow. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva, to digest the starch deposits which cling. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay. Thus it increases, ina natural way, Nature's teetb-protecting forces. See what this means. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using.

O ladies twain sings Mr. Hope (I mean, of course, Sir A, H. Haw- kins), Who fought, to use a vulgar trope, Like two implacable grimalkins. For Waldo gave a precious ring To lovely Miss Lucinda Knyv Which Nina Frost, the jealous thir Resented, more or less in pri Then, pat upon her wedding day, When all were gathered, peer flunky, Lucinda bolted—ran away With Don Arsenio, called “ Monkey.” Their lines of life somewhat crossed ; Arsenio was rash and flighty. But Waldo married Nina Frost Who waxed exceeding rich and mizt were And yet, though fish of every kind Were caught in Nina’s golden dragnet, Her foolish menfolk seemed to find Lucinda’s charm the stronger magnet. And when Arsenio was dead, To add to Nina’s deep vexation, Her rival happily was wed To Julius, Waldo’s near relation. So gladness fill3 Lucinda’s cup. While Nina wishes her in Hayti, Lucinda thinks they'll make it up When both of them are over eighty. Thus ends the tale (though not the feud), A tale well-dressed from hat to gaiters. The author—may we not conclude?— Has surely known some lovely haters. Arthur Guiterman. comicbooks.com
