What you’re looking at

This page contains two distinct sections: **Left side - "Rhymed Reviews":** A poetry review of a book called "Success" by Samuel Hopkins Adams (Houghton Mifflin Co.). The verse satirizes the American success narrative, following a young man's rapid climb from railway worker to metropolitan reporter to editor-in-chief—only to have his career derailed when a corrupt newspaper owner ("bad Owner") interferes, forcing him to abandon his ambitions for love ("his own beloved lo-lady"). The poem's author, Arthur Guiterman, suggests that worldly success and personal happiness are fundamentally incompatible. Below this is a brief political commentary by "E.S.M." criticizing H.G. Wells's advocacy for European disarmament, arguing the U.S. Constitution's two-thirds Senate requirement for treaties makes American insistence on anything internationally impossible. **Right side:** A full-page advertisement for Pepsodent toothpaste, featuring a glamorous woman and promoting a "10-Day Tube Free" trial, emphasizing the product's ability to remove film from teeth and prevent decay.

Has not the Constitution got bracelets and leg-irons on our Uncle Sam and fastened him se- curely to a state of international inac- tion?

You should learn how much it means to you and yours. Clouded by a film Your teeth are clouded more or less by film. The fresh film is viscous— you can feel it with your tongue. It enters crevices and Old methods of brushing leave much of that film intact. The film absorbs stains, so the teeth look discolored. Film is the basis of tartar.

And these two great film combatants are em- bodied in it. Two other effects Pepsodent brings two other effects which authority now deems essential. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is Nature’s neutralizer for acids which cause decay. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube and watch these effects for a while. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the vis- cous film. See how teeth whiten as the film-coats disappear. Then judge the benefits by what you see and feel.
