Modern science has discovered a new method — different in formula, action and effect from any you have ever used, The coupon brings free a 10-day tube. Look for film on your teeth—that’s the cause. How to combat it Look at your teeth. If dull, cloudy, run your tongue across them, You will feel a film. That’s the cause of the trouble. You must fight it. Film is that viscous coat which you feel. It clings to teeth, gets into crev- ices and stays. It hides the natural luster of your teeth. Germs breed in it. And they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. So dingy teeth mean more than loss of good appearance. They may indicate grave danger to your teeth and gums. Now greater tooth beauty and firm gums Ordinary tooth pastes were unable to cope adequately with that film. Not one could effectively combat it. Harsh grit tended to injure the enamel. Now modern dental science has found new combatants. Their action is to curdle film and then harmlessly remove it. They are embodied in a new-type tooth paste called Pepsodent—a scientific method that is changing the tooth cleaning habits of the world. Send coupon for free 10-day test Make the test today.

Gilbert, of light opera fame, was always full of whimsies. We quote a story about him from a recent English publication. At the Garrick Club one evening, he made the astounding statement that Shakespeare was a very obscure writer. His statement was immediately protested by most of those present and’ he was asked to prove it. “Well,” said Gilbert, “what do you make of this passage: ‘I would as lief be thrust through a quickset Hedge as cry “plosh” to a callow throstle.’ "” “There's nothing obscure in that,” said one member. “It's perfectly clear. Here's a man, a great lover of the feathered songsters, who, rather than disturb the carolling of the little warbler, prefers to go through the intense pain of thrusting himself through a thorny hedge. But I don’t know that passage; in what play does it occur?” “In no play,” said Gilbert. “I've just invented it. And jolly good Shakespeare, too!"—Boston Transcript. Nothing better for. stugsts Bitters. Sample by mail, 25 ts. C. W. Abbott & Co. Baltimore, Md. Lost, on Lake Geneva— The lady, unnamed but described as “the wife of a New York millionaire,” who lost her ring en route from Lausanne to Evian deserves the recog- nition which is granted her in a cabled news dispatch from Switzerland, The lady was crossing Lake Geneva in a motor launch when the ring dropped overboard. It was a platinum ring, and valuable. “Stop,” she told the boatman, “IT want the lake drained, and I'll pay for it.” This is in the best American tradition—New York World. Revived Theodore Hook, the famous London wit, once sat in a coffee house gazing at a pompous individual. The latter sent a waiter to ask if there was anything he could do for Mr. Hook, “I was just wondering,” was the genial response, “if anybody could possibly be as important as you look.” —Louisville Courier-Journal. What He Lacked A colored agent was summoned before the Insurance Commi ner. “Don't you know,” said the Commis- sioner, “that you can’t sell life insurance without a State license?” “Boss,” said the darkey, “you suah said a moufful. I knowed I couldn't sell it, but I didn’t know the reason.”—Forbes. “Wuat’s economy, Dad?” “Anything your mother wants to buy, my son."—Tatler (London). hb appetite than Abbott's Sailing Eastward from New York Jan. 14th on the famous Cunarder “FRANCONIA” As to ship, equipment, management, cuisine, service and value this world cruise stands beyond compare.
