Those many people yon meet with glistening teeth do something you should do. Yon see them everywhere today. They have gained new beauty and new charm. But they have also gained new cleanliness, new safety. They use anew method of teeth .leaning. Let this test show how much it means to you. They combat the dingy film Yon feel on teeth a viscous film. That is what clouds teeth. Under old-way brushing, much of that film remains. It becomes discolored, then forms dingy coats, to make the teeth unsightly and unclean. Film also 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; Such troubles became almost universal, due to attacks caused by film.

By SEA Service HEW YORK, March 4 Selena Royle, weight ICS pounds, i___J looked well enough when she played the role of Solveig in Ibsen's "Peer Gent.” Then she was cast for the part of a slim Spanish senorita in “Rust.” It was easy enough for Selena to change from a blonde to a brunette senorita. This is the way she cut her 168 pounds down to 128: "I began with my diet,” she explains. ”1 am one of these healthy creatures with the healthy woman's appetite. I could arise in the morn.ing and look with pleasure upon a baked apple swimming in thick cream, some bacon and eggs and a few slices of buttered toast —with lots of butter. Rut no more! “Now I begin my day with an apple only. Then for luncheon I feast on a bowl of soup, a dish of lettuce and a cup of tea. In the evening I join the family at the board and eat nearly anything I want if it isn't too starchy or too fat.” After the diet had been rearranged thus she went in for exercise. “I arranged.” she goes on, “with a gymnasium instructor to give me vigorous exercises twice a week at

Science has sought ways to combat that film. It has found two which proved effective in many careful tests. One disintegrates the film at all stages of formation, one removes it without harmful scouring. Authorities have endorsed these methods. A new-type tooth paste has been created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent Leading dentists everywhere began to advise it. Now careful people of some 50 nations employ this tooth paste daily. This short test is convincing The user of Pepsodent sees at once results which old ways never brought. The new benefits are necessary. Pepsodent multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is there to neutralize mouth acids. It multiplies the ptyahn in saliva. That is there to digest starch deposits on teeth. The combined results bring one anew conception of what brushing should accomplish. „ Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Martha Lee Says Child Loses Ideal When, Mother Fails in Crisis When Gladys Ellis was 9 years old, her mother committed suicide. Today, Gladys is in prison, confessed slayer of a prison matron. Her life, since her mother’s death, is recorded on reform school and prison records, ,

Indianapolis has become familiar with Gladys’ story in tlif past week. A child naturally idealizes his mother, from the moment tie is old enough to think. If she fails him when he needs her most, something vital goes out of his life. And still, mothers, while protesting their love for their children, deliberately plan actions which will destroy the children’s faith in their ideals. A weak pretense of love, surely. Unique Proposition Dear Mias Lee: lam 2!> My wife is 20 We have been married four years and have a child 3 years old. We are separated for the fourth time within six moths.

LETTER FROM .JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CONTINUED. The telephone, dear, was from Ruth. You will be glad to know that she and I have made it all up. I guess I was wrong, but I was jealous. It hurt me to think that you had given a confidence even to another woman that you wouldn’t give to me. I am satisfied now, however, that she did not receive the money from Harry because the other day I happened in at her shop, and honestly it seemed to me that all the women in town were buying the most elaborate underwear at the most exorbitant prices. Ruth confided to me that someone had put up the money for her and that she was glad she could make at least 75 per cent for that someone. I expect it was Walter Burke gave her the money. Files Suit Ruth tells me she has entered suit against her husband for desertion, and although she did not say so, I expect it Is agreed between them that she will marry Walter when he comes back. I hope she won’t be sorry. You know, Leslie. I never did-veere for Burke, but I made such a mistake in Ellington that. I almost doubt my summing up of any man's character after that. To return to Mrs. AtherHon. Os course. I insisted that she was very foolish and that you feit rather hurt at the stand she had taken about not mixing friendship with her business. “Perhaps it is silly,” she answered, “but it is just one of my little vanities. I want to feel that all J get from you I deserve because I am an efficient business woman. I have already received more from Leslie than even friendship should take. She is the sweetest woman I have ever known. She has stood by me through thick and thin. I hope some day to let her know how I appreciate her.” Os course. I fully agreed with her. I lenew you had only to storm the citadel to take mother's heart into your keeping. Poor Mother! Poor mother! Naturally she is lrvaely and anyone who shows her the least attention gains her friendship at once. She thinks she chooses her friends entirely upon their character and worthiness when the truth is, like most people, she chooses them entirely upon their seeming Interest in her. Mother Is very self-centered. She doesnt’ take much interest in anything outside the four walls of her home and herself. She lives almost entirely in the past and she, of course, thinks that all young people are wrong if they for one moment do anything or say anything that was not done or said when she was young. I have been very angry with her, lyeslie, since our marriage, because through the influence of that venomous old maid, Priscilla Bradford, she has not treated you with the consideration that vou deserved. like a Child But I guess that is all over now for she is like a child, forgets all her quarrels and had feelings of yester-

Atfer all, she is my mother, and I really cannot do enough for her to make up for her sacrifices and hard work for me when I was a boy. It makes me very happy to know that you are helping me do this.
