AROUND THE CITY | BY NANNIE MAN on harsehack ting along a Rock Creck Park when he sud denly drew another man who was motor ing on the main road. The response was an outhurst of gresting. so ex plosive in its heartiness that t hopped off his mount—not so yeerg a man. at that—and crossed the strip of green that divided the roadways. “Sure glad 1o see vou, old boy Hope you missed the hurricane.” ““Ehould say Still it wouldn't have heen so bad after two weeks on the blue choppinees of of the Caribhean 1 see you still keep faith in horseflech.

The rider left off patting Dandy tn administer the same little dabs to the m‘fl.am' polish of the machine ‘B car’s all right—I run in and nut every day in my roadster—hought me a little place out on the houlevard with an eve to the twilight time that will be coming some day. hut when. | ever I can manage a holidav I ride | for a couple of hours—instead of play ing gzolf"—he finished off with a chuckling reference to the canvas hag that jacketed the regulation sticks in the front of the car “Yes.

A two WOMAN from the prairies trailed ‘ behind her party—a dozen or fagged-out tourists, whose | | hadges proclaimed them to be from | that section of the West.

And presently she came across | a woman who was painting. her small canvas glowing with fresh- dabhed paints. “I never sa anyhody do anvthing like that i the tourist said it. prohably by ¢ of excusing her curiosity.

Ordinary hrushing having failed to com- bat it effectively, a new way in tcoth cleancing ie bheing advised. A way that differs in formula and effect from previ- ously accepted methods. These are em- bodied in the special film-removing denti- frice called Pepsodent. Now an effective film combatant For years dental science sought ways to fight ilm. Clear teeth and healthy gums come only when film it constantly com- bated—removed every day from the teeth. Film was found to cling to teeth: to get into crevices and stay: to hold in contact with teeth food substances which fer- mented and fostered the acids of decay. Film was found to be the basis of tartar. Germe by the millions breed in it. And they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea and most gum disorders. Thus there was a universal call for an effective film-removing method. Ordinary brushing was found ineffective. Now two effective combatants have been found, ap- proved by high dental authority and em- bodied in a tooth paste called Pepsodent. Curdles and removes film Firms the Gums Pepsodent acts first to curdle the film. Then it thoroughly removes the film in gentle safety to enamel. At the same time, it acts to firm the gums—Pepsodent provides. for this pur- pose, the most recent dental findings in gum protection science knows today. Peps sodent also multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. And thus aids in neutralizing mouth acids as they form. It multiplies the starch digestant of the saliva. Thue combats starch deposits which might otherwise ferment and form acids. No other method known to present-day science emhodies protective agents like thoze in Pepsodent. Please accept Pepsodent test “Send the coupon for a 10-day tube. Brush teeth this way for 10 days. Note how thoroughly film is removed. The teeth gradually lighten as film coats go. Then for 10 nights massage the gums with Pepsodent, using your finger tips; the gums then should start to firm and harden. At the end of that time, we believe vou will agree, that Jnext to regular dental care, Pepsodent,” the quality dentifrice, provides the utmost science has discovered for better tooth'and gum protection.
