George ceased to he the bold
young bandit of a few hours before.
Despite his' labors of the afternoon
his appetite seemed lacking during
the evening meal at the home. As
darkness settled down George's lip
quivered a little and his eyes had
an unusual glisten.
Prisoner Released.
George Cott, superintendent at the
home, could not fail to notice these
signs. To him they meant the youth

or so later he took the joyful young

James, however, having reached
the advanced age of 15. and being
the chief of the "Three Black Fin

the emotions displayed by George.
and will remain at Riverview in

K. T. Hrjilen, who "recently re

by a new ordinance abolishing

parking.
"I believe we're the only large
city in the com. try that doesn't make
cars park parallel to the curb." Mr.
Heyden nays, "We lose about 2l)
fret in the width of our stieits by
diagonal parking.
"Vastly more traffic tan travel in
a Mrrct where cars are parked par

streets, lure an automobile often
has to follow a meet car for half

who alleccd nonfeasance, mis

The purpose of the provision which
has had the approval of Senator

was to encourage favorable treat

Senator Smoot of Utah was the
only member of the senate who un

These whiter teeth mean safer teeth as well
Only
No doubt the great reason why millions use Pep
. sodent is to get prettier teeth. It removes the
' dingy film.
But science has more important objects. Pepso
dent brings five effects, and all of them mean bet
ter tooth, protection,.;-,
-...v.,-.;-; Tht?jruinous film
Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to
teeth, gets betweert the teeth and stay3. Old meth
ods of brushing do not effectively combat it So it
often lingers long.
Film absorbs stains, making the teeth tfook
cloudy. Countless teeth are thus made dingy.
,-- Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food sub
stance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the
acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.
'" Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar,
are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Also of other seri
ous troubles. Most of the tooth and gum attacks
are now traced to that film.
t Must combat it daily
v ' After, dUigent research science has found 'two
way to combat that film. Many careful tests have
proved them, iow leading dentists everywhere ;
advise their daily use.
Both are embodied in a modern tooth paste
Pepsodent, Every use attacks the film in two ef
fective ways. It also brings three other result!
which have proved essential. , .
: ; ' Fights starch and acid r
Pepsodent does what fruit acids do. It multl- .
' plies the salivary flow. It multiplies the starch di
gestant in the saliva, to digest starch deposits that,
cling. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva, to ,
neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay.
These are Nature's great tooth-protecting agents.
Every use of Pepscdent multiplies their powers.
Effects are apparent
Millions now know the delightful effects. Anj
one who will can quickly see and feel them.
Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how
clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence
of the viscous film. , See how teeth whiten as the
film-coats disappear. Then read the reasons in the
book we send. '
