CITY SPARROWS.
After Food Scraps,
The numorous and over-in- creasing tribos of Brisbane's little brown sparrows have been some- what at a loss since the city schools broke up for the holidays. As soon as a schooi bell tolls the end of rocess or luncheon hour, tho hungry Rocks immediately used to take possession of the de- serted playgrounds for the scrapsi loft by the children, and tho Echools are always the chief feeding ground al city sparrows.
Occasionally a pet wit or oven a kookalarra--birdy just begin- ning to take to town life-joinu the throng. lu te wild state in Europe, wharuvor It is still really a wild bird, the sparrow TA An insect cator, but in taking up its residenco with man the world over it has chang-
ed its feeding habits and is now chiefly a vegetarian.
Since the schoula havo baon closed the sparrows, altor a few futile and probably bowildered visits at the usual hours, have learned that their regular daily sources of supply are at an ond,) and suburban gardonors are in: | ConBoquenco having increanod visits from them. Their chief fallback, however, is now Turbot- stroet, whero fruit scraps and abundant grain of different kinds aro spilt daily, but the city sparrows will no doubt hail with delight the rooponing of the schoole for their natural onemies - tho schoolboys Brisbean Courier.

You can buy no pearls at any price to compare with pretty
teeth.
Then why not fight the film an teeth, as millions are doing now? Make this free test, and see what new beauty comes.
Remove the cloud
Most teeth are clouded by a film-that viscous film you feel, It clings and stays, because no ordinary tooth paste can effec tively combat it.
Food stains, etc., discolor it, then it forms dingy coats. That in what makes teeth unsightly.
Film also causes most footh troubles. It 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
a.
troubles are almost uni- versal among people who don't Sght film.
That is why dental science han been seeking film combatants. Two have now been found. One disintegrates the film at all stages of formation. One removes it without harmful scouring.
Able Authorities have proved
these methods effective. A new type tooth paste has been created to apply them daily. The name lu Pepsodent.
Careful people of some 50 na tions use this tooth paste dally now, and largely by dental advice.
Unique effects
Quick and Apparent Pepaedent brings other new ef« fects. It multiplice the alkalinity of the saliva, which is there to neutralize mouth acids. It multi- plies the ptyalin in saliva, which is there to digest starch deposits on teeth. Thus these great tooth enemies are effectively combated.
Protect the enamel Pepsodent disintegrates the lm, then removes it with an agent for softer than enamel, Never use a film combatant which contains harsh grit,
