this secret about removing film
Brushing with ordinary dentifrices can never give you the gleaming white teeth you envy. Only brushing with an effective film-removing dentifrice can do that. For film is the sticky, gummy coating that forms on teeth, obscures their natural beauty. Even worse, it glues to teeth the germs 'and acids associated with tooth decay. You must remove that film.
That's why we urge you to use Pepsodent, the *pecial film-removing tooth paste. For Pepio- dent contains a cleansing and polishing sub- stance that is unexcelled in removing film from

"BIG BILL" REPENTS "King Edward A Fine Young Man"
Toronto, June 23.
"BIG BILL" THOMPSON, former mayor of Chicago, who is on hollday in Toronto, has often criticised the British Royal Family. To-day he wished King Edward a happy birthday. "That's a line young man you've got there," he said. "He is a real Democrat and leaves n kindly impress wherever he goes. My pro- vious denunciations of England were based on false reports."--

More spots were formed and fewer disappeared on the invisible; side. For some reason the earth

EARTH AND VENUS
Earth and Venus move in diferent orbits. Sometimes they are on the same side of the, sun, sometimes on opposite sides and sometimes half- way betweCTI. Dr. Sanford checked

Venus was on the opposite side of the sun than when she was on the same side as the earth. Then the two planet were at 90 degree angles from each other, a condition which obtained 20 times during the 15 years, the sun- spottedness was about half-way be- tween the two extremes.
"I would appear from these re- sults." Dr. Sanford concludes, "that the influence of Venus on visible sun-spottedness is much greater when the planet is on the opposite side of the sun from the earth than when it is on the same side. The apparent effect of Venita on sun- spots is to repel them to the farthest side of the sun. The phenomena observed by Mrs. Maunder Indicate that the earth also repels sun-spots to the farther side of the sun."
SUN-SPOTS
Dr. Sanford points out, there can be little doubt that sun-spots are highly electrified. They are great masses of rotating gases, each mass thousands of miles in radius, in the: aimosphere of the solar disc. It these inner planets are similarly electrified it would explain the re pulsion.
Dr. Sanford previously concluded that the sun, earth and moon ull are negatively electrified. He con- siders it a fair assumption that the other planets are similarly negative- ly charged. The proximity of such a negatively charged body would tend to kick the negatively charged rotating mass of gas to the opposite side of the sun, the strength of the And Kick
