Remove FILM this way
The fate of your teeth may reat on what you do to remove film! Don't risk ineffective meth- ode when film may lead to such serious con- sequences. And don't trust precious tooth enamel to any but a special film-removing dentifrice.
21 years ago a group of men discovered a scientific fact that film should be removed if teeth are to be kept clean and sound, it gums are to remain healthy, A special for- mula was devised. Since then it has bean constantly improved with one thought in mind: to remove film safely.
Today Pepsodent is known as the "special · film-removing tooth paste.” It is unexcelled in the way it removes the film that glues decay

AFTER
A sea battle 10 years ago, had its queer but happy sequel on the plat- form of Hornsey Town Hall recently, when the local branch of the British
Legion entertained visiting delegates
of German ex-Servicemen's organi- sations.
A German U boat captain, Baron von Speigel, met Mr. W. A. Mead, skipper of a British mystery ship "Q Boat 21" who had sunk his sub- marine after a battle in the Atlantic.
The Baron told how in 1917 he was cruising in the Atlantie a few hun- dred miles off the Irish coast. Не had fired all his torpedoes and had left behind him on the Atlantic trade routes many sunken steamers. At dusk he saw a sall on the horizon, IIC approached carefully and found that it was a schooner. He fired a shot over the rigging and her crew took to the boats, apparently in panier
He continued to fire into the hull and rigging--then the White Ensign shot up and he discovered that he had been trapped by "Q Boat 21."
-THE "PANIC PARTY"
1s submarine was sunk and he was saved from the sea by the "panic party" of the Qboat.
"Let me introduce you to Skipper Mead who saved me," said Baron von Speigel, as he turned to greet a grey-haired sailor who rose from a seat at the back of the platform.
They shook hands armid a dend silence, followed by a rear of cheer- ing from the ex-Servicemen.

Skipper Mead fold the end of the story. "Imaging my surprise, when yesterday I received ʼn letter address« simply Captain Mead, Brixham, Devon,1 he said. "It was the first I had heard from my friend, von Spelgel, in 10 years, and this morn- ing I left Brixham to come here to- night
Captain Mead added that Captain von Spelgel and the other two mem- bers of the submarine crew they had taken up were responsible for "them getting back to port at all. The engineers of the boat had been disabled and the engines put out of netion. One of the survivors of the submarine was an engineer, and his work enabled them to Bmp back to port.

Worksop, Nov. 15. FOR twenty years Mr. Arthur
Darby, a bachelor, of Gape- ford Rd., Worksop, has not slept.
Now he is nearly seventy years old, but he looked the picture of health when talked to to-day,
He said: "I was a hairdresser for more than 30 years, then I had a nervous breakdown, after which I' took a job as lamplighter. The hours were irregular; I had to be up at 'all limes.
"began to go without sleep. Gradually It became a habit with me. For the last 20 years I have not bothered to go to bed. I just sit in a chair downstairs musing and thinking.
"T have
ve retired from my job but I cannot give up the habit of going without sleep. I do not feel any the worse for it. Other people are sleep- | Ing. their lives away in bed."
