How Pretty Teeth

affect the smile-teeth freed from film

See what one week will do

The open smile comes naturally when there are pretty teeth to show. But dingy teeth are kept concealed.

The difference lies in film. That is what stains and discolars. That is what hides the tooth luster.

Why teeth are dira

Your teeth are coated with a viscous film. You can feel it now. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays.

No ordinary tooth pasté can ef- fectively combat It The tooth brush, therefore, leaves much of

intact.

That film is what discolors, not the teeth It often forms the basis of a dingy ceat, Millions of teeth are clouded in that way.

The tooth attacks

Film also holds food substance which ferments and form acis. It holds the acids in contact with the teeth to cause decay.

Germs constantly breed in it. They, with tartar are the chief cause of pyorrhez. Thus most tooth trophies are now traced to film, and very few people, escape.

them.

Must be combated Dental science has long been

seeking a daily film combatant. In Jate years two effective methoda." have been found. Authorities have proved them by many careful tests. Now leading dentists nearly all the world over are urging their daily use.

A new-day tooth paste has been perfected, made. to comply with modern requirements. The name is Pepsodent. These two great film combatants are embodied in it.

It goes further

Other effects are now considered essential. Pepsodent is made to bring them all.

It multiplies the salivary Row. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That is there to di- gest starch deposits on teeth, so they will not remain and form acids.

It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is Nature's neutralizer. for acids which cause decay.

Thus every application gives these tooth-protecting forces mul tiplied effect. But

These things mean, whiter cleaner, safer teeth They mean natural mouth condition better tooth protection,

The following are among the conclu signs at which the committee have arrive

That the question of status is a very crucial one, which can only be influenced indirectly, i

That the payment of employme benefit to women has very little to do with the shortage of domestic workers.

That the conditions of domestic service make it difficult for girls to take part in the recreations or interests open to other workers, and that their teeds in these iretion require to be specially studied and entwerfor.

That the extension of day work difficult heenuse of the cbjection of private employers to any change in their necus tomed procedure but that, with careful Grganization, day workers could take a mich larger share of the domestic work of the country than is at present considered feasible

SCHEME OF TRAINING.""

In regard to training the Committee recommend:

(a) Instruction in domestic science in elementary schools for every girl be tween the ages of 12 and 14

SUFFERING CAUSED BY LONELINESS.

On the psychological aspects of domestic service, the Committes stato thatchief place among these may perhaps be given to the loneliness of girls in one or two maid households. We have received over- whelming evidence from employers, social workers, officials, and ploys alike, of the genuine suffering caused by this pathetic factor, the prevalence of which we think has hardly been realist by m ployers, and we have little doubt that efforts will be made to combat it once its existence is mule known. The Coumittee is matter elearly recognise that this

PENSIONS AT 53 DA

With regard to unemployment beneßt, the committee recommend that the artificial distinction between various types of domestic workers should be obliterated As far as possible by bringing all fr whe domestle workers, wherever employed; uns der a scheme of insurance in addition to National Health Tasarance; but that in the case of women and girls in private domestic employment there should be, av alternative to unetaplastaent benefit, scheme whereby a pension of 15s. a work!! should be obtainable at the age of 57, and should continue util the Old Age Pension becomes payable, when it should be reduced by the amount of that pension, Contri butors to the pension scheme should have the option of a cash payment on marriage In lieu of pension. Benefits under this scheme should come into operation as suga as possible, and in any case not later than three years hence,"

The Committee recommend that female domestic workers who have attained' tho! statutory age should be entitled to the Par-1 liamentary vote on the same residence qualification as men,

Finally, the Conunitteespecially draw attentica to the desirability of unofficial organisations such as the Young Women's Christian Association, the National Organ. isation of Girl's Clubs, &c, and private in. dividuals furthering by all means in their power the provision of better social, re- creational, and educational advantages for domestic workers and the apholding of the dignity of domestic service as a skilled and honourable profession.
