Gloriously Clear Teeth

Why you may already have them--and yet not realize it

Make this unique test. Find out what beauty is beneath the dingy film that clouds your teeth

Do you seriously want daz-

zlingly clear teeth? - teeth that add immeasurably to your personality and attractiveness?

You can have them, if you wish. That's been proved times without number. But not by continuing with old methods of cleansing and of brushing.

How to gain them-quickly There's a film on your teeth. Run your tongue acress your teeth and you can feel it. Beneath it are the protty toeth

you envy in others, Ordinary methods won't success- fully remove it.

That is why this test is offered. For when you remove that film, you'll be surprised at what you find. You may actually have beau- tiful teeth already-and yet not realize it. Find out!

What that film is Most tooth troubles now are traced to film. It clings to teeth, gets into crevices and stays, Germs by the millions breed in it. And they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea and decay.

That film, too, absorbs stains... stains from food, from smoking,

from various causes. And that is why your teeth look "off color." New methods now remove it Old-time dentifrices could not suc- cessfully fight that film. So most people had dingy teeth. And tooth troubles increased alarmingly.

Now new methods have been found. And embodied in a new type tooth paste called Pepsodent.

It acts to curdle the film, then haimlessly remove it. No soap, no chalk; no harsh grit dangerous to chargel.

It proves the folly of ugly teeth. It gives better protection against pyorrhea, of tooth troubles both in adults and in children.

Ten days' use will prove its hen- efits. And that 10 days is offered to you na a test. Why not make it then-havo prettier teeth, whiter teeth? Send the coupon now,

Protect the Enamel - Pepsodent disintegrates the film, then removes it with an agent far softer than enamel. Never use a film combatant which contains harsh grit.

BUDDHA FILM.

REMARKABLE INDIAN PRODUCTION.

How a dying man was procured by

Indian film director's assistant to register" coma at the right moment; how parents. dushed in with protests at the acting of their grown-up offspring just as the camera was ready: and how men collapsed at the taking of the pictures in noon- day Indian heat, are a few of the interesting details connected with "The Light of Asia” filmi released in Berlin recently. This is the life-story of Gautama Buddha, performed by an entirely Indian cast on the historic scenes themselves. It is due to the co- operation of the Great Eastern Corporation, Ltd., of Delhi, and the Emelka firm, of Munich.

The Germans shipped their best "director," Franz Osten, with four photographers and [assistants, and everything necessary in the way of technical appliances to takes and dovolop) pictures: tho Indians did the rest. The result is less a flo
