If the negotiations were to result in agreement on the lines I have indicated, they would mean the lifting of the music hall industry's ban on broadcasting. It would pen up the whole profession to the E.R.G, not only in regard to the broadcasting of individual perfor mances, but when mutually desired of complete entertainments such as those of the London Coliseum, the Alhambra, Victoria Palace, Hol- born Empire, and the great variety The houses of the provinces, B.B.C., in fact, would be given the opportunity to broadcast as much

For that reason, largely on dental ad- vice, many are turning to a new way in tooth and gum care a way different i formula, action and effect from any pre- viously known-a way embodied in the special film-removing dentifrice called Pepsodent.

Now an effective film combatant For years dental science sought ways to fight film. Clear teeth and healthy gums come only when film is constantly com- bated-removed every day from the teeth,

Film was found to cling to teeth; to get into crevices and stay; to hold in contact with teeta food substances which fer-. mented and fostered the acids of decay. Film was found to be the basis of tartar.- Germs by the millions breed in it. And

they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea and most gum disorders.

Thus there was a universal call for an effective film-removing method. Ordinary brushing was found ineffective. Now two effective combatants have been found, ap- proved by high dental authority and cm- bodied in a tooth paste called Pepsodent.
