The film on teeth Your teeth are coated with a viscous film. Feel it with your tongue. It clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. The old ways of brushing failed to end it. Most tooth troubles are now traced to that film. Inadequate cleaning methods have made those troubles, almost universal. Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look dingy. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, chief the are cause of pyorrhea. So film is the great tooth Ways to combat it Dental science, after long research, has found ways to combat film. The methods have been amply proven. Now they are combined for home use in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. Countless people now employ this tooth paste, largely through dental advice. Today one sees on every side whiter, cleaner, safer teeth, because of Pepsodent. Other new results Other factors, desired by modern authorities, are also employed in Pepsodent. As a result, every application acts as an aid to Nature. It multiplies the salivary flow-Nature's great tooth-protecting agent. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That is there to digest starch deposits which may otherwise cling and form acid. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is Nature's neutralizer of acids which cause decay. Thus each use of Pepsodent fights film and starch and acid-the teeth's greatest enemies. To millions of users it has brought a new era in tooth protection. HERMAN ROGERS made his first speech in Novem ber, 1919; it was before the Sphinx Club, of New York. His next appear ance occurred soon afterward before the New York Chamber of Com merce; he took this distinguished audience by storm, telling them things about capital and labor that gave some of them a new point of view.

Thousands have given up teaching to engage in business, but Mr. Bishop has given up business in order to become a teacher. He writes from Ithaca, New York.

System, PUBLISHER'S NOTES T seems that the citizens of Arkansas IT have been so busily engaged of late defending themselves and their roadbuilding programme against the critical attacks of outsiders that they have had but little time to concern themselves with anything so trivial as the fourth of The Outlook's prize contests, which closed October 21. The final count of contestants has not yet been made, but it appears that Arkansas stands close to the foot of the list. We hope that she will do better in the fifth of our contests, which will be announced shortly. The State of New York, despite feverish interest in the recent World's Series, easily held first place throughout the contest in respect to numbers of contestants. The State of Illinois, despite the heavy usurpation of public interest by Len Small and the alleged bootlegging police force of Chicago, managed to hold second place, a tie with California, in the rush to tell The Outlook about its various turning points. Massachu setts, as usual, was next among the leaders. Pennsylvania has yielded her place this time to New Jersey, while Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, and other Southern States, have made strong show ings. R EADERS are again urged to submit suggestions for the fifth and last prize contest for the current year, which is to be announced soon.

The Company replied that his first payment need be only $20.30, with a like amount monthly thereafter. In fact, he found it so stated in his policy. The time above all other times when the service rendered by the POSTAL is vital to the insuring public is When Money is Scarce In those sections of the country where there has been a business slump the POSTAL LIFE meets the emergency with its monthly premium, its guaranteed dividend, and its automatic non-forfeiture policy provisions.
