Irish so cieties and sympathizers in this city nnd vicinity arc preparing to tender him reception corresponding with the position ho holds in the "republic." Francis Rolston Welsh, of Devon, protested to Mayor Smith before the invitation was dispatched because, he 1 said, tho Irish "president" allied his jnUuence with Germany and against Great Britain, ally of the United States, ' jduring the war.

I hove tho honor to invite you to visit Philadel phia. "The kinship of Ireland nnd Phila delphia is so close and intimate and so many o the citizens, of whom I am .official bead, trace their ancestry to your land, thRt I am sure your wel iroriie hero will be most enthusiastic and cordial. "May I remind you that William 'Pcnn, .tuo great founder ot our com-1 monwcalth, spent some of the forma- five yenrs of his life in Ireland and . ,that TJiomos Holmes, bis advance agent and first surveyor, by whom our I .city was planned and laid out, was a -native of Ireland? . i "Among our chief distinctions is that in Philadelphia were adopted and promulgated the Declaration of Inde pendence and the constitution of tho 'United States. "May I recall that as to the first of these, although drafted by a com .mltteo of which the great Thomas Jef ferson was chairman, the instrument Itsblf, as preserved in Washington, is In the Handwriting ot a native oi jrc Jand, Charles Thomson; and it was first read to the people of Philadelphia by tho son of an Irishman, John Nii on, and first printed and distributed to 'the citizens of the thirteen colonies by another native Irishman, James Duu- 1P. "Among the illustrious signers of the . constitution of the United States and particularly the representatives of .Philadelphia, was 1 homas Fitzsim- mous, a native of Ireland. He lias the distinction of first proposing OTid .hecuring the enacting into law, as a .member of the first Congress of tho United States, that principle of leg islation to which America owes so .much of Its greatness, the imposition ,of tariffs, not for revenue only, but jffor tho protection and upbuilding of American industries.

You can see that the Him is gone. Learn the Cause of Decay Dental science has now traced most tooth troubles to a film. To that slimy film which you can feel. That is what discolors not the teeth. It 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, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. The film is clinging. It enters crevices and stays. No ordinary tooth paste can dissolve it. A soapy tooth paste makes it more viscous. So, despite your brushing, much film stays. Night and day it does its damage. It is the great tooth wrecker. Science now has found a way to combat that film. The fact has been proved by many clinical tests. The method is now advocated by leading dentists everywhere. For daily use it is embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And we are mailing 10-Day Tubes so that every home may try it. Do This and See We urge you for your own sake to write for this 10-Day Tube. See the results for yourself. Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin. The film is albuminous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to con stantly combat it. Pepsin must be activated, and science has discovered a harmless activating method. The usual method is an acid, harmful to the teeth, so pepsin long seemed impossible. Now everyone may apply it, morning, noon and night. And the evidence is that this inven tion brings a new dental era. Send tbe coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the slimy film. See how teeth whiten as the fixedi film disappears. Compare results with the methods you use now. Then judge for yourself what is best. Cut out the coupon now.
