not be such a long while before Chnrles
Chaplin comes forth in his promised
Shakespearean repertoite. A lot of
genuine fun marks this piny, which
provides a new character role for the
cowbot actor.
At the opening of the play the regu
lation western -saloon dunce is in prog
ress und a letter informs the chief
dancer that he has inherited a modiste
shop in New Orleans. When the hero
goes to see his place of business he is
elevator shy and poses as u detective
because he does not want am oue to
know flint he is a "John Petticoats"
or a he drc'maker. as thej are known
out in his country. A girl in the home
where he l".ircN supplies the hue in
terest and there is u bit of drama in
the villain's forsaking the girl in the
department store.
Mr Hart looks well in evening clothes
and he acts with a new feeling that
stems to have been missing in his for
mer attempts to be all dressed up. It
Is also unusual for C. Gardner Sulli
van to turn out this type of storv. al
though his effort is a good one. Wini

the important feminine roles, while

It is the plain, public duty of every
citizen to criticize proposed government
measures believed to be harmful.
Swift & Company is in a better position
perhaps, than others, to understand the
meat packing business in all its relations
to public and "private interests, even
though the others may have been
giving the subject a great deal of sincere
attention.
Swift & Company is convinced that interference
with its legitimate business function by governmental
agencies, however well intentioned, would be an injury
to every man, woman and child who wants meat to
eat, as well as to the men who raise the meat and
to those who dress and distribute it.
Maximum service that cannot monopolize because
of keen competition and lack of control over sources
of supply is furnished at a minimum of profit a frac
tion of a cent per pound from all sources.
Therefore Swift & Company is taking every legit
imate step of citizenship to prevent such interference.
These advertisements are intended to help you,
and to help Congress decide what is best to be done.
Mistakes are costly and apt to be harmful in these
trying times.

Millions of Germs
Breed in Tooth Film Keep It Off
All Statements Approved hy High Denial Authorjltca
Film Wrecks the Teeth
THAT Blimy film which you feel with your tongue causes most tooth troubles. ThS
tooth brush does not end it. The ordinary tooth paste does not dissolve it. In
crevices and elsewhere that film clings. .That is why your, brushing falls to keep
teeth white, free from tartar, clean and safe.
That film Is what discolors not the teeth". It Is the b'asls of farlar. I Holds food
ifeubstance 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. So
ell these troubles have been increasing despite the wide use of the tooth brush.
Dental science, after years of search, has found a film combatant. Able authorities
have amply proved this by careful clinical tests. Leading dentists everywhere now urge
its daily use.
The method is embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And we offer a 10-Day
Tube free now to everyone for .home tests.
See the Results', Then Decide
The results of Pepsodent are quickly apparent. Some are instant. We ask you to
see them watch them ten days then decide for yourself about them.
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin. The film is albuminous
matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to constantly combat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. It must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid
harmful to the teeth. But science has discovered a harmless, activating method. The
inventor has been granted patents by five governments already. It is that invention
which makes possible this efficient film combatant.
