"Naturally, much depends on the

from lOi'-i to 1010. "Hut I don't be
lievo Mr. Moore would feel burdened
with u Nilary of- $18,000. I'eoplc must
remember thnt liigh costs affect Mayors
as well as other cltiiens, and the salary

Jlr. Blankenburg and I had a personal
Income outside the Mayor's salary, So
did Mr. lleyburn and other Mayors.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult
even in past years to live up to the
standard expected of that city official's

"Good clotbiJ(g is an essential, and
wearing apparel today is not a small
Henv of expense. Many invitations are
extended the Maypr and his family.
Some of these must be accepted for of
ficial or diplomatic reasons. The ac

tastes and inclinations of the man in

Mrs. .lohn Weaver, whoso husband

of tbo Mayor was not as much us it
should be. Mrs. Thomas B. Smith,

of tho increase.
"A thousand dollars n month may

NE who is accustomed to the exquisite
coach work of certain European
makers can appreciate some of the
unique things which Packard enclosed cars
present today.
The Packard Company considers that an enclosed
car should represent something more than mere
protection, against the elements. For instance, interior
finishings which bespeak good taste and infinite pains
in the making exclusive mechanical features providing
for greater comfort individualistic handling of exterior
design to express the owner's personal feeling.
Despite these unique Packard standards it has been
possible for them to produce in considerable volume
and effect great saving in expense as compared with
the European body work.
Possibly this is why Packard today stands for some
thing better than one might expect from any maker,
regardless of price.
t
Winter is so close at hand that we feel many of our
patrons will be interested in the models which have just
been received, including several custom-built bodies.
We invite your early inspection.

This is to urge a ten-day test of a tooth paste which
combats the film.
High authorities have proved it. Five years of tests
have placed it beyond question. Leading dentists every
where are urging its adoption.
Compare the results with your old methods, and let your
own teeth decide.
Film Destroys Teeth
That dimy film which you feel on your teeth causes
most tooth troubles. Every modern dentist knows that.
Dental science, for many years, has sought a way to end it
That film 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. So the major object in clean
ing teeth is to keep them free' from film.
Look in 10 Days
See how clean the teeth look
bow they glisten. Then you will
know what film removal means.
Old-time methods fail to do that. Teeth still discolor,
still decay, as millions of people know. The reason is that
brushing does not end the film.
The film is clinging. It gets between the teeth, enters
crevices and stays. Day and nighf, month after month, it
is a potential source of danger.
Now a Way to End It
Science now has found a way to end it. Five years of
tests have proved this. The way is now embodied in a
dentifrice called Pepsodent. And we urge you to see
what it does.
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.
But pepsin must be activated, and the usual method is
an acid harmful to the teeth. So pepsin long seemed
barred. But science has now found a harmless activating
method. It is made use of in Pepsodent.
Now millions of teeth are. daily cleaned as they never
were before. Try the method ten days on yours.
Send this coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Use like any
tooth paste. Note how clean your teeth feel after using.
Mark the absence of the slimy film. See how the teeth
whiten as the fixed film disappears.
Watch the results for a few days. Read in our book
how they come about. Then decide for yourself what
tooth paste you and yours should use. ,
