SCIENCE has discovered the
secret of saliva. Saliva pro
tects teeth.
The arch enemies of teeth are
the poisons of food decay. Saliva
destroys these poisons.
So all that is necessary to pre
serve sound teeth is to keep them
clean and to maintain a copious
flow of saliva.
Is there anything quite like fruit
iuices to make your mouth water
the juices of grapes, limes, lemons
or oranges?
Mermen Cream Dentifrice con
tains a mild, beneficial fruit acid
which stimulates the salivary glands
and increases the quantity and
quality of saliva.

Mennen's is a remarkable cleans

the teeth and breaks down tartar
formations without scouringor grind

A 20 content of alcohol serves
as a conditioner of the gums and
exerts an antiseptic action.
Mennen Cream Dentifrice is sci

It cleans them and helps Nature to

of the lesnnant sound of the wlophone,

some delightful lyrics In "I'liocbc

lend their aid in beguiling tlie lain

MANY HEAR JOINT RECITAL
Werrenrath and Samaroff Are Heard
at Academy of Music
Mme. Olga Samaroff. pianist, and
Ileinald Werrenrath, baritone, appeared
in a joint recital at the Academy of
Music last evening under the nuspices
of tho Philadelphia Music Club and
for the benefit of the endowment fund
of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The
Academv was well filled with an en
thusiastic audience, who heard one of
the most enjoyable recitals given in this
citv in n long time.
Mr. Werrenrath began the program
with the aria "Qui Done Commonde"
from Saint-Saens a little known opera,
"Henrv VIII." He sang it well, al
though it must be confessed that he
shows to better advantage in purely
lyric music, which teems better to fit
both his btyle of singing and his voice.
This was followed by Mme. Samaroff s
first appearance in a Chopin group, in
cluding the A-flnt ballade, the F
shurp major Nocturnoi anch the G-flat
Ktude and two selections from Liszt,
the Love Drenm in A flat and the
Fifteenth Ilhapsodv.
These five numbers between them
make about all possible demands upon
the technique and the musical under
standing of a pianist, and it is scarcely
necessary to say that Mme. Samaroff
met all the requirements. She wns ex
cellent alike in the tenderness and
delicacy of Chopin and in the vigor
mid rhythm of the Liszt. At the close
of the numbers she was heartily ap
plauded and responded with the "Re
flections in the Water" of Debussy, re
quiring still another stylo of playing
and equally well done.
Mr. Werrenrath sang two old Italian
and two modern French songs, the lat
ter being "Sninte" of Rnvcl mid
"Promenade a Mule" of Fourdrain.
These were also well received, and ho
responded with "Tho Mirror," which
iic gave with equal tonal beauty and
grace.
Mme. Samaroff played for her sec
ond group the D-major Novcllctte and

Perhaps your teeth are clouded by a
film. Most teeth are, more or less, save '
right after cleaning in a dentist's chair.
The cloudy film looks like the teeth,
and you think the teeth are clouded. But
it is the film. Remove it and see how
teeth look then.
That viscous film which you feel witli
your tongue is the cause of most tooth
troubles. It clings to teeth, enters crev
ices and stays. Tho tooth brush does not
end it. The ordinary dentifrice does not
dissolve it. So it stays much of it
and may do a ceaseless damage.
That is why so many brushed teeth
discolor and decay. You leave the film,
and that is the great tooth wrecker. De
spite the tooth brush, statistics show thgt
tooth troubles are constantly increasing.
How Teeth Are Ruined
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. Dentists
call the film "bacterial plaque." Those
germs, with tartar, are the chief cause of
pyorrhea.
Dental science has for years sought a
way to combat this film. Periodic dental
cleaning removed the film and tartar.
But what was needed was a daily film
combatant.
It has now been found. Convincing
clinical and laboratory tests have amply

with a group of five songs in Dnglish

STRONG MEAT AT LYRIC
"The Riddle: Woman" Not Exactly
Solved by Tense Theatrical Play
The laurels on the dour head of Hen
rik Ibsen lose r.one of thier vcrdnnc.v in
the competition of C. Jacob! as a writer
of Scandinavian plnys, nor for the
matter of that us a writer of plays.
This mysterious playwright to whom
Chnrlotte Wells and Dorothy Donnelly
acknowledge indebtedness in the pro
gram for "their idea for a Danish
play" has provided some pretty strong
meat in his drnmn if the bouillon cubes
of it exhibited nt the Lyric last night
liavo anv of thp marrow of the original.
Andif'tho "idea" ot a play is not
its marrow, what is?
Ibspn tried to drag the drama away
from the routine stage ; Jacobi and ids
adapters have made it as theatrical as
can well be imagined. There are some
terriblp enough things in the Ibsen
esque dramaturgy, but at any rate the
bitter dramatic berserker endeavored
to relate them to life. Tliere are similar
terrible things iu "The Riddle:
Woman," the same stuff as life, but
they aic narrated with the utmost
stagincss. Two seductions nnterior to
the opening of the drama, one contem
plated by the same arch villian, gam
bling fathers, blackmail of his unfortu
nate victims, threatened levclalious that
will stir up Copenhagen (where this
versiou of the play is set) to its social
center, and the attempts of tho two
women to thwart the dastardly but pol
ished roue such is the unpleasant sub
stance of the drama.

endorse it. And now leading dentists all
over America are urging its daily use.
For home use the method is embodied
in a dentifrice called Pepsodent a scien
tific product. And, to spread the facts, a
10-Day Tube is being sent to anyone who
asks.
Now Millions. Know
Now millions know by actual test what
Pepso.dent can do. Everywhere you see
the results in whiter, cleaner teeth.
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, tlie di
gestant of albumin. The film is albumi
nous matter. The object of Pepsodent is
to dissolve it, then to day by day com
bat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. It
must be activated, and the usual method
is an acid harmful to the teeth, But
science has discovered a harmless acti
vating method. And now this film com
batant can be every day applied.
Pepsodent needs no argument. The
results are quick and apparent. See what
it does, read the reason, then judge it for
yourself.

Note how clean the teeth feel after using.
