BLONDES ON JURY? , "SURE," SAYS JUDGE Mr. Patterson Dohlos Fair Haired Women Are Too Ficklo for Court Duty IttnmlpN nrr lint tnhnn In Philadelphia courts', especially In the court of Judge Patterson, who holds forth In Common Picas.

"Is not borne out by an accurate Investiga tion of results. "I have had juries on which blondes and brunettes botli served, and I learned that tho former were just ns serious and desirous of getting the facts ns their dork-hnired sisters.

Then let your mir ror tell you what this film re moval means. To millions of people this ten day test has been a revelation. Make it for your own sake now. How Teeth Show! White or dingy how conspicuous they are Remove the cloudy film thorities oppose them. So Pepsodent omits these ingredients. You can see and feel what Pepsodent is doing. A book we send explains every effect. Watch these results, learn the reason for them. Then judge for yourself between the new way and the old. There is a way to keep teeth whiter, cleaner, safer. Millions now employ it. The glistening teeth you see every where now largely result from this method. This is to explain that method. To tell you why authorities advise it. Then to offer you a ten-day test and urge that you accept it. The film discolors Your teeth are coated with a viscous film. You can feel it with your tongue. It is ever-present, ever-forming. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordinary tooth paste does not end that film. The tooth brush, used in old ways, leaves much of it intact. So very few have escaped the damage which that film creates. That film-coat absorbs stains, mak ing the teeth look dingy. Countless facial attractions are marred in that way. Combat that film for a little while and see how your teeth improve. How teeth are ruined That film is now known as the cause of most tooth troubles. 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 pyor rhea. Also of many other troubles, local and internal. Despite the tooth brush, these troub les have been constantly increasing. Some have become alarming in extent. So dental science has for years been seeking ways to combat that film. Two effective methods Two effective methods have been found. Many careful tests have proved them. They have been combined in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. Millions of people who have tried it now employ it daily. Leading dentists everywhere advise its use. In almost every circle, glistening teeth show its visible results. Every home is welcome to a ten-day test. Make it and watch the effects. Other desired results Pepsodent brings other effects which authorities desire. It multiplies the salivary flow. That is Nature's great tooth-protecting agent. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That is Nature's agent for digesting starch deposits which may otherwise form acids. It multiplies the alkalinity of the sa liva. That is Nature's factor for neu tralizing acids which cause tooth decay. These results come from every ap plication. They last for some time. And they give Nature much-needed aid in combating the possible effect of modern starchy diet on teeth. Tooth pastes based on soap and chalk have the opposite effect. Modern au- mKBBL."9lvU Smoke discolors film With men who smoke the film U often conspicuously discolored. They are apt to see the greatest effects from the film removal. Children need Pepsodent most.
