More Smiles Now 
For women have prettier teeth 
A new way of teeth cleaning 
has multiplied smiles. Millions of 
women now use it. It has changed 
dingy teeth to whiter teeth. 
Wherever you look now you see 
pretty teeth which other people 
envy. 
This new method is at your 
command. A free test will be 
sent for the asking. For the sake 
of whiter, safer teeth we urge 
you to accept it. 
Combats the film 
This new way combats film— 
that viscous coat you feel. The 
old ways of brushing never did 
that effectively. 
Film clings to teeth, gets be¬ 
tween the teeth and stays. It 
absorbs stains and, if you leave it, 
forms the basis of cloudy coats, 
including tartar. That’s why 
most teeth look dingy. 
Film also holds the acid in con¬ 
tact with the teeth to cause de¬ 
cay. Germs breed by millions in 
it. They, with tartar, are the 
chief cause of pyorrhea. 
Most tooth troubles, which few 
escape, are now traced to that 
film. 
Two methods found 
Dental science, after long re¬ 
search has found two ways to 
fight that film. Years of tests 
have amply proved their efficien¬ 
cy. Now leading dentists every¬ 
where are advising their daily use. 
10-Day Tube Free 9 
THE PEPSODENT COMPANY 
Dept. 293, 1104 S.Wabash Ave..Chicago, Ill. 
Mail 10-Day Tube of Pepsodent to 
Only one tube to a family. 
A new-type tooth paste has 
been created, modern, scientific 
and correct. The name is 
Pepsodent. These two film com¬ 
batants are now embodied in it. 
It is bringing to countless homes 
a new dental era. 
Two other enemies 
Teeth have two other great 
enemies. One is starch, which 
gums the teeth, and which may 
ferment and form acid. The other 
is mouth acids. 
Pepsodent multiplies the starch 
digestant in the saliva, to better 
combat those starch deposits. It 
multiplies the alkalinity of the 
saliva, to better neutralize mouth 
acids. Thus it gives manifold 
power to Nature’s great tooth 
protecting agents. That’s an¬ 
other result of modern dental 
research. 
45 nations use it 
Pepsodent now has world-wide 
use, largely through dental advice. 
Careful people of some forty-five 
countries see its benefits today. 
Send the coupon for a 10-Day 
Tube. Note how clean the teeth 
feel after using. Mark the absence 
of the viscous film. See how teeth 
whiten as the film-coats disappear. 
One week will convince you that 
you and yours should always use 
this method. Cut out the coupon 
now. 
The New-Day Dentifrice 
Endorsed by modern author¬ 
ities and advised by leading 
dentists nearly all the world 
over now. All druggists supply 
the large tube. 
If You Are Going to Build 
( Continued, from page 124) 
In some of our loveliest country 
houses we revert to the old Dutch door, 
so popular in New Amsterdam. This is 
a very practical type of door, as it lets 
in light and sunlight, gives lovely vistas 
of gardens and hilltops, keeps babies in¬ 
doors and pet animals out. The one 
shown in our illustration was designed 
by Clarence Fowler for Peter B. Wyckoff, 
at Bernardsville, N. J. 
Beginning in California we find, espe¬ 
cially in the concrete houses, the arched 
doorway gaining an ever-increasing pop¬ 
ularity. The doing away with the multi¬ 
plicity of doors, which at one time over¬ 
whelmed our domestic architecture, is a 
very genuine gain. It is an economy, 
it adds beauty and dignity to the in¬ 
terior of a house and it enables an archi¬ 
tect to plan pleasant vistas in even small 
homes. Of course the arched doorway 
cannot take the place of that inestima¬ 
ble detail, the door. There are rooms 
and halls and spaces that must be shut 
away from contact with other parts of 
the house, but there was a tendency, 
especially in our pioneer days, to close 
every room in, to make our halls little 
dark entrances and not so much to think 
of a house as one connected pleasing 
whole, but rather a series of little rooms 
completely isolated. The wise architect 
will strike a happy medium, he will 
have plenty of doors where they are es¬ 
sential and archways where they add 
artistic delight. 
In fact the building of a small house 
today is no mere merry pastime for the 
architect; for usually we want our 
houses without delay and want them 
comfortable and permanent and satisfac¬ 
tory for generations to come; we want 
also, as a rule, for a minimum charge, 
as much luxury and beauty as we have 
seen in palaces, cathedrals and we might 
add ocean steamers. 
It may be a joy to feel that every de¬ 
tail of your house has been designed 
especially for you; that your fireplace, 
although modeled from the Rumford 
idea, is nevertheless elaborated into your 
own dream of a perfect fireplace, that 
your doors have been planned so that 
every time you come in and go out, you 
feel that there are no other such welcom¬ 
ing doors in the world, that your sleep¬ 
ing porch is the most unique, your 
porches the most personal in all the 
world; still, nowadays when people do 
not wish to delay in becoming the happy 
owners of their own homes, and when 
we all want the utmost comfort and con¬ 
venience for the least money, we are 
turning more and more for help to the 
manufacturers of architectural detail. 
And before we begin to build we send 
to the makers of beautiful windows, and 
there are a variety of them, and to the 
makers of doors, inner doors and ex¬ 
terior doors, and to the makers of floors 
and window trim to get their catalogues, 
illustrated. And nine times out of ten, 
well-designed, well-made stock details 
go into our homes. So wide is the de¬ 
mand for this help for the homemaker 
that special woodwork today is being 
manufactured appropriate for almost all 
period architecture and furniture. 
When You Plan Your Garden 
(Continued from page 110) 
Also, the nearer the garden is put to 
the center of the plot the more secluded 
it can be made; and when one has grown 
to love a garden for itself and for the 
peace and quiet it can give this seclusion 
will be appreciated. Here its seclusion is 
complete, as it is protected on all sides, 
either by the house or by further garden¬ 
like spaces. 
To make the enclosure at the end of 
the plot all the more effective, the fruit 
garden has been placed there. Between 
it and the flower garden, and conven¬ 
iently joined to the latter, a space was 
left for the little cutting garden. On 
the service side of the house the com¬ 
paratively long, narrow strip seemed a 
suitable situation for the vegetable gar¬ 
den. Running out from the living room 
porch on the opposite side, a similar 
strip became very readily the bowling 
green. Behind the garage wing and im¬ 
mediately accessible to the laundry was 
obviously the place for the drying yard. 
Thus the place was shaped up, and 
thus any place may be shaped up by 
observing the principles of this method 
of design. The particular elements that 
went into its makeup may not be needed 
or desired on some other small place, 
but that fact should not affect the means 
of arranging in an orderly fashion what¬ 
ever is wanted on your own grounds, 
so that each space, whether it be for 
work or play or quiet pleasure, may be 
used to the best advantage and may be 
in a position to co-operate with every 
other space in making the whole scheme 
convenient and attractive. 
Editors Note —This is the first of a 
series of articles on the simple principles 
of landscaping. In November Mr. Pratt 
will discuss the various types of gardens 
for various situations. 
The Modern Greenhouse 
(Continued from page 67) 
in the little tiny flower shop at the 
corner,—and Jenkins is a wonderful 
gardener and he surely knows how to 
grow everything we need! This is the 
average family attitude before the green¬ 
house is installed. At that point the 
family should consider just, what a 
greenhouse can and cannot do. 
The hardest factor to overcome is to 
make folks understand that in cultivat¬ 
ing flowers and fruits under unnatural 
conditions you are up against the laws 
of Nature. Roses and sweet peas grow 
side by side in your garden but they will 
not in your greenhouse. If you run the 
night temperature at 50° the roses will 
sulk and go on a strike, but the sweet 
peas will smile their handsomest. If 
you jump the temperature up to 60°, 
the roses will smile, but the sweet peas 
will balk and stop flowering. There¬ 
fore, we must consider several compart¬ 
ments to our greenhouse if we are to 
have all the good things we want. Then 
Jenkins can produce! He needs a cool 
house for his violets, sweet peas, primula, 
calendula, etc.; an intermediate house 
for his carnations, snapdragons, bulbous 
stock, daises, stock, etc.; and a warm 
house for his roses, lilies, gardenias, or¬ 
chids, etc.
