Ask Any Beauty 
How she beautifies her teeth 
If all women knew what millions 
know, they would all brush teeth in 
this new way. 
Ask anyone with glistening teeth. 
You see them everywhere today. You 
will probably learn that the reason lies 
in this new-day method. 
Then you can see the results on your 
own teeth if you make this delightful 
test. 
Clouded by film 
The natural tooth luster is clouded 
by film. At first the film is viscous. You 
can feel it now. It clings to teeth, 
gets between the teeth and stays. 
Food stains, etc., 
discolor it. If not re¬ 
moved, it forms dingy 
coats. Tartar is based 
on film. And few 
things do more to mar 
beauty. 
Film also holds food 
substance which fer¬ 
ments and forms acid. 
It holds the acid in 
contact with the teeth to cause decay. 
Germs breed by millions in it. They, 
with tartar, are the chief cause of 
pyorrhea. Thus most tooth troubles 
are now traced to film. 
Very few escaped 
Tooth troubles were constantly in¬ 
creasing. Beautiful teeth were seen less 
often than now. So dental science saw 
the need for better cleansing methods. 
Research found two ways to fight 
film. One acts to curdle film, one to 
remove it, and without any harmful 
scouring. 
Able authorities proved these meth¬ 
ods effective. Then a new-type tooth 
paste was created, based on new dis¬ 
coveries. These two great film com¬ 
batants were embodied in it. 
The name of that tooth paste is Pep- 
sodent. Careful people of some fifty 
nations now use it, largely by dental 
advice. 
Corrects mistakes 
Pepsodent also corrects mistakes 
made in tooth pastes of the past. It 
multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. 
That is there to neutralize mouth acids, 
the cause of tooth decay. 
It multiplies the 
starch digestant in 
the saliva. That is 
there to digest starch 
deposits which may 
otherwise ferment and 
form acids. 
Former tooth pastes 
brought just opposite 
effects. They de¬ 
pressed these natural 
tooth-protecting agents. 
Your home needs 
Everyone in your home should adopt 
this method. They will when they see 
the results. 
Send the coupon for a lo-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. 
The results in one week will delight 
and convince you. Cut out the coupon 
now. 
Protect the Enamel 
Pepsodent disintegrates the 
film, then removes it with an 
agent far softer than enamel. 
Never use a film combatant 
which contains harsh grit.

NOTES OF THE 
T he Garden Club of St. Joseph, 
Missouri, whose president is Mrs. 
John C. Storey, was organized in 
March, 1922, and now includes 280 men 
and women in its membership, of which 
the dues are $i.co. Monthly meetings, 
excepting in December, are held in the 
Chamber of Commerce, at 10 a. m., and 
at suitable seasons the club assembles in 
the town or country gardens of its mem¬ 
bers, at twilight. The subjects of the pro¬ 
grams, mostly horticultural, are usually 
prepared by^ the members, though occa¬ 
sionally there is an outside speaker, Mrs. 
Massey Holmes, president of the Kansas 
City Flower Society, having addressed the 
meeting at the country place of Mr. and 
Mrs. John Dolman. On this occasion, 
also, a distinguished whistler gave the 
songs and calls of birds which answered 
him from the surrounding trees and 
shrubs. 
At another Twilight Meeting of the 
club, held in the town garden of Dr. and 
Mrs. Perry Fulkerson, after talks on 
peonies, iris, and aquatics, the members 
were seated in the moonlight to see slides 
of noted gardens, in Washington, D. C., 
different parts of Missouri and other 
places, thrown on a screen hung on the 
porch of the residence of the hostess who 
was surprised by one slide showing her 
own garden with 4000 tulips in bloom! 
Mrs. Fulkerson laid out her garden 
with the assistance of another member, 
Mrs. R. N. Bacheller, and though the city 
lot is only 140' x 160' it is so skilfully 
planted and planned that it has served as 
a setting for a number of plays. At one 
end is a cement pool in which swim 
goldfish among golden yellow lilies, and 
this was so economically constructed that 
it inspired many members to reproduce the 
pool in other city gardens. Iris Kaemp- 
feri surround the water, while 80 other 
varieties of iris appear elsewhere in the 
garden. The spirit of the planting is ex¬ 
pressed in all shades of blue delphiniums, 
white phlox, pink snapdragons. Madonna 
lilies, hollyhocks, clove-pinks, and so 
forth. 
The July, 1923, Twilight jMeeting was 
arranged on the estate of Mr. Henry 
Krug, Jr., whose father gave the city the 
park named for him, and who laid out the 
garden, one of the oldest in St. Joseph, 
over fifty years ago. The hour before the 
formal part of the meeting was devoted 
to strolling through the garden, which 
rises by a series of terraces, to an observa¬ 
tory on top of a hill commanding views of 
the Missouri River for miles on one side, 
and off over rolling country on the other. 
Chairs were placed for the club on one of 
the terraces where talks were given by 
Mrs. John Henderson on peonies, and by 
Mrs. A. H. Holbrink, on asters, which she 
raises successfully until Thanksgiving. 
Also Mr. Charles D. Morris eulogized the 
universal inspiration and benefits the City 
of St. Joseph is deriving from the Garden

GARDEN CLUBS 
Club, and Mrs. Perry Fulkerson spoke on 
“This Hospitable Garden”, commenting 
on its important features. 
A mutual privilege of visiting each 
other’s gardens is extended to aU club 
members, one of whom, Mr. Huston 
Wyeth has developed his estate with a 
perfect Japanese garden, and an open- 
air Greek theater, a curved stone pergola 
facing a lovely fountain, and with lakes. 
Besides discussions following the papers 
there are exhibits of flowers, carefully 
labeled, to show which blooms are in per¬ 
fection. Flower shows, in charge of the 
twelve directors of the club, are held 
spring and fall, being attended by hun¬ 
dreds of persons. Ribbons are awarded 
in all classes, and at the 1922 Spring Show 
a silver trophy, presented by Mrs. W. F. 
Kirkpatrick, for the best specimen of Iris, 
was won by Mr. W. W. Wheeler, Jr. 
The Garden Club has given one 
“Peony Day”, when members carried 
two thousand peonies to the hospitals 
and other institutions, a “Chrysanthe¬ 
mum Tea” when refreshments were 
served. One Competition for “Garden 
Plans”, the problem being submitted by 
the Park Commissioner, has been held by 
the club, which awarded cash prizes, and 
it has also planted six fine elms on the 
Victory Highway. 
The member most widely known for 
hybridizing is Judge Lawrence Vorhies 
whose collection of peonies is of great 
value and visited by specialists from many 
states. Judge Vorhies named his finest 
pink creation, “Lady Kate” for one of his 
club associates. Airs. R. N. Bacheller, a 
potent member in various directions, is a 
successful hybridizer of iris. 
HE Garden Club of Fairfield, Conn., 
wasfoundedin 1915,and thepresident 
is Mrs. De Ver H. Warner. Mrs. J. O. 
Wright is honorary president. There are 
125 active and associate members living 
in Fairfield, Bridgeport, Southport and 
Westport, who nearly all do personal 
work in their gardens. The club dues are 
$4.00 and Si. 00. Meetings are held in the 
homes of members everj^ month excepting 
January, February', July and August. 
One summer the club met every week, 
for talks, in the Rose Garden of Miss 
A. B. Jennings. The program for 1922- 
1923 has included papers by members on 
horticultural subjects, with a Round 
Table Discussion, and other topics pre¬ 
sented by representatives of the club were 
“Flowers in Florida” and “Garden 
Glimpses in France, during the War”. 
Professional speakers who appeared on the 
program were, at the outdoor meeting, in 
October, hlr. Fillej' of the New Haven 
Experimental Station, who talked on 
“Trees” at the home of Mrs. George P. 
Brett, and on other occasions Mr. Flenry 
Wild of Stamford whose message was 
about “Bulbs” and Mr. J. Otto Thielow
