Berlin; April it. The paper
shortage In Germany, due to the
scarcity of ooal and cellulose, makes
the outlook bad for the newspapers.
There U HtUe probability that any
of .them will have to cease publica
tion entirely, but It is certain that
all will have to curtail the (site of
their daily editions. Recent gov
ernment measures providing for a
more even distribution of the quar
terly ration are not considered! strict
enough and the ration Itself will soon
have to be, decreased.
,"Our shortage Is due tu the same two
, eauses which hinder all Germsn Indus-

Zsltung, "that Is. the restrictions im
posed by the Versailles treaty and the
'present state of the German exchange.
i Under ! the treaty, Oermany must export
large Quantities of coal to France, Bel

best mine fields In Alsace, Lorraine and
Silesia, This renders It Impossible to
satisfy the home demands. Already

feared that larger ones will ftdlow,

possible to buy in Scandinavia the cel-

' paper manufactured from Swedish ma
terials costs more than three marks
(normally 76 cents). Formerly the price
was about 60 pfenning's (16 cents).".
"The climax came with the Kapp In
mrrectlon." added Herr Luickhardt of
.Vorwaerts. "For nearly a week we
received no puoer shipments and there-

Rome, April 13. The needa of a
world anxious for human betterment
and the prevention of wars require
the growth and consolidation of in
ternational Institutions around a
common world center city, accord
ing to Paul Otlet of Brussels, who
la now in Rome on behalf of the
Union of International Associations
which he founded In 1910 and which
is composed of 60 affiliated associa
tions. M. Otlet is a living answer to all those
whom the war burdened with skepticism
of lassitude. His son enlisted on the
day of Belgium's invasion and was
never seen again, yet the father con
tinues imperturbably at the work of
international organisation in which he
has passed his life.

M. Otlet is the organiser of the Inter

for the construction in Brussels of a
large building, which will contain the
museum, library of bibliography and
the university. M. Otlet explained to
day the object of his visit to Italy.
"We are planning," he said, "the
greatest international conference ever
held. It is to take place in Brussels in
September this year. I desire to secure
the adhesion of such institutions as the
Internatlon Institute of Agriculture and
of individuals such as Senator Volterra

J 11 ttatements approved by high dental authorities
Children's teeth are most important.
Their whole lives will be affected by
baj teeth. And rarely a child, under old
methods, has escaped tooth troubles.
plistening teeth appeal to adults, but
with children the great question is
proper tooth protection. Judge what
this method means to children by what
, it does for you.
j The enemy is film
'!
Dental science has discovered that
thej teeth's great enemy is a viscous
film. You can feel it with your tongue.
jfilm clings to teeth, enters crevices
and stays. Then it discolors some
times tartar forms. ; And that film
. causes most tooth troubles. 1
t is that film-coat which discolors
no the teeth. Film is the basis of
tartar. It holds food substance which
ferments and forms acid. It holds the
' icid in contact with the teeth to cause
deiay. j
.-. Millions of germs breed in it They,
with tartar, are the' chief cause of pyor
rhea. Also manjr other troubles are
ooyr traced to them. ;
Brush is inadequate
The ordinary tooth paste does not
dissolve film. A soapy tooth paste
even makes it more viscous J So the
tooth brush has failed to end film. Mil
lions know that well-brushed teeth dis
color, and decay.
Tooth troubles have been constantly
increasing. So dental science has for
years sought a way to combat film.
Now that way is found. Able author
ities have proved its efficiency by care
ful clinical tests. Dentists have watched
its results for years. And now leading
dentists all over America are
urging its daily use. 4
A new-day tooth paste has
been developed, called Pepso
dent It meets every modern
requirement And this new film
combatant is now embodied
in it
Applies a digestant
Pepsodent is based on pep
sin, the digestant of albumin.
The film is albuminous matter.
The object of Pepsodent is to'
dissolve it, then to day by day
combat it I
' s
This method long seemed impossible.
Pepsin must be activated, and the usual
agent is an acid harmful to the teeth.
'But a harmless activating method has
been found, and now active pepsin can
be twice-a-day applied.
Two ; other new requirements are
met in Pepsodent, but its chief impor
tance lies in action on this film.
Watch.teeth whiten
The results of Pepsodent are evident
and quilk. Your mirror will soon show
them. Then you will realize that those
whiter teeth mean cleaner, safer teeth.
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
coat disappears. It will be a revelation.
Compare your teeth now with your
teeth in ten days. Then judge the
methddf which is best for you and
yours.
-Millions now talk Pepsodent
Millions of people are now using: Pepsodent You see
them everywhere, and yon can know them by their
glistening teeth. .These users, plus thousands of den
tists, are fast bringing this new method into general use.
