HE papers lately have been talking about _ a rectory through the ceilings and walls of which crude petro- leu oozes, and for a time it was thought that the good vicar had been sleeping, if not upon a gold mine, upon something quite as valuable-- a prospective oil gush, such as in America and on the Caspian have produced millions of pounds' worth of petroleum. And this is not so impossible as it may seem. One of the biggest bil fields in America was for two gen- erations occupied by the buildings and fields of ah ordinary farm, through. which ran a creek which issued from the ground ia a remote cornér of the estate. ou The farmer had always bee troubled with what he called 'the "sum," and had put a plank across the lttle rivulet to keep it back. An oil prospector, after the farmer's death, found that the scum was | petroleum, or mineral oil, and that land became as valuable as if been a rich gold field. Sone years ago a French-Canadian rancher was rambling about a distant part of his land, when he noticed a plece of rock which glistened in the sun. Out of curiosity he picked it up and took it home with him. Its weight convinced him that it was mineralized rock, and he took it to a specialist, who found it to be almost pure silver. Since then that ranch has ylelded between fifty and sixty million ounces of silver. The: discovery of gold in Putu, it had Chile, was just such another bap-, affair. A poor man bought , an old tumble-down shack, and while Strengthening the roundation, he turned up a stone which struck him as being very weighty. He pulled the old house down and began dig- ging, and discovered $125,000 worth of gold. To-day it is oné of the rich- est mines in Chile, About a gudrter of a century ago, two. prospectors in the bushland of Western Australia had put up their tent for the night, and determined to trek back to Perth next moraing, as their quest had proved fruit} One of them .was aroused from sleep by the restlessness of his horse, picketed Just outside the tent, and, going out to see what was' the matter, he trip- ped in the darkness over a boulder, which proved on examination to be almost pure gold.

It clings to 'teeth, gets teeth and stays. * between the The tooth brush alone doesn't end it. The ordinary tooth paste does not dis- solve So month after month it stays there and may do a ceaseless damage. That film is what discolers -- not the teeth. Itis 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- thea. Most tooth troubles are now traced directly to that film. Dental scientists have for years sought a way to end film. They have known that brushing could not save teeth if it left, that film upon them. "Now that film combatant has been found. Convincing tests, under able authorities, have proved it beyond question. The method is now embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And x Pepsadéhn we supply it free for testing to anyone who asks, The New-Day Dentifrice After convincing tests, it is now advised for daily use by leading dentists everywhere. X "The Way to End It _ Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin. The film is albu- minous matter. The object of Pepso- dent is to dissolve it, then to constantly combat it, ; Pepsin long seemed impossible. It must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. But science has discovered a harmless acti- vating method. Now activated pepsin can be applied, night and morning, to combat that film. i + Leading dentists everywhere are now advising Pepsodent.
