HARRIS TWEEDS SOMETHING ABOUT THESE VERY FASHIONABLE AND DISTINCTIVE SUITINGS . . . Real Harris Tweeds come from Harris, which is not an island, a# is generally supposed, but the southern part of the Isle <yf Lewis, in the. Outer Hebrides, on the West Coast of Scotland. Harris is divided from .Lewis by a range of mountains rising to a height of almost 3000 feet, so that the villages are distant and isolated from Stornoway, the only town in the whole island. Harris Tweed is a distinct type of cloth, hand-spun, hand-woven, and hand-finished by Crofters. These people are expert in . the. use of dyes, which they make from herbs, roots, and lichens, from which beautiful, rich colours: are obtained. After the Tweed is woven it is washed, by being placed in wooden tubs, usually three in a row, filled with boiling water and placed by . the side of a mountain stream. The water is heated in a pot over a peat fire close by. The cloth is then placed like a long serpent from tub to tub, and a girl stands in each one and actually washes the Tweed with her feet. This is done over, the whole length of the piece, and it is then placed out on the heather to dry. The water in these mountain streams is of a deep brown colour, caused by the streams passing through peat bogs, from which it derives certain properties that give the Tweed a soft handle after it has-been washed therein. There are probably no Tweeds in the world that possess the wearing qualities of these, hand-spun, hand-woven fabrics, and their popularity to-day among well-dressed men is greater than ever. . 1 We have a fine selection of these Unique Tweeds, in Artistic Colouryigs, of which we invite inspection.

Remove FILM Thus combat serious tooth and gum disorders at the source XT ER E is advice from the dental profession as a body; keep teeth white and sparkling see your dentist twice a year. That is the scientific .way to combat the danger of tooth and gum disorders. Extensive research has brought to light the fact that the source of dull, dingy teeth is likewise the source of decay' and pyorrhea—a dingy film that forms on teeth and breeds germs of many kinds. Brushing alone fails to remove this film successfully. Therefore, you are urged to use the new special filmremoving dentifrice—Pepsodent. As teeth grow white and dazzling from its use you know film is being removed. For white teeth are your best assurance of protection. You can feel this film on your teeth with your tongue a slippery, sticky coating that is most noticeable after eating. This film absorbs discolourations and makes otherwise . white teeth dull and dingy. Film cannot resist brushing as it did before this new way was discovered. The new-found agents in Pepsodent curdle and loosen film so that light brushing takes it off. The use of Pepsodent further aids in firming gums and restores their healthy coral colour. Thus, Pepsodent answers fully the requirements of the dental profession of to-day. It is the greatest step made in a half century’s study of toothcleansing methods. Pepsodent The Special Dentifrice Dull, lustreless teeth —frequent tooth and gum disturbances—both are now traced to dangerous film.
