See, this word here is
'remember'--that has eight letters. Read every eighth word in this
advertisement. I've underlined them."
Fleck took the paper quickly from her hand and he and Carter bent
eagerly over it to see if her theory was correct.
REMEMBER
Please, that our new paste, Dento, will
_stop_ decay of your teeth. Sound teeth
are _passports_ to good health and comfort.
No good _business_ man can risk ill health.
It is _closely_ allied with failure. The
teeth if not _watched_ are quickly gone.
USE DENTO
A genuine, safe, pleasing paste for the
teeth, prepared and sold only by the
Auer Dental Company, New York.
"Stop passports business, closely watched," repeated Fleck aloud. "That
certainly makes sense and fits the facts, too. In the last few days we
have drawn the net closely around a gang of supposed Scandinavians who
have been busy supplying passports to suspicious-looking travelers.
Let's see the other advertisement."
Excitedly the three of them read it together as Fleck underscored every
fourth word.
DON'T
Forget it is _imperative_ for one and _all_
to use cleansing _agents_ on teeth that
_leave_ no bad results. "_Ship_ more of
that _wonder_-working paste immediately.
