In The Spring One’s Thoughts Turn to Style When the cheery Spring days roll ’round, instinctively one’s thoughts turn to “what shall I buy for a coat or suit?” Let ps help you settle the eternal question. Our new line of Bischof Coats and Suits is simply fascinating. They’re quite different from anything you’ll see elsewhere and women who pride themselves on their good-dressing ideas won’t fail to review them. Fashion says that three-quarter, hip-length and short coats bid / for popularity. Neither fitted nor loose but a half-between J effect, making them extremely girlish. Some are elaborately jS i trimmed —some mannishly tailored —all are delightful. Skirts are generously full and rippling—short enough to be ’ v / youthful yet long enough to be smart. y y Our Utility, Top and Sport Coats are full and rippling, A 11 flaring gracefully at the bottom. Fabrics are novel in design 1/7 ( and radiant in colors. /1 Every model is individual and you’ll simply enthuse over / // ■ them. / li ( J Treat yourself to an unusual opportunity—Come in and look around—even if you’re not quite ready to buy. A warm welcome is assured. ' Jackets from $7.50 to s2s.ooSuits from $12.50 to $35.00

THEY WRITE HOME Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Judd W rite Home to Relatives from Florida. IT IS HOT THERE And Great Fishing—Some Facts About the Country and People. • Samuel Burkhead has received the folowing letter from his niece and nephew, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Judd, who have bought a tract of ground in Florida and will reside there: April 16, 1916. My Dear Uncle and Aunt: Weil, I presume you think I have forgotten you, but I often think of you, so will put my thoughts into words. We have been on the go most of the time, sight-seeing. We have stopped off in eighteen different cities and towns, from one day to two weeks. We saw the Atlantic from these, went to the Gulf of Mexico. We stopped in Chattanooga for three, days; went all over the battlefields, Missionary Ridge. Bloody Pond, Snodgrass Hill, Chickamauga battlefield. We aso saw the Natibnal cemetery, whore 14,000 Union soldiers are buried. We took a sight-seeing trip, then we went up the incline railroad, which is seven-eights of a mile long, to Lookout mountain; had our pictures taken on Umbrella rock; had a guide with Us to explain everything; went from ther to Atlanta, Ga.; went through the federal prison and state capitol and other places of interest; were three three days. Went from there to Jacksonville, Florida. Were there three days. The large boats came in from New York. Went from there to St. Augustine. That is a very quaint old city. Saw the old Spanish fort; went all through and had a guide to explain all about the way they tortured people there. We went in a boat across the bay to the Atlantic ocean. We walked along the beach and watched thb tide coming in and gathered shells. St. Augustine is a beautiful city and the oldest in the United States. We went back to Jacksonville and took the boat up the St. John’s river to Sanford—a 200-mile trip. The scenery up the river was beautiful. Sanford is a great celery country. We sawfields and fields growing. We saw our first orange and banana trees along the river front. There are alligators on that river front. Every one who had a kodak was out on the deck looking for alligators, but we didn’t see any. We went from Sanford to Orlando by railroad. Orlando is a beautiful city of 10,000 population. with fourteen lakes in the city limits. Went from there to St. Cloud. That is an old soldiers’ town. We remained there two weeks. Well, Uncle Sam, you would enjoy that town—all old soldiers in that town; sprung up like a mushroom. Six years ago there was nothing there. The lady we stopped with said six years ago when she went there, there were only one or two buildings. Everybody were living in tents. Now they claim 3,000 and the Grand Army ■has a large building. They have an electric lighting have five nice church buildings and a fine public school. There is one large lake there. Went to Kissimmee; that is the county seat. From there to Lake Alfred; then to Winter Haven. There are 100 lakes within five miles of that town. It has 2,500 population.’lt it a great citron country around Winter Haven. We went, from there to Bartow, the county seat. There is lots of trucking done around there. It is wonderful how these towiys have sprung up around the south. We remained at Winter Haven one week and took trips out of there. We left there for Lakeland. That is the, largest city inland —I mean central states. Staid there two weeks; took several auto trips out of there to see other places. From there we went to Tampa, a city of 60,000, and it is on the Tampa bay. We saw lots of sights there one week. Went across ‘ the bay to St. Petersburg. Were there two weeks. Went to Tarpoon Springs. I They have a great .sponge industry 1 there. They go ont on the gulf forty; or fifty miles aiid dive down for sponges. From there we went to' Newport Richy in auto; then back to: St. Petersburg. All Fools’ day we I went out fishing with a crowd of about ; twenty-five across the bay, twelve miles out on the gulf. The one that caught the largest fish was to get the 1 pile of money. They went around and each one gave ten cents, making .tn all $2.10. I caught the largest fish i caught that day—a grouper, weighing j nine pounds—and won the $2.10. Frank and I caught about fifty pounds all together. There were 500 pounds caught that day in about two and onehalf hours. When we got back to the Jungles John Hale was tjfere. Frank gave him four fish We gave the lady I we were stopping with all she could « t

use, and to a man that helped carry j them Frank gave three; then wo had a lot to spoil. We went up to the | docks at St. Petersburg one day and caught 459 Spanish mackerel. They i are fine. Wo camo across the bay and up the Manitel river to Bradentown. This is a great place. They ship the celery from here by the car load. They are to begin shipping tomatoes next week. We bought a twenty-acre tract, sixty rods outside of the city limits. We have a bear Ing orange grove on ten acres, and ton acres in truck, or celery ground.! We got nine boxes of tarts, or late | oranges. The graue fruit and tangerines had been picked, and most of the oranges. Frank has rented ten acres for S3OO, or S3O an aero, for this year. He has four negroes plowing and fertilizing. and he is trimming the trees. We expect to leave here for home by the twenty-sixth, but expect to return to Florida next fall again to make our home. This is a fine country. The climate is great. The coldest weather we have had was when we were out at Jacksonville, 30 degrees above. There are so many old people out here for, their health. There were 40.000 tourists alone in St. Petersburg this winter. There are 14.000 permanent residents there. Frank is stuck on Florida. There is no discount on the climate. The roses have been blooming ever since we have been here, and birds singing. This < is like a July day in the sun, but cool in Nte shade. At night it is cool. We have had blankets on the bed all the time, but sleep between sheets. It takes a very little fuel: they only have fireplaces and oil heaters, and very small wood stoves. The pine wood burns fine. They have turpentine groves out here where they tap the trees and catch the sap in buckets or vessels. We have traveled over 300 miles by water, and are now I, miles from home. Frank and five other men went out in the bay about eighteen miles last week one day to fish. They went out to a place called Mullet Key. an island, where the government reserve is stationed, to watch that no foreign boats come into the United States. They brought home seventy Spanish mackerel. Frank caught fifty-three. He left all but the Spanish mackerel. He got twelve of them. We gave six away. They went out in a twentyfoot motor boat. When they started back the water was rough and the waves dashed over the boat. It kept two of the men busy dipping the water out of the boat to keep it from killing the engine. For a time it looked scary, so they said. They were afraid that they would float back to Tampa, which was forty miles away. When they got home there wasn’t a dry thread on them, blit the experience was worth something. We saw eight or ten tarpons when we were coming over here from St. Petersburg. They looked six to eight feet long. Two swam right alongside the boat for a while. We surely have enpoyed every moment since we left home. We left J. D. Hale and wife at St. Petersburg. They expect to return to Decatur by Easter. Mrs. Hale is much improved in health. Hoping this finds you all well and happy, we remain, Sincerely yours, MR. AND MRS. H. J. JUDD, Bradentown, Fla. P S.—lt is ninety in the shade here 'eday—just like July at home. WOMAN AVOIDS JPERATION Medicine Which Made Surgeon’s Work Unnecessary. Astoria, N.

From pyorrhea come by far the greater part of all tooth troubles. Unless treated and checked, it will result not only in the shrinking and malformation of your gums and of the bony structure into which your teeth at e set, but in the loss of the teeth themselves. A specific for pyorrhea has been discovered recently by dental science, and is now offered for daily treatment in Senreco Tooth Paste. Senreco combats the germ of the disease. Its regular use insures your teeth against the attack or further progress of pyorrhea.

Go now to a minor and examine your mouth? Do your gums look “rinsed out,” shrunken? Do you see a jagged appcarar.ee in the gum-line? If so, see your dentist He will tell you that you have pyorrhea, and that to save your teeth you will have to fight this dread disease at once.

'But Stnrttt dots mere. It cleanses the teeth delightfully. It gives them a whiteness distinctive of Senreco alone. Its flavor is entirely pleasing, and it leaves in the mouth a wonderful sense of coolness and wholesomeness.

Start the Senreco treatment before pyorrhea grips you for good. Details in folder with every tube. A two-ounce tube for 25c is sufficient for 6 weeks’ daily treatment. Get Senreco of your druggist ttday; or send 4c in stamps or coin for sample tube and folder. Address The Sentanel Remedies Company 503 Union Centra! Building, Cincinnati, Ohio.
