' 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 are 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 I ootn Paste. Senreco combats the germ of the disease. Its regular use insures your teeth against the attack or further progress of pyorrhea.

THE CREDULITY I OF MANKIND I ’’ € Catalogue Houses Quack Doc- ■ tors of Commerce. 1 PROMISES, NOT GUARANTEES 1 A Mail Order House Baron Never Shoves His Patent 1 < Leather Shoes Under a Poor Man’s Table—His 1 Victims Extend from Ocean to Ocean—From Sunrise to the Last Chance.

ICopyrighted, 1914, by Thomas J. Sullivan.) Said a clever quack to a painstaking business man. "How many of the passing multitude, do you suppose, appreciate your honesty or understand the impositions of quackery?" “Not more than one in ten," was the answer. "Weil.” said the quack, “you may have the one. I'll take the nine." That is the system upon which the mall order houses operate, and nothing more strikingly portrays the credulity of mankind than their success. Quackery is a thing universal and universally successful, in most cases it is literally true that no imposition Is too great for the credulity of man. The Quack Doctor of Commerce. The retail mail order house is the quack doctor of commerce. It promises much and guarantees nothing. Like patent medicines, the directions are always on the Inside, and you must buy a nonreturnabie package before you can find out what they are. The mail order bouse never helped to build the little white school in your district or turnpike the road past your door. No mail order house ever took you by the band when you were iu distress aud told you to let the little account run until after harvest next year. No mail order house ever sold you a vehicle and spent every cent of its profits iu the community where you and your neighbors could get it all back again. No mall order bouse ever shoved its patent leather shoes under your table and rejoiced with you when you were glad, nor spoke encouraging words when affliction visited you, nor stood with uncovered head beside the graves of your children. Sentiment Is Unknown. That the mail order houses are after your money is an undisputed fact. Every dollar sent to them leaves your neighborhood forever. The mail order house may bear upon its face the semblance of friendship, but no human ' heart beats under its cloak of bypoc- ■ rlsy. Sentiment to it is unknown. I The whole institution is as cold and bloodless as a corpse. There never was a farm in all Christendom whose value was increased by the mail order houses. They are parasites to which life is worthy of 1 notice only while they can draw the ' financial blood out of the communities, ■ to the upbuilding of which they eoni tribute nothing. They create no local . market for product of the farms WE’LL WASH EVERYTHING BUT - the baby. And we guarantee you satisfactory work, or it don’t cost you a cent. Decatur Laundry. DON’T BUY YOUR TIRE OUT OF ’ town until you get our prices. We ■ can do just as well in prices as any • one anywhere. Be a home booster. I Kalver-Noble Garage Co. 1-■"" ■ - ■ ■ I HAVE YOU EVER SMOKED A ■ Masterpiece cigar? If not, why not? Try one and it will convince you that it is one of the best that money can buy. John H. Lose. IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF ANY work in my line, just call 'phone 739, or 765. Furnace, roofing, spouting, lightning rods, and cornice work. I guarantee all my work. A. R. Ashbaucher.

They have no property In the country which cau be assessed to help bear the burden of taxation. Can Duplicate Every Offer. In every town in the country the local retail merchant stands ready to duplicate every offer seductively set forth In tlie catalogues of mail order bouses, and more. He will trump the best trick the mail order house ever played if you will put down spot cash and accept from him a class of goods devoid of respectable ancestry and upon which no reputable manufacturer's name can tie found, but in which the disease germs of prison made goods are secreted. He can sell cheap goods if you will buy them from him with your eyes shut. He can meet the best price ever made by a mail order house if you will plank down your money and accept what he gives you without question aud without recourse. But you must not expect him to be in his place of business every day in the year, ready aud willing to make good any defect, ready and willing to stand back of every article he sells with his own reputation and the warranty of a responsible company. Local Merchant Needs No Advocate. The local merchant needs neither advocate nor defense. His methods rest ' upon principles that have built up in this country a system of Internal commerce which is botli the marvel and , the admiration of the world. His busi- . ness is legitimate because its success . contributes to the general prosperity of the community iu which it stands as a thriving example of honesty and industry. It does not require that a man shall be endowed with unusual mental attainments for him to know that a private monopoly in restraint of trade, de- ’■ signed to wring extortionate profits from consumers, is detrimental to the best interests of tfie patrons of I hat ! industry. Any combination organized 1 for the purpose of smothering competi tion. whether it be of capitalists, cap- . tains of industry, laborers, farmers, warehousemen, transportation lines or any other branch of the business world, is essentially unethical, unwise and de • structive of business in the end. ;: The honest consumer must pat himJ self enthusiastically on the back when ' he spends his money in such away that in supplying Ids own wants lie is helping to build up the community iu which he lives.
