Nov. 29. —(Special to Daily Democrat) — Strong opposition to Sunday blue laws, advocated by eastern reform organizations was voiced in the middle west today.

DrwMt The douole-aervice | tooth paste, j A A keeps teeth dean AND GUMS Keeping the gums healthy and the mouth sweet is very important to health; more teeth are lost through the loosening of the tissue that bolds the teeth In place than from decay. Dental science to-day demands that a tooth paste must keep the gums healthy as well as clean the teeth. Senreco was formulated to meet thia requirement. Hundreds of dentists are prescribing and using Senreco because they have found that it does measure up to that standard. SENRECO IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. In addition to its remedial properties Senreco is a wonderful cleanser; acts directly on the mucin film, the basis of tartar; leaves the mouth cool and clean-feeling. As some one has expressed it—Senreco gives one a new idea on mouth cleanliness. Get a tube to-day at your druggists or toilet counter—enjoy the healthy, cleanly feeling its use gives your mouth and gums. Notice how brilliantly white Senreco makes your teeth. It performs this two-fold service for you and yet costs no more than the ordinary, old-fashioned tooth paste that simply cleans the teeth and leaves a pleasant taste— ,
