UNREAL NATURAL TEETH To produce them has required 1 -Wore persistent effort of time and patience than most people realize. The difference, between teeth that appear natural and those that don’t—to the material of which they are made and a knowledge of the correct position and fitting to make them look real beside real teeth. Some dentists deserve popularity for this work. One assurance that the merits of my work are praise-wor-thy—my patrons urge others to give me a call. Arrange to make your call. DR. HORTON

The burial of little Oakel Gant, who died Monday night, was, at the last moment, decided to be made here in Weston cemetery, instead of at Demotte as first intended. The little girl’s father is burled at Demotte and It was intended to bury her by his side, but the family had, no regular lot there and the space next her father’s grave had been used to bury someone else, hence the decision to, bury here. The remains of Mr. Gant will likely be removed from Demotte to Weston cemetery later. The funeral of the little girl was held Wednesday afternoon from the F. W. Baptist church, Rev., O. E. Miller conducting the service. Anson Cox, the carpenter, who was injured by being thrown fjrom a horse at the S. P. Thompson farm near Parr Sunday afternoon, is improving very slowly and is irrational part of the time. The accident occurred while Anson was helping a boy drive some steers from ! the yard. The steers had become irrated ard Anson got onto the horse the boy had been riding to see what he could do. One of the steers charged his horse and the frightened animal threw Anson about four feet off the saddle and he catae down on the ground with great force, striking on his head. He was unconscious for several hours and since being brought home has improved but slowly. His doctor thinks he will finally come out all right, however. It was a close call, surely.

DANGEROUS MALADY

- '» . Has Developed Among Cattle in the Keystone State. t Danville, Penn., November 11.— An epidemic of foot and mouth, disease which has developed among cattle in Monteur and Columbia counties has caused the state and Federal authorities to quarantine four farms and one large cattle pen In the affected idstrlct. The disease, which wrought havoc among cattle in the Transvaal some time ago, is extremely contagious, and five state veterinarians and several Government officials are here studying the malady.

When the “Airy Navies” Fight.

The men who fight in ships on water are actually preparing for defense from missiles hurled or dropped from the skies, according to the Brooklyn Eagle. The problem before them is to I protect the vital parts of the ship from j attacks. Seagoing shipp of war are constructed so as to protect the cn-j gines and steering gear; also the magazines from projectiles coming through the vessels’ sides. They are not likely to be exitosed to dropping bombs except in dose action with land batteries. something rare in modern warfare.

Under present methods of warship construction defense from dropping bombs in?v take the form of nets spread nbove vulnerable points In the , superstructure. These will at least j check the ordinary bomb and limit the 1 force. Shells which emit poisonous fumes, however, can spread death in spite of the holdup if the contact with the net Is sufficiently violent to ex- i plode them or if they are exploded by a fuse. Experts 'differ as to the amount of damage an airship can do; to an ocean ship. It is admitted tbat J It will be extremely difficult for the' airship artillerist to hit his target. At, the most he can only disable a few men or some of the machinery. Shells that explode on deck usually do but ; little damage. Those that penetrate! the armor and explode to the ship’s bowels are the ones that wreck things, j This is the work cat out for torpedo boats, and many met} *t present doubt the efficiency of the aerial torpedo thrower? . • .•< • ,*. ... ■ V J

La Porte, Ind., Nov. 13.—The introduction of evidence in the trial of Ray Lamphere for the murder of Un.

Block (aged 54), merchgpt Not Persecuting Anybody. Prosecutor Smith’s opening statement to the Jury consumed an hour, and in it he went much into detail as to what he would prove. He took occasion to say: "We are not persecuting anybody. We have no animosity to satisfy, we have no axes to grind, we have no spleen to vent on anybody. A dark cloud has fallen upon our county. It is our duty to uncover the mystery and to punish the guilty, if possible. Now I want to set at rest any idea that we are of necessity trying to fasten the crime on somebody', no matter who 1t may be. Somebody has been murdered, but it is your duty from tse evidence to .determine if Ray Lamphere Is the gunty man.” Defendant's Counsel Objects. During the statement Attorneys Worden and Weir objected several times, making notably strong objections when Smith stated that he would prove by the coroner’s inquest report certain facts. Hiey contended that the report could not tie Introduced as evidence excepting to impeach n~ witness, but Prosecutor Smith argued that be could offer the report as direct evi-

IS THIS A SQUARE DEAL?

That’s the squarest kind of a square deal as every fair minded man knows. But B. F. Fendig can afford to make this offer because he knows that Mi-o-na tablets are a worthy stomach remedy, and that the makers will back up the generous offer. And so we say to all readers of The Democrat suffering or ailing with any Btomach trouble, try Mi-o-na. It has such mighty and powerful influence on the stomach that it immediately refreshes and relieves, t)ien Invigorates and cures. It strengthens the stomach walls, puts the stomach in such perfect condition that it can digest food without pain or other distressing symptons. It cures -by removing the cause, and it removes the cause 96 times in a hundred. A large box of Mi-o-na tablets only costs 50 cents, and relief will come in 24 hours. "Mi-o-na tablets are truly great for anyone that has stomach trouble. I can not praise them too highly for what they have done for me.” —Mrs. W. D. Bennett, Bucksport, Me.

B. F. Fendig. the Druggist, will Give Yon Your Money Back if MI-O-NA Does Not Core Dyspepsia.
