; Types in the Crowd. PLODDERS A plodder is not necessarily a shirker or an idler. He has his ambitions and

his ideals. The only difference between a hustler

and a plodder is,' that the hustler reaches the goal earlier, but the plodder gets there, too, even if it takes him years and decades. - Hustlers often burn up the fuel of. physical strength and mental stamina before they attain their objective, enabling the easy-going plodder, with his mind serenely on his mission, to pass them on the way and gather the fruits of victory. When Marshal von Hindenburg took command of the German campaign against Russia, many military critics were dumfounded by the slowness with which he put his war machine into motion. They expected to see speed and dash, quick and decisive action. Slow moving Von Hindenburg patiently assembled the units of his army, and then began the gradual, slow but irresistable repulse of the Russian hordes. Many a plodder in the business world refuses to take a speedy short cut to success, preferring to see his venture develop slowly, and surely. His bank account may not pile up fast, but his bankers rate him safe and sound, and in the end he attains a comfortable competence for old age. Few thoughtful men are plungers. They take time to ponder over investments, believe in studying the situation', sizing up its weaknesses, and acting with a complete grasp of details. Plodders make up the strong conservative element that is needed in every communiay. They give backbone to the business structure. Fire Loss Reduced. Richmond did its share last year in reducing the fire loss in Indiana, its record being one of the best in the state. No abatement in the fight against property destruction by fire will follow this year. Estimates of the reduction of losses from fire in the United States in 1915 show a healthy tendency everywhere to co-operate in the movement. The New York Press, commenting on the -reduction of fire losses, says: The fire loss of the United States, roughly

speaking, averages $225,000,000 per annum. In exceptional years this loss and waste is $1,000,000, a day, a tremendous drain on the resources of even so rich a nation as the United States.

A 1 Ui CO 1U1 XOAS, UUncCIBUVn w.w year's fire loss was lower than in any preceding year for a decade. " The loss for 1914 reached $235,591,300. The loss for 1915 was $182,836,200, or $52,755,100 less than the year before. . - How far this improvement is to go, and how far it can go, is suggested by the fact that in six European countries the per capita fire loss is 83 cents, while in the United States it runs close to $2.50. Fully 80 per cent, of all the fire losses in this country are preventable. Careful investigation made by the different state officials and commissions indicate that at least 80 per cent, of the fires are due primarily to carelessness in their origin. The $52,000,000 saved this last year by the American people in reduced fire waste is just that much gain, as compared with the year before, for the total wealth of the country.

Roads and Progress.

W. O. Jones, county superintendent of roads, has put the roads of Wayne county into an excellent condition. His fame has spread over the whole state. His methods are being copied and his opinions on matters pertaining to road construction "and maintenance are accepted as authoritative. 1 Speaking before the tri-county institute at Cambridge City, Superintendent Jones yesterday showed how community welfare depends on good roads. He said: "It. has only been through the improvement of the roads that it has been possible to centralize the school system ; good roads are also responsible for better churches; good roads make better markets, for the farmers can haul their products to market at any and all times cheaper than if they had to travel on poor roads; good roads make better towns and cities for they afford closer communication between the farmer and the cities' business men." A long commentary on the statement of Mr. Jones is unnecessary, for he has summarized the whole proposition. Without good transportation facilities, a community is shut off from progress. In the isolated rural districts, far from centers of population, with impassible roads in winter, are found crass. ignorance, superstition, opposition to every movement that is contrary to the old and established way. Good roads bring the far-off farm house close to the arteries of progress; they bring the child close to the school. They bring enlightenment, intelligence and comfort to the farmer.

Tanner Daily Puzzles

Polly, Polly wants a cracker," sang out a bright green and yellow parrot on Mrs, Clarke's porch one spring afternoon. ' Polly Perkins, who sat rubbing an old teapot on the step, looked at the' bird lovingly. ' Polly evidently thought it was time for conversation, for ehe talked and whistled till every one passing stopped to listen. She shook herself and swung on her perch as if very proud of her gay colors and of having an audience. Presently a carriage with a lady richly dressed drove by; then, hearing the bird, turned and stopped at the gate. Polly ran out to the street. "That is a very fine parrot you have." said the lady. "Will you sell It? 1 will give you $25 for it. It talks so well." Polly grew red with excitement. Twenty-five dollars would be an immense amount to her, for little brother

was sick and needed to go to the country. But could she part with dear old Poll? , "This is my address," said the lady, handing the girl a card." and If you decide to part with the bird by tomorrow noon, let me know. I would like to have It to give my niece for a birthday gift." Polly sat on the steps for an hour waiting for her mother to return. Inside she could hear Bob restlessly turning In his bed. "Twenty-five dollars would send him to the country for a month." said Polly Perkins to herself.. "'I must sell dear old Poll." "I will put Polly in the closet while I clean the cage." said Polly Perkins to herself; "then the bird will look her best when I take her to the lady." So Polly was put in the closet a big, dark closet with lots of shelves and little places all about it. It was under the steps, and very rarely that any one went into it at all. So Polly Perkins cleaned and polished the big brass cage, then she got her hat and went to bring Polly out of the closet. When she opened the door

she found the bird had knocked a cov

bag. The bird tugged and tugged, and at last with a flop both bird and bag tumbled at Polly Perkins' feet. Polly Perkins turned pale with excitement-when she saw the. bag, then jerking it up she ran to her mother's room. "Oh, mother, look what Polly found in a dish in the top of the closet!" she cried, placing the bag in her mother's lap. "Why, it is the purse your father put the money in the day he broueht it home," cried Mrs. Perkins, with tears in her eyes. She opened the bag and out tumbled the money $3,000 in new, crisp green bills. "Oh, you darling thing," screamed Polly Perkins, grabbing the parrot that was strutting about the table. "You have found our mony I will never sell you now, and Bobby can go to the country and mother and I, too." So Polly Parrot was not sold, but

lived a happy life in the pretty new home that Mrs. Perkins bought. And when the family went to the mountans

the bird went with them and kept up her funny chatter all the way there.

DROPSY TREATED FREE By Dr. Miles, the'Great Specialist, Who Sends a New $3.75 Treatment Free. Many Cured After Others Failed. At first no disease is apparently more harmless than dropsy; a little swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles or abdomen. Finally there is great shortness of breath, cough, faint spells, sometimes nausea and vomiting, even bursting of the limbs and a lingering and wretched death if the dropsy is not removed. Dr. Miles has been known as a leading specialist in these diseases for 30 years. His liberal offer of a $3.75 Treatment free to all sufferers, is certainly worthy of serious consideration. You may never have such an opportunity again. The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists of four dropsy remedies in one, also Tonic Tablets and Pura-Laxa for removing the water. This treatment is specially prepared for each patient and is three times as successful as that of most physicians. It usually relieves the first day, and removes swelling in six days in most cases. Delay is dangerous. Send for Remarkable Cures in Your State. All afflicted readers may have Book, Examination Chart, Opinion, Advl-e and a Two-Pound Trial Treatment free. Write at once.

' , 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 Tooth Paste. Senreco combats the germ of the disease. Its regular use insures your teeth against the attack or further progress of pyorrhea. r

Watch out for Pyorrhea!

When you find a tooth that gives back and

forth, even just a little, see your dentist at once. He will find conditions which you might overlook. He will find a gum recession, even though slight, where the gums have pulled away from the teeth. And he will tell you that you have the dread disease pyorrhea.

HutStnrectdusmtrt. 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 wholo-someness.

Start 'the Senreco treatment before pyorrhea grips you for good. Detail in folder with every tube. A two-ounce tube for 25c U sufficient for 6 week daily treatment. Get Senreco of your druggist ttdmy; or send 4c in tamps or coin or sample, tube and folder. Address The Sentanel Remedies Company 503 Union Cental-Building, Cincinnati, Ohio.
