A DAILY DELIGHT , That is a stranger to many, but should not be, is the use of a full set of teeth. If you have neglected and allowed most ’of your teeth to waste away, you can’t do better than to .protect the remaining good teeth by securing a platevit " once. You can easily become accustomed to this necessity > when it is fitted with extreme care. The minutest attention I give to this work gives many of my patients a wish to have ’ had a plate before. —v - i. V ~~ ' Come in and I will tell you about the kind most suitable , for you—the kind that will not arouse your temper. OR. HORTON OPP COURTHOUSE

Some Kniman Notes.

Wm. Heilscher, the blacksmith, is huilding an addition to bis b’acksmith shop, 22x42 feet in dimensions, It will make him a fine shop and he will Install all the latest equipment in 1 it Chas. Kramer and wife are planning to go to Chicago for the winter and the other evening they were most pleasantly surprised by about 25 of their friends. Mrs. Kramer also entertained Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Hanna and Mi*, and Mrs. W. M. Boyles for tea Tuesday evening. The political situation at Kniman looks all right from a republican! view point. Taft and his record and his clear and firm %nd fair attitude toward all maters of legislation in which the country is interested, looks good to the Walker township citizen. The pa it twelve years have suited us, and we dop’t want any experiments b> false prophets. And Watson and advance temperance also looks good up here. And whi]e these things are all right and are going to be supported by all republicans and by a number of ( democrats who don’t intend to vofe I against their conscience, we believe ( that there is a feeling of the necessity of voting the township and county tickets straight That Is where the success of a party lays. Nominating . good men and then staying by them. I And the republicans have done that this year all along the line. A good republican speech wotild be appreciated at Kniman. We will get out a good crowd. • •
