Higginsvills Post: "The Lexington
creamery has 'olimbed the golden stsirs.'"
This statement IL erroneous, II We UNDER
stand the AlsnS. The Lexington creamery
has only ceased operations for the winter, a.
almost all creameries do. 1t will open up
again with the return Of blue grass and
cream. The Post will oblige the managers
Of the creamery BY making the correction.
The intention Is to do a larger businsss next
year than was attempted this.
One of the brightest charms of q fair face
Is q fiue set Of teeth The ladies being fully
alive to this fact, %patronize Sozodont In pre-
ference TO any other dentifrice, since they
know by experience that it preserves like no
other the pristine whiteness and cleanliness
of the teeth, and makes O naturally sweet
breath additionally fragrant. 1t is one of the
privileges Of the beauI sel TO look lovely and
that portion of 1t which uses SOzodont,
has learned that the article contributes In no
small degree to the end in view. All drug
