Broken Bric-a Bracs.

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of New
York. explains some very interesting facts
aboat Majors cement.
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent. better
than other cementS for which similar claims
are made, but great many do not know
why The simple reason is that Mr.. Major
uses the best materials ever discovered and
other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs So. Is a pound
and another costs 81 Is a gallon, while a large
share of the SO-called cements and LIQUID
SiXteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and in some cases, altered slightly in
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
it his only object is to make larger profit.
any dealer ought to make any cement.
And this is doubbly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
OF Mr.. Majors advertising. Which now
amounts to over $4,000 month throughout
the country. Established in 1876

It's a queer thing how many peo-
Dle can wear a certain kind OF coat
with perfect fit. For instance a
little squib about certain sportive-
ness on the part of one or two peo-
ole, appearing in this column last
week, was construed to mean multi
tude of people. Who did we mean
was frequently asked-perhaps it
was some person in particular, and
maybe it wasn't, but if anyone feels
that the coat fits them they have
only to put it on. It is certain,
though, that there are some who are
good enough to know that they were
not meant-at least, we hope so.
THE TINES went to considerable
trouble and some expense this week
to give an illustrated write-up of the
republican county ticket. We sup
posed, of course, that our candidates
would have some opposition, but the
democratic leaders were so busy
hustling that they forgot to file their
papers, and now it is all one way.
Well, it was pretty much in that
condition anyway. AS there is very
little difference in the situation we
have concluded to run the article
just as originally intended.
This may be sleepy weather, but
when the whole democratic party of
4he county slumbers peacefully,
quitely on, and forgets to file their
certificate of nominations, it indi-
Gates such a drowsy condition that
a harsh awakening should be provid-
ed for Our democratic friends are
evidently very much on the to-
Doggan.
