When a prospective purchaser calls
for a well advertised article and is
prevailed on to accept something
just as good" offered by the dealers,
does be lose ans thing2 Usually
he does. In the first instance a
substitute which Is intended TO
sell through advertising of better
known article is rarely equal In
intrinsic value 10 the article imi-
tated. In the second place the
dealer who urges the purchase OF
a substitute usually does 30 for the
reason that he makes more by It's
sale than by the sale OF the genuine
article. In seeking 10 benefit by
the publicity given 70 a bona iiida
manufactured product by building
up the trade Of a rival article, even
though it be in fact just as good,
the dealer is guilty Of palpable
fraud and the purchaser who ac-
cepts the substitute helps 10 per-
petuate IL. In the great majority
Of cases, however, the substitute j.
greatly inferior 90 the well.knOwu
article and Is offered because the
retail dealer can buy il cheaper
and cell it Tor a greater profit. It
does not pay TO spend millions to
advertise goods without merit and
no one know- this better than the
men with brains and business exc
perience who pay the advertising
bills.-Farm and Ranch.

A PERTINENT ENQUIRY,

EDITOR ARGUs:-Please allow me
race in your paper to ask a few
questions,
Why are there so many negroes
allowed to loaf the streets Of Colds
boro? 1t is not allowed in any other
large town in the State.
Why are SO many of the small
negro boys allowed to stay away
from school? / counted fifteen of
them in front of the Hotel KennOn
at noon, yesterday, that should have
been at school t.'. =.
/ believe we have to pay taxes to
educate the negro boy, a. well as
the white boy.
Then the boot blacks are very
annoying. I have seen four and five
alta time tagging after one man.Some
one should look into this matter.
Yours truly,

Treatment confined exclusively to
diseased gums, specially that very
prevalent and hurtful disease known
as Riggs disease, and recognized by
SWOLLEN, bleeding gums, loosened
teeth and fetid breath. Treatment
is mild and of short duration, but
effective. One treatment of one sit
ting is all that is requisite in a large
majority of cases. Most extreme
cases of bloodand pus discharge from
gums, and worst type of tainted
breath can be checked in a limited
period of time, and without the use
of internal remedies or severe local
treatment.

In the annual report of the State
Board of Health considerable stress is
laid upon the necessity of special ap-
propriation to enable the board to cope
with typhoid fever. which the report
AYERS is raging nearly all over the
state. In the year 1902 more than g.
900 cases OF the disease were reported.
The cause of the unusual prevalence of
typhoid is alleged In the report to be
the existence of germs in the streams.
and the available fund at the command
of the board is inadequate to make the
proper and necessary tests. and to pur-
chase the necessary apparatus. The
report requests the passage OF bill to
protect the purity OF water supply and

Board of Health relative to the estab-
lishment OF systems of water supply.

compulsory vaccination. the report
states that Its enforcement within the
