In three things, at least, America
has set the civilized world a pace.

shoes. The condition of European
plumbing is suggested by an official
announcement recently issued from
Potsdam, as follows "Tha Emperor
begs to state that he will not accept
invitations for entertainment at any
residence or hostelry that is not fully
equipped with modern plumbing"
Many castles and palaces I'm Europe
haven't as good plumbing as can bel
found in our tenemonts
American dentists nll the teeth of
royalty. In all of the capitals OF Eu
rope American dentistry is advertised,
and whether the dentists are all
Americans or not, they certainly pay
America compliment by claiming
that they are.
American shoes lead the world as
they have a style. fit and 6nisl that
the European manufacturers have
never been able to encompass. Amer
cans are the best shod people in the
world, and pay less for shoes than
any other nation on the globe. The
finest mems shoes made in the world
today are purchased in the city of
Brockton, Mass.-it is here that the
