Physicians have found that when di.
luted vinegar is used to clean the
teeth the enamel soon wears away
and rough ridges appear. These
ridges form excellent lodging places
for particles of food that decay and
In turn start the teeth to rotting.
Many dentists now recommend that
the teeth be brushed lengthwise in
stead OF crossways with fine grit

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAR. 10, 1915
THE FARMERS AND THE COVER
NORSHIP.

The greatest single interest in
Maryland IL that pertaining To the
cultivation OF the soil, and the farm
ers or the State are more particularly
concerned 10 the questions which
come before the state legislative and
executive officers than any other
class of people Taxes bear more
heavily on this class of people than
on others, for their property Is OF
such character that it cannot be
concealed, and therefore is taxed in
almost every instance at its full
value.
And vet the farmers and those de-
pendent on agriculture are usually
the last people whose interests are
taken into consideration BY those who
dominate state affairs; and taxes are
piled UP In reckless disregard of
their rights, and their ability to
stand up under the burden. Appro
priations are made for all sorts OF
things, and In the end the farmers
are obliged to pay much more than
their share, and very much more
than many of them can afford
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1915-03-19

The farmers of the state have an
opportunity To place i'm the executive
chair at Annapolis this year, one OF
their own class, one who understands
their needs, and who has record for
efficiency and economy In public af-
fairs which should commend him to
them as the very best man for the
Governorship. Senator Beasman, OF
Carroll, has been a farmer all his
life, and has lived in the same dis
trict ever since he was born. He
was educated at the State Agricultur-
al College, and has made a decided
success as a farmer, and as a bust
ness man in connection with his
practical knowledge of farming He
has worked in the fields and knows all
about the early hours, the hard
work, and everything else connected
with a farmers life. He knows from
actual and practical experience just
what the farmer should have in the
way of legislation, and the practical
effect of trial legislation, and, as
Governor he would see that full jus
tice was done for the farmer.
The farmers OF Maryland should
take advantage Of this opportunity
and nominate and elect Mr.. Beasman
as Governor, and The Advocate be-
lieves they will do so.
