MOST DENTISTS ARE
SCARED

They're scared of the Dental Trust, in the first
place because the big boge-man threatens to
punish 'em if they break any of the rules of the
combine---if they cut prices or advertise or do
any other little thing that the Trust has decided
is "unethical."
They're scared of doing dentistry in a sensible up
to-date way because it would show them up as
business men at all---just old fashioned
bunco artists trading on the old reliables--fear
and ignorance.
They're scared to tell the people anything about
the real facts concerning tooth-Work, because
the people might find out that the molar-
mechanic was no soothsayer but just skilful
artisan, who should be charging for his work
as any sklfu artisan should charge.
They're scared to ask reasonable prices for their
work--because they think that they wouldn't
get enough customers to pay the Office rent. They
haven't the business sense to know that fair
price for workmanlike job is wonderful adj
vertisement in itself and attracts other patrons,
like flies around the moasses jug.
They're scared to tackle printers ink to tell people
about tooth-work---6rst, because their traditions
tell them it is so vulgar; second, because they
haven't the confidence in their own ability to
travel in fast company; third, because they are
economically stone-bnd.
They're scared of Painless Parker because despite
the hammer-fest he keeps on enlargng his prac-
tice delivering the goods and defying the Trust
And they've got sort of discouraged trying to put
him out of business---particuarly because when
ever Parkers downed for keeps, he opens up
few new dental offices in different cities up and
down our fair land

Tells How to Loosen Tender Corn
or Callous So It Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati author
ity to use a drug called Freezone,
which the moment few drops are
applied to any corn or callous the
soreness is relieved and soon the en-
tire Germ or callous, root and all
lifts off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment.it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callous without inf1aming or even If
ritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of Freezone
will cost very little at any of the
drug stores, but will positively rid
ones feet Of every hard or soft corn
or hardened callous. If your drug
gist hasn't any Freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for

HEMP SEED MUST BE SAVED THIS
YEAR.

Representing the United States
Department of Agriculture, wish to
call the attention of the hemp grow.
,erS to the shortage of hemp seed
There will certainly be a ready mar
ket for all seed produced in Kentucky
this year and the price will be very
good.
1t seems that those fields grown
for fiber which are not very prom
Using could be profitably left to ripen
seed. While fiber made from such
over-ripe plants is not as good as
that harvested at the proper time,
yet the additional amount received
for the seed will much more than
offset the loss in price Of fiber. Or
dinarily such seed, known as lint
seed, is not desired by the market.
This year, however, there will be a
ready sale for all lint seed at a good
price.
This suggestion is made only for
the fields of fiber-hemp that are not
good. Also for portions of fields that
are short and poor quality. The poor
patches, or spots, in good fields could
be left standing to ripen seed, and a
larger cash return obtained than if
they were harvested for fiber only.
While large portion of the fiber
hemp has already been harvested, yet
there. are many fields still standing
from which it is possible to obtain
seed.
