Why This Is
Baltimore's
Best Store.
"BaLtimore's Best
Store" Is not a title
which we arbitrarily
adopted. 1t was con-
fered upon us years
ago by the shopping
public.
9 From the beginning
of this store, nearly
twenty years ago, we
have striven to do
these things:
70 serve a wen as
TO sell;
To give the store .
homehke and hospk
table atmosphere;
To m a Ike courtesy,
liberality and friend
illness everyday vir-
tues among our peo-
pie;
To sell dependable
merchandise at fair
prices, permitting NO
Misrepresentation of
quality orvalue, either
In the public prints
or behind our count
ers;
Tomake good, cheer
fully and willingly,
any shortcomings in
any article we sell.
II Is these principles
that have been woven
into the success of
Baltimo ores Best
Store. And we are
not even content with
the store as it is, but
are ever trying to
make it still better.
q Whenever you visit
Baltimore, make this
store your shopping
hea d arters.
Whether you pur-
chase or not, you will
find the same cordial

Fencing a Continent.

The state Of South Australia has
since 1891 erected 29,148 miles Of "ver-
min fences" enough to encircle the
globe and with the remnant build q
double line fence along the southern
border Of the United States. When
contracts now running are completed
the mileage will be much increased.
New South Wales has expended over
$27,00O,0O0 for rabbit determination
and has within its borders $4,000 miles
of fence. One Of Western Australians
fences extends entirely across the con-
tinent. OF late years the rabbit has
been repaying in part for his keep
paying his board, as it were. He goes
to swell the total Of food exports from
the commonwealth. Along the coun-
try roads rabbits may be seen hung on
fences awaiting the passage Of the rab-
bit carts, which convey them to the
packing houses to be prepared for ship
ment as frozen meat and hides. Prac-
tically all are exported. The Austria
liam does not eat "vermin. National

The Rubber Situation.

We as people are almost absolutely
dependent on Great Britain for our
supply of crude rubber, as the great
plantations are largely controlled by
British capital. There are several pos
sibilities for making us independent of
any other country for our crude rubber
supply. One is plant called guayule,
which is even now being successfully
raised in this country and which has
been successfully raised in Mexico.
There are several other rubber bearing
plants also which might be raised in
this country. But the largest field
seems to be the Philippine Islands.
where plantation rubber can be pro-
duced cheaply and well. Capital has
held off, owing to the uncertain future
of these islands, but local conditions
there are ideal for a large rubber in
dustry.-Andrew 81. King in Metallur
gical and Chemical Engineering.

After spending Thursday evening in
the local Jail, Nels Stenjem, who failed
to register June 5, was taken to Madi-
son by Chief of Police Paul Hanson.
Mr.. Stenjem had been employed on the
Veium farm east of town. His reason
for not registering was that he thought
those who were not citizens did not
have to register. He said that he
would willingly register if it was the
law, therefore he may be given a
chance to register.

SOAP an Antiseptic.

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement Of epidemic diseases in
recent years, are sufficiently free from
professional ties to attribute this bet
torment Of conditions not to medical
science, but to the increased use of
soap and water. Many medical author
tiles hold the opinion that with clean
house and clean person no one need
have much fear Of infection. A writer
in the New York Medical Record says:
Soap is now recognized to be anti
septic and to be eficacious must pro-
duce lather. Bacteria rubbed into
soap or dropped on its surface are in
capable Of multiplication. The typhoid
bacillus is very sensitive to soap, being
killed by per cent solution in a
short time More than half the total
number will die in q minute. The
thorough use Of pure potash soap is
not only mechanical method Of cleans
ing, but is an active favor in cutting
down germ life. Exchange.

Buying of the growing tobacco crop
continues undated and at steadily
mounting prices. Twenty-Five cents
a pound and bonus is the last figure
we have heard quoted for choice crops.
The Eisenlohr Co. seems to have been
the aggressor in the campaign and
have pushed the prices up until they
have secured large acreage. 1t now
looks as if the entire crop will be
picked up before buying ceases. The
crop has been doing well until the tor
rid wave struck us and the heat may
have driven some fields to top prema-

Deafnesscannot be cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
