Educational Tooth Talk-6
THE HABIT OF A CLEAN MOUTH

Many a child is backward in
school or disobedient. This condi-
ton has often been scientifically
traced to decaying teeth. After the
teeth had been corrected the child
at once improved and many times
has outstripped his classmates. Is
it not a serious thing to neglect
your child's teeth at this formative
period of his life? The difference
between care and neglect may meas
ure the difference between a brilliant
pupil and dullard, between sue
cess and a failure in after life.
Teach your child the 'habit OF a
clean mouth"

Well And Happy

When She Began Taking
TanIac.

81 have taken only two bottles of
Tanlac, but it is just wonderful how

Louisville, KY, while recently telling
a Tanlac representative of her re-
covery after taking the medicine.

condition." Mrs. Grimes continued,
"and | had been that way for SIX
months before I started taking Tan

my homework and / honestly be-
lieve my little six-year- old boy was
stronger than / was. My appetite
was poor and what I ate seemed to
do more harm than good. Nearly all

I would give completely out. / was
troubled a great deal with constipa-

every few days. I hardly knew
what it was to get good nights

"a friend of my husbands told
him about Tanlac and one night he
brought me some home. And now
/ am happy to say that things are
entirely different and life is again
worth living. My appetite is just
fine and although I eat three good
meals every day 1 still feel hungry.
Everything eat agrees with me and
is fast giving me back my lost
strength and energy. The pain in
my side has disappeared and | am
no longer troubled with constipa-
ton. For the first time in six
months | know what it is to get a

for it ALL"

COLLAR AND SADDLE
CALLS CAN BE AVOIDED

At this time of year troublesome
conditions arise for horses and
mules in skin wounds and collar or
saddle gals caused by the harness
or saddle that does not set well,
from uneven pressure, from pulling
of short chain, from uneven places
on inside of harness or saddle, from
sweating or the accumulation oil Sc
baceous material under the collar,
from not properly cleaning the ami
NAL before and after hitching and
from long hard work for a horse be-
fore it is hardened. All of these
causes can be eliminated and the
evils avoided.
If there is any tendency for the
animal to have sore shoulders it
would be well to battle the parts oc-
casionally with camphor. In case
sores do develop they should have
thorough and careful treatment. Alb
rasions of the skin should be bath
ed with water and then boric acid
lusting powder, applied or satura-
ted solution of copper sulphate gent
ly applied. The wound as a rule
will heal very quickly if the animal
is not used and if is necessary TO
work the horse the affected area
should be protected but the sur

"C0x, THE UNBEATABLE"

To the Editor of the Courier-Jour-
nal:
Write it Cox, the Unbeatable!
He is a journalist and that means
good deal. The lawyer is con-
troversialist, logician, a master of
doctrines, theories, equities. The
doctor is a healer, and more or less
a specialist. The journalist is an
all around man of affairs.
That is what we require in a
President of the United States.
1t will not be denied that Wood
row Wilson is highly qualified man.
The record of his administration
will read well in history. IL l wish
ed to be critical I should say that he
is too much the doctrine, too much
the humanitarian, too much the
phrase-maker.
Cox is not of this kind. He is a
man among men. He has shown
himself ever a practical man, a man
of sense and judgment-who as the
saying puts it, ''has studied the
cue papers" and ascertained the diff
ference betwixt hawk and buzzard
In a word, he does things.
We want, we need, that sort OF
man in the White House.
Now comes the chance for the
Democrats Of Kentucky to get to-
gether, to wipe out the old scores
and, with long pull, a strong pull
and pull all together to line up once
more on the Resolution Of 1913 and
fifty four orty-or-fght.
