by which it was scientifically demon

indefinite period. He said he ran one
antelope forty miles an hour for TWEEN

been chased so long by anything.
When he examined the animal it was
not winded in the least.

Why Peter Didn't Worry.

There's nothing in the world like knowledge
All through life you'u hnd this true.
! Twill save yoa worry. pain and sorrow,
Helping in what e'er you do.
There is nothing like knowledge. No,
sir, there is nothing like knowledge
This is especially true in times of dan
ger. The one who knows most about
his surroundings will know best what
to do. He will be least likely to make
a mistake.
Peter Rabbit had used that old
BRAN e-tangle on the edge of the
Green Forest so much that he knew
every inch of it, and he knew all
about every tree and bush and stump
and old log near it. He had made it
his business to know all about these
things. for he knew that the time
might come when he would be in a
tight place and his knowledge of his
surroundings would be the only thing
which could save him.
Just about five good jumps from the
old brandt -tangle lay fallen tree.

HOLLOW TRUNK.
the trunk of which was hollow 1t
was open at the end toward the old
bramble- -tangle In fact, it was open
at both ends though comparatively
few know this. for one end was buried
under a great pile of brush.
Peter waited until Reddy Fox was
so close that 1t wasn't safe to wait
any longer. Then Peter darted out OF
the old bramble -tangle and headed
straight for that hollow tree trunh.
You may be sure that timid little Mrs.
Better was right at Peters heels. In
fact she was SO close that the hair
of Peters funny little white tail
tickled her nose.
The instant Peter and Mrs. Peter
left the bramble-tangle Reddy Fox
barked sharply. That was signal to
big stump not far away. Mrs. Reddy
didn't need that signal. OF course. not.
She had been peeping around that
stump and watching Peter and Mrs.
Peter from the time they had first
appeared at the edge of the old bram-
ble-tangle. Now that hollow tree
trunk lay close by that old stump be-
hind which Mrs. Reddy was hiding.
When Peter and Mrs. Peter hoped
out from the bramble-tangle and
headed for that hollow tree trunk
they looked as IL they were going to
pass the old stump. and Mrs. Reddy
chuckled inside and prepared to spring
out and catch them as they passed.

the end of that hollow tree trunk.
Mrs. Reddy at once sprang out from
her hiding place and rushed over to
the end of the hollow tree trunk. The
opening was big enough for her to get
her head in, but then it became
smaller. She could hear Peter and
Mrs. Peter scrambling along through
that hollow trunk. Then, in a minute
or two, all was still. Mrs. Reddy
turned her head and cooked sharp
pointed black little ear to listen.
There wasn't the tiniest sound from
inside that hollow trunk. She knew
Peter and Mrs. Peter must be in there,

Film-the Chief Enemy

Film is that viscous coat which you feel
with your tongue. 1t clings to teeth,
enters creviees and stays. The tooth
brush does not end it. The ordinary
tooth paste does not dissolve it. So much
remains to cloud the teeth and it may do
a ceaseless damage.
Film is what discolors not the teeth.
It is the basis of tartar. 1t holds food
substance which ferments and forms acid.
It holds the acid in contact with the teeth
to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They.
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Thus well-brushed teeth, as mil
lions know, discolor and decay. And
serious tooth diseases are alarming in ex-
tent.
Science Now Combats 1t
These facts have long been known
Dental science long has sought way to
daily fight film. But the only way seemed
periodic dental cleaning to remove the
film and tartar.

Make This Simple Test

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the di-
gestant Of albumin. The film is albu-
1ninous matter. The object of Pepsodent
is to dissolve it, then to day by day COM
bat it.
This method long seemed impossible.
Pepsin must be activated, and the usual
agent is an acid harmful to the teeth.
But harmless activating method has
been found. Years of tests have proved
that. So now this active pepsin can be
every day applied.

an important one it is. The success
or failure of the crop may turn upon
the kind of seed used. There seems to
be no uniformity among the farmers
as to kind and strain grown. Many
men, many minds, different farms
and farmers demand different seed.
Matters little perhaps rs to the
strain used provided it will mature
here and is pure bred There is no ex.
cusc on earth for using scrub seed
or scrub sires of any kind. Some
farmers seem to think that corn
just so it is sound and good size, is
all right for planting, who wouldn't
sanction the same kind of reasoning
in stock breeding?
Boone County corn did we'll lere

not so well. MIR. J. c. Buston sent

I'd as ever grown here or any where
else. II is almost if not eniir-y per-
feet as to soundncss, hardness and
maturity. A number of farmers who
c;amincd the fine specimens sent
here by Mr.. Wtten from his farm in
Albcrn.arlc county, said that the
Boone county does not mature here,
on account Of our short season. Mr..
Duston maturcd n fine crop last year.
1t is understood, we believe, that his
1918 crop of Boone County, was not
so good.
If planted on good, rich land about
April 18TH and phosphoric acid used
freely, there seems to be no good
reason why good crop should not be
made, particularly if seed can be
gotten from Mr.. Buston, COIN well
acclimated.
The idea has been advanced that
this, and other late maturing varie-
ties, will mature later, instead of
earlier, every year. or course, this is
y mistaken notion.
The plan to adopt and the seed to
select, is that which is best suited to
the land and conditions. If your seed
is not good-"run out" all mixed up,

grows fine corn, or order from seed
