Practically the Only Cause of Tooth Decay is “Acid Mouth” -MADE AT KEY WEST#— Why Not Have a Parcels-Post ? But most important of all is the fail- ure to connect the consumer with the producer by a cheap parcels-post be- cause of our wholly unscientific system of distribution of the products of the soil and factory. * The only cheap transportation to-day isin bulk, This puts it out of the power of the consumer to secure his food sup- plies in any way except through com- binations formed for the purpose of squeezing the last cent from those com- pelled to buy. The consumer and the little store- Keeper are completely at the mercy of these combinations. As a consequence milk that on the farm fifty miles from New York sells for 344 cents per quart is given out by the combination, with part of the cream removed, for 9 cents in New York. A cent a pound rate would break these combinations in a month. Every man would have it in his power to get into direct touch with the producer, who must now let his fruit and vege- tables rot on the ground or accept the est rates of the combinations.

They said lots of good things about them, but in the morning be found each cigar on the snow by the front gate. “Thave found no ‘ Cortez Cigars’ on the snow. “Yours sincerely, “E,W. Nye (Birt Nye).’* From MARK TWAIN “The story as told by Bill Nye is true.

Peebles, AM., M.D., Ph.D. Only an acid or an accident can break the enamel of the teeth. Dentists agree that the bacteria of decay would have no effect on the hard enamel without the aid of a mouth-acid to first penetrate this hard outer coating of the tooth. Therefore, overcome this acid tendency which exists in the mouths of nearly 95% of humanity, and decay is posi- tively prevented.
