There's a tendency on the part of Home Robber Goods manufactur­ ers to gee how littJe pure gnui rubber they can use in their goods and still have them called rubber. The demand for cheaper goods has brought on this condition, but as such goods do not wear, peo­ ple are beginning to call for something better, and we are prepared to supply it. Such goods as we are1 gelling are decidedly cheaper in the long run because they wear years to the inferior goods' months. When you waht family rubber goods come here first and see what. the real thing is like, and also what real values are at Petesch's Drug Store, flcHenry SaveYourTeeth Who can describe the misery of dyspepsia and shocking facial deform­ ity that results from bad teeth? My artificial teeth impart a graceful and pleading appearance to the features. They fit perfectly, cannot be detected from the natural teeth and give to the wearer that soothing, restful comfort that nothing else can. Do not delay but have your teeth attended to before they are too far gone. My prices are exceptionally reasonable; no higher than you would pay for inferior dental work. You cannot make a better investment. Be good to your teeth and yonr teeth will be good to you. You pay for your dental work when It, satisfies you and not until then. * : ; DR. H. W.

We carry a nice line p| Try our Coffees at 25c, 30c and 35c per It* Maii-Ortler Buying. Mail-order buying builds up the large cities at the expense of the smaller cities and towns. Every dollar used in this way by a resident of this community takes,a dollar out of circulation at home and puts it into circulation many miles dis­ tant. The dollar spent with your home grocer, dry goods dealer, hardware mer­ chant, druggist or other business man, up-builds the community in which you live. These men pay taxes to support the town, repair the streets, maintain the schools and build and sustain the churches. Do the mail-order houses ever subscribe to the building fund whenever a church is to be built, or any public improvement is to be made? If yom= were active in any good work for the betterment of this community, who would you go to for financial aid, the local business men or the mail-order houses in distant cities? Let us look at the situation broadly. Is it not short­ sighted selfishness that prompts us to send our money and trade to the mail­ order houses? Enlightened self-interest, in which reciprocity is a saving element, dictates that we all work together for our common good, and the community a t large. Besides, the local dealers can keep in stock mail order grades in most lines of goods if you must have that grade of merchandise and can sell them to you at mail-order prices. In some instances the lower price quoted by the mail-order houses is the result of vio­ lated contracts and chicanery which have no place in an honest merchant's business. 8 Janesville Bakery.
