BARBERS PLEASED
AT SUNDAY CLOSING
Big Majority in this City Had
Signed the Petition to
Urge Its Passage.
HOTELS ARE HARDEST HIT
Omaha iourneymen barbers and
shop proprietors! are strong in their
support of the Bennett bill to close
barber shops on Sunday in Nebraska.
The barbers are particularly inter
ested in the measure, which was
passed by the house in the state leg
islature on Tuesday by an unanimous
vote of -il representatives at the
session.
The local union of journeymen
barbers, represented by Secretary
John Decker, worked hard for the
passage of the measure, which will
go into effect on July 1, assuming
that it wilt, be signed by the gov
ernor. Mr. Decker made this statement: "I
secured the signature of 115 of 135
barber shop proprietors in Greater
Omaha on a petition urging passage
of the bill. I feet confident in stat
ing that between 90 and 95 per cent
of the barbers of the state favor the
Sunday closing of their business.
There are 400 barbers in Greater
Omaha."
Harry Miller, proprietor of a local
shop, said he believed more than 80
per cent of the bosses favor the bill.
The chief opposition in Omaha was
from proprietors of shops in large
hotels.
The bill makes an exception for
"cases of necessity" on Sunday, ex
plained by Mr. Decker to mean that
if a man is confined to his room or
in a hospital he may send for a
barber.
"We have been fighting for fifteen
years for a Sunday closing taw and
now we feel we have won the fight,"
added the secretary of the local union.

the Motor Wise
EACH year you will find the motor-wise
watching the achievement of some one
manufacturer with keen interest because
he has furnished them with a new conception of
motor construction a new value.
This Year It Is the Briscoe.
The much-talked-of Half-Million-Dollar Mo
tor has furnished them, at a low price, the quali
ties which they sought. A motor designed for
speed and low fuel consumption one which per
forms powerfully, smoothly and rhythmically in
high or low speed. No car will run further on a
gallon of gasoline than the Briscoe.
But with all the attention given to the motor,
the body lines and finish have not been overlook
ed. Its appearance is snappy and rakish. With
long, straight streamline, high sides and wide
doors, it offers an appearance not found in cars
under one thousand dollars.

Trucks that paid for
themselves in 14 months
Every Pierce-Arrow Motor Truck sold helps
us sell another, and every Pierce-Arrow truck
bought helps the owner buy more.
Practically all the big Pierce-Arrow fleets
in service have grown up slowly from small
installations of one or two trucks. These
Pierce-Arrow trucks have done much more
than pay their way. Many of them have not
only paid for themselves, but by surplus earn
ings have helped pay for more Pierce-Arrows.

It Will Open Your Eyes -Will Show
How You Have Been, Unintentionally of
Course. Working Great Havoc in Your
Mouth How to Avoid Injuring Your
Teeth and Gums.
Put into a small bottle a brushful of tooth powder, paste or cream.
Add a little warm water, shake well, let stand a few minutes. Then
note the sediment at bottom of bottle. That sediment is insoluble grit.
If that grit won't dissolve in the bottle it won't dissolve in your
mouth! Minute, hard, sharp particles get into pyorrhea pockets,
under the gums at the necks of the teeth, and remain there. What hap
pens? Irritation, inflammation, with more or less serious consequences.
This, in fact, is one of the chief factors that keep up the irritation of
pyorrhea, which is responsible for the loss of millions of teeth every
year. The injured gum tissues provide lodging places for the pyorrhea
parasite the "ameba buccalis" and these para
sites continue the work ot destroying tne gums and
the bone which holds the teeth.
Your dentist will verify these statements. He
knows the damage done by dentifrices containing
insoluble grits. He also knows that to keep the
teeth perfectly clean and free from stains, some
abrasive or grit is really necessary. What, then, are
you to do?
Soluble Avatol
Has Solved This Problem!
The grit in Soluble Avatol, after doing its work,
dissolves! It completely disappears one minute after
coming in contact with the saliva, leaving no irri
tant material behind.
You can easily prove this by the same test above
mentioned. You will see the grit dissolve no
sediment will remain at the, bottom of the bottle!
A soluble tooth cream is a brand new thing.
The introduction of this product marks an impor
tant step forward in dental hygiene.
It may truthfully be said that Soluble Avatol is
the only safe, effective tooth cleanser in the market.
There is nothing better to keep the teeth antisep
tically clean, spotless, sparkling and absolutely no
harm can result from its daily use.. It is germicidal
and a pyorrhea preventive. Yet it costs no more
than ordinary dentifrices.
SOLUBLE AVATOL sells at 25 cents per tube.
Your druggist has it, or will get it for you. Buy a
tube today test its cleansing power prove its
solubility and you'll never brusn your teeth with
anything else.
