ter.
The liammer is usually swung by the arm of envy.
People who failed to recognize or make use of op
portunity are first to abuse those who "make good.
Criticism which Is tinged with malice always
comes from those BELOW. ' ,
The' really great admire the achievements of
others and are too busy profiting by them to waste time
and temper belittling the success of men who do things.
Much effective advertising has been given this

that the chagrin of the "knocker" is due to the fact that
I am offering tne public Dental Services worth while.
My perturbed friends should not blame me, but
rather blame themselves, if I have built up a practice
in a few years which is second to none in the State.
Instead of imitating, they should try to parallel or
excel my accomplishment there never was a man so
good but what there.was a better one.
Save your patients pain, save them time, save them
money give them better dentistry than they can

Good Rugs
Always Advisable
The pure and unquestionable quality of the
raw material that goes into the making of a
good rug is naturally the secret of its dur
ability and by this we do not mean just
"wear" because permanence of color and the
luster of surface depend upon good material
also. The cheap rug is never cheap when
these things are taken into consideration and
we are always obliged to return to the rug
of known quality.
Below are listed rugs of a quality that will measure
up to the highest standards in American rug making,
material, coloring, luster, wear and design, each in
turn considered.

is cooking better meals and in many instances food can
be prepared, placed in the cooker and left for half a day,
or even more. Just think what this means to the business 1
