Pocket Boxes of 12 ud ioo c double-service |t tooth paste, L keeps teeth clean AND GUMS HEALTHY. Keeping the gums healthy and the mouth sweet is very important to health; more teeth are lost through the loosening of the tissue that hoids the teeth in place than from decay. Dental science to-day demands that a tooth paste must keep the gums healthy as well as clean the teeth. Senreco was formulated to meet this requirement. Hundreds of den tists are prescribing and using Senreco because they have found that it does measure up to that standard. SENRECO IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. In addition to its remedial properties Senreco is a wonderful cleanser; acts directly on the mucin film, the basis of tartar; leaves the mouth cool and clean-feeling. As some one has expressed it—Senreco gives one a new idea on mouth cleanliness. Get a tube to-day at your druggists or toilet counter—enjoy the healthy, cleanly feeling its use gives your mouth and gums. Notice how brilliantly white Senreco makes your teeth. It performs this two-fold service for you and yet costs no more than the ordinary, old-fashioned tooth paste that simply cleans the teeth and leaves a pleasant taste—2s cents for a large I ounce tube.

In sev eral counties the amount of dog-tax collected did not meet tiie expenses required for paying damages. Bucks county paid the highest average price of sheep killed at J15.62. and $13.12 for sheep injured. In addition to the $49,410.54 paid for sheep killed and injured by dogs the various counties paid out an additional $3,336.50 for the payment of damages for horses, cows and other livestock bitten by mad dogs. Some of the license fees received from the dog-taix were: Westmore land. $12,845.00; Washington. $12,- 421.50: Montgomery. $8,458.00; Mercer, $8,056.00; Indiana. $5,580.00; Greene, $5,142.00; Erie. $5,041.17: Delaware, $7,693.45; Cambria, $5,864.04, and Al legheny, $5,292.10.
