|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.

WORTHLESS DOG
KILLING IS ON
i
State Saves Money Because of
Destruction of Unlicensed
Animals in 1916
Enforcement of the law requiring
killing of unlicensed dogs lias result
ed in the state of Pennsylvania sav
ing many sheep*' and the counties
escaping payment of heavy damages,
according to a statement issued by
the State Department of Agriculture.
In 1916 there were 3."23 sheep kill
ed and 2.591 injured by dogs, against
5,80S killed and 4.761 injured in 1915.
Damages paid by the counties last
y>ar amounted to $49,410.54. against
553.969.1t in the previous year, the
higher price for sheep causing the
average to ran up. In 1916 the aver
age price paid by counties for each
sheep killed by dogs was $5.23.
against $6.70 the year before. 'Wash
ington county suffered the greatest
damage to its sheep.
year there were 16,651 unreg
istered dogs killed, against 3.35t in
1915; 266.016 assessed, against 263,511
the previous year; $197,395.98 collect
ed in dog-tax as compared with $135,-
275.70 In 1915,
Allegheny county lias the largest
number of dogs assessed with a total
of 12,392, but collected only 50.292.10
in dog taxes, according to the County
Commissioners' report, while West
moreland county, with 11,551 dogs as
sessed and with the same dog license
rate collected $12,845.00 in taxes. The
Westmoreland county officials enforc
ed the act to the extent that 3,752
dogs were killed and there was a
considerable reduction in the number
of sheep killed in injured. Washing
ton county had T.T55 dogs assessed
and collected $12,421.50 in dog license
tax and had 3.500 dogs killed, while
Delaware had 1.458 dogs killed.
The reports show that the sheep

from the ravages of dogs with 432
sheep killed and 363 injured. In
Tioga county there were 316 sheep
killed and 174 injured; In Greene 296
sheep killed and 37S injured: in Mer
cer 173 sheep killed and 342 injured:
in Bradford 177 sheep killed and 124
injured, and in Bedford 139 sheep
killed and 12 4 injured. There were
only eleven counties in which dam
age done by dogs was" not paid for
by the county authorities. 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

the payment of damages for horses,
cows and other livestock bitten by
mad dogs.

Greene, $3,711.70: Beaver, $1,400.68,
and Delaware, $3,258.76.
The general license fee In a ma
jority of counties is one dollar for
male dogs and two dollars for fe
males. but this fee ranged from fif
teen cents for males in Snyder coun
ty, twenty cents in Perry, to two dol
lars in Mercer and Green counties.
For female dogs the license fee
ranged from twenty-five cents in
Cumberland and Columbia counties to
four dollars in Mercer, Greene and
Somerset counties.
In many of the counties the 1915

are to be rigidly enforced by the
state authorities this year and al
ready much activity has been exerted.

Paul I). Edingcr, Cumberland
County Agent, Plans Exten
sive Operations
I Carlisle. Pa., May 7.—To-day the
Cumberland County Farm Bureau got
down to active work with the formal
taking charge of the agricultural sit
uation by Paul I>. Edingcr, the new
farm agent. Mr. Edinger arrived hero
on Friday, met with the board or di
rectors Saturday afternoon and out
lined a plan of activity which will' bo
carried out during the coming weeks.
Tils headquarters will be in the
Chamber of Commerce (,ftlees here.
Tin- new agent has made a favor
able impression. He is a native of
Berks county, a graduate of the
KuUtown Normal school, and will re
ceive a degree of Bachelor In Agron
omy from State College In June of
this year, he having completed the
prescribed course of work.
The first efforts of the new agent
will be turned to aiding In every
way tile production of larger amounts
of foodstuffs to avert the threatened
shortage. Working from Carlisle, he
expects to visit all sections, giving
lectures and personal advice to all
who desire such, as well as outlining
a general plan and distributing in
formation.
He will co-operate with the Cum
berland County Defense body. The
main question now before this organ
ization is coping with the flood of ap
plications from schoolboys in all sec
tions of the county and especially In
Carlisle, who desire to aid on farms.
More than 100 applications more than
there have yet been calls for have
been received and an effort will be
made lo educate the farmers to the
need of calling for these boys In or
der that no possible effort will be
passed by that will aid in food pro
duction.
