2% million pounds for this year—a
gain of a million pounds over last,
year. Who can doubt that the prizes
procured and offered by the Gharaber
of Commerce have contributed very
materially to the succe.ss of oar to
bacco market during: this year?
But there are other things' yet to
be credited to this organization. Our
Chamber of Commerce has taken a
very prominent part in the recent
freight rate war that has so agitated
the peopie of North Carolina. This
organization was represented by a
committee at Raleigh that did most
efficient work in achieving the great
victcr>' for lower freight rates in this
State, which is now crystalizing into
statute iaw that all alike must obey.
Burlington has long felt the need
for a better postoffice building, and
the fact that a bill has been passed
by Congress providing for $65,000 to
be used in the erection of an elegant
postofBce building in this city is it
self splendid tribute to the efforts of
the Burlington Chamber of Commerce
and those who have co-operated with
this organization in bringing this mat-
many, which shows that the Burling-
their hands upon the purse strings
of the nation.
I will not say that the Buirlington
Cbamber of Commerce caused our
National Congreas to pass the Parcel
Post Law; nor will I say that our
National Congress would have pa.'ised
the Poreel Post law if our Chamber
of Connnerce had not asked them to
to 39. But I will say that oixr Cham"
bar of Conisierce was consulted about
the matter, and the law in now in fall

Neglect the temporary teeth means
crooked and rapidly decnyine perm
anent teeth. Sound teeth properly
used result in good health. You can
save money by looking after your
teeth closely. An hour in the denta!
chair when your teeth are just be
ginning to decay will save a much
longer visit to the dentist a year lat
er. Had you thought of that? WTiat
are you going to do abciit it?
“Proper care cf the Mouth anu
Teeth,” is one of the most important
of all the. measures that are taken
for the protection of the human body
says Dr. W. O. Owen, U. S. Array
Surgeon. He furthermore states that
“a failure to give them the proper
care is the direct cause of more dis
ease in the human family than any
other single cause.”
A filthy mouth full of decaying
teeth and sore diseased gams is not
only offensive and disgusting even to
people of very little refinement, but
such a polluted mouth greatly in
creases the chances of catching con
tagious and infectious diseases.
Decaying teeth do not permit of
perrect mastication. Impel feet mas
tication is the open door to mal-nu-
trltion; and nial-nutrition is one of
the greatest factors in all diseases.
This statement is backed by the best
medical authorities. People should
have their teeth examined every four
months. Ninety per cent, of the pop
ulation have cavities beginnig to form
in their teeth that they know nothing
of.
