THE HOPE PIONEER

The Sure Way to Test Roofing is on the Roof Some men think that they can tell good roofing by smelling it. Figure it out yourself. ̂ How is any man's nose going to tell him how long roofing will last and how much protection from storms, snows and rains it will give.

And protection and lasting qualities are what you pay money for.

, • /

The only sure way to test roofing is on the roof.

That is where Certain-teed Roofing has been tested by time—tested for wear-tested for shelter—all over the world. Certain-teed Roofing has never been known to wear out on the roof. It is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, ac­cording to weight.

Private Brands and Big Profits

Some dealers will try to sell you private brands of roofing, not because they are as good or better than Certain-teed, but because there is more dealer profit in them. Those profits come out of you. Dealers make a fair profit on Certain-teed, but they are limited to a fair profit because so many dealers handle it and

; everybody knows the price. Don't take a gambler's chance on an unknown brand. Buy for known value

. at a price which is fair to everyone. Any reliable dealer can get Certain-teed for you quickly from a nearby Certain-teed warehouse or jobber. He gets it when he wants it and he gets what he wants. He can afford to sell you at a fair price.

MEX TROOPS IN VICINITY State Department Requests Additional

Warship Protection at Points

on the East Cost of Mexico.

Washington.—The murder of two more Americans in Mexico, reported Monday to the state department, ac­centuated the concern with which offi­cials here are watching developments beyond the border. There was noth­ing, however, to indicate to what ex­tent the attitude of the Washington government toward the Sonora revo­lutionary movement might l)d affected by the fact that the Incidents occurred in Carranza-controlled territory.

Requests Warship Protection. Requests for additional warship pro­

tection at points on the east coast of Mexico already had been forwarded to the navy by the state department. While this had no reliftjon to the lat­est murders, it. was said to indicate the view of officials "as to the unset­tled conditions prevailing in that re­gion, nominally, at least, still held by Carranza forces.

The murder of Eben Francis Oreen law and his young son by Mexicans near El Oro, only 125 miles from Mex­ico City, brought from the American embassy in Mexico City an emphatic demand that the Mexican government arrest and punish the murderers. The American government contends that the Carranza authorities were respon­sible for the protection of the Green-laws because of the presence of Mexi­can troops in the vicinity.

Destroyers will be stationed at Tam-pico, Tnxpan, Vera Cm/, and Fron-teras, ready to take off Americans who may be in danger. The state de­partment specifically stated lhat these vessels were not to take any part in the struggle between factions in Mex­ico, but were asked for solely to pro­vide a haven in case of need.

be cured by sprays, inhalers, jellies and other local applications.

S. S. S. has proven a most satis­factory remedy for Catarrh be­cause it goes direct to its source, and tendB to remove the germs of the disease from the blood.

Store Cuts Prices.

One of New York's largest department, stores advertised In Monday's newspapers that it would attempt "to break the backbone of high prices" by offering its entire $20.-000.000 stock at a reduction of 20 per cent. The only motive in making this general reduction, said the advertise­ment, is "a conscientious sense of duty" made necessary by the reports of government investigators that ••rices are still on the upward turn.

Baby Specialists. fHAr there are Physicians who specialize on Infant ailments yon know. All

Physicians understand Infant troubles: all Physicians treat them. It is his profession, his duty, to know human ills from the Stork to the Great Beyond.

But in serious cases he calls in the Specialist. Why? He knows as every Mother knows, or ought to know, that Baby is just a baby, needing special treat­ment, special remedies.

Always remember that Baby is just a baby. And remembering this you will remember that Fletcher's Castoria is made especially for Infants and Children.
