the crime, since he confessed
and pleaded guilty at the time 'of

Warren's plea of guilty and

life and he was sentenced to

set of teeth down that Ran

that he could never coax another
old man to have a set of false

: The editor can give four ad
dresses of persons using . false
teeth who insist that they are a
perfect success. The G.-T. edi
torial was written at the sugges

who long - went without teeth and
finally got the store kind. to his
intense satisfaction. The writer
was associated in business with
this man for seven year's, and
one of his frequent requests was
that ' the old people, with faces
full of snags that fail to hit be
urged to go to a dentist. The
Writer's step-mother has used
store teeth twenty years without
dimculty. . The above article
read in this office this morning
brought forth this statement
from a young lady: "Tell him
