BRIDGE WORK
There are many kinds of bridgework, so many variations
to its application that it cannot be adequately described
herein, but an opportunity is requested to show you
some of its possibilities. Not only can you use bridge
work as well as you ever could your natural teeth, but
it assists in restoring contour to sunken pinched up,
wrinkled lips and cheeks, adding youth tone, expression
and vigor to the countenance, besides permitting perfect
mastication, thereby restoring nutrition to the dyspeptic or aged. The
work is painless, cost Moderate, in view of benefits conferred, lasts for
the remainder of your life, and is an investment in the personal assets
of appearance and the favorable effect produced on others, increased
comfort, health and vigor.

not expended last year for the purpose
it was appropriated. They insisted j
that every dollar voted for the exten-

ber urged that a clause should be in
sisted in the appropriation bill mak
ing it mandatory that every dollar
appropriated therein for rural delivery
"shall be expended." While there

argument, the House did not see fit
to Insert the desired words In the law

During the past twelve months
there have been but very few rural
routes established in any section of
the country. There were a less num

the past year than any like period

be more interesting to know that from
January 1 to July 1 of the present year
only three new rural routes were es

were authorized on March 1 to be ef-

or brick according to the detailed
plans accompanying these specifica

connected with the city sewer sys

pipe laid ou a regular grade with
cemented joints. Each basin will be
provided with a cast Iron shoulder
plate and grating complete as shown
on the plans. Catch basins or Inlets
will be paid for at the price per basin.

The routes referred to were es
tablished in the State of Virginia, as
follows: Route No. 2, out of Goodes,
Bedford county; Route No. 2, out of
Stone Mountain, Bedford county;
Route No. 2, out of Updike, Bedford
county.
This Is tho best evidence that the
Postofflce Department Is not extend
ing the . rural free delivery service.
Extension of it is at a dead standstill,
and this condition is likely to obtain
for several months while the consoli
dation plan Is under consideration.
Joseph Stewart, Second Assistant
Postmaster General, Is authority for'
the statement that in the considera-
tion of all petitions for rural free de-.
dlvery now being received, the De
partment will, in the future, Install a
star route service whenever It Is prac
ticable to do so, and in this way keep
down to the minimum the expenses
for the farmers' mail service. He ad
mitted, of course, that the star route
service could be installed at a much
cheaper rate than rural free delivery.
The Department records during the
past six or eight months also show
that star routes have been established
in large numbers, particularly in mid
dle western and far western States,
This Is still further evidence of the
Department's hostility to rural free
delivery extension and its favor to the
contract system for rural mail.
Already champions of rural free de
livery are coming to the front. Sena
tor Elmer J. Burkett, of Nebraska;
Senator Charles Curtis, of Kansas;
Congressman M. P. Kinkaid, of Ne-
hraska: Congressman T. W. Sims, of
Tennessee, and Congressman Victor
Murdock, of Kansas, have recently
indicated their support to defeat any
move toward placing rural free deliv
ery under the contract system.
Before leaving Washington a few
weeks ago, Senator Charles Curtis
authorized the statement to be made
In the R. F. D. News that he would
not only use his influence with the
Senate Committee on Postofflce and
Postroads against consideration of
such a plan, but that he would, upon
his return to the National Capital next
Fall, take the matter up personally
with President Taft and advise him
thoroughly.
