THE COST OF DENTAL WORK The cost of dentil work is often given as an excuse for neglect; but have you ever considered the work done by your teeth and the relative cost of denistry compared to food, dothjng, etc.? The teeth are our best friends, never vatued until lost. If you neglect them you cheat yourself. There Is no work that costs so little In pro portion to its imperative essentiality as good dental work. There Is none that can compare with it in effect upon good looks and good health. A better appreciation of conditions has made the public better understand the beneficent services rendered by dentistry In the prevent ative and protective work that it has done. Dr. L L.

He bad Just reach ed IbU announcement when Mrs. Dol by Kke again: "Samuel Ihilby, I leave thla house to night! I Just walled to tell you that your reprehensible ceudin t la knowur The deacon's Inner mind began to wonder what that reprehensible con duct waa and his outer to grasp the fact, na stated In the book, that steal ing a pig la not legally the an me aa stealing a bog. "Yin. it la known to me." said Mrs. Dolby. "During your alwem Mrs. Whitman culled. After she tuld me what her husband fold her I began packing up. I saw that 1 could not live with you another dny nud go to heaven when I died. I shall go to live with my alster. If yon get n patch on thMV overalls you will hnve to pin It on." During the deep. dark, dank silence that followed the clock missed two ticks and the teakettle ou the sieve uttered a mournful sigh. Mr. Dolby also read that throwing ashes ou an other man's bind wna trespass, the same as If you bad walked on It. "It happened uliout six weeks ngo." continued Mrs, Dolby as her tears enme and ahe used 'a corner of the shawl ou her eyes. "You bad lind a boll on your leg. It was getting well, and you felt ao good about It that you said you would lie a better man here after. You went downtown to get a can of tomntooa. You said they naked 12 cents a can. but ymt thought you could lieat 'em down to 'leven. You must retnemlKT. Samuel." Tarriad to So Caninos Scrap. Samuel did, but he dldu't give him self away. He sat there like a mau of stone and read Hint If a farmer put a live pound stone at the bottom of a ten pound crock of butter It was not arson, but false pretenses. lie was pretending that there were ten pounds of butter there when there weren't. "You had got the tomatoes for 'leven cents and wns coming home when you saw Silas Davis' dog pitch into Ren Steadmnn'a dog. Samuel, did you try to Hcpurate those dogs? Did you get between them and wave them away from ench other? Were you tilled with sorrow to see two brutes rending each other? Samuel, I must hnve au an swer." Itut she dldu't get one. Yes, the dea con retiieinliered that canine conflict. They were two big dogs, mul they put ap a bully scrap. He almost felt his mouth water when he harked back to that night. "No, you didn't." sobbed Mrs. Dol by. "Some meu came runulng to part them, and Instead of assisting you cried out: " 'Stand back there and let 'em chaw each other! 1 will punch the head of the first man who Interferes.' Yes, that's what you said, and Mr. Whit man wns there and heard you. He snld you waved your arms and your eves looked bloodshot. Think of It. Samuel think of It! If you were a wife could you live with such a hus band as that?" The deacon thought of It and almost milled. Prettiest dog fight he ever saw well matched fr weight and both full of grit. He'd give SO cents to see It over again. And the book be fore him said that la call a mau a deadbeat because he dldu't pay his debts was libel. "And you hollered 'sick 'em' at one dog and stu boy' at the other, and you kept 'em fighting for fifteen min utes. And when Elder Griscom came along and reproved you you bristled right up to hjtn nud suld this was a free country and If dogs , wanted to fight they had the privilege. Samuel, can I live with such a man and keep my respect for hltu? I am weeping. aa you see, I am not weeping lie rauae I sin going away, but un n- count of yonr wickedness. I certnlnly Mpnet to hear within three months that yiiu'vn ln-cn hung for murder!" Conaoianot Novar Touohad Him, One of thn deacon's eyebrows twlM ed a very little bit, but as .Mrs. Dolby eyes were full of teara she didn't ol serve it. He wasn't a bit conscience; stricken. Hn rend right along that the owner of a cow laid himself lliihfc to the law If he cut her tnll, no matter If ahe awltrhcd It sixty llrnea a minute. "If you lind come home, Kniiiilel If you had t-ome home mul made excuses, but you didn't. You Jest atrolled In as placid as If yiu had Irf-i-n out hoe ing cabling!. You could hnve ex plained that one dog pitched Into the other without provocation mid tluit you didn't Interfere l-nuae you were afrnld of being bit, but you Just wound up the clock and said It wns time to go to Iad. That wna deception on top of crime. How do I know that you won't amili) on me and thi-n chop me up with the ax an hour later?" Samuel dldu't know hii.v way she could find out, and he didn't believe there was a cnae In xilnt In the hook before him. It did. however, state that striking a man with a pitchfork constituted a much graver crime than batting hltu with a long hnndleil shovel. Mrs. Dolby aohlied and wept. Her tears fell on her alpnea dress and on her satchel, and It waa several min utes before ahe rose up and snld: "Well. I must be going. Utile did I think when I tnarrli-d yon, twenty eight J curs ago. that tonight I'd have to leave my own bouse because yoa hnve' turned pirate. Do you want to say guodby to me?" Nothing from the deacon. Separation and Return. "Of course I shan't write to you." The deacon didn't fall off bis chair. "And If you come to me on your bended knees" , The Idea of bis knees bending work ed up a new emotion, and ahe leaned against, the door and sobbed. That waa fine rending the deacon bad, and he was deeply Interested. "It's night, and 1 have got this satchel to carry, but If I get afraid or tuckered out I can1 sleep beside aorae haystack." 'Uie deflcon never cracked a . smile. She oeiied the dimr. and he never moved. She went, but be paid no heed. Even when the door clos-d he took no notice. Mrs. Dolby went down the path and leaued on the gate and looked back at the house. No one came to the door to call her back. She put down the satch el and gave It a kkk. Her tears and sobs ceased. Had the deacon fainted away? Had he blown bis head off? She softly advanced to the dour and held ber ear to It. No sound. Then she opeui-d It and looked In. Then she entered the kitchen. Same deacon, aume attitude. "Samuel, I was thinking that If I went tonight you'd have to get yonr own breakfast and you wouldn't re meinlier how milch coffee to put In!" And she removed her shawl nnd bnt. put another stick of wood Into the stove and five minutes later was sing ing "The Old Oaken Bucket" and tak ing solid comfort A Knowing Kid. One afternoon there entered the shop of a Trenton butcher a small hoy, who gave this unusual order: "Gimme n pound o' steak-rump or round and let It be good nnd tough." Naturally the Jmtcber was amazed. "Why tough?" he asked. "Ef It's tender." explained the boy "de old mini will eat It all hlsself. but ef It's tough us kids will get a whack at !t."-Llpplncott's.

The most Important object Id drain ing a road Is to lower the level of the ground water. If this Is within a few feet of the surface It will be absorbed by the material of the road by capil lary attraction. The result of this would be a softening in the road im mediately below the surface. Wbeu heavy traffic passes over the road In this condition It so cuts It up that the water will not flow off.

Burmeister & Andfesen Oregon City Jewelers Suspension Bridge Corner ADVICE ON TAR MACADAM ROADS Suggestions For Constructing Highways ot This Material. ' MUCH DEPENDS ON LOCALITY. Highway Engineer 8houlo Be Con sulted and Given tha Data Bearing on tho Problem Topography of Country 'and' Traffic Should Bo Studied. As many Industrious members of various rural communities are anxious to receive Information as to what kind of tar macadam roads to build, an expert authority on road construction and maintenance gives the following valuable advice: The proer determination of what kind of tar macadam road to build in a given locality could ouly be mudo j by a competeut highway engineer iu possession of all the data bearing on the problem and preferably by an ex-1 imlnatloo on the ground. Leaving for the moment the matter of cost out of the question, the selec tion ot a suitable method' of construc tion and of materials best adapted thereto depends upoa so many factors that no choice is possible without thor ough study of the surrounding condi tions. This would Include a knowl edge of the location of the road, its grades, the topography of the country through which It runs, the climatic conditions and especially of the traffic to which it is subjected. A construction that would give satis factory results in one section of the country might be entirely unsutted to another section, and In the same man ner materials used successfully in a warm climate might fail In one where extreme cold prevailed during a part of the year. When, as Is almost always the case, low cost Is the controlling considera tion, still other factors are Introduced Into the problem, and still more data are required for its proper solution.
