Neglect Yourself and the
World Will Neglect You
GOOD TEETH ARE A PASSPORT IN
BUSINESS AND SOCIETY
A mouth filled with white, strong teeth is the most
striking feature of the face. Neglect your teeth and
you are sure to suffer physically and probably finan
cially. The day v. hen slovenly people succeed is past.
If your teeth ache or you notice a cavity in one of rour
teeth, have it attended to at once. - A stitch in time
saves nine. ......
Those missing teeth don't look well. If. you will
all at this office we will make a bridge for you that
will lo6k as well and chew your food as well as natural
teeth. This work is accomplished without plates and
is one of the greatest triumphs of modern dentistry.
When no sound" teeth remain, then we make plates
that fit perfectly.

W. E. Farrell Alleges In Suit That
Affairs of Concern Sow Defunct
Were Misrepresented
by President.
Fraud and highhanded methods In
dealing--with the affairs of the defunct
Hygienic Mattress Company are
charged against A. E. Davlg, foreman of
the grand Jury and member of the Mun
icipal league, In a suit filed In the Cir
cuit Court yesterday by "ft". E. Ferrell.
assignee of the insolvent mattress com
pany. H. H. McCarthy. G. E. Emery.
R. E. Norton and a Mr. Hendee are
made defendants with Davis, who waa
president of the company.
It Is charged that Davis secured the
appointment of A. E. Gebhart and J- C
Flanders on the board of trustees of the
company so he could control the board,
and for that purpose caused to be Issued
to Gebhart and Flanders $100 worth of
stock each, for which Davis paid. The
company tu formed In October, 1J04.
Ferrell In his suit charges that Davis
at the first meeting of the board,
"fraudulently and for the' purpose of
.aatlng UP the assets of the company,"
had a resolution - passed - giving the
president, who was Davis, a salary of
' $500 a month. Assignee Ferrell asserts
' that Davis' services were worth not
more than' $100 a month. , . .
' Contract Also. am Issue.
After Davis was elected president,
McCarthy was elected vice-president,
Norton secretary. These officials, with
J'ianders and Getohart. comprised the
board of directors. Fraud is charged
' again In the taking over of the contract
with the Oregon Pine Needle Fibre
' Company, a concern which had a fac
tory near La Grande. Oregon, to manu-
' facture oil, fibre, and insect powder.
McCarthy and M. TV. Bruner are eald
to have had a contract with the Pine
Needle Company to handle all Its output
'. for fiveTj-ears.
This contract -'was assigned ,to the
-, mattress company, it la alleged, on the
irepreeentation -that -'the mattress com
i pany had a fully, paid capital stock of
: 150.000, -which, would render It able to
;. handle the Pine Needle Company's out
I put. Ferrell asserts that the board of
I directors passed the resolution, author-
ixlng the acceptance of the contract for
. the "purpose of defrauding future cred-
ltors" of the mattress company.
Ferrell - asserts that no , more than
: $10,000' was paid in cash of the capital
1 stock, and that the representation that
: the $5d.o0 stock was fully paid was
false and fraudulent.. He charges that
the stock subscriptions were as follows;
'Emery $10,000. McCarthy. $10,000, Nor
ton $20,000, Davis $9800, Gebhart $100,
Tand Flanders $10J. . Ferrell'alleges that
Davis Is the only man "who paid In any
'money, paying $9800 for his own stock
and $200 for the stock issued to Geb
' hart and Flanders, the remalnder of the
stock being-given for. the . contract of
the Pine Needle Company, which Mc
Carthy. Norton and Emery are alleged
to- have controlled. . - y
Says Salary Is Overdraw!.
Davis Is accused of fraud also in rep
resenting in 1905 to Bradstreets that
the mattress company was worth $50,
000, thus holding; out a false standing
to the business world. Ferrell says
'ha sold out the assets of the mattress
company for $2014.' and that there are
now claims pending aggregating $10.-
9S. The largest of these Is alleged to
be Davis' claim for S6a3o salary. Davis,
it Is charged, received his salary for
four months. . making $2000 paid htm.
Kerr ell asserts that all Davis earned In
all the time he was president of the
company was $1533. so that he was
overdrawn US" on his salary.
Tne court la asked rb set aside the
$500 a month salary of-Davis, and hold
it void, and to order the directors to
contribute the $10,i0 necessary to sat
isfy the claims against the Insolvent
company. Since the organization, it is
allea-ed. Norton has assigned- $10,000
worth of stock to Davis, and McCarthy
assigned to Davis $5100 worth of his
stock, so that Da via owns $15,100 worth ,
of stock for which neither he nor any
one ele ever paid.

BERLIN, MAY 14, 1908
-
V 2!-.:
One of the most successful , American
"invasions" which has taken place in Ger
many in recent years is that engineered hy
Robert A. - Thompson, a Portland, Oregon,
boy and expert optician, who came herjj a
year ago to teach Germans whom Thack
eray called a "nation in spectacles" what
eyeglasses are and are not. Sir. Thompson
has been putting in a - busy twelvemonth
learning all Germany has to teach in his pro
fession, and has been called upon to deliver
lectures to students of both American and German nationality.
He has perfected a marvelous system of eye-testing which Ger
man experts declared a genuine "eye-opener.."... Previous to
coming to Berlin, Mr. Thompson won recognition in London
and Paris! Berlin Letter to The Oregonian.
Note After 17 years of experimenting, Mr. Thompson has perfected
a, system of sight testing that has astounded the greatest oculists of
E?urope. He has given practical demonstrations before 20J0 men of sci
ence In London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and St. ' Petersburg, ' and they
unanimously claim the "Thompson system" of sight testing the only
. system where a mistake In fitting glasses is impossible. All glasses
fitted by Mr. Thompson are guaranteed 6 months. During that time
should your vision improve (as Is generally the case after being
fitted by the "Thompson system") no charge will be made for the new -glasses
required. During the eight years that Mr. Thompson has been
practicing In Portland he has successfully fitted over 10,000 cases and
has on file at his Institution in the Corbett building hundreds of testi
monials from the best people of Oregon. No charge is made for expert
examination or advice, and perfect-fitting glasses can be had as low
as 1.B0. The "Thompson Optical Institute" is In suite- 209, . Corbett
building. Fifth and Morrison streets, this city. ' ' '
