In the medical profession and Its al lied vocation, the question of bearda and coiffures la taking on Importance. It so happens In Chicago that some of the) most eminent men in the medical pro Ituiun wear complete seta of whiskers. They admit the force of the argument that whiskers provide a lovely nesting place for disease-carry!'1 Iferma. but tae habit of years b not easily broken, and. besides, physicians, like others, have re. Itard for that which they think most bo-,-ome. them In look. Due to the Main pie set by these famous disclplea ri Aesculapius, the antl-whlsker crusade mon( doctor, suffere a aerioua handi cap in Chicago, but the cause manifest ly Is making progress. Many physicians have reduced their facial decorations from full beards to tubby mustaches and scores of others have gone the limit, using the rasor dally on every spot where a whisker put up Its head. The very young doctors those just out of medical,. chool. and strutting for 'tho.d-wear beards against their will.. They think whla-c-er give an Impression of mature yeaa and help to win the confidence of the clientele and to attract new patients. . n the q".et. they declare that a- soon as they are firmly established In prac tice and can depend on prestige to neu ,r.h" thel? boyish looks, off will come te beards.

Springfield Is so located that with very few eaceptlons the leglslatora are able to a-et to their home, to remain over Sundays. That means they make the round trip every we uuims session. This practice has been fol lowed for many years, wherefore the reluctance to give up the privilege of riding free. Some members believe that instead of a law prohibiting paaaea to legislators there should be a statute iii v. i.rplhntlAn limiting cuniprum - - It to members during the sessions. They say such a law wmna remove J v-u for prejudice In favor of tola or that transportation line. Objection to thla plan, from the atate viewpoint. Is that It will tend to per petuate the habit of working only three full days a week In Spring-field. That habit cauaea long aesslons and Involves heavy expense for the pay ment of legislative attaches. On the other hand it la argued that the state cannot hope to get high-class men to spend all of four or five monthe at Springfield away from their business for the salary paid. When the City Council last week passed an ordinance limiting the height of buildings to 200 feet and designated September 1 as the date on which it should go Into effect, that body provid ed the motive for what will doubtless prove to be a year of frenzied buiidins;.

A few week, ago the structural Iron workers began erecting the big or namental lamp posts which line the street about the new Chicago North western paasenger station. The posts were o heavy that a derrick was re quired to lift them upon their pedes tals. They are hollow and two electric wires run up through the Inside, j' 0.1 Caii-- Controversy. Although the posts are about IS feet h.gh and weigh half a ton or more, the electrical workers met In solemn conference and decided the posts were electrical fixtures. They Informed the railroad management that they must have the work or they would be obliged to strike. One post had been hoisted on Its pedestal. This ws lowered to the sidewalk. It lay there tlx we" during whlca the question of Jurisdic tion was threshed out pro and con. White the specifications of an article which constitute It an electrical fix ture were not definitely drawn. It was .greed Cnally that the structural iron workers should erect the posts.

Barclay commands the attention of 200,000 American read ers, an Interesting human problem is presented for consideration. Florence U Barclay has achieved what all the wiseacres said was an Impossibility, by writing "The Rosary," a novel deal ing with cultured English society, which ha. had an enormous sale among countless people on your .Ids to whom England Is only a name, or a field for a holiday .camper. Another curi ous point Is that the manuscript of this novel was first offered to an Amer ican house, a remarkable departure from the course pursued hy English novelists In general. "The Kosary," It may be remembered, tells the sweet love story of Garth Ialmaln and Jane Champion, opening In the pleasure grounds of the Duchess of Mcldrum. How Garth wooed end won the lovely woman of character with whom he fell In love is told gracefully and graciously, the setting of the theme Itself presenting a pretty picture of the life of the English leis- ..aa a a aa...

Such purely English customs as afternoon tea are described, too, with a fidelity and viv acity which would make any ordinary American woman long to Join the happy throng of guests under the trees with the Duchess of Meldrura In Overdene Park. And It wae with such pleasant social enlightenments as this picture affords, that a little of the secret of this novel's American popularity re sides. Speaking of her impressions of Amer icans, Mrs. Barclay said she was struck by two Important traits "their com plete freedom from self-consciousness, giving them a mind at liberty to take an Immediate and enthusiastic Inter est In a- new acquaintance, and their consistent kindness of thought and speech about others." "I scarcely ever heard an American woman make an unkind or quissical remark about an other," she said. "Always with me In the United States was the feeling that Americans are not only anxious to like new friends, but are looking for the best in them, aa well. Their complete lack of shyness and reserve Is both refreshing and expanding to the Eng lish mind." After affording some proofs of per sonal kindnesses she had received from Americans, Mrs. Barclay began to talk about the future of American wo manhood, and at my request sends this personal message to the women of America: , ... i . "Do noe'outgrow your Ideals. Let there always be something higher, bet ter, nobler, to which yo reach up and out. and on. "Seek the best, and be content with nothing less. Whether in life or love, in strenuous work or gaiety and laugh ter, always in all things aim at the best "And above all else, obey the In spired command.

Sometimes it Is called1!? rareet virtue. Perhaps It is the most satisfying. Happily, in the dealings between man and man, and especially between class and class, it seems to grow. Truth, like the "Tortoise, is a slow traveler. But It gets there Just the same. It haa not been our policy to cheapen dentistry. On the contrary, our best endeavors have been to Increase the quality, which would necessarily Increase the cost of our -work. The scarcity of every commodity enhances Its value. Most people who. have nad much dental work done know that quality Class A In dentistry Is a scarce article. We have always one on the theory that In every community there arc enough people who appreci ate that the best is the cheapest in the end in' everything, particularly so in dentistry, to keep us busy. Our Alveolar' teeth are the most beautiful and natural-looking teeth Imaginable. They cannot be told from nature's product.

We will gladly refer you to as many a you care to see. The Cut Rate Dentist There are two kinds of dentists those who desire to give, and those who wish to get. When 61 per cent of all dentists desire to give tjtopla will be here. When you are offered dentistry at cut-rate prices, "beware." Dentistry, like doctorlstry. if worth having, com mands a price. The top notchers do not have bargain days. They depend upon that claps who know that if you get anything good you've got to pay for It. THE ALVEOLAR METHOD of re storing missing teeth calls for expert service from beginning to end. Dentists who come to us seeking em ployment attracted by the high wages we pay complain that our demands are unnecessarily severe. One man said. I'm no jeweler.' But we told him he must be as clever a craftsman as any jeweler and be a good mechanic as well. And more than that, we Insist that he be gentle, kind; kind, patient and also sympathetic and then KIND. The keynote Is KINDNESS in thin office. "Work with a swift, eure, gentle touch," we tell them, and "cultivate tne gentle art of painlessness." The result of all this careful atten tion to detail has started an endless chain of friends and relatives of pa tients in our direction, who are tired of being tortured by dentists who be liovr a little natn i srood for people.
