"If these boys must be taken, said
he. "then there ought to be a labor pro

''In my stale the Indians would call
that much big talk." retorted Senator
McCumber. "but big talk Isn't going

"You can no more fix prices than you
moderate the warmth of th sun by

If the price were too low It stifled
production." he said, "while If it were
too high It bred speculation.
"The thing to do to win this war." he
continued. "Is to put more guns and

The curtailment, which has been
under consideration for- several weeks
by Gerril Fort, passenger traffic direc
tor for the Railroad Administration,
will be effective from the Mississippi
River to the Pacific Coast. In much of
this territory traffic is comparatively
light and by a reduction of the number
of trains Railroad Administration offi
cials believe they can save many mil
lions of dollars and still provide ample
facilities for all through travel to the
Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO, March J. Further
reduction of train service, ordered to
day by Director-General McAdoo, prob
ably will take the form of lengthening

much alike in this respect) that the things that COME EASY are
not valued nearly so much as those which COME HARD or ARE
UNATTAINABLE.' I have been asked times without number why
I continually advertise when my practice is now unquestionably the
largest in the state and my offices always busy.
I have had it insinuated that I Was selfish even avaricious
when I still made efforts to secure more patients. x
For the benefit of my legion of friends and patients who ask this
question in a spirit of friendship and equally for my critics, who
sneeringly inquire why I find it necessary to continue my advertising
. I wish to say:
I have my share of adversity I am intensely human I, like

not suffer by comparison with any like number of Dentists anywhere.
In other words, they would discover that I am giving the people
ALL that the High-Priced Dentists can give them and doing it for
less money.
