Why "don't people go to the den tist as often and as early as they should. They lack time. They are afraid of pain. Sometimes they are afraid: of foul-play. Wage-earners especially, demand prompt : service.- .vvd- ; - y-. -- ' They can't afford to wait Ion?, tots of time " means loss of wages or salary to them. When they return from work most dental offices are closed. Bat a bis establishment remains open. - It has a lares staff of dentists who work fax shifts. . . . The problem of pain has been solved. r V.' The modern dentist can abolish sensibility without giving the patient "Gas," chloroform or ativthing else injurious. v Are dentists trascrnpulous? Do they wClfuHy injure the patient to keep him under their treatment? I am loath to be- lieve that men of our profession can indulge in such criminal practices. Bnt devils are everywhere. One thing, however, is certain. : A big dental establishment can't afford 0 do enscrapulout work. The good-will of the people, reputation for honest and . standard service, are the foundations of its success. Even devils become saints when organised for business and service. Organized dentistry gives standard, safe, prompt service. ... . - ....... - . ; It is rarely you will find science ana art combined with the gift of organization and administration. y I ; have succeeded in systematizing and or ganizing dentistry. - Under the E. R. Parker System the money cost and the human cost of dentistry have been reduced to the lowest point. Prompt standard, gentle, scientific dentistry has been . brought to the door of the- middle classes and the wage-earners. Painless Parker Dentist 323 Washington SL, Corner Sixth Senator Borah Is .

Just received from Paris. This studied, persistent effort at se crecy.' said Borah, "is an unmistakable admission that the Instrument as amend ed, will not bear discussion. ; Its pro ponents doubtless have in mind the effect of the 60 day debate upon the first draft which was supposed to be perfect ar 1 unassailable -when it came' forth." Borah served notice that when - the covenant comes into the senate no rules devised will be sufficient to enforce se crecy in regard to a matter; of such Vital and Immediate concern to the peo ple at large- The subject will be de feated ; "in the open.'. The new draft should no longer be held secret, Borah declared. If the people a- - to have time to read and understand it before President Wilson returns, pre sumably to address them on it. They have thus far been given nothing, Borah said, but an official interpretation of what the. amendments mean. -, "Who is more deeply concerned in tne exact - terms and provisions of this amended draft than the American' peo ple? asked Borah. fW are entitled to' it at once. We should then have a law providing for a vote of the people before we surrender the vital powers of this government to a tribunal controlled by foreign powers.'' ; . i ' BIG RECEPTION FOR TELEGRAPH BATTALION IS Unit Now at Camp Mtefcitt Is Expected to Be -Here, Inside Two or Three Weeks.1 Preparations are being started to have a big reception in honor of the 411th telegraph battalion which Is now at Camp Merrltt, N.

Neuralgia Is the cry of starved nerves for nourishment. How many men-and. women suffer excruciating pain because their blood is' not rich enough to give the nerves the elements that they need to keep them in health. Most treat ments of neuralgia are directed at re lieving the pain. The reason that neuralgia so often recurs is not because it is incurable but because these treatments fail to remove the cause. Build up the blood with the right tonic ttd as it-Increases in quantity and Improves in quality, the pain will gradually become less severe, color will return to the cheeks and lips and the appetite will improve, with a consequent gain in strength and flesh. Mrs. Nettie Evans, of No. 924 East 13th street, Kansas City, Mo., suffered from neuralgia for six years before she learned of the right tonic and re gained health, and strength. She says": "About six years ago, following the birth of my daughter, I began to have terrible pain across my temples" and se vere headaches. It seemed as though each attack was worse than the one be fore and many times I -was forced to go to bed for days. My nerves were com pletely unstrung and I became so nerv ous that. I" couldn't sleep welL.; Severe attacks of. pain seemed to take all my strength., and splitting headaches .lasted for days at a lime. My appetite was poor and I became ' discouraged and de pressed. . - ; ' '--. '.-' " n 'saw '-m- announcement of Dr. Wil liams" Pink Pills ".and- procured a box.
