Why Dentistry is Costly
They are
Chapter VI.
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.

323 Washington SL, Corner Sixth
Senator Borah Is
. Demanding Fight
' On Nation League
By X."CV Wartls -
Washington, April 23. (U. P.) Sen
ator Borah today charged a "studied,
persistent effort at secrecy. with re
spect to the League of Nations cove
nant, and demanded that the state de
partment make public Immediately the
revised text. 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 '

NEURALGIA
IS FINALLY
OVERCOME
This Kansas City Woman
Suffered Terrific Head
aches Until She Used the
Tonic Treatment.
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.
In a week I could see that the treatment
was . helping roe . and I kept taking the
remedy until I - slowly regained - my
strength., -My, appetite improved almost
at once and gradually-tny nerves became
q-wteter. I sleep well now and feel rested
in the morning. My headaches gradual
ly became less frequent and the pain less
severe. It gives me pleasure to recom
ment Dr. Williams' Pink i Pills to ; my
friends because" I know that the remedy
will help them."
