Good Health Demands The Very Best Teeth If you would have perfect di gestion, thereby insuring per fect health, it is necessary that your teeth be in perfect shape. If your natural teeth are in a condition precluding perfect mastication, it is best that you have them attended to at once. It is better that you have false teeth than to go with poor ones. A dentist of known ability and with a reputation of doing the best work should be the one to entrust with the job of attend ing to your wants in his line. The one practitioner in The Dalles who has always given perfect satisfaction is Dr. Slat ten, with offices over the Wasco County Bank. Dr. Slatten has practiced dentistry in The Dalles for over 15 years and the thous ands of satisfied patients patron ising him is evidence that his work is of the best. His charges are as low as first class dentistry will allow. Work of all kinds, from extracting to making a full set of teeth, filling, bridge work and treating is done by him. When in need of dental work visit Dr. Slatten and be sure of getting the best , Have Them Vulcanized Auto Hosts One-Sixth as Great as U. S. Population Comparison of Automobile and Human.

Instead of throwing away what seems to be a worn out tire, take it to F. D. Frazief of Dufur and have it vulcanized. By so doing you will receive many more miles' service from your tires and the cost will be but a fraction of what a new tire would cost. Try him once and you will be a regular customer ever after. Shearers Get 15c Per Fleece The Kistner sheep shearing crew was in town Wednesday, numbering eight men. Today far cry from tbe full iklrta, wasp walits and leg o' mutton tleeres of .entv-flv years ago, but wa have traveled also a long way from the two-ryllndcr gaa wagon of 1000 to the high-powered motors speeding over our highways today, declares the Stewart-Warner Safety Council A quarter of a century ago there was one automobile for, every 9,500 people In the United States. Ten years ago there was one automobile for eTery 83 people, while today the motor population: it one-sixth as large as the human population, or one car to every six people. This rapid growth has put the automobile as foremost among American Industries, but It has also produced a fearful menace to the public, points out the Safety Council which has for Its purpose the prevention of automobile accidents. A vigorous campaign of public educntlon must be pushed If annual rate of automobile fatalities is to be reduced from 22,000. Chicken Thieves Take Criterion Man's Flock Pete Kirsch of Criterion is always willing to give any de serving person a chicken. Pete is a philanthropist when it comes to helping the needy, but he is emphatically against indiscrimin ate chicken pilfering. One night the latter part of last week: Pete sought his peaceful bed on the porch of his home. He thought no evil, but was perpared to sleep the sleep of the just. He was not distufbed during his slumbering. On awakening he noticed a silence on the part of his roosters and upon investiga ting found his chicken house .had been raided and about 50 fine fowls taken. He has no idea who the thieves were, but will now proceed to procure more egg layers. Of course he will keep close watch on the biddies hereafter.

Some Lambing Record We were told, last week of a most peculiar circumstance con nected with the sheep business.' While we will not vouch for the accuracy of the statement, we give it as we learned it, and it is this: During the lambing season at the Troutman ranch a certain ewe gave birth to a single lamb. She took care of it and a week later, became mother to another baby sheep. At the lapse of another week the ewe gave birth to a third lamb, making triplets,: yet .hav ing the three young ones at in tervals of a week between them. This can be accounted one of the rare freaks of nature and is unexplainable by the ordinary individual. ; The people living on the Mount Hood loop highway, have gotten together and are uSing the slogan "rhododendron Week on Mount Hood loop, May 16 to 23," in order to let the public know that the rhododendrons will be at their best during 'that time.,',' .'. .; , .,'v. ., ,V, Due to the early spring and open winter the. wild flowers: are at least two weeks earlier than usual this year and it is well worth your time to take a trip around the Loop and enjoy these beautiful flowers Mother Nature has so generously provided.
