The New Way of
Practicing Dentistry ,
THE E. R. Parker
System in Dentistry
is nothing but dentistry
put on a common-sense
basis. Instead of one
man practicing in a
small way in a small
c.nice, several dentists
practice together under
the Talker System in
large ofliccs, where there is
l'ooiti for complete equip
i.ir.ntb. Some of the System
'er.tisis extract teeth, some
f.H teclh, some make crowns
i;nd briiijts, some make arti
Jicil plates mid some treat
diseased teeth. In this way
each paticrt is c.ircd for by
n derlht who is experienced
in the kind of work each pa
tieni needs. Dental work done
in this manner is not only
i.onr. I'c'.Lr, but in leas time,
iraking fewer visits necessary,

I .ifLer Syslein is used,
located in different;
cities. Thousands of pa- i
tients are treated in j
these offices, and the
large quantities of den- j
tal supplies used are
bought for less money I
than has to be paid for
Dr. Parktt small quantities.
All dentists using tho'
E. R. Parker System are reg- j
istered, licensed and experi-.
enced. The work they do is
done so well that it can be ,
guaranteed. You are sure of
satisfaction. j
Under the Parker System'
no charge is made for exam
inations and advice. You can
find out what your teeth need
without having to pay a cent.
Everything known in dentis
try to overcome pain is used
in Parker System o'Hce.i, so
you need -have .no fear at Ml.
The whole idua is this:

ETS ALL THE GOOD POINTS
Daughter of Famous Author and
Composer Inherits Love of Sport
From Father Is Like Ray
of Sunshine.
New York. Everybody was hum
ming or whistling "After the Ball" 25
years ago. - ,
Charles K. Harris, author and com
poser of that popular song, was at that
time a resident of Milwaukee and a
frequent visitor to Chicago. He was
an enthusiastic baseball fan.
The Harris home is now at 151 West
ighty-sixth street, this city, and Miss
Mildred Harris, the nineteen-year-old
daughter of the author-composer, has
inherited a love of baseball from her
father and, despite her total blindness,
is able to "see" the game and enjoy It
almost as keenly as If she had her
sight. For the last seven years she
has been a fan. ,
She sits in the grandstand wearing
smoked glasses and Is always on hand
when the Giants are playing. She
urnus up and down and cheers the
players just like other excited specta
tors. Behind her unseeing eyes is a
mind of extraordinary perception,
swift to grasp what is going on about
her. Some of the experts say she
sees", the game more Intelligently
than those who have all their senses.
Sees Through Father's Eyes.
Miss Mildred's escort Is her father,
and It Is through his eyes that she Is
able to see baseball and understand all
the nice points of the game, as she has
been doing for the last seven years.
He explains the game to her as It
progresses by means of a conversa
tional code.
"When I was twelve years old," she
said, "the Giants v,cre winning the
pennant, and my father was tremen
dously excited about it. Of course I
asked him to explain, and he took a
piece of cardboard and drew a dia
mond on It, marking the bases. While
he told me about the game I traced
the diagram out with my fingers until
got the thing visualized In iny mind.
Then I went to the games with him
and soon learned to understand them
by means of our code, usually ex-
pressed In monosyllables, a word at a
time. Soon I came to know the play
ers and, like others present, to get all
wrought up over team work and brll
liant individual performances."
In this way the blind girl came to
know the stars of the 'hum-bull world.
She can tell you all about the wonder
ful feats of Christy Mnlhcwwm, Ty
Ctum ami tli((t of tiiiire recent date,
Including Benny KaulT, Hoss Yuan;
and others. She laughingly nays he
hits the time of her life when she goes
to a hall gnm She Is sure Hint she
sees all that Is going on just about as
anyone else sees It.
Although Miss Harris was born
blind, she carries a ray of sunshine
with her wherever she goes, for she is
cheerful and optimistic. She Is fond
of the outdoors and excels In walking,
swimming and dancing, She Is an ne
cninpllsluMl pianist, speaks French flu
ently and during the wnr was a volun
teer worker for the Y. W. C. A.
Rooter for the Giants.
It may be added that Miss Mildred
this year Is baling on the Giants, but
the fact Is she luis always been a
"roiter" for the Giants. More than
once, however, she had lost money on
them, but Is hoping that she will he
lucky enough to get some of It back
this year. 8he feels It "In lier bones"
that nothing can head tho Giants off
this year.
The bull Ritnie Is the one place she
can no where she can throw aHlde for
mality and do Juxt as she pleases, and
for this reason It Is her greatest recre
ation. "You see," she enplnlna. "you don't
have to be subdued and aelf-n-tiresMil
but can holler your head off If you
want to, and nobody psys any atten
tion. When the gmiie Is not Ruins Just
rlpht to cult everybody pandemonium
Tfiitm and the whole crowd Is In a
i, "'ate ni irensjr. II certainly is grrtu
i sport."
I . Miss Harris modestly says she has
toon given credit for huvlng converted
ninny others Into fun. Hhe talks btie
IimII enthtiilustlcally to her friends antt
aeiURlutanecs and naturally they be
come Interented and follow the crowd

Ex-President Receives
1,825 Mystery Notes
Long Beach, Cal. Former
President Taft every day for
the last five years has received
from some unknown person of
this city a letter bearing a sig
nature which resembles the
tracks of a struggling fly escap
ing an ink hath. None of the
writing Is decipherable.
Postmaster Demond received
a communication from the for
mer chief executive asking re
lief from the correspondent and
requesting that the local police
Investigate the situation.
In all, 1,825 letters from the
mystery author have been re
ceived, the letter to the local
postmaster states.
Daily Thought.
To receive honestly Is the best
thanks for a good thing. George Mac
Safes Proved Their Value.
In the great fire at Chicago, October
S to 11, 1871, the buildings of IS na
tional banks were destroyed. It was
feared that the banks would suffer in
many cases an almost total loss, but
after the safes recovered from the
ruins were opened it was found that
the books, papers, etc., were in a con
ation to permit the recovery of debts,
md the bunks suffered no losa on that
;round.
The Venerable Toad.
Toads often look very old, don't
they? Even so, probably you have
never imagined that a t ;ad might be
250 years old.t Aetua records prove
that there have been toads of more
than 100 years of age, and very likely
this estimate has been exceeded.

, The Chrysanthemum.
U Is believed that the first specimen
of tho chrysanthemum In Europe was
reared at the Botanic gardens. London,
In lTtU. The flower's rise into favor
was chiefly due to tho Stoke Xewlng
ton Chrysanthemum society, which held
Its first exhibition of blossoms in IS til
and served as a school of chrysauthe
mum culture for the world.
Woman's Superiority.
Men's tailors frequently fail to fit
their customers, because, as someone
has said, tailors do not perform mira
cles. But women's tailors have better
luck, for In their case the women per
form the miracles. Kansas City Star.
Plane Truth.
The paradoxical thing about the air
plane is that It is not much good un
less It Is used up. Boston Transcript.
