Hundreds OF our readers would have their
unsightly teeth and roots extracted, If their
dentist would not compel them to wait from
three to six months tor their new teeth. That
is the old fashioned way. By the new method,
used exclusively by Drs Rector and Uhle, the
Albany Dentists OF Bridgeport, the impress
sion is taken before the teeth are extracted,
which avoids any injury or pain to sore and
bleeding gums and the new teeth are made
and inserted as soon AS the old teeth or roots
are extracted BY this method, you are not
embarrassed by being tootilless. You can
masticate your foed thoroughly and the plate
is protection to the gums. Call Mt the office
OF Drs Rector q Uhlc, the Albany dentists, for
further inflammation.

A CRANK LEGISLATURE.

The Minnesota legislature is what the
boys would call daisy" at least some of
its members are what would popularity be
called daisies" There has been much
talk about the lawmakers spasm of NOR
atty which has asserted itself in declara-
ton against tights. The text of the bill
which was introduced by, Senotor HALE and
recommended for passage by the committee
of the whole senate reads as follows:
That any female persons who shall, upon the
stage or platform in any theatre or opera
house, concert hall or any public place what
ever where other persons are present, EXPOSE
her neither limb or limbs, dressed in tights, So
called, or in any manner whatsoever SO that
the shape and form OF her neither limb or limbs
are plainly visible, to such other persons pres
ent, shall be guilty OF open and gross lewdness,
and lascivious behavior, and guilty of INSIDE
meanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by fine OF not less than s. nor m ore
than S100, or Imprisonment in the county Jail
not less than five days nor more than thirty.
The legislators do not say SO, but the
manifest intention of the bill is to drive
dudes and bald heads out Of the state. and
that will be the immediate effect of the law.
For these classes life would have no,attrac.
tons in Minnesota. There would be no
bright and cheerful spots for them, and
they would at once go where existence
would be worth the effort that it requires.
But the anti tights bill is not the only
one which has for its object the making of
