Town Topics.
NOTHING BUT HUSTLE,

It takes an eternal hustle to keep at the head nowadays in anything. No matter what your business may be, if you would keep ahead of your competi- tors, you must get up early in the morn ing every day in the week, Take the immense clothing house of Meigs -S5 Co. of Bridgeport as an example. If hustling wasn't the rule there they could never hold the lead they now have in the clothing business of this section. They are always on the scent for the newest and best in clothing, and during the sum- mer they were particularly active in getting together the goods which now comprise their fall showing. To look through the store and note the splendid array of clothes for men and boys and to note the seeming variance between the value of the goods and the lOWness of the prices, is but to realize that as prices have fallen month after month, values seem to rise higher in the cloth ing world A visit to Meigs &5 Co. s store will repay any student of econ omics or any one who is interested in buying good clothing at the price of cheap clothiDg-and who of us is not?

A LITTLE TALK ABOUT DENTISTRY.

Dentistry, as pr4cticed to-day by those practitioners who know and make use of all the latest and best of the many im- provcnents constantly being made to the art, is as different from the dentistry of a dozen years ago as house painting is different from the work of Munkacsy or DuMaurcr. Perhaps the greatest ad- vance made in any one department is the rapid rise in public favor of gold crown and bridge work. Most people have seen this work in the mouth of some friend
 admired il, and wished they had their teeth restored in tho same way, and there they stop. Why? Because most of them imagine the price for such work is such that they cannot afford it. They have some reason for thinking 90, too, in view of the fact that some dentists charge prices actuejly prohibitive as far the majority of people are concerned. There is a reason for this. Many dentists do lot make their own crowns and bridges. It is work that requires no small amount of skill, care and judgment. Therefore they buy them ready made and make the tooth fit the crown. The up-tO-date dentist makes all crowns and bridges in his own laboratory from meas uremcnts of the teeth to be crowned. In this way the crown is made to fit the tooth, which is better for the tooth, the work i5 handsomer and more durable. Moreover, tho cost is less and all the ad-
 vantagos are on this side. The Boston Dental Co.,, 42O Main street, Bridgeport, with a well earned record for superiority in all lines of dental work, do all their own crown and bridge work, and at pres ent are making 8 speciality of it at just one half former prices. They use the same quality material and devote the same care to the work as when charging regular prices. All that is needed is from one to four sound roots or teeth to retain any size bridge. With each Case they give written, iorn-clad guarantee that the work is perfect in every respect
 No method of doing business could be fairer. An inferior operator could not afford to do it, his profit, in the endeavor to keep his work at par with his guaran- tee, would be minimized too much. If your teeth need attention it will be your good fortune if you consult these skilled and reliable specialists, your interest and theirs are identical and they fully ap- preciate this fact. No inferior work is allowed to leave their office under any circumstances. Every operation is guar anteed to be absolutely painless. Con- sultation, examination and advice are free, yours for the asking. Don't forget to remember them next time you go to the city. They allow your car fare, too, on all work amounting to $5 or oyer.
