Flexible Rubber
Dental Plates

OUR NEW PROCESS of Flexible Dental
Plates is as yet but little understood by the
public and less understood by dentists In
general. 1t has many advantages over the
ordinary rubber plates-even gold plates
being lighter and thinner. This plate being
nexlbe--ony trifie thicker than heavy
writing paper-f1ts closer to the mouth,
will last longer and is tougher than any
other rubber. Once tried, no other plate
will be desirable. Brought to the notice Of
the public through DR.. Schiffman only !.

WANTS OF LABOR,
Needed Legislation Pointed Ont by
Samuel Gompers in Letter
to the President.

Washington, Nov. 26.-President
Samuel Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has addressed a letter
to President Mckinley, at the request
of the latter, containing suggestions as
to legislation in the interest of labor
which, he believes, the president ought
to discuss in his forthcoming annual
message to congress.
Concerning the eight-hour work day
for all government employees, Mr..
Gompers proposes that law be passed
providing for the establishment of the
eight-hour work day on all work done
by or for the government, whether that
work be done by contractors or SUBJ
contractors. He expresses the opinion
that the government might, with profit
and advantage, become direct en-
ployer of labor where it is practicable,
the government suffering the loss
which such Intervention between the
work and contractors implies.
Mr.. Gompers points out some of the
evils of competition between the prod
uce of free labor and that of convict
labor. Legislation by the several states
On this subject having proved ineffec
tive-as, it has been held that state
cannot prohibit the importation within
lts borders of the product of any other
state-Mr. Gompers suggests that the
power Of congress be invoked to regu-
late such commerce between the states.

PRAIRIE FIRES.
They Are Causing Heavy Losses In
Oklahoma and Indian
Territory.

St. Louis, Nov. 2s.-A special to the
Republic from Perry, o. T., says: Prai-
RE fires have played havoc in Oklahoma
and the Indian territory for the last
few days. One farmer lost 1000 acres
of fine hay in the field, several hundred
bales of cotton and 500 head of cattle
and hogs. He estimates his loss at $780,
600. Millions of tons of hay in bale and
bulk have been burned in other sections
and no less than 100 residences have
been destroyed. Several lives have been
lost in these prairie fires. In the Kiova
Indian reservation strip of land 30 by
rs miles was burned over, causing great
damage. These fires have been more de-
structive owing to the high winds.
