Improved Dentistry.

DR.. G.. S. Moore has returned from
Chicago where he was diligently en-
gagged for two weeks in picking up
new ideas in up-to-date dentistry.
Experts in the profession from all
parts Of the country gave what is
termed "clinics''-illustrated the
latest improved methods in the bus
mess by practical demonstrations,
and dentists to the number of hun
dreds were on hand to gain inform
alton that would enlighten them on
subjects of interest in their chosen
line of work.
The most important theme pre-
sented was porcelain inlay work.
This is simply filling teeth with a
fine quality of porcelain, tinted to
the proper shade, which cannot be
told from the teeth themselves. By
this new departure conspicuous gold
filings are done away with and in
the large cities porcelain filling is
already being used almost entirely.
DR.. Moore secured the necessary
paraphernalia to execute this class
of work to perfection and samples OF
this filling can be seen at his dental
parlors. So closely can the porce-
lain be laid to the tooth that even
the joint line can scarcely be dis
cerned.
The doctor is to be congratulated
upon his endeavor to keep in line
with these improved methods.

Building Committee Meets.

A meeting of the Building Com
mittee of the new courthouse is on
as the Herald goes to press, every
member being present.
One of the conclusions of the last
meeting was that Contractor Mason
of the Northern Building company
was to communicate with Architect
Koch previous to March 4th as to
having assurances that the defunct
company was in shape to complete
the structure. The architect had
received no such information up to
D. m. last evening and as result
it was determined to sever relations
with the Northern Building COM
pany entirely.
The bondsmen of the company,
Aetna Indemnity company of Hart
ford, Conn, will be held for $685.
900, amount of bonds.
The committee will determine
whether the contract for compile
ton of the structure will be sub-let,
or whether they will engage a con-
tractor to finish the job before an
adjournment is taken.
