You may think you do and so may your den- tist. but you may both be wrong-your local dentist may commit the irreparable blunder Of extracting your teeth when if he mad Dr. Kings up-to date science of saving them he might have avoided deplorable error.
 If you have lost a few teeth they can be re- placed without the usual set or partial set of teeth which in nearly every case shows an artinciality that is objectionable.

"RESIGN OR WE QUIT"
Equitable General Agents, Ul.
 timatum to Hyde.
TERMED A MENACE TO THE SOCIETY
Young Vice President Says, "Imper. tinent and Ridiculous; I Will Not Resfgn"-StOrm Ragged High
 at Savoy Convention.


 {. NEW YORK, April 2O.-After four hours of stormy discussion the man. agers and general agents of the Equi- table Life Assurance society assembled in convention at the Hotel Savoy rbeIe, passed resolutions condemning James Hazen Hyde. the society's vice presi- dent, and demanding his resignation.
 The resolution was as follows:
 We, the agents of the Equitable Life Assurance society, representing many thousands of the policy holders of the society, respectfully request that you, because of the hurtful notoriety you have achieved and for the good of the society, which you ought to love, and for the memory of your father, which you must revere, discontinue your connection as an officer of the so ciety."
 It was carried by a vote of 17O to 17.
 Accompanying the demand for Mir. Hyde's resignation is a well accepted rumor that if he refused to resign, as 1t is said he will do. the general agents who voted for the resolution will leave the Equitable society and take with them so much of their business as they can control.
 The meeting was an exceedingly stormy one Three or four people were trying to talk at once most of the time. The Hyde forces were in the most hopeless minority. The men from the west and southwest dwelt at great length on the sentiment of the public in the sections whence they came and pointed out that the situation was such that it could not be fully realized fin the east, where different conditions prevailed. The Hyde men tried hard to pacify the radical element by ask ing for proof of Mir Hyde's alleged wrongdoing.
 This argument was met with the display of newspaper clippings.
 When the meeting adjourned it was fin wild disorder.
 Three of the members of the commit tee to wait on MT. Hyde were Joseph Bowes of Baltimore. w. J. Roddey of South Carolina and Frank c. Levy of New Orleans.
 Mir. Hyde made the following state ment:
 "T have not seen the committee. and I have not seen the resolutions. but consider them impertinent. extraorii- nary. insulting and most preposterous. I have no intention of resigning"
 Mir Hyde. it is said. has retained Jo- seph H. Choate. the retiring ambassa- dor to England. as one of his legal ad- visers in the Equitable controversy.
