We don't use dangerous drugs or narcot-
les the make our work painless, and our
method does not cause sleep or deaden the
faculties in any way.
There are many who won't believe we
can fill or extract teeth without an instant's
pain to the patient. This skepticism,
founded on past experience, is natural But
we suggest 10 skeptical persons that, at the
worst, our treatment cannot be more pain
tul than others, so there can be nothing lost
in finding out about it. This is especially
true when you remember that we can give
you better work than most dentists because
we have specialists for the different branches.

Giant at the White House.

Washington Dispatch.
The Russian giant, Fodder
Elexiovitch Machnow, W b q
stands 8 feet 3 inches in his
stocking feet and tips t b e
scales at 365 pounds, ca me
to Washington this aftec-
noon, from New York, and
paid a visit to the White
House where he was intro
duced to President Roosevelt
by Parson Davies, of New
York, one OF the best all
round sporting men 10 IN e,
country. Morris Gest, who,
accompanied Macnow acted
as interpreter.
As the giant was presented
to the President he fell upon
his kuee and attempted to
kiss the hand Of the Chief Ex
ecutive, as is the custom In
Russia when one is presented
to the Emperor. llewasgood
naturedly waved aside.
Through theinterpreter the
President and Machn0w held
a conversation that lasted
about five minutes.
In making the introduction
of the giant to the President
P arson Dayis said: "Mr.
President. this is Feeder AL
exiovitch MachnO. 1t is my
pleasure to introduce the big
gest man in the world to the
greatest man IN the world"
AS the President greeted
Machnow he placed his hand
on Davies shoulder and al
lowed it to remain there nm
til he had concluded his oudi
ence with the big mau. Then
turned to the man who has
refereed many a big pugalis
tic battle, the President said:
"And now l want to haye a
little talk with you."
The two, arm ia arm, i'm
mediately disappeared into
the private Office OF the Presi
dent and were closeted to
gether for some time, just
before the door closed behind
them the President t was heard
to enquire earnestly of Mr..
Dayies il he really thought
that Jim Jeffrles was t b e
grea test heavyweight fighter
in the world today.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Cores pendent.

From our Regular Cores pendent.
Nearly the whole OF a long
cabinet session this week
was devoted to discussing
the contemplated prosecuti>
on OF the Standard Oil Com
parry on the strength Of the
report that has bean made
by Commissioner of Corp0r-
ations Garfield on the dis
examinations practiced in the
oil business, particularly in
the trs nsportatiUn Of the oil
by the railroads. 1t has
been announced that t b g
prosecution will be instituted
and special attorneys for
the prosecution have been
retained. Then the question
of how the Standard isgoing
to meet the situation. This
will not be the first time the
giant company has been in
the courts, it has always
had money enough to buy
the best brains on the market
and thus effectually defeat
any attempt on the part OF
the government torurb 1t or
exact even approximate
Justice from it.
The chances are that the
prosecution will be about an
great a farce as any other
of the prosecutions OF the
|Standard that have been in
stitu,ed, but it will be rather
interesting to see what sort
OF a farce it will be.

cut,on flying very thick just

|of the railroad presidents
were suhpoenaed to, appear
before the commission dur
ing it's recent sittings. There
was towards the end OF the
} hearings q general invita-
! tion issued for any railroad
presidents who wished to
come forward and tell a

none of them wished. none o'

was no legal command to al

thus If there should be any

more miraculous still ther'

did not see what was to pre-

There is d life and death
struggle going on in the
House between the forces OF
the Pure Food Bill and the
loby OF the adnlterated food
manufacturers. This is a
pretty fight. 1t is interesting
to watch and the wonder is
that any honest vendor ol
food feels that be cal afford
to fight the measure that is
being put forward. The bill
does not prescribe what the
people shall eat or what they
shall buy. It merely insists
that when the Finest impor.
ted olive on il really cotton
need, the label should say
so. Similarly It provides
that when the can OF vege-
tables you get at the corner
grocery orat the department
stores weighs only two
pounds and a half, the label
should state the weight and
not let the customer be de-
luded into thinking he is get
