WILL SAVE TROUBLE
All Persons Who Have Decayed Teeth Should Consult
 the Dentist.
DENTAL WORK DONE THE" BEEBE
 WAY" IS ALWAYS RIGHT.


 In bringing to your notice the care of your teeth, we believe we are doing you a favor as there is nothing that will pay you better than to have your teeth filled or crowned before they ache.
 In selecting dentist to care for your teeth, you should employ one whose years of experience and progressiveness backed by a reputation for painless and thorough work is sufficient guarantee that your dental work will be cone sat- isfactorily and permanently. You can find such a dentist in Dr Dow R. Beebe, who has always been a leader in pain less dentistry and whose 16 years of experience with a host of satisfied pa tients testify to his ability as dentist. He gives all patients who come to his offices his individual attention and em- ploys no assistants or students and this of itself is an assurance that you will receive the best dental work it is pos sible to obtain. He has made and still makes a speciality of painless dental Operations and only at his office are these medicines and methods used which make all operations on the mouth iand teeth painless.
 With the advent of Chemical Porce- ain new. era in dentistry has been teached as this new filling is perma. hent filling which is undetectable from jthe natural tooth structure and tooth filled with Chemical Porcelain is perma- nently filled and never turns dark or decays again. Porcelain Crowns which Dr Beebe inserts in the mouth are so perfectly matched to the surrounding teeth even by close inspection they cannot be detected. >.
 If you are wearing artificial teeth or if you have got to have your teeth extracted and have some new ones made you should call upon Dr Beebe and have him make you set on alu- minum base and then you will know the comforts of wearing artificial teeth. The doctor guarantees perfect fit and they will be so natural in appearance that your most intimate friends will not know your teeth are artificial.
 You will surely make no mistake if you employ Dr Dow R. Beebe for your dentist and he can always be found at the offices of The Dow R. Beebe Den tai Co.,, 11O-111-112-114 Meigs building from 9 a. m., to 5 p. m. Monday and Saturday evenings, ' to 8.
