and Modern Appliances An
Up-tOddte Office.

One OF the most progressive and
up-to-date dental establishments In
tie entire west is the dental parlorS
OF DR.. Fl f. Kimball. located in the
Brown Block. DR.. Kimoall Is
graduate OF the Chicago College OF
Dental Surgery, and was formerly a
demonstator In that institution OF
learning. He located in Salmon
nearly two years ago; and ever since
| be has been in business in tnis place
it seems to have been the acme OF
his ambition to not only build up a
remunerative business, but TO have
all the appliances OF a city office.
In making the rounds the first Of
the week we made a call at his Of
fees and we're shown the various i'm
provements he bad been making In
the past few months. 1t would be
hard to conceive of dental rooms
which could contain mLre Of the
modern appliances. In connection
with these modern Improvements in
dentistry be has harnessed the cleo
trical juice to supplant the obsolete
foot power. To run the various in.
struments needed 10 his craft he has
three or four electrical motors.
About the only part of his busi-
ness In which electricity is not ap-
piled is In the extraction of teeth
and this is done by the good old
method-by main strength and awk'
wardness. But even the excruciat'
ing agony of this work has been done
away with to large extent by hav'
ing some two or three dozen or more
different kind of forceps-especiallJ
, made for the most complicated cases

tories, there is more or less loss II
