Ugly
Teeth

A certain cross-grained philosopher once
said that an ugly face was q misfortune
but ugly teeth were an insuN-
There is no need for any man or woman
to go through life with ugly teeth. and BY
ugly teeth we mean teeth that are decay
ed or missing entirely. For years dentists
have known no other way OF supplying
missing teeth than by Introducing into the
mouth a cumbersome partial plate upon
which was tackled q row OF false teeth"
bearing about as much resemblance TO
natural teeth az glass eye does to a nat
ural eye. Ugly Is the word that best de-
scribes them. They were not even useful.
About five years ago the dental profess
sion was startled when we announced that
we could restore missing teeth with natu-
raj looking. strong. serviceable teeth and
that we would do this work without the
aid Of any plates or so-called bridge
work. We served notice then and there
that we were going to do away with ugly
teeth and supply in their place beautiful
set OF natural looking and natural feeling
teeth which would be az serviceabae as II
they grew In the mouth.
We invite you to come and allow US to
make a complete and careful examination
Of your mouth. This will cost you nothing
but your time. You will be under no obli-
cation to have any work done unless you
are thoroughly satisfied to do 80. If it Is
not possible for you to como at once. let
US send you free of charge our book en-
titled ''ALvEOLAR DENTISTRY" which
explains all about the method. It Is a
very valuable work on the teeth aside
from its interest in explaining this re-
markable method of restoring teeths and
the reading Of 1t will richly repay you.
l. If your teeth need attention they should
have it without further delay. for once
they begin to go they go fast. Our advice
would be to call OF write today.
We do all other branches Of dentistry
in the state. Don't fail to call and get an
estimet e on your work. Our prices are
moderate.

The Prophet Hosea.-The name means
salvation and In the personal history
OF the prophet-which many of the deep
est and most spiritual Bible scholars such
as G.. Campbell Morgan, of England. and
James M. Gray, dean of the Moody Bible
institute. consider a literal portrayal OF
the prophets life-we find a type or illus
tration of Jehovah's relations to Israel.
Hosea's field of labor was Israel, and he
prophesied during the reign Of Jeroboam
H., about 7S4 b. c.. down to the captiv-
ity Al outline of the book Is as follows:
!. Historico-prophetic, chapters l 10 o.

3. Promises, chapter IA, ta) Appear Oh
God, VS.. 1-3; CD Promised blessing, vs..
IS; (c) Application to all. V. 9. The per-
sonal history of the prophet may be Oh
Vided into three periods as follows: "
A Happy Union-The prophet marrles d
woman who had lived an impure life, but
who had reformed. () A Ruined Home
Three children came to bless the home,
and then the wife, forgetful of oblga-
lions of wifehood and MOTHERHOOD, oe-
serts her home for her former lovers. 90

band never loses sight of her, ana at las
after she had sunk to the very depths OF
sin he buys her baCk so that he may re-
store her to her old place In the home.

prophets life is a type Of Jehovah's union

SERMON ETTE.

Love will travel far and stoop
low to save the object of that
affection.
How may we know the
strength of the Divine love ave
as some faint conception of it is
borne in upon the heart
through the revelation of the
human relationship?
All through those long years
the love of Hosea followed the
hayward wife while she sank
lower and lower, until at last
she had touched the very depths
of human degradation. Desert
ed by her lovers and sold as a
slave into the lowest forms of
iniquity, still the husband love
follows, and is strong enough to
bring him to her side and to re-
deem her by paying the price of
her enslavement.
How like this is the Divine
love. "WhiIe we were yet in u
sins, Christ died for the ungod-
ly." From the heaven above
God was able to reach down by
his infinite love and find a way
to save lost and ruined man.
And if God has so manifested
his love towards us in that he
has given his only begotten Son
that we might be delivered from
the slavery into which sin has
plunged US, how ought we to
follow his example and hold on
to the wayward soul and love,
and love, and love yet still nor
until at last love is triumphant?
1t is not love that casts off
forever the one who has done
the wrong and who never thinks
or purposes that the t%ransgres-
sor shall be won back.
Sin of one against another
does not relieve of obligation,
but rather does it obIigate the
one against whom the sin has
been committed to help the err
ing n back to the right way
of living.
True love not only can stoop
low but it can wait long. But
there is reward in the waiting,
for love must triumph, and at
last the hayward one is brought
to the place where it can hear
loves message and be stirred to
high and holy aspirations. How
wonderful is the love that never
fails.

THE GARDEN SPOT OF THE EARTH
Many People Planning to Go to
Southwest Oklahoma.

The removal OK restrictions on In
dian lands in the Indian Territory por-
ton Of Oklahoma, is creating great in
terest throughout the nation among
capitalists looking for investments and
planning to establish manufactures, as
well as among the tillers of the soil
who hope to better their condition.
Chickasha is situated in the Washi-
ia valley, the center of the choicest
Of the Indian lands, and to that city
will go those who study the situation
intent on reaching the vantage point.
Seven railroad lines diverge there.
Water plants will furnish to manufac-
tories cheap electric power.
Chickasha ships more corn, more
cotton and nor live stock than any
other point in Oklahoma.
The modern built business district
in the valley and beautiful residence
portion on hills make a veritable
dreamland. The imposing churches
and modern school buildings are mon
uments to the character of the citizens
who erected them.
The country for which Chickasha is
the market center ranks with the most
productive in the world. Corn, cotton,
wheat and alfalfa are grown with
equal success to that Of either crop
in a one crop country. Garden truck
ing is to be one of the most profitable
pursuits. Fruits of all kinds grow and
produce luxuriantly. In fact, Grady
county, of which Chickasha is the
capital, is the garden spot Of the
earth.
Chickasha has a live Commercial
Club which promptly answers letters
Of inquiry regarding the section to
which the eyes of the nation are just
now directed.

THE STORY.

1T WAS in the days of the wicked
/ King %Jeroboam H., ruler over the
northern kingdom of Israel, that a son
was born to Beeri, a devout man, and
one that kept himself free from the
~corrupting influences all about. Now,
there was nothing in the birth of this
child that marked it as different from
that of multitudes of other chill
dren throughout the kingdom, save
that with the coming of the babe
there had been given a vision to
the father, and he had insisted on
calling the name of the boy Hosea,
for, said he: He shall bring a mes
sage of salvation to his nation"
This was all he would say, stead
lastly refusing to reveal anything con
corning his vision, but that he had be-
held some unusual appearance and
that it always had some influence upon
the manner Of the rearing of the child
was manifest to all those who gave
the matter any thought at all.
But fortunately, perhaps, for the ia
Their, Beeri, and for the son, Hosea.
they occupied a very lowly place in
the tribe and the community where
they lived, and SO they lived their sim.
pie life almost alone and unnoticed.
1t was a time of great moral and
spiritual decay in the nation, but not
wfthstanding the destructive tenden.
cies at work, and the demoralizing ex
ample of the king and his court, King
J~eroboS-n was a strong leader, and did
much to build the kingdom along ma.
terial lines.
This very condition Of prosperity
contributed to the general moral de-
