LONDON, Feb. 11.-President

expressed his admiration for the

credit of 1t during the last 20
years has been due to Sir Andrew
Frazer, lieutenant governor of
Bengal, who is Just retiring after
SO years of service.
One of England's strong men,"
he has ruled over nearly 100000
900 people of every variety of
caste, color and religion. Natur-
ally like all men with an iron will
and determination he has had to
carry through many of his.schemes
ruthlessly, and for years he has
held his life In his hand. Within
the last three months he has
twice narrowly escaped assassini
alton, once just missing a shot
from revolver, the other time
being only saved by a brave native
prince from death by madman's
knife.
Despite this, he leaves India
with a magnificent reputation for
administrative ability and impair

dams unanimously regret his re-
tirement. He will be rewarded
with . peerage and . big pensios.

IS INCORPORATED

The Denison Ferry & Transpor-
4Ation company, capital stock
$500, 900, is a new corporation
formed in Tacoma today to build
and operate car ferries and rail-
ways.
The company is organized
around a new car ferry invention
OF DR.. James r. Denison, con-
structed with an adjustable deck

ings. The deck is adjusted by
huge screws operated by machin-
cry.
The company Is incorporated by
DR.. J. R. Denison, president; Cor
don Powers, vice president; ]. M.
Linn, secretary, and George
Trust, treasurer.
DR.. Denison says with the in
vention 1t will be possible to do
away with the expensive landings
now required for car ferries and
all that will be needed viii be
rails laid to the edge of the deck
on which to shift the cars. He
expects the economy of the prop
osition to produce great business
and to cover the Sound with the
ferries, thus putting all mills or
the waterfront, no matter where
located, In direct touch with al
railways without the burden o.
successive switching charges.
Ferries can be built of any size
to carry from one car to a whole

DENTISTS


When the teeth begin to go,
one by one, the man or woman
who is losing them becomes
very anxious, and with reason.
Nature demands a full COM
plement of teeth, so that the
food may be chopped and
ground up in the mouth before
it passes into the stomach.
If there is a hole in the line,
here and there, some food Is
apt to enter the stomach I'M
prepared.
Then begins the so-called
stomach trouble" and every
body knows what follows that
ailment.
: Our method of supplying
missing teeth without plates or
so-called bridge work is a god
send to those whose teet.i are
going or gone.
The new teeth will be as sat
isfactory, look better and II
anything be more serviceable,
because they will be sound and
perfect and as solid as though
they grew in the mouth.
The filling and placing of
these new teeth Is a painless
process. Don't regard it as
something to be dreaded-an
operation. 1t is nothing of that
kind.
One thing you should do
and without delays to let us
look your teeth over.
We make no charge whatso-
ever for examination and estt-
mates.
Every day that you put 1t
off makes it Just that much
harder for you. Teeth decay
fast, and once gone they are
gone forever.

wear a plate, do you?
