Tacoma Dentistry
versus
Philadelphia Ditto

Mr.. Frank Hallam of Philadel-
phia, Pa, arrived in Seattle a week
ago last Monday to attend the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition.
Having heard great things of the
wonders of the west, he was,
nevertheless. somewhat amazed at
the prosperous condition of affairs
on the coast. "The trip | have
made" says Mr.. Hallam, will re-
main with me to the end of my
days, and l am going back home
with a feeling of sincere regret
that l cannot Immediately return
west and remain permanently.
Mr.. Hallam took in Tacoma last
Tuesday, and while looking up
some old acquaintances that were
from his home town, incidentally
dropped in to the Electro Dental
Parlors in the Tacoma Theater
building. While waiting in the
spacious waiting room, Mr.. Hal
lam was much impressed with the
business-like and pleasing atmos-
phere of his surroundings. II
wonder what kind of dentistry
these fellows can turn out, any
how" murmured Mr.. Hallam to
himself. "If / thought they could
touch our dentists back east /
would take a chance and get fixed
up myself. At that moment DR..
Shanklin, the manager, approached
and it few minutes was chatting
about my trip and things in gen.
eral," continued Mr.. Hallam, and
| suggested to him that my teeth
were by no means in good shape
VIII you allow me to examine
them?' suggested DR.. Shanklin.
Not having any objection l was
ushered into a room that would
have made some of our Philadel-
phia dentists green with envy.
Anything and everything for my
comfort was there, and | began
to feel as comfortable as though
was at my own fireside back
east. The attending operator
treated me so courteously that
told him to get busy and fix me
up, and If he made a good job l
would go back east and show our
dentists what modern dentistry
really looked like. This all hap
pened last Tuesday," continued
Mr.. Hallam, "and now l know
that the Electro Dental Parlors are
it when 1t comes to high grade
dental work, and l have got a set
of teeth second to none, and just
want to say this: If anybody had
told me before / left home that
would have had to come west to
Tacoma to get high class dental
work, when we have so many dem
lists back there-well 1 think /
would be considerably poorer than
[ am now" *s*

edges, and their legs are sc
heavy that the women acquire in
youth a stumbling gait which
they can never correct. although
later in life they remove the leg
ornaments and keep only those
on the arms.
When the woman reaches ma
turity she adds a huge spring
like collar of steel to her equip
ment, the diameter being a foot
or more. Under this are other
steel or copper collars, and in her
ears are string after string of
beads. Taken all in all, her steel
and head ornaments average a
weight of some so or 60 pounds.
This metal tubing almost suffices
to clothe them; but they wear
also a leather apron, stitched on
with fiber, which they can never
remove, and in which they live
and sleep from youth to old age.
A short time ago, Lenana, the
king of the Nasal, came with his
court into Nairobi to lodge a com.
plant against the Kiquyus for
stealing some of his sheep. A few
years back he would have sale,
in with his fierce but now worth
less warriors and wiped the XII
kuyus out. It's different these
days. Now they let the British
government settle their Difficult
ties for them. Lenana is fine
old savage, with something mon
golian about his cast of features
His royal robe is a gorgeous rec
blanket, and his insignia are {
marquise ring of fine hammered
steel which covers his middle fin
ger from base to tip, and an ear
ring in his right ear which causes
his lobe to drop down to the
shoulder.
When l was introduced to him
by Mr.. H. F. Ward, head of the
Bona Trading Co., Lenana grave
ly shook hands with me and babe
me welcome through an interpret
err. He refused to let me photo
graph him, though, pretextine
that he was not very well.

"SHOW ME" STATE AWAKES

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Aug. 18.-
The good citizens of the "show
me" state awoke today to a reali-
cation of the packages handed
them by their irresponsibles in the
state legislature last winter. A
gentleman of Missouri, held in the
local tanks for stealing a razor
back hog, learned this morning
from the judge that under a new
law his demeanor of yesterday is
a felony of today. He escaped
with light fine and warning.
Another Missourian learned from
his attorneys that under a new
law he cannot recover more than
$50 on hog which met its death
in a railroad crossing.
Missouri youths under IS may
smoke cigarettes II they pay $40
per "cig" for the luxury. 1t costs
800 to give a youth under the
prescribed age cigars, cigarettes
or "the makings."
No Scandal Goes.
The nude In art Is barred.
Newspapers may not publish scan
dalous matter even though it may
be of court record. No liquor may
be sold in the state except on
dining cars. Whites and blacks
are to be segregated in the state
reform schools. incidentally 1t is
a felony for anyone to steal cleo
trio power in Missouri.
In short, 80 laws bluer than
any dear old Boston ever sweated
under is the outcome of the states
legislative session and may cause
an exodus to more congenial
cline.

"comforters," of an antique de-
sign and lineage.

POOH CAR SERVICE.
TO POINT DEFIANCE

Assistant City Attorney Baker
had taste of the poor street car
service at Point Defiance park
yesterday. With eastern guests,
he and his family went out to the
park, and when they came back
they had the usual experience
with the park turnstiles. A jost-
ling crowd of a thousand people
pulled and pushed to get through,
and the turnstiles closed with
some of Mr.. Bakers party on the
outside. 1t took Just As minutes,
he says, to get on a car, and then
the car stood there 10 minutes
before 1t started.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-08-16

This is what happens to scores
of families that go to the park.
The turnstiles are closed, leaving
half of a family outside and half
inside. causing serious inconven-
fence.
Later last evening the crowds
became even larger and In the
jam at the turnstiles one woman
tainted.
The Eastern visitor declared he
had been in every city in the
United States and he had never
seen such utter disregard for the
welfare of the people by a public
service corporation.

piled one upon another.
The Nasal are very like Ameri-
can Indians, scorning all kinds of
work and requiring their wives to
do 1t all. You will see long pro-
cessions of them, the men bearing
their spears and shields and the
women struggling after with the
burdens of wood or blankets or
whatever may be needed on the
trek. About the only thing
which Nasal will deign to carry
for white man is his gun, and
this is a source of joy for him.
AS for the women, they con-
denim themselves to hurden-bear-
ing all their lives. AS soon as
they are full grown, steel and
copper wire are wound round
their legs from ankle to knee, and
again round the arms from wrist
to elbow, and sometimes from ell
bow to shoulder also, forming
solid coils of steel and copper,
each section of which weighs sew
en- or eight pounds. Their arms
grow puffy and distorted over the

new CITY BARN
PHI NNE)

Plans have been completed by
the city engineer for the new city
barn. 1t will be two stories high
and will be modern in every re-
spect. Construction will be OF
concrete and 1t will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
The city now has thousands Of
dollars worth of horses and ma
terial at the city barn, which Is
in danger from fire all the time.
The present barn is an old shack
that is allowed to stand only by
sufrrance because the city has no
other place to put it's horses.
The new plans will be sent to
the council Wednesday night.
