A New Thing in
Dentistry

Cheaper the cost of a common neces-
sitv and, providing you don't cheaper
its worth, you are sure to interest the
public. That's what an up to date firm
of dentists are doing. Heretofore the
general charge among dentists for in
specting, treating and cleaning your
teeth one time was one dollar and
half. The Won Houten Expert Dentists,
1112 Market ST., cor. of McAllister, give
you this same service now for one dol
lar a year, and they don't restrict you
to the number of times you may have
il done. They figure they can get
hundred new patients at this price
where they could only get ten at
the higher which is only too true
when you consider that they give you
more and charge you less.
There is no contradicting the fact
that they have the largest and finest
dental parlors on the Pacific coast an
inspection will prove this. Specimens
of their filings, plates, crowns and
bridgeWork-the latter sometimes
termed alveolar process-show the
highest standard of workmanship.
1t is evident that their high class
work and reasonable charge are going
to create new era in dentistry lust
the same as a certain drug firm did a
few years ago when they cut the price
of drugs and prescriptions almost half

as the other fellow at a lesser price

DRAINAGE URGED
TO RESTORE LAND
WaterlOgged Areas in San Joa=
quin Valley Are Treated
With Success
State and Government Officials
Devise Method to Offset
Oyerirrigation

A big step forward in the handling
of irrigated farms has been taken py
a solution of the drainage question
through a cooperative effort on the
part of the state of California and
the United States department of agrl-
culture. Some tracts, long under 1rri-
cation, have become waterlogged.
The practice in the past was to apan-
don these sections as worthless. Ex-
periments conducted in the San Joaquin
valley by Experts Samuel Fortier and
Victor NJ. Cone have demonstrated tnat
by a proper system of drainage the
water level may be kept below the
roots of the orchard trees and Vlne-
yards and irrigation carried forward
without danger. :.
DRAINAGE PREVENTS INJURY
The results of the tests in the San
Joaquin valley have been embodied IN
a special bulletin of the department OF
agriculture. This conclusion has been
reached
These experiments show that drain
age which will hol dthe ground water
below the roots of trees and vines Will
prevent the injury of orchards and
vineyards and will quickly restore
below that of reclaiming new lands
and providing new equipment Whlle
the experiments were confined to one
region, the methods employed and the
results obtained will apply to other sec
tions having similar conditions.
The report tells of the methods en-
ployed in draining and in restoring to
their former productiveness some OF
the worst waterlogged tracts about
Fresno.
DRAINAGE DISTRICT SUGGESTED
Work on a larger scale is recon-
mended. On this point the report says:
1T is evident from the above that
approximately 100000 acres of land
surrounding Fresno should be included
in one drainage district. The drainage
canals would extend from near Clovis
at the head of the district to the dis
charge point in Fresno slough, dis
tance of over 80 miles. 1t is probable
that three main canals would be neces-
sary to serve the country One run
ming in a southwesterlay direction
from near Clovis past the north side
of the city of Fresno and serving also
the country west of Fresno, and then
running south to near the town of Raj
sin; a second canal commencing at the
eastern boundary of the district and
running west through the alkan belt
south of Fresno and joining the first
lateral near the town of Raisin; and
a third running along the south side of
the district probably through the sand
swales west of Selma and joining the
other two canals. From the junction of
the three canals a main discharge
canal should be constructed to Fresno
slough"
