This is insurance that insures
The private practitioner offers his
patients his best services and does
their work to the best of his ability.
If any accident happens to this work
or if for any cause It goes wrong and

dentistry is not an exact science and
the dentist no more than the physician
can tell what the result of his work
may be, so that If the private practi-

explain to the patient exactly what
work we are going to do and exactly
what the expense will be. We then

the recent husband
AT the close of the inquest James de
la Montanya stood up and denied having
sent any flowers TO his one time wife
for 20 months, and said that he had not
seen her but once recently and then

testimony. He said that there was
nothing in the case he desired to have

Robert G. Hanford, the man later to
be censured by the jury, stated that he

again said that she couldn't live. There
was nothing more that could do, so,''
concluded the witness. coyly glancing
from the coroner to the jurors and then
to the floor, II went down stairs and
out of the house and back to my hotel"
He did not try to palliate his conduct
in leaving his hostess bleeding to death
on the floor Of the room where he had
just partaken of her hospitality.
When asked why he had not reported
his part of the ira gedy to the chief
deputy coroner. as DR.. Leland told him

NO NOMINATION
IN FIRST CIRCUIT

That judicial candidates will not be
nominated in the First Judicial Circuit
by the Republicans of Somerset, Dor
chester, Wicomico and Worcester, the
four counties that are embraced in this
circuit. was the surprising fact devel-
oped Wednesday at the meeting of the
Republican State Central Committee in
the Hotel Rennert, when dates were
fixed for judicial primaries and con-
ventions in all the other circuits in
which judges are to be chosen in the
fall. The failure to nominate is due to
desire to curtail the size of the official
ballots.
The State Convention will be held
August 25th. at noon. in Baltimore City,
at a place to be designated by Chair
man Hanna.
