TALK ON TEETH
The Best Dentistry

Have you noticed DR.. Shontz and DIR. Will
son never hold out any special methods or claim
to be exclusive users of any material or advertis
ing allurng specialtles. We say haven't you no.
tjced we do not, and do you appreciate the reason
for us not doing Now know some people
really believe there is such methods and appli-
ances and we have met up with people who
thought they had something that was different
from what other dentists have to offer Now this
is the main reason why the average advertising
dentist especially those that go under assumed
names are not patronized by particular people.
When we ., get pat patient who has had
find they paid little higher price than
generally asked by the average dentist,
and there is the secret Of the whole thing. 1t is
done to graft little more money, for they always
get the methods that are used by all dentists
Now to prove what we say about this we call to
your attention that in every case you always find
when special method or appliance is offered they
never tell you the price in the ad. They always
say prices reasonable or some remark like that.
Drs. Shontz & Wilson do not practice dentistry
that way. We believe the people want honest
methods and prices and we have that to offer and
when we expose the above methods we do so in
justification of the stand we take that the mere
matter of dentist advertising did not prove him
rascal if he followed honest lines
OUR WORK IS GUARANTEED.
but you will have some dentist say that can't be
DONE but we say it can, and ask them why it can't
be done. Are we not free to do as we please? anr
we do. Whenever any of our work gives any dis
satisfaction patients have standing invita-
ton to come back and let us make it satisfactory
and we are the dentists who do so. We give
written guarantee to that fact.

"Well?" inquired Fraser quietly.

Marsh allowed his eyes to waver at

"She is not the sort one cares to dis

Cherry's champion. do you know

It was Boyd's turn to laugh. "But

q song which Boyd Emerson had sung.
In her dream filled eyes was the pic
ture of rough CARRIED. silent man at
her shoulder. and in her ears was the
sound Of his voice. Clear to the last
melting note she played the air. and
then a pitiful sob shook her. She

and Fraser in Balt's room awaiting
him. They were noisy and excited at
the success of the enterprise and at
the prospect Of immediate action.
Boyd told them little Of the news
that had startled him earlier in the
evening beyond the bare fact that
Marsh had floated packers trust and
that secrecy for the present was now
doubly necessary to the success Of
their undertaking. The full signifi-
canoe of the merger. therefore. did not
strike his associates. even when on the
train the next day they read the an
nouncement Of its formation in the
newspapers. Bait alone took notice OF
1t and fell into furious rage at his
enemy's success.
No sooner were they fairly under
way for the west than Emerson began
the definite shaping of his plans. He
and George carefully went over the
many details of their coming work
and sent many messages. with the re-
suit that outfitters in dozen lines
were awaiting them when they arrived
in Seattle. Without loss Of time Boyd
installed himself and his friends at a
hotel. secured competent and close
mouthed stenographer. and then sought
out the banker with whom he had
made a tentative agreement before 60
ing to Chicago. Mr.. billiard greeted
him cordially.
Il see you have carried out your
part Of the program" said he. but be-
fore we definitely commit ourselves we
should like to know what effect this
new trust is going to have on the
canning business"
You mean the n A. P. AT"
Precisely. Our Chicago correspond
ent can't tell us any more than We
have learned from the press-namely
that a combination has been formed
We are naturally somewhat cautious
about financing competitive plant
until we know what policy the trust
will pursue"
Here was exactly the complication
Boyd had feared: therefore it was with
some trepidation that he argued:
1.-THE trust is in business for the mou-
ey. and its very formation ought to be
conclusive evidence Of your good judy
ment. However. you have backed SO
many plants such as mine that you
know as we'll as l do the big profits
to be taken"
THAT isn't the point. Ordinarily we
would not waver an instant. but the
Wayland-M Marsh outfit is apt to upset
conditions. If we only knew
Il know" boldly declared Boyd.
"Mr. Wayland outlined his policy to
me before the public knew anything
about the trust"
Indeed? Are you acquainted with
Wayne Wayland?" asked Mr.. billiard.

he was the culprit.
A telephone message summoned him
to the bank at II O'Clock the following
morning.

Sure! Well have to go to some

enough without any new ones"
1t was with no little anxiety that
he asked for the banker at the ap-
pointed hour and was shown into an
anteroom with the announcement:
