NO PAIN OPERATING

Painless dentistry in the beginning was not taken seriously; every dental fakir in the country claimed to be a painless dentist, and since they knew nothing of painless dentistry, of course. maltreated their patients and made this great science a joke, a thing to be laughed at and ridiculed. In Bos- ton when Dr. King first advertised his system of painless dentistry he had at least twenty five initiating dental fla kirs to contend with. One by one they dropped out of existence, because they could not make good their false claims. until today he stands alone as the one painless dentist in that city, and, in fact, in Eastern America, who practices painless dentistry as n science and who really performs all operations without pain.
 Full set teeth $500 and up with the .NafuraI Gums." gold crowns x5.OO, bridge work $500, painless. pure gold filling $f GO up, other Billings soc, pnfn- less extra fion free when sets or dered. All work guaranteed.

 The lost teeth of q man or woman can now be restored by the science of dentistry in such q manner that it is impossible, under ordinary circum- stances, to detect the restored teeth from the original or natural ones. The Restoration Method is not one of artificial plates, crowns or bridges that undesirable artfficiality is done away with--and there is no notice able evidence of the dentists work in your mouth. Your restored teeth seem to grow out of your gums just as do your natural teeth. It is wonderful improvement over the old method of replacing lost teeth with false ones. Dr. King does his Restoration work at a consistently low price. Before hav- ing any teeth extracted see Dr. King about naturally and painlessly restor- ing your teeth. It Pays.

Fish Can't Get Above Dam.

State Fish Commissioner Meehan was
at Mccall Ferry and made personal in
spection of the situation as regards the
shad not being able to get above the dam.
This is the spawning season for the shad,
and for week or more past thousands of
shad have come up the river, seeking the
favorite spawing grounds in the head
waters. The dam has blocked their
progress, and visitors to the place state
that the shad collect in great numbers
below the large concrete dam. The fish
ermen some time ago started an agitation
over this very problem and sought re-
course to the law to force the company to
provide runways for the shad. These
runways have not been provided, and no
shad have been above the dam.-Quarry-
vile Sun.

STORM.
Buildings Struck and Several Head
Ct Livestock Killed.
DAMAGE in VARIOUS SECTIONS.

Saturday evenings storm was one Of
unusual severity in some portions Of the
county. The rainfall was heavy in this
immediate vicinity but little damage done
as compared to other sections. In the
Third and Fourth districts, however, the
full force of the storm seems to have been
felt, the public roads being badly wash
ed oats crop damaged and much havoc
wrought by lightning.
Near Elkton the dwelling on the farm
owned by State Road Commissioner John
M. Tucker and tenanted by Reese George
was struck by lightning and greatly
damaged, several Of the inmates being
stunned, but not seriously injured. At
Cherry Hill the general store of A. I.
Abernathy was struck and the building
fred, but hard work by the neighbors
extinguished the flames before much
damage was done. The barns on the farm
of George Ricketts, and on the farm of
John Gilpin, both close to Elkton, were
struck and damaged, while near Lewis
vile an outbuilding on the farm Of George
w. Biles was struck Five cows stand
ing in field on the farm Of E. ?.
Mahoney. near Pleasant Hill, were kill
ed, and on the farm of T. Frank McClery,
near Fair Hill, COW and horse were
killed.
The barn on the farm of Howard G.
Wilson. near Oxford, was struck and
burned, together with a large portion Of
the hay crop that had just been stored
therein from the present harvest. The
loss is partially covered by insurance.
At Pivot Bridge the lighthouse on the
canal was struck, and every pane of glass
shattered. The light was extinguished,s
but strange to say the heavy glass lamp
chimney was not broken.
Near Cecilton the barn on William
Luthringer's farm was struck and a pile
of empty bags ignited. The fire was dis
covered in time to prevent serious loss.

winning both was due to the great work
of pitcher Hoffecker, who despite the heat
and double duty imposed upon him,
proved himself a tower of strength and
was steadest at critical stages, pulling out
of tight places with colors flying.
Bennett, Aberdeen's crack twirler, was
given his bumps in the morning game,
when the home team rolled up more than
a dozen hits.
But three hits were secured off Cage in
the afternoon, but his wildness, cost him
the game. Both teams mixed little

ROAD DRAG MEETING
Enthusiastic Meeting Held Here
On Monday And Demon
stratlon Given.
SECTION SELECTED FOR TRIAL.

A meeting was held at the MIDLAND
JOURNAL Office on Monday in the interest
of the use of the split-loe road drag. Mr..
Hines, the recently appointed road engi-
neer, was present and met committee
appointed by the Cecil Farmers club to
advocate the adoption of the drag on the
dirt roads of the county, and number of
other representatives men of the district
were in attendance, including County
Commissioner Pierce and the Sixth dis
trict road supervisor, c. ]. Davis.
The extremely bad condition of roads
was discussed and the merits of-the split
log drag extolled by those who had some
knowledge on the subject. Mr.. Hines
twas favorably impressed with the sugges-
tions made, among which were that the
work of road mending should be system
itized and the old haphazard piecemeal
method be abandoned. The motion pre-
vailed that the engineer be requested to
inaugurate the use of the drag on the road
from Battle Swamp to Calvert and on any
other roads wherever practicable as soon
as weather conditions were favorable
to its use. "A practical demonstration of
the drag was given during the afternoon
by Stanton Tyson on the road north of
town beyond Hunters mill and all pres
ent at the meeting drove out to witness
the operation. The drag's efficiency was
clearly shown, although the long neglect
of repair on the road made some prelim-
mary shaping up to the roadbed necessary
for best results. Mr.. Tyson was author
lied to put the road in the best condition
possible at this late season, preparatory to
more effective work in the early spring.
| Mr.. Hines was driven over other roads
in this section. including the macadam
road between Rising Sun and Pennington
which was shown to be badly in need of
repairs. 1t was decic ed to apply top
dressing and mix it with oil as soon as the
necessary material could be procured.
A committee from the Seventh district
called upon the engineer on Saturday,
advocating a gravel road and reduction
of grade between Battle Swamp and Port
Deposit.
