EVOLUTIONARY CHANGES

F. J. Dyer. Washington cor
respondent writes:
1T has become more evident,
in the last two weeks, that indus
try is slackening and that period
of economic adjustment is at hand,
even if there were no political in
references just now. The high
cost of living of the last four years
and especially of the last yenr, has
produced economic results that
can no longer be ignored indus
trisIly. An industrial evolution is
under way and is upsetting the
calculations of Wall Street, as we
believe. We have far too many
middlemen small merchants and
dealers. These are being elimi-
mated with friction and great indi-
vidual hardships. These men, in
the past, have invested their saw
ings in securities. They are not
only ceasing to invest, but they
are selling much that they have
held"

looks and feels natural. In

that your closest friend could
not detect it.
Our instruments are thor
oughly up-to.date and clean,
and allow us to do work with
out phln. You need no longer
dread the dental chair, as the
