fate.
Not so to-day, for this is one of
the places where we can improve
on nature.
The Martinolar teeth, which are
put in the mouth without the aid
of plates or ordinary bridge work,
can only be compared to perfect,
natural teeth and, at that. il is
seldom that one sees such pretty
teeth. even when nature has tned
to do her best.
In nearly every case there is
some defect, due to ignorant dem
tai work, or disease, or because. as
we said before, nature had been
unkind when she was distributing
teeth.
1t is hardly necessary to ask YOU
II you want a set Of pretty teeth,
for there ism a man or woman on
earth but has that desire.
We invite YOU to call at our
office for free consultation and
examination of your mouth and let
us explain what we can do for YOU,

MAKE TOWN HALL SAFE

TIE TRANSCRIPT is glad that one of the
leading spirits in the New Century Club
heartily approves of its criticism upon
the dangerous condition of the very steep
stairway exit in the Town Hall.
This lady also approves Of the remedy
suggested by TIE TRANscRIPT, viz. that
one or more balustrades be placed in the
centre Of that wide and PERCEPTIONS stair
way. Once more we renew the warning
that the most trivial thing may start
panic in the audience which will send 9
crowd of men, women and children rush.
ing pell-mell down that almost straight,
up and down stairway with the inevitable
result that numbers, especially women
tripping on their dresses, will tumble head
long down, at cost OF many limbs and
likely of some lives.
When one remembers that needless
panic started by a small boy yelling fire,
caused at Connellsville just such mad
rush that killed several dozen people, it
is simply tempting Providence to allow
this stairway evil to go unremedied-that
and the other peril Of the inaOard opening
door. What have we Town Board for if
not to protect the people from just such
dangers2 The New Board is doing many
wise aud useful things to give the people
better civic Accommodations; will they not
also add this wise precautions against
possible public disaster to their other
good works? Why should any private
owner of property used for public pur-
poses, be allowed to maintain dangerous
public nuisance? What right has any one
to expose the public to any unnecessary
danger such as this? Less than year
ago only lucky chance prevented stam-
pede in the Hall filled with women and
dren.
Again the balustrade on the third floor,
leading to the gallery is in very periIous
rickety condition which may cause death.
The railing is merely hanging, so to speak
by its eyelids and anyone leaning or press
ing against it, is liable to go headlong and
break bis own or others bones. And
there is authority for saying that in such
a case the town as we'll as the building
owner, would be liable in damages for any
injury or death caused by such unsafe
stairway or balustrades, just as the town
is liable for negligent conditions on the
streets etc. that occasion injury to any
private citizen.
The ladies OF the New Century Club, ii
they please can have these things
renedied. Will they2 Or shall we await
the tragic illustration of some deadly
panic to stir US to action?
