FINEST DENTAL WORK
AT LOWEST PRICES

There is no finer dental work done
anywhere than by the Atlanta Dental
Parlors, vet prices here are so low as
to astonish those who have been pay
ing the usual dentists charges.
This is due partly to an immense
volume of practice that makes possi-
BILE a very small profit on each indi-
vidual case, partly to the very fine.
modern equipment and partly to the
fact that this establishment wishes to
make lasting friends of its patients.
Thousands of pleased patients are
walking, talking advertisements for the
Atlanta Dental Parlors. They would
not send their friends here if they had

After spending some weeks in the hills, Joe kermend returned to Iditarod and has resumed the practice of his profession.

WONDERS OF
 THE WIRELESS

The value of the wireless system as means of intercommunication, and its superiority to the old sys- lem of telegraphy, is hardly appre- ciated or understood by the general public. The local station last Tues day got ill touch with vessels at sea, and with ports on the Pacific coast as far apart as Seward, Alaska, and Astoria, Ore.
 About 10 o'clock pm. the local station got in touch with the steamer Mariposa, then at Seward, and talked with that vessel for two hours. Then they connected with the Victoria, 10 hours out from Nome. A dozen or more steamers were heard: some of them working with Astoria, Ore, others with Friday Harbor, Wash., which is 50 miles north of Seattle. Most of the naval shore stations were heard during the evening, and four mes sages were copied from Japanes liner due to arrive at Seattle five days later! The Canadian govern ment station at Prince Rupert, E c. was frequently heard working with Victoria, B. c. Iu addition to the foregoing, certain unknown sta tlons, using a strange code, and supposed to be Russian telefuuken stations, were heard.
 Work of this kind is not unusual during the winter months, but it seems nothing short of marvellous to tue lay mind that such things can be possible.
