Adventures Of a Crouch
To Abolish Pain

66T WENT to the dentist this aft
ernoon and had a tooth pulled, "
said the melancholy boarder.
The dentist has a big sign in his
window saying that he extracts teeth
without pain. He doesn't do anything
of the kind. The pain wasn't as Sc
we're as it might nave been, but it
was mighty uncomfortable Just the
same There ought to be a law re-
curing dentists and other professional
men to tell the truth. If that dentist
had announced that he'd extract a
snag with a moderate amount of an
guish I'd have no complaint against
him, but he assured me that the oper-
alton wouldn't hurt at all"
You pay too much attention TO
technicalities," remarked the star
bOarder. I'VE must allow dentists
some poetic license. Tooth pull
ing, as now practiced by property
qualified men, is a mere diversion for
the patient who is old enough to re-
member the methods of a previous
generation of dentists. The practi-
TONERS are justified in claiming that
they cause no pain. They have to
make such claims to get people to
patronize them. If they admitted that
their operations did hurt to a certain
extent, people would become susDi-
ciOus at once and would 90 ahead

ache"
IF we insisted upon the absolute
truth in the announcements of DeonIe
who have something to sell. there
would be no end of trouble. I remen1-
Der, Mrs. Jiggers, that I came to this
establishment in response to an adj
vertisement written by yourself. in
which you promised your clients ali

were such a law as our melancholy
friend suggests, it might 20 hard

leave home we will do the rest.
Heavy paper and stout cord or
Irvine should be used. 1t is important
that the address of the sender appear

else on the package, the chances are
that it will find it's way back to the
sender.

The number of parcels being re-
