We heartily agree with every word in this
article. 1t is right along the lines that we have
been preaching in our ads in this paper for many
months past. And We are proud to believe that our
ads have been the means of inducing great many
people to have their teeth fixed who otherwise
might have neglected do to so-we know that such
people have been greatly benefited by having their
teeth fixed-have had their health improved
their efficiency increased-their chances for Sue
cess and happiness literally doubled
We have told you time and again that nothing
has more direct bearing on your general health
than your teeth-because they have such an init
mate and close connection with the digestive APP
paratus. Any physician will bear out our state
ment that good digestion is absolutely essential
to good health and thorough efficiency.
Bad teeth not alone interfere with the proper
chewing of the food, but they are actual and real
producers OF viruent poisons within themselves
not to speak of being the very finest kind of a
happy home for germs of all kinds.
These poisons produced by bad teeth are COM
,muncated directly into the system when the food
comes in contact with the teeth, which all food
does and must You can imagine what an effect
this has on the stomach and digestion.

Just word about what we have to offer you
here: We have first one Of the very best equip
ped dental offices TO be found anywhere In this
section OF the country-every modern appliance
that has been invented for doing high grade dental
work will be found here
Next. we have the men who know how to use
these implements properly. Every operator in this
office is a graduate registered dentist who has
graduated from the best dental colleges, and who
has his certificate from the state dental board hang
ing right on the wall in front of his dental chair
in plain sight of all. Not only do our dentists
know their business thoroughly, but they are per
fecty willing 10 prove TO your entire satisfaction
We use the very best of materials that money
can buy. As to prices-we do such a large volume
of business here that we are able to take much
smaller profit on the individual case than offices
which do only one-third or one-haf the volume
that we do.
Now read that article at the top again-and
then make up your mind to act on IT,
II you have children in the family bring them
down and let us take look at their teeth. a very
small expense now may save bigger expense in
the future II you yourself are one of the many
who have been delaying needed dental work and
thus taking chances with your health and eff
cheney make up your mind to delay no longer
do what you KNOW YOU OUGHT TO Do
come down and let us get busy on your teeth right
away.
1t will be worth great deal more to you than
il will cost to have your teeth put into perfect
condition. And here is the place to come to have
il done.

DISTANCE
From Home Plate to First Base
is Eighty-Seven Feet
and Nine Inches.

The erroneous idea of the distance
between the home plate and first base
or. between any OF the ether sacks"
and that which separates third base
from tho home plate seems to prevail
not alone among fans. who generally
accept the Measurement as ninety feet
but also by some ground keepers.
This error caused Secretary Heydler,
OF the National league, a short time
ago to issue an order calling for. the
reconstruction, on account OF faulty
measurement, Of some of the leagues
playing diamonds. Under the rules
laid down for diamonds construc-
ton the various distances are as fol-
lows:
Home plate to first base eighty-sev-
en- feet nine inches; first to second
base lightweight feet one and half
inches; second to third base eighty
eight feet ono and a half inches and
from third base to the home plate
clghty-seven feet nine inches. The
home plate, or rather the front of it,
should be exactly flfty-seven feet one
inch from the pitchers box as the
official measurement from the inter-
sectional lines which meet at the back

The Varsity scored but three goals
