Illustrated article Through these
wooden tunnels the children make
their way to and from school in
comfort, while billiards sweep
across the snowbanks above them

Offices.

DR.. w. c. Howe has Just complet-
ed the installation in his new offices
in the Wilson building OF a complete
set of the most up TO date. sanitary,
electrically and pneumatically oper-
ated dental appliances obtainable.
Modern dentistry calls for the ap-
plicatlon OF electricity and compress
ed air in its operative, diagnostic and
therapeutic departments. They are
both factors in practicing preyenta-
tive dentistry. and no one can deny
that the future holds great promise
for the dentist who prepares himself
TO perform the necessary cavity pre-
paration and restorations with meth
ods that are painless and efficient.
Briefly described the electrical
switchboard distributes electricity to
every appliance in use in the office.

cautery, root canal drier. gutta per-
cha excavators. bleacher point, gutta

bottles and water bottle warmer.
The electric current for the opera
alton of the instruments is changed
to the proper strength and voltage
by an automatic electrical machine
known as rotary converter. which
maintains the electricity at all times
at exactly the proper pressure and
quantity. The compressed air for
the operation of the electrically
warmed air syringe, spray bottles
and blow pipe is furnished by an
automatic air compressor driven by
an electric motor which starts and
stops automatically and maintains
constant pressure in the air tank.
The new dental cabinet has all the
latest improvements to render II abb
solutely sanitary, the shelves and
tops being of white glass.
A ladies' dressing room has also
been added. and withal this office
has been equipped and arranged far
superior to that which is usually
