been watching and waiting patiently

run at the 44th street theatre, New
York, at top prices. They knew 1t

that the prices would not be quite so
high as those charged during the met
ropolitan run, but it is safe to gamble
that none expected to see it at the
regular prices that have been in vogue
at the Plaza for some time past. It's
true, nevertheless, and. the vrowding
and jamming that will surely ensue
will be sufficient proof that 1t is APP

THE LEGEND OF THE
STAR IN THE EAST

At Christmas time one turns with
pleasure to the old stories connected
with the birth Of Christ. One of these
tells what became of the "Star in the
East.n
The Wise Men of the east sleep in
Cologne in splendid shrine in one of
the most beautiful cathedrals in the
world. But the star that gided them
on their wondrous, journey. nineteen
hundred years ago, lies deep in the
bottom of a well; folk, say. For on
that night, after it had paused to shine
full brightly upon the cave at Bethle-
hem where Mary's baby lay, God told
it that its work was done, and bade it
rest forever. Then it dropped, dia-
mond glory, into the well of a nearby
garden, where through the limpid wat
er, it CLEANS to this day. But only the
eyes of pure-souled maiden, and one
who loves the Lord truly may see
where it lies.
In the water of this same well, Mary
used to battle the Christ Child.

THE NEW STATUS OF DENTISTRY

The signing by President Wilson OF
the Bill passed by congress granting
to members of the United States army
dental corps tine same rank and pay
and privileges as enjoyed by members
of the United States army medical
corps, marks a new era in the history
of the dental profession. Henceforth
dentistry must, Of necessity, occupy an
altogether new status in the publ.
mind By this act congress has put the
seal of its endorsement upon dentistry
as coordinate part of the healing art
and has officially recognized the equal
ity of the medical and dental profess
sions.
No longer is the dentist simply a
mechanic occupied with the preserving
of, and restoring of, certain isolated
parts of the anatomy in the mouth. The
vision of the progressive modern dentist
with regard to his work has become i'm
measurably expanded. While still Civ
ing attention to permanent, efficient
and artistic restorations, the work of
modern dentistry embraces therapeutic
considerations and measures for the
combat of disease throughout the body
and the conservation of general good
health.
The public is beginning dimly to
comprehend that the care of the teeth
and mouth hygiene mean much more
and are of vastly greater Importance
than it has any idea of. 1t is begin
ming to regard the dentist in new
light and to recognize his services as
something necessary not only for com
fort, good looks and mastication eff
ficiency, but also for relief from the
ravages of disease and for the preser-
walton of life itself.
