REASONABLE PRICES

You will find that our prices are the very lowest
consistent with the highest quality of workmanship
and materials. We are able to tell you this, and
you will find it SO on account of the very large
volume OF business that we do 1t is funda-
mental OF business that quantity regulates price to
certain extent. We do large volume, therefore
It stands to reason that we can afford to take

BEST EQUIPMENT
Our equipment is second to none. When
we fitted up these offices we spared neither time
nor expense to give the people of Seattle the very

better performance of painless dentistry will be
found here.
PAINLESS METHODS
We have brought our system of painless dem
tistry to such point of perfection that we are
now able to guarantee to perform practically any
and all kinds of dental work without hurting the
patient bit.
This is a matter of great importance to you. .
Many people have put off having necessary dem

would De very painful to have the work done If
you are among this number we tell you now that
you need delay on this account no longer.

needed to be done and just what the cost will be to
put your teeth into perfect condition. This ex-

These pus sacs distil most virulent poisons into
the system. These poSons gather at some point,
usually around a joint. Swelling, pain and inflam-
nation soon ensue This condition is usually dag
nosed as rheumatism" You can easily see just
how Intellectual any local treatment to the infected
part can be. The only way to permanently cure
this condition, of course, is to 60 right to the root
of the matter and fix the infected tooth or teeth as
the case may be. Other favorite points of attack
are the eyes, the ears, the throat the heart, and
even the spine.
These days every one owes il to his country, to
his family, to himself, to be in position to do the
greatest possible amount of work-n other words,
TO be the nearest possible to 100 per cent efficient.
That means the best possible health. If you have
bad teeth you most certainly cannot enjoy the best
possible health. Therefore, if you have teeth that
need attention, il is very plainly your duty to have
them fixed up at once.
Now, just a word as to what we have to offer
you at this office in the way of dental service.
GRADUATE REGISTERED DENTISTS
We offer you at this office the services of high
grade graduate registered dentists men of the high
est standing in the dental profession. Every oper-

see it.

BIRTHPLACE OF TANK

Birmingham, Eng, April pa lit.
tie village in the Birmingham district
has the distinction of being the
birthplace of the tank, that terrible
engine of war which has done such
effective work in British offensives
and which is to be found in every
theatre Of war where British troops
are fighting.
A wagon manufacturing company,
with many factories scattered over
England, was entrusted with the con-
struction of the first tank and they
chose their factory in this midland
village to do the work, well out OF
sight of prying eyes. The factory
which, before the war, was engaged
in railway equipment manufacturing,
is now greatly enlarged and still
growing and engaged in manufacture
ing tanks, which are turned out much
as are standardized automobiles in
America With the exception of the
engines, every part needed in the
construction of a tank is manufac-
tured by this company and thous-
ands of workmen and women are en-
gagged in the work.
Starting in one of the great shops
one sees the parts being made. and
then on through a series of shops
until the completed article leaves
the last shop to be taken charge OF
by a crew of naval officers and
their assistants
These latter put the tanks through
the most severe tests, such as climb
ing almost perpendicular hills, wal
lowing through mud, and even at
tempting to climb concrete inclines.
Those which stand the tests are
driven back over the fields to the
railroad, where they are taken on
flat cars to be taken to the seaboard
and thence to the front. The load
ing operation is completed in few
minutes and soon train is made up
and the tanks leave their birthplace,
only to return should they meet with
some lesser misfortune of war.

The new HOUSE

New York, April 30.-Isn't it
strange that in these very strenuous

hopes are centered on our boys ''over

book, play or poem that is light or
sweet and wholesome, and absolutely

thing that keeps us sane. At any
event the other night | went to a
play that was perfectly enchanting;
a bit unreal maybe, but that was part
of its charm. And the costumes in
the play! They, too. were sweet
and like a breath of spring. Simple,
oh yes, but so refreshingly, well,
natural They were not startling;
rather narrow skirts, short sleeves,
tunics, all the features that we have
stamped with the year 1918. But
there was this about them, you
simply could not forget them. They
were dresses that you would love to
wear yourself.
One was a corn colored Georgette
crepe; there were two widths of the
crepe, gathered at the waist, and
falling to the bottom of the hem of
the foundation skirt. These widths
were not scanned on the side, but
were allowed to hang as floating
panels. Above the twelve inch hem
were five two inch tucks. Around
the waist was lovely soft satin
ribbon, orchid colored. tied in huge
bow on the left side, and then falling

down in cascade effects to the hem
of the skirt The waist has one of
those straight across necks with tiny
pin tucks, and the sleeves were very
long and full with a double ruffle of
the same crepe at the lower edge.
On the outside of the arm above the
wrist the sleeve was gathered up,
sleeve.
There were sleeveless jackets of
various colors and marvellous sport
skirts, striped, plain and plaid. In
deed it was veritable revel of
simple summer styles.
There is something awfully ro-
mantle about cape. The long folds
make for mystery. and the conceal
ing yet revealing lines and sugges-
lions of sleeves appeal to the love of
adventure in all of us. This year
the cape has returned to its own.
There are military capes, with all
the swagger of martial music and
flags; there are practical blue serge
capes with sensible collars; and there
are crafty little affairs of satin with
bewitching Innings. Sometimes the
capes are draped on one side, with
make-believe sleeve, achieved by
the way the long pointed end is
thrown over the wrist. Sometimes
they are coats in the front with
belts, and real sleeves coming
through the long Sits.
There was once a great artist who
talked and preached the beauty OF
the commonplace. We here in Amer
lea have to a certain extent made
that our symbol We are beautify-
ing our commonplace, and glorious

house that a woman loves to do.
Now we have changed all that. Our
house dresses are just as plain and

A woman always feels her best and
dose her best when she knows she

psychology of women. So we, in do

the fact into consideration, and we
have house dresses that are in them

And isn't it ideal for the work dress?
Somehow it seems to stand for
America, and her efficiency, even
in little things.
