We invite you to call-one of our
experts will gladly give your teeth a
thorough examination and tell you just
what is needed to put them into per-
feet condition.
And when we say expert, we mean
just that. Every operator in this office
has his certificate from the state dem
tai board hanging right on the wall in
front of his dental chair, in plain sight
of all.
SO you are assured of getting high
class, intelligent service when you
come here.
We have ever regarded our repu.
tation as the most valuable asset thai
we possess. We realize that if any
thing should destroy our plant that
could easily be replaced, but once let
us lose the confidence of the pubic
that il has taken us a long time 10
build up and establish and our plight
would be sorry one, indeed.
If you are in need of dental service
we shall appreciate the opportunity OF
consulting with you about it.

Somewhere in France, Nov. 10.-In
the battle raging today in the American

only was its black infantry and ma
chine gun units up at the front, in the

brigade of field artillery was on the line,
behaving like veterans, laying down a
barrage for the infantry that was mar
velously effective, and they established
q reputation which has been made by
but few, among French, British or
Americans, Of laying down 3 barrage
that did not 'entrap, and fatally so, their
own men. ~
This has been glorious day for the
black soldiers. The fighting is still on,
and I have just received the intimatioR
that the casualty toll may be heavy,
dcpressingly 80, for Metz, and the sector
around about it, is strongly fortified by
the Germans, and resistance determined.
Metz is considered by experts to be the
strongest fortified city in the world, al
most, if not so, as impregnable as the
Notifications Of the Dardanelles. But
the Americans are hammering away at
it, and only the signing Of the armistice
terms by the Germans, by eleven o. clock
