Now of All Times You Must Not.
Neglect Your Teeth

Whenever ~ consider how necessary it is in these
strenuous times for every one to do his BIT to the Uery
utmost of his possibilities, anything Which is aIoUed to
reduce a persons efficiency lOhen it could Just as VeH be
avoided, must be considered caretessness and negligence
of the rankesf sort.
And that decayed teeth do reduce a mans efficiency
to a most dangerous extent, there is no doubt UhateUer.
This is so weLI established noU that no one at all familiar
uvith the facts luouId eDen think of denying it. Both med
icaI and dental authority are entirely agreed on this
point.
A decayed tooth may be responsible for about as
many human ills and arrangements as any single agent.
Tiny pus sacs are often found around the roots of the de-
caying tooth. These sacs sloDly distiH, bit by bit, their
deadly poisons into the system. This poison gradually
accumuIates around some point, usually a joint and soon
suDeliing, inflammation and pain ensue. This offlction
of treatments are tried to bring relief to the unhappy
patient. Needless to say, none of the treatments is or
can be effective. The root of the trouble-Dhich in this
case is the root of the decayed tooth-musf be gotten at
and remedied, before permanent or effective relief can
be experienced.

Then there are many other things-some SER
ious, some painful, and some both serious ana
painful-that come from diseased teeth. Eye, ear,
throat, stomach and even serious diseases OF the
spine are among a few that we might mention. Bad
cases of heart trouble have also been known to
come from diseased teeth.
And stomach trouble is one OF the commoneSt
ailments that come from bad teeth. You can
easily see that the poisonS from bad teeth are
transmitted directly into the stomach as the food
comes in contact with the teeth in the process OF
mastication. II must be evident TO you that these
poisons are going to exercise a bad effect on the
stomach-that they are going to interfere and
interfere seriously with the digestive apparatus.
And there is no one thing that can bring as much
real misery to a person as to have his digestive
organs out of order. Your physician will tell you
the same thing If you will talk the matter over
with him.
Altogether, for a person who had bad teeth, TO
neglect them and let this condition continue is
about the most foolish thing that he can do.
Now. Just a word as TO what we have to offer
YOU in the way of dental service at this office. In
the first place, we have one of the largest and best
equipped dental offices in the United States. We
make this statement unreServedly and without fear
OF successful contradiction.
We occupy the entire floor on which our offices
are located. When it comes to equipment, we
have practically everything that modern science has
perfected for the better performance OF painless
dentistry. We have spared no expense in fitting
up our offices. Our only idea has been to give the
people of Seattle the very best.
Second-Every operator on our staff is a gradu-
ate registered dentist. Every one of them has his
certificate from the State Dental Board hanging
right on the wall in front of his dental chair, in
plain sight of all. This proves to you beyond the
shadow of a doubt that he knows his business,
and knows it thoroughly. 1t shows you that he
spent years of hard study under competent inStruc-
tors, and has then passed a thorough and search
ing examination before the State Dental Board as
to his knowledge and ability to practice dentistry
and do il right.
When you see this certificate you may rest as
sured that the holder of ii is a man of experience
and that your work will be done the way it ought
to be done TO give you lasting and permanent sat

3RD-PAINLESS METHODS

Our system of painless dentistry has been
brought to such a point of perfection at this office
that we are now able to guarantee to perform prac-
tically any and all kinds of dental work without
huring the patient a bit. This is a matter of big
importance to you, for possibly you are among
The many who have put off having necessary dem
tai work done on account of being afraid of being
hurt. If you are, then we tell you that 'you need
delay no longer on this account.

FREE EXAMINATION

We invite you to call at our office and let one
Of our experts give your teeth a thorough examina-
lion. He will tell you just what is needed to put
your teeth into perfect condition and also just
what the cost will be. This examination and eSti-
mate won't cost you a cent, nor will it put you
under any obligations to have work done unless
you want it. -
But for your own sake you ought not TO neglect
this important matter a moment longer than you
IAN possibly help.
Don't you think it is about time that you gave

5TH-LOWEST PRICES

Quantity regulates price. This is a fundamental
axiom of business that cannot be denied. There
fore, the fact that we do a very large volume Of
business permits us to take a smaller profit on the
ndividua patient than an office which does only
one-third to one-half of the volume that we do can
possibly afford to take. So, when you compare
our prices with others you will find that ours arel
the lowest, especially considering the fact that we
turn out nothing but the very highest grade of

children but SIS e ne is making no
compulsory allotment In order to Sc
cure the supplementary government
allowance. The amounts OF family
allowances paid by the government
to supplement these allotments are
not changed by the amended law.
Beginning with July pay, the Blu
reaU of War Risk Insurance will
handle only the allotments which
carry also family allowances, and
then only in the amounts required
by law to support such allowances.
That is, henceforth the bureau will
handle allot5nents Of only two
amounts, $15 or $40.
The excess allotments and allot-
ments to persons not entitled to al
lowances will be handled by the war
department, navy department, ma
rine corps or coast. guard, according
to the branch Of service the man Is
in. If a man desires to continue an
allotment which under the new plan
can no longer be made through the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, he
must make the allotment through
the appropriate officer in charge of
his accounts and it will be paid
through one of the officers Of the
above named departments.
This new system which was put
into effect with the approval Of the
war and navy departments, will
simplify the handling Of allotments
and allowances and speed up the de-
livery Of government checks to those
most in need.
The government leaves it to his
own discretion for the man to see
that his folks at home receive the
same pay as formerly. If such action
is necessary the home service sec
lions will relieve hardships resulting
from delay or, decrease Of monthly
checks while the new system Is be-
ing started.
