GOVERNOR WILL
 GO TO CAPITAL

Governor Hunt yesterday accepted the invitation of Secretary Lane to meet with other governors and state officials in Washington on April for the purpose of making plans to further the exclusive use of the English lan- guage by all the people of every state as a matter of patriotism and to aid in Americanizing the country.
 On his trip back to Arizona, the gov ernor probably will stop at Camp Fun ston for a visit with the many Arizona boys at that big cantonment, it was asserted at the state house yesterday. Practically all of the Arizona boys who have been draftedsinto the service are at that camp.

The penalty for neglected teeth is severe. The verdict of nature is cer- tain and the punishment comes in the form of the most acute pain, certain diseases of the body that follow as a direct result of bad teeth, and general i'll health such as poor digestion, un- der nourishment and headaches.
 One owes it to himself and his coun- try in these strenuous times to keep his body up to its highest efficient mark. This is not possible if any part of his bodily machinery is not in a healthy condition. This reason alone is sufficient to prompt one to imme- diately seek the services of compe- tent dentist
 Neglected teeth is the cause of that dread disease, pyorrhea. A disease that loosens the teeth and seriously affects the gums. Blind abscesses are often present, causing untold bodily pains and nerve disorders. What is now a simple task of filling may become by neglect a painful. loathsome disease of the mouth.
 It is impossible to impress on you too seriously the necessity of seeking the advice of competent dentist, if you have any signs of tooth trouble. What may be matter of a few dol s4fs today, would be considerably in 1 creased by delay.
 In recommending myself as your dentist, I am doing so, conscientiously 1 believing that I will give satisfaction. After graduating from a Dental Col | lege of high standing I spent many years in the practice of the profession. This long, practical training has given the skill and experience to take care of your teeth, put them in order. and prepare you to live a healthy, efficient life. Make it point to attend to your teeth today. A dental nurse is always

Funeral of John A. PIattner

The funeral of John A. Plattner, who died last Wednesday at his residence, 1416 East Monroe street, will be held at o'clock this after noon from the J. T. Whitney under taking chapel. Burial will be in Greenwood cemetery. The services will be in charge of the Elks lodge with which MT. Platner was affiliated for many years. The funeral arrange ments were withheld until yesterday pending the arrival here of son, Harry Plattner, of Chicago.
 Mir. Plattner had lived in Phoenix for about 8 years. Many years ago he conducted a harness establishment in this city. but more recently he had given his attention to property interests. He was seventy-six years old and had a host of friends and acquaintances acquired during his long residence here.

JUDGE PARKER
 LAID AT REST

The funeral of Judge Prosper P Parker, held yesterday afternoon at o'clock from the Merryman under taking chapel, was probably one of the most impressive held in this city in many years. While flags floated at half-mast from the city hall building and the court house, friends and fraternal order associates gathered about the bier of the be- loved one and paid mute homage to the memory of the departed.
 The casket rested among a bower of floral offerings, sent from friends and the orders with which Judge Parker was affilited and of which until recently he was a most active member. The Knights Templar, fifty strong, acted as an escort of honor, while there were large delegations from the Blue Lodge, and the Royal Arch Masons. The Mystic Shrine was not represented as such, but no small portion of those who turned out with the other Masonic orders were also Shriners.
 The services at the undertaking chapel were simple, but impressive. They were in accordance with the ritual of the Christian Science church. A solo by Mrs. Arthur Gibbons Hulett was particularly fitting.
 The services at the grave were strictly Masonic. With Past Grand Master Frank Thomas in charge, the impressive ritual of the Masonic fraternity was employed before the remains were finally consigned to their last resting place. Each of the three Masonic orders furnished the pallbearers. For the Commandery Thomas Armstrong, Jr., and F. J Bennitt were chosen. For the Chap ter, Tillman Ozias and Dr. E. Holm were selected, and for the Blue Lodge s. J. Doster and A. w. Galpin, acted
 Probably no more impressive indi- cation of the high esteem in which Judge Parker was held could have been found than in the wealth o1 floral offerings and the large at tendance of citizens generally.
