When started practicing
twenty-seven years ago. only
n few people had their teeth
looked after by dentists.
Nearly everybody waited
until an aching tooth got so
bad that he had to go to a
dentist and have it pulled
out. That was about all
there was to dentistry for
the average man or woman.
Something was wrong. Mil
lions of people knew nothing
of the benefits of dentistry.
They were iynorant of the

had been taught in college that dem

a dentists first thought should be to
benefit the great public and make the
health of the masses better. ! was en-
couraged to go on with my street talks
when | found that the more good / did
for the people, the more good ! did for
myself. Business grew so fast that |
had to get other dentists to help care
for the patients. To properly look after
such large practice, had to put my
affairs on business basis, and so |
came to see that dentistry was as much
n business as it was profession. The
college did not teach this, but my ex-
perience did. There was no escape
from it. If dentistry was to be en-
ioyed by everybody, its cost must be
brought down to a point where every
body could afford it. Money must be
saved wherever possible.
As time passed, a.system was devel-
oped by which lot of saving was eff
fected There was nothing very smart
about this system. 1t was just COM

the system was right, for was giving
satisfaction and my business was grow

Talking on the street did not go far
enough. Only few people could be
reached that way, and so | took up
newspaper advertising. The business
grew faster. The growth was steady
and sure, for the system was bringing
good dentistry to the many, where
only few people could afford it before.

Soldiers OF Canada
May Come Home By
Panama Canal Route

Winnipeg, Jan. 25.+-1t is considered
probable that the Canadian militia
department will pursue a policy of
returning many Canadian troops from
the fighting front bound for military
districts west Of Winnipeg, by boat
via the Panama canal. It was stated
al the department of the government
that the voyage was a very lengthy
one. Whether boats would be available
to carry all the western troops on
such a long trip is under discussion.
The Canadian Pacific railway steamer,
Empress of Asia. is now on her way
from Liverpool to Vancouver, B. c.,
via the Panama canal. with Thousands
of Canadians on board; previous to
the war this liner was on the Pacific
route and it was desired to return her
to her former route, and the military
authorities took advantage of her sail
ing to send home western Canadian
troops. It is likely when the other lin.
er of the Canadian Pacific railway, the
Empress of Russia, which is engaged
IN the Atlantic service at present, il
returned to the Pacific, she will also
be laden with Canadian soldiers of the
west.

CONSIDER OPERATING
ANOTHER RAILWAY

Winnipeg, Jan. 25.-According to
announcement the Grand Trunk Pa
cific railway system, from Winnipeg
to the Pacific coast, will 1901 be taken
over and operated as part Of the Ca
madam government system. The road
will be incorporated into the Canadian

British Columbia lines, which runs out
of Edmonton, Alta, $50 miles into the
Peace River country, will also come
under government operation. This
will mean hat the Canadian National
railway will control the largest rail-
way system in the world, with a mile
age Of approximately 10000 miles.
The National at present operates a.
gan controls $50 miles. the Hudson

L,.ylAN SCHOOL
{. IS RE0PENED
Many Young Red Bloods
Enroll at Bismarck 1nsti-
tuition of Learning.

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 25.-The re-
juvenated Bismarck Indian school,
which reopened January 1, after w
years idleness, under the management
of Supt. o. Padgett, formerly princi-
pal Of a. herokee school in Oklahoma.
now has an enrolment of 80 young
Indians from .Berthold and Standing
Rock reservation, and there are rs
applications for admission from chill
dren who cannot be accommodated
with the present facilities of the in
stitution.
The Bismarck school has always
been very popular with the Sioux Of
Ventres and Mandans of Berthold.
There is a kinship with some in the
fact that the school is located On. the
mighty Missouri, about which the
tribal life of these Indians has CEN
tered for centuries. The school is also
within easy access to all these tribes,
who make a point of visiting their
who lake great pride in their progress.
New Buildings Planned.
Commissioner Sells, through Rep.
member Of the committee On Indian
affairs of the house, has been inter-
ested in the. possibilities offered by
the Bismarck school, and the present
year promises to be one of unusual
development. There are planned thEee
new buildings boys dormitory, a
dining room and kitchen and en-
ployes' quarters, to be constructed
during the coming summer. This will
greatly increase the capacity of the
school and will enable it to accommo-
date scores of young people who can
not now be admitted.
Superintendent Padgett, although a
comparatively young man, has had
eleven years successful educational
experience among the Cherokees and
Choctaws Of Oklahoma and the Chip
pewas Of White Earth reservation in
Minnesota. This is his first superin-
tendency, and he comes to- Bismarck
with an ambition to make this institu-
ton a real success.
Buildings Repaired. =
More than $4,000 was, spent during
the fall3in repairing The. heating plant
damaged by the explosion Of a yeal
ago and in general rehabilitation. The
present buildings, as far as they go
are now. in good condition. Superin-
tendent Padgett's chief immediate
difficulty is in securing good teachers
There is an excellent opening at the
school for teachers who are interest.
ed in Indian work.
