Highest Class Dentistry
With a Binding Guarantee

We practice modern dentistry in
every sense of the Word.
Every operator in this office is a
graduate registered dentist, Whose
certificate from the state dental board
hangs right on the ,DaU in front of
his dental chair in plain sight of all.
This certificate is proof to you that
the man Who holds it is a thoroughly
competent dentist, and that he has
proven his competency by passing a
thorough and searching examination
before the board of dental examiners.
OUR PRICES ARE THE VERY
LOWEST consistent With the best
class of dentistry. This is made pos
siblc by the fact that We do very
large Voiun,e of business. IL stands to
reason that we can afford to take a
smaller profit on the individual pa
tienf than an office Which does only
one-haH or one-thrd of the uoiun,e
that We do can possibly afford to take.

This road is of vital interest 10

Properly organized and directed
the combined weight of those in
tercsted will be irresistible and
this very important part Of our
State Highway system will soon lie
open for travel.
The govern dent appropriation
to Nevada for the building and
betterment of public roads is one
million and a half dollars. l! seems
as though part of this money
should be devoted to building about
ten miles Of road OH tie west side
of Walker Lake. 1t would not
only be an open road all the year

What if we croak? The line has not

Anyway, living is only joke.
So, fill the cup high and never say

They sang on their camions thund-

Meuse to the Somme, ranting they

Whatever the sector, they're always

Fighting for right, cursing with

Carousing in camp until late in the

TO PLACE BLAME FOR
SOLDIERS TREATMENT

WASHINGTON, d. C.--Lieut. Col.
Samuel T. Ansell, who recently re-
tired as acting advocate general OF
the army, and who has attracted
nationwide attention thru his de-
nunciation of the severity of court
martial proceedings during the war,
has been retained as counsel for the
subcommittee of the special COM
mittee investigating expenditures in
the war department which has under
taken an inquiry into the alleged
mistreatment Of soldiers abroad.
Representative Royal Johnson,
chairman of the subcommittee, and
who temporarily retired from the
house to serve in the army overseas,
is responsible for the selection OF Col.
Ansell, and believes that his connec-
ton with the committee will assure
the public of thoro and impartial
inquiry into the disciplinary meas
ures. practiced abroad, and about
which there has been such bitter
complaint by returning soldiers.
Chairman johnson is particularly
anxious, If the charges are shown to
