FINE MUSIC IS PLANNED FOR
 CHAUTAUQUA

If music could always be musically good and still, in varying degrees even, within the reach and enjoyment of practically all people, there would be gain and pleasure both of which are sometimes missed. The Chautau- qua program this year seems to ap- proximate in a rather exceptional way to this legitimate. and varied interest through it's musical features.
 Tuesday, March l6th, will open with a concert by the Boston Male Quintet in the afternoon, at which Elsie Mae Gordon, a reader of dialect pieces, will be heard The men of the quintet are soloists of reputation and their work together is remarkably fine as well as popular. They are heard in a fuller program Tuesday evening.
 The second chief day of music will be Friday, the 18th. Both afternoon and evening Sergei Adamsky, the young Russian tenor, will sing oper- atic numbers and Russian, Spanish and other folk songs; Harriet Case Lyric soprano, of New York, a young singer of peculiarly charming person ality and style as we'll as the possessor of a clear, limpid voice. will be heard i; and with these, Anna Eichhorn, vio- inist, and Edna Sheppard, piano so- loiSt and accompanist

DIR. BELLS VERDICT

The following taken from article appearing recent ly the Journal of the American Medical Assocaion quoting Dr. George Foster Bell, attending surgeon of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.
 The three Ts indispensable to physical diagnosis the three s to rudmentary education And the three T selected by pr. Bell areTHE TEETH the tonsls and toxema intestinal poisoning But the most important of these hreehe that Dr. Bell lays the greatest stress is-THE TEETH. He states that examination the teeth should ncude-1 inspection of the mouth-(2) Ex of the gums-and-(3) X-Ray of all teeth, dead alive pivots, arches and bridges.
 Dr. Bell tells of two very interesting eases to illustrate the relation between mouth infection and eyesgh The first clinic patient with inflammation of the iris i'll each treatment while there 14 badly decayed teeth removed The patients recovery rapid that four the hospital He gained 14 pounds in weight the end of nine weeks and reganed normal sight in both eyes

Yankee Dentist Discovers Reason For Failing Eyght to Be From Thursdays Issue of the Bridgeport Telegram.

In Thursdays issue of The Telegram this article appeared! And this is not the first instance where the cause of GOOD TEETH has been made a health stand by a Bridgeport news
 paper. Recently the Bridgeport Times printed a story showing how the dental clinic of one of the New Jersey State Hospitals had practically restored the mental powers of 72S9 supposedly insane people of that state in 1919 by dental attractions The
 press of the country is repeatedly taking up many columns of white space to call the attention of the pub lie to the importance of keeping teeth in good condition.
 The Bridgeport Telegram says:
 GOOD TEETH AND GO o D HEALTH ARE ALMOST SYNONY- NOUS TERMS. HOW SELDOM
 YOU FIND ONE WITHOUT THE
 OTHER!
 GOOD HEALTH and GOOD TEETH go hand in hand. Unless you enjoy
 GOOD TEETH it's 100 to 1 that you are not enjoying GOOD HEALTH And if you are not in the best of health-there is something radically wrong and needs attention. Going to
 the family medicine chest and paw ; ing over lot of dusty half7flled bot ties doesn't mean that you are i searching for GOOD HEALTH. If you would take that time to go to the
 dentist-a reliable dentist-instead of
 placing so much faith in so-called family medicine "cure-alls" you l might learn some very interesting 1 news-news that is only obtainable
 from the story divu1ged by the X-Ray which makes the gums give up their i secrets.
 Everything you own of a mechan- ! ical nature-the vacuum cleaner, the | electric irou the electrical washer, motor car, bicycle, etc, get out of kill 1 ter every so often.. WHY? Parts i wear out and need attention. Sup 1 pose you find a tiny leak in the gas ] pipe Would you put off fixing it? i Suppose you found a drop-an-h hour leak in the water pipe. Would you | put off repairing it? OF COURSE NOT! THEN-wHY PUT OFF THE H ATTENTION THAT YOUR TEETH NEED? YOUR TEETH MAKE OR
 BREAK HEALTH! SURELY YOU
 DON'T DESIRE TO RECKON ILL HEALTH. WELL - THAT'S FIX. r ACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING | WHEN YOU LET YOUR TEETH GC | UNATTENDED.

EXAMINE YOUR TEETH FREE. Perhaps they don't need attention. Such an examination would mean that you were nothing out if this was the case. On the other hand suppos- ing such an examination did disclose needed attention-isn't it cheaper for you to have that work done today in stead of waiting? To wait is to invite larger dental bills - because the longer you wait-the worse the con- dition grows. To wait is to invite pain and suffering, AND-a general pois- oning of the system. Get that NEEDED ATTENTION at once. Don't put it off another day.
 Now to use the dentist to perform this work for you! Experience must serve you in picking out your dentist. For l } years we have been practicing successfully in Bridgeport. This places us in a position to do your work for you-to perform this work painIessly for you carefully, thor oughly - and at small cost We must keep our operators busy.
