Dentists of the Northwestern Indiana
Dental Association yesterday exercised
their tooth-pulling right arms IN base

one Hammond dentist skinned the
knee he uses to hold his patients in the
chair and there were other minor cas-
ualties but on a whole it was a success

Whenever a fellow dentist met with
a painful mishap in the games they
were playing all the rest Of the dem
lists would laugh and say: 1T didn't
hurt US bit"
The dentists felt entirely at home
when the bills were presented at the
resort restaurants which charge $500
and $3.50 for chicken dinners. They
would no doubt have appreciated hav-
ing a little ether in the near beer but
the proprietors of the places lacked the
Belasco temperament which would have
told them that a little anaesthetic was
necessary 10 properly entertain g-e--s
Of dentists. There was a good deal of
growing at the dinner table. So many
dentists have poor teeth. you know.

by DR. Leonard j. Moran. y farmer

contest.
Prizes included complete sets of mag
azines published in 1909 to be put on
