 Spoke To Lions

Charles F. stubbs. representative of the Seaboard Coke Company, Jer- sey City, N. J.. addressed the mem bers of the Lions Club yesterday. at their weekly Jungle Feast" on the subject of "By-products of Bitumin- ous Coal" MT. Stubbs pointed to the appalling waste in the use of bi- luminous coal He said, "Seven dollars in By-products goes up our smoke stacks for every ton of soft coal burned. These products con- sists chiefly of illuminating gas, mo- tor oil. coal tar and ammonium -sul- phate. This waste can be saved by cokihg the bituminous coal and using the coke for fuel.

Il wanna go ho1ne!!'' howled the lad

I'm going to tell you about a boy of twelve who had a tooth out last Saturday. His mother and father came in with him.
 Well, when they came into the office, that lad, 12 years old, fairly howled and screamedi
 T wanna go homei" he cried. Please, please dad, let me wait till next Saturday
 But dad was firm and pulled him into our extraction room while mother waited in the reception room. The next 1 heard from the young man he came running into the reception room, shouting at the top of his voice:
 'Ma! Mama! Come here quick!" Held between his thumb and fore finger, high above his head, was the tooth we had just pulled out.
 He came to a stop before his mother, and f1ourishing the tooth in q didn't even feel it!'' A proud pause, and he added: And dad says 1 can come up again next Saturday and have those other teeth filled!'
 Laugh if you will, but most of our patients are just like this boy When they first come in they dread getting into the chair every bit as much as he did even if they don't howl as loud! And they keep wanting to put it off "'til next Saturday." like this youngster, until Friend Wife or Pain, or both drag them in.
 But, once they see for them selves that we really DO their dental work without hurting them, they throw out their chests and are brave and proud of themselves this youngster was - they forget all about that old dread and fear of the dentist chairi
 - That's why l say:
 Come up any time and talk with patients who have just come from our chairs. Let them tell you if it hurts. For-once you've sat in one of our chairs you'n be like all the rest completely satisfied.
 And we've extracted over 1OO,- 900 teeth in Bridgeport.
