Back in Cairo, we drove through
some of the older parts of the city
streets indescribable-a visited the
church Abu Sirga, said to be the finest
there. but it was rather dark when we
got there; there was no illumination
except from a piece of candle carried
by the caretaker, so, in spite Of some
beautiful inlaid and carved work on
the screens separating the church into
three parts. the impression left on
M was of great squalor, especially
as the alleys we walked through to
get to it were extremely dirty, and
filled with distressing sights in the
shape of blind children and dreadful,
helpless old age. Below the church is
a sort Of small cave to which we de-
scended by means of narrow stone
stairs, which is shown as the place
where Mary and Joseph hid when they
fled to Egypt with the young Child.
1t is dreadful place, small and dark
and dirty, with about foot of water
covering the floor.

Guisep- pc Carbone was denied admission be- cause he had not found time to learn to read. He said he had been too busy. He is the father of eight children. Connie Lewis and Edward Langdon appeared as his character witnesses, but thep wills have to pro Wide him with a tutor betare he can make the grade.
 A native of Scotland who bought s2,000 worth of Liberty bonds, was admitted. He was Ernest Scott Ridgefield, reputed wealthy.
 Rosy Socci Italian, and John Sar- anto. Greece, were denied citizenship because they had avoided the draft. using the fact that they were aliens, to keep themselves out of the army.

YOU CAN HAVE BETTER TEETH
 THAN THOSE YOU HAVE NOW

A woman came in last week asked for me. When I came out of my office she said to me
 Doctor. I want to tell you how happened to come up. here. and then l want you to see what you can do for me-"
 The story he told me is so good I'm going to tell it to you the best I can in her very words;
 .I have a lady friend" she said, ''by the name of Mrs. Andrews, whom you made a set of artificial teeth for Of course, doctor, it was only the other day that l found this out but at any rate-for the longest time I had admired her teeth and I repeat edly told her how fortunate she was in having such fine natural teeth, while I, it seemed, was troubled most all the time.
 :.I had had some plate work done but I was never satisfied with it. The teeth didn't seem to match right knew as well as I, that they were artificial But I could have stood that-yet, the plates fitted so miser- ably, were so uncomfortable that my own teeth-and she laughed and said she could tell they weren't!
 ''But-the other day, when Mrs. Andrews saw that I was suffering all manner of tortures from my plates and was threatening to go to a den- tist to get new p1ates-she told me the whole story of how her teeth were the results of your clever work and I just want to say that I was the most surprised woman in this city. Here I am, doctor, and I'm here to find out if you can make up some plates for me that will look just as good as Mrs Andrews? ?''
 We both had a good laugh over the deception I had helped Mrs. An drews to play and assured my wis itor that I could help her out, in fact guaranteed to make them equally as good as her friends in every way or I wouldn't expect her to pay me a penny.
 This just goes 10 show that ex- perience goes a long way in making up artificial teeth that look RIGHT and are RIGHT.
 If you're interested-come up anytime-for-
