MinOt Dentists Install Ritter System

Minot Dentists Install Ritter SYSTEM
Sometimes it is a pleasure to visit
the dentist. You will notice that we
mention the pleasure somewhat re-
luctantly. We might be more specific
representative enjoyed a visit paid to
the dental offices of Drs. Lang and
Abbott. recently. These gentlemen
have occupied an office together since
last spring g--the same offices that DR..
Lang has used for the past nine years.
Dr.. Abbott is Minot young man who
graduated from the department Of
Dentistry of the University Of Mime
sofa this year.
The Lang Abbott offices have just
| been completely remodeled and re-
decorated, making them among the
most attractive offices of the city. All
equipment is operated by electricity
and the operating rooms are lighted
by the new Dentiscope lights. The lab
oratory and steriIiZing equipment
is furnished with electric current in
stead Of the Gu 5tomary gas fixtures.
In DR.. Lang's Offices one finds it fully
equipped with what is known as
Ritter system thruout, simply press
q button and the operator is furnish
ed light bulbs or grinding appliances
as his needs require. This equipment
is the first Of its kind we have ever
seen and will say that It is d wonder
full layout. 1t is the only one of its
kind, so far as we can learn. anywhere
in this section of the state. SO per-
feet is it's workings that we imagine
that it would be a pleasure TO have a
few molars extracted just BY way OF
! experiment, but we are passing up
The pleasure, just at present.
| DR.. Abbott has received the ap
pointment as dental examiner for Un-
Gle Sam in this district, due no doubt,
to the fact of his having served with
the A. E. F. for term of two years
] is months of which he was actively
engaged at the front, seeing some
mighty tough fighting up in the St.
Mihiel sector and in The Argenne.

, medical corps, G. S. Johnson, for
mer employe Of the Minot Dairy Co.,
came in and had an examination
made. Mr.. Johnson is now travelling
for St. Louis firm selling chemical
supplies. And, by the way, we figure
that one of the most valuable assets
Of this particular dental office is the
fact that the young lady assistant is

has been the valued assistant of DR..

REV. P.W ERICKSON CONSIDER
ING CALL TO BELLlNCHAM, WASH.

Rev. p. w. Erickson, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Minot
for the past twelve years, has receiv-
cd call to the pastorate Of the Pres
byterian church at Bellingham, Wash,
and it is quite probable that he will
accept the call.
The first intimation that his parish
ioners received Of this. was Sunday
evening at the close of the special
services when announcement was
made at d special session of the Ses-
sion, the controlling body of the
church.
Dr.. Erickson informed the men,
bcrs Of the board that he wanted a
lew days to consider the matter and
he likewise wanted the board to think
the matter over seriously. A decision
IS to be made at a meeting of the
Session to be called soon.
Dr. Erickson will very likely az
cept the Bellingham offer, he states.
Belllngham is much larger city-than
Mlnot, atfording greater opportuni-
ties and wider field for his activities.
A telegram was received from Bel
llngham recently, informing Mr..
Erickson that he had been unanimous
ly endorsed by the board.
The Minot Presbyterian church has
enjoyed a remarkable development
under Dr.. Erickson's guidance. The
congregation has grown several times
it's original size and the church has
increased in usefulness. The organ
ization is free from debt and has n
large sum in the building fund. Two
lots adjoining the church property
have been purchased and will be util-
lied when the church is enlarged.
Rev. Mr.. Erickson is one of the
foremost ministers of North Dakota.
He is man of ready speech and he
has been in much demand on the lee
ture platform. He has taken a prom
inent part in civic as we'll as religious
affairs, being one of the charter mem
bers of the Minot Rotary.
He was in charge of the Drayton
Presbyterian church for five years be-
fore coming to Minot and year prior
to that did missionary work among
the lunnberjacks Of northern Mime
sofa. During the period Of his pas
toral schooling, he preached in the
Presbyterian church at Belvidere,
Calf. His original home was Kassonx
MINI.
Scores of Minot friends, many of
them not even members of his church,
are urging Mr.. Erickson to remain in
Minot and trust that he will finally
decide to do so.

The founders of this nation and the
builders of the commonwealth have estab-
lished a practice of dedicating one day
each year to public thanksgiving and
praise for the blessings Of Providence, be-
slowed upon the people Of our state and
nation, and imploring the continued guild
ance Of God in our community, state and
national life. AS a people we have great
and special reasons for observing this GUS
tom and to devote the day to praise and
prayers and for serious reflection upon the
resulting duties and responsibilities rest
ing upon us, are the benefciaries of the
bounty of Almighty God. Such an atti-
tude and frame of mind will enable us to
correct our mistakes, to view more calmly
our mutual relationships, and to give the
needed strength for the labors Of the COM
ing days.

lamation of the president of the United
States, I, R. A. Nestos, governor of the
state of North Dakota, do hereby proclaim
