Wolverine Go.
 Opens Office
 In Bridgeport

The Wolverine Detective Agency has opened an office in the Newfield build ing, room 531, with Thomas A. Mitch ell a well-known detective as man. ager.
 MT. Mitchell served for five years with the New York State Department of Institutions and for eight years with the Connecticut State Police De- partment and during that time was conceded to be one of the cleverest men in the east.
 So extensive has been his work that he has been many times subpoenaed by prominent Connecticut lawyers in civil cases during the past eight years. Seldom, if ever, has any po- hceman in this country spent any length of time in a jail with suspect ed criminals in attempting to gain evidence as did MT. Mitchell in 1915. when he became @ voluntary prison CT in the LStchfield county jail, with Williams and Rowe, who were exe- cuted at Wethersfield for murdering County Commissioner Case.
 In his work for both the state Of New York and Connecticut, MT. Mitchell has had wide and varied ex- perience and feels that he is now able to serve the public in a satis- factory manner. He will specialize Tn legitimate civil and criminal cases and will carefully investigate all acci- dent cases.

The Artificial Teeth
you get up here will feel better Tn your mouth! and look better

''This plate fits as perfectly as though I had worn them all my life," a patient told me yesterday. You certainly are a won derfuI dentist!"
 She had worn this set of false teeth only one day and they had cost her only S10.
 She could have paid ten times that price lots of places, but she couldn't have gotten a set of new teeth that would have fit any better, or looked any better, or been any better than these made her for only S10.
 But there's nothing wonderful about it-aS she said.
 We've made many, many thousands of plates and sets of false teeth for Bridgeport people in the 15 years, we have been in bus mess here. Very few den- lists anywhere have made as many plates as we have here.
 We learn how to do a thing best by doing it of ten-the more we do it, the better we get at it. That's the secret of it.
 And we make so many plates in our own laboratory that we can make them at very low priceS-juSt as Mir. Ford is able to make such a good little car at such a low price because he makes so many of them.
 We don't care how hard your mouth is to fit we will make you a plate that will fit you perfectly.
 And if you want us to use the teeth from your old plate, we will make you a new one for as little as S5!
 Come up and see us about it-come any time and just ask for

WOMEN AND MEDICINE.

In Europe, years ago. a woman named Hildegarde wrote a notable book on medicinal plants In those days the men were too busy bother ing about dogmas of religion and the study of herbs was thought be- heath their notice.
 It was the women, however, who mostly conducted the hospitals and cared for the sick, and thus they learned much of great value They let the men fight out the questions of theories.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. prepared almost fifty years ago by a woman. Lydia E. Pink ham. did then, and does now, relieve the ailments peculiar to women. It is a vegetable Compound and of great value for this purpose. This is proven day after day, and in your own neigh borhood, by grateful women who have used it.-AdV.

The first set shows the life in the 18th century the second set shows life during the 18th cen tury and the third set shows life dur in the 17th and 18th century. The pictures are wonderfully done and many of the Fairfield residents as
 we'll as the Southporters admire them daily.

White Way
May Be Established Along the
New Concrete Street.

With the building of the new
concrete streets and roads in Big
Stone Gap this spring and sum
mcr, bonds for which purpose
were sold last week, the advisa-
bility of establishing an electri-
cal'white way through the bust
ness part of the town is being
discussed by citizens and mem
bers of the town council, and it
seems to be the unanimous opin-
ion of all that such an improve
ment should be made, as it will
add greatly to the convenience
of the public and attractiveness
of this splendid street, which
will be equal if not superior to
any in the state.
1t is the opinion of many that
along Wood Avenue this white
way should be placed in the cen
ter of the street which will do
away with the necessity of hay
ing a row of lights on each side
and will make very attractive
