~ of the Half smoked Cigar. once
~ said. Il wonder who fills the
4 4 cavities in the teeth of the
wind? That's a good line, and
mean to fight 1t out, if it takes all
Summer."
Those true words occurred to my
mind the other day when ! was taking
my toothbrush out for It's morning
exercise and come suddenly upon the
place where 1 hate to brush. Say, l
says, to George, that's my husband,
say, honest, l simply gotter see the
dentist no matter If he has full
house or 1 aces.
And Geo. says, huh. that's bluff.
you have remarked the same thing
every day for a coupla months now.
by jove I ought to go myself, / be-
Neye | Will get an appointment today.
And 1 says yes you will, the same
as you got 1t last month, you'll get
an appointment as Ambassador to
England before you'll get one with
the dentist of your own accord! And
Geo. says for the luvva tripe. Jennie,
You know l an a busy man, 1t amt
easy for me 20 get the time to go to
the dentist. but III go the first chance
l get. And l says could that go into
this years statistics? And he says no,
it's a fact.
Well. l didn't take that too serious.
on account 1 know Geo. is as scared
Judge Rawlston. In fact, Geo. can't
seem to realize where his teeth won't
run Indefinitely unless he has the car
bon scraped. gets 'em frightened up,
the worn parts replaced, and etc,
every onct in so often.
No, he seems to think where he
can climb mountains of corn with EN-,
stall them on beefsteaks, wade to the
hubs through WEIGH rarebit and pie,
and by giving EN- wash and polish
onct in a while to keep EN- snappv-
looking. why they will remain in run
ming order
And Hot Bozo, I'm out to say that
one of these days when he quits laugh
ing from the gas, he's conner wake up
and find himself with the kind of
teeth a person can leave in the dental
garage and come back for when the
repairs is completed.
But | personally myself fully realize
where it's great to have the kind OF Il
set Of teeth you love to touch. Also,
that when you don't have them, it is
the kind of thing not even your most
Intimate friends dare to tell you. And
etc. So l never put off going to the
dentist more than few months after
the first time l realize 1 must go at
once.
WELL, anyways this day / am talk
ing about, 1 felt that the sub
ject of whether il is better to suffer in
the dentist chair. or suffer at home,
had been in committee long enough.
And so, after Junior had gone off to
school. and Geo. had taken the eight
forty-fVe to town, or it had taken
him, whichever is correct, why ! went
TO the phone and looked up DR.. Well
in the phone book, and for quite
while l was hopeful / wouldn't be
able to find his number.
But l come across it just as hope
was highest, and with n voice which
1 tried to make real strong and brave
like a Christian martyr, / give the
number to Central-Heavsns knows
she was welcome to Of kept 1t, too.
Kinda TO my surprise. she did. The
line is busy, she says, and so of
course / hung up, and thought well.
| will try and find time to call him
later.
But in the meanwhile. I decided I
would give that Mabel Bush a ring
and see how she was, and did she
have any dirt on any Of our mutual
friends. Also, I wanted TO tell her
about our car. Only a coupla days
before. Mabel was shooting off a lot
Of technical stuff. telling how she
took the best care Of her car of any
lady in town and knew enough to get
IUe Oh III llle case Sildi6Co anu
most people didn't realize where that
kinda thing prolonged the life OF a
bus, and etc.
| wanted her to know she didn't
have nothing on me. So 1 come on
back to the phone and asked for Ma
bells number, and what would Central
give me instead only DR.. Well! The
trained-nurse, the Whitehead sister
who takes care Of the patients as they
come in, and the impatients as they
come out-you know, we'll anyways
she recognized my voice before | could
hang up, and she says why Mrs.
