THE SUPREME EXPERT
Supreme of all specialists Is
the dental surgeon.
No other skilled worker of any sort
whatever is in the name class with the
modern dentist in the matter of
pllanres for accurate and artistic work.
Compared with an up-to-date dental
surgeon’s equipment of Instrument* and
material, the general surgeon’s arma
mentarium is positively crude; and In
norther field of mechanics has so much

the refinement to which dental art has

of artlAclal teeth designed to meet the
requirements of both race and tem

shades of Celtic teeth, Teutonic teeth,

combinations range all the way from
pure white down thru hundreds of

otherwise), to the gold Inlay machine,

SCHLEY’S LAST LETTER
He Wrote to John Temple Graves About tht Battle of Santiago.
From The New York American.
This Is probably one of the last letters
written by Admiral Schley, and so far as
known Is the obly written comment he
ever made on the criticised maneuvers
of the Brooklyn at the battle of Santiago:
”Mt. Klsco, N. Y.. Sent. 28, 1911.
iiy Denr Sir: It is with infinite pleas-
that I read your editorial a few days
_ promoted by Admiral Chadwick's ad
mission that the Brooklyn’s part Jn the
battle of Santiago was the determining
factor of that great combat, and m
thanking you for your mnsterfu! review

evident, and to gain an advantage of sim

maneuver was mado with the result
thgt ever>* vessel of the enemy was de
stroyed, and every one of the men. alive

Extending the Medical
Inspection of School Children.
The friends of the movement
Cor the medical inspection of
sehool children, enconragod by
its snccess in the achools of At
lanta and by the recent decision
of Fulton’s officials to have it
inatalled in the county schools,
have launched a movement to
have it extended to every sehool
in the state.
The movement is to bo led by
tho Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce, and at the instnnee of V.
H. Kriegahaber, ono of its vico
presidents, is to undertake the
work of collecting, compiling
and distributing statistics show
ing the result* accomplished by
tho system in Atlanta and Ful
ton county, and tho resulta that,
therefore, can be relied upon in
the other states and counties.
Both Mr. Kriegshaber and the
Chamber of Commerce are to be
heartily commended for their ef
forts. The Georgian has often
pointed out the good that will
coma from tho medical examina
tion of school children. It is
the one improvement in the
state school system that is now
needed more than any other.
It is the means of relieving
suffering, proventing mental and
physical deformities, and even
of saving lives—young lives with
all their possibilities for happi-
ness and usefulness.

possible dispatch until every

A Sunny Sort of Conservation.
“Sunny Jim” Sherman, vice
president of the United States,
delivered a public address re
cently at Sturgis. Mich., on the
occasion of tho opening of that
city’s new hydro-electric power
plant.
By menus of this speech Mr.
Sherman did two things: He re
called the fact thjit there is such
a thing as a vice president and
again justified the appropriat
ness of his nickname,
He declared that both Taft ami
Pinchot were wrong in their
ideas of conservation, that c
servation was a myth, a buga
boo, and ought to be brushed
aside so that each generation
More Success for
Anti-Typhoid Vaccination.
We commented some months
ago on the fact that the soldiers
nt Fort McPherson were being
inoculated with the anti-typhoid
scrum and on the further fact
that this preventive measure had
met with great success in various
parts of the world where it had
been tried.
So undoubted Is its effective
ness that it is boing employed
in the armies of nil the loading
nations. In the armies it wns
given its first extensive test and,
there first proved its great value.
Its use, however, is ’ gradually
being extended to nil classes of
people, and nowhoro is its prog
ress more rapid tbnn in the
United States. Medical colleges,
dispensaries and city physicians
are being supplied with the sc
rum nnd ndmiuister it free to all
who care to receive it. Atlan
ta’s health department is fortu
nate in being so equipped. No
Atlantan who ypshes it need be
without the protection of the
inornlntinn.
Army records are not the only
proof of the lessened typhoid,
mortality following its adoption.
The city of Charlotte, N. C., fur
nishes the latest instance, and a
very striking ono, too.
That city, it will he remem
bered, during the past summer
suffered a serious water famine.
The city reservoir went dry and
the people—about 35,000 in num
ber—were forced to drink water
from surface wells, with all their
dangers, and from other sources
eqnnliv untrustworthy.
And yet, with the large quan
tity of contaminated water which
was undoubtedly consumed, there
were not more than six eases of
typhoid at any one time through
out the summer—an unusual
record even with the accustomed
supply of water.
The low typhoid rate is ac
counted for by. the fact that a
large portion of the population,
realizing the danger they were
iu from drinking water whose
purity was uncertain, took the
precaution to havo themselves
vaccinated.
SIcdical science and its practi
tioners nowadays offer humanity
much in the way of prevention
and cure. The public should he
quiejc to realize the value of
what is offered nnd accept its
benefits.

“Look at the clothes of those two dorks." said the Business Doctor.
“Ono of them is dressed like lie was going to gn al fresco plngnong party and
the other like he whs going to a lodge funeral. You should have a chat with

knows that the man who wears such a

that he knows absolutely nothing of the

Is it likely that a man whose taste la so
bad in his own clothes would have much ta^te in anything else? Would his
judgment be accepted by one of your customers? I think not.
“You may think these are trifles for devotees of fashion to quibble over,

"There Is absolutely no question but that the snlesman In n dark business

From Tho Literary Digest.
In every civilised city In the world,
■aye a dramatic writer, there la either
a Keith theater or one modeled on the
Keith plan. That one man ahould have
brought about thle result le Interesting
enough, but that It ehould have been
eccompltehed by the elimination of the
vulgarities that some managers eeem to
think the people demand—that, gay*
Colgate Baker In The New York Re
view, “Is not only Interesting but In
structive. It guides other managers on
the future road they must go." Just
how Mr. Keith came to see the “parting
of the ways," he telle himself, as fol
lows:
"I wae raised on a farm In New
Hampshire, where the people never
went to any kind of theatrical enter
tainment because they were respectable
people nnd were offended at the coarse
ness of variety shows and had no op
portunity to sec the better class of
diama. They did go to the clrcup once
a year or so, but they had no chance to
patronise any other kind of theatrical
amusement, and this fact made a great
Impression on me. I was fond of the
theater myself and knew that a nice,
clean theatrical performance would
certainly be liberally patronised by peo
ple generally, If they had tha opportu
nity.
"Afterward, when I left the farm I wae
working In western Massachusetts and
traveled about the country with a cir
cus, I found that the same conditions
existed everywhere throughout the
United States. There were no theatri
cal performances except those of high-
class drama, to which women and chil
dren could go. Theatrical managers
seemed to hare quite Ignored the
wants of the average American family
for theatrical amusement.
Of course, today It seems to be re
markable that such n condition of af
fairs could have exlstod, but those
were the facts; Tile elrcue that came
around once a year was practically the
only family entertainment In America
and It was not enough. The more I
studied the people the more convinced
I became that there was a great op
portunity for a manager who could give
the public a nice, refined, pleasing the
atrical entertainment, which would ap
peal to all claeses of people equally, but
the greet problem wae how could such
a show be given.
"I had no enpitat.only unbounded con
fidence In my theory that people wanted
to be entertained respectably; how
ever. I determined to make a start In
some manner. After much hardship
and privation In trying to get fairly
started, I opened a little museum Jan
uary 8, 1881, In a room 89 feet long and
19 feet high, In a building on the site of
the Adams house, on washlngton-st.,
Boston. My only attraction wns Baby
Alice, a midget who weighed one and a
half pounds, but I Installed a small
stage In the rear of tha room and se
cured several acts from the variety the
aters, with the understanding that nil
vulgar or suggestive language and busl-
ness was to be eut out of every net.
"It proved. Just ns I expected, that
clean, wholesome entertainment would
be very popular. I could not accommo
date the vast number of patrons that
came to me, and the little museum had
to be enlarged, until It finally seated
600 people. Three years later I con
ceived the Idea of giving a continuous
performance, such as we give today,
and this was an Instantaneous success
also. My business Increased so rapid
ly that I had to lease the Bijou theater,
next door to my museum, and vaude
ville In Its present form wns first per
manently established In that playhouse.
"But these things were not accom-
pllshed Without the hardest kind of
work at considerable privation. w,
all took.ft our coats and buckled dov.
