' It' happens occasionally that the skill of a dentist deteriorates
rrom isjel.-nes, dissipation or old age. Patients are. not able
to distein tlits at the lime their work la done, but must wait for
expensive . experience to show them that something is wron
with their dentist. However, if you have confidence In your
dentist and foei safe in his hands it is unwise to change or be
IpfluuceU by tha adverse criticism of other people.
PAINLESSNESS
The Jtldirfereiu-e of dentists generally lo the pain tber in.
flict is herd to explain. - It Is manv times due to lack if
sympathy; perhaps the dentist's own teeth are mil sensitive. It.
is someUnies due to haste; the application of one remedy after
another (frequently nwceasary) consumes time. It often Comes
from Ignorance;' rollt-aaa. strangely enough, teach little pn this
subject, and it la seldom discussed in dental societies. What
ever th cause, the fai t re'natna that most dentists are careless
about the pain their patients suffer, and have but little means
of avoiding It. Right here I wish te say to those who do
not like to be hurt in the dental chair that the painless treat,
inert of sensitive teeth Is never slighted or undervalued In mv
office. Time Is sacrificed when necessary. In short, painlessness
Is one of the num Important features of my practice.
To those who are particular ahuut well-made crowns and
bridge work I'll say that I make a specialty of th'.s branch of
dentistry. Let me Send you a lt-page booklet; It will give you
a clear Idea regarding my work and prices.

L. ('. Wheeler. In charge of the secret
service detachment that ha been engaged
for several months In the Investigation of
th Nebraska land frauds, returned Wed
nesday from a ten dsys' visit to San Fran
cisco. "The real atory of that great disaster has
nevef been told, and I question If It ever
csn be." suld Mr. Wheeler. "It Is- -too
stupendous for one to comprehend. The
desolation of Ban Francisco Is complete.
Forty earthquake abocka have been felt
there since the big disaster. They . are
getting so .common now that ,the people
pay little attention to them.
"Hreat throngs of sightseers are pourln
Into the desolated city and are tourln

juKt the' mere outlines of the blackened
streets can be seen. On each side of the

debris of ruined buildings. It Is going to
be a tremendous task to reirar this
dubrta.
"With all the desolation and ruin, ' the
order maintained there by the regular
army is perfect.
"One of the first parties I met at Oak
land waa W. R. Llghton. of Omaha. He
tells me he Is fairly appalled at the ld:t
of writing a coherent story of the great
calamity. He has his camera with him.
and I made ah automobile tour with him
through the ruined parte of the city, at
least as far as we could go by automobile.
Some streets are so piled up with debris
that they are still impassable. The ruins
are still smoking at many points." . .

Speaker at Conference of Charities and Cor- I
reotions Make Surpriiinc Statements
CRITICISES" ORGANIZATION FOR WORK
Statistics Aliened fo He" Fealty and
I'nhlle Is said to Re
'.'" Misled' as to 'the
Facts. '
PHILADELPHIA, May lO.-The first busi
ness session - of i- the ; thirty-third national
conference of Charities and Cinrectloirms n
today In Horticultural ball. AJtier -the
presentation of the report of Lee K. FraiV
kel, manager of the I'nlted Hebrew Chari
ties of New York, a paper on "Relief Work
or the Balyatlon Army" was read by Edwin
D. Solenberger, genera) manager of the As
sociated Charities. Minneapolis, lie de
clared thkl the social relief work of the
Salvation Army as carried on through its
homes, lodging houses and other agencies
is poorly organised and poorly adminis
trated, and that the so-called charitable
work of the . army Is largely subservient
to financial Interests."
Continuing, the speaker said:
One of the chief difficulties in trilna to
arrive at definite conclusion concerning
the army's work is Untrust worthiness of
their statistics, prubabiy du largely io lack
of uniformity in recording and summarising
data.
For Instance, the lotf reoort says that
outside employment was found for about
44,fiOS, while the 19n5 report says that 14.90T
found outside employment, and an un
dated leaflet says thst .Yi.ttm found outsido
employment during the year.
1 find that, somehow most people have
gained the Impression thst the army has a
large number of farm colonies and that
thousands of poor pedple from the slums
have been transferred to them. There ure
at present but three colonlea, one each in
Ohio, Colorado and California, having a
total of but "iXi 'Deofile. These colonists
have become self-supporting, hut it would
be Interesting to know what percentage of
them while living in the city had been
recipients of either public or private re-
ner, or even dwellers m what-tne salva
tion. Army calls the slums.

Reply by Brigadier Damon.'- -
' Brigadier Harper of New York and Brig
adier Damon, leader of the Salvation Army
of - thl city, replied to the criticisms of
Mr. Solenberger. Brigadier Damon's most
effective, atgilriieht was ' a letter ' written
by Mr. Bolenberger last ' December, - in
which he spoke of the fine showing the
army had made in Its' Industrial depart
ment In Minneapolis' nd the economical
way the dther departments ' are being
handled. Brigadier Damon said Mr. Solen-
berger's remarks were absurd and that
everythlng'the Salvation' army doe Is done
openly and above board.
During the day four sectional meetings
Were held.
Dr. M. P. -Ravensl, assistant- medical di
rector of ' Phlpps Institute, -Philadelphia,
in the section for' the--tare of the sick,
spoke of the great tiitTkutty In obtaining
funds to fight) the ravages of consump
tion. While praising the- generosity of
the people 'In sending millions to Ban
FYanclsca he said It -was a hard matter
f to get fundr for destroying-conditions that
"made the destruction of loved ones by
consumption wo jreat ;thatr"the horrors of
the great ftre paled lnT6 Inslgnlflrance-'be-slde

At the general meeting" of the conference
