WHAT IS ALVEOLAR
DENTISTRY?
Bummed up in a few worda tt Is the
highest achievement of dental science
and most successful method ever dis
covered. By this method you can secure new
teeth thst are beautiful In appearance
and aa aallafactory and serviceable as
your nataral teeth.
All that Is necesssry Is that you have
at least two teeth In each Jaw.
If your teeth are loose we tighten
them by the Alveolar Method and save
them, while the other dentists will tell
you they must be pulled and cannot
be saved.
Tou may ask. "How ran you find out
that Alveolar dentistry is beet?"
We are prepared lo show you In actual
existence work In Ihe mouths of our pa
tients that Is a revelation to the ordi
nary dentist, and In fact work that lie
stated was Impossible to perform.
If you will come in and see us we will
send you to as many tuch patients here
In this city as you may care to vlelt. We
give you guarantee that we will do
everything we say we ran do, and bark up
our guarantee by shoeing you actual re
sults If you are In need of dental work the
BEST la what yon want and If you will
pay us a visit, we wll. examine your
mouth and tell you what we will do, and
what the work will l-oat you.
We will aso asttsfy you before you
spend one cent that we can do more by
our Alveolar system than Is possible for
any other dentist to do.
We have achieved auch success that
many of the dentist profession have be
come alarmed, and aa a consequence sre
doing everything in their ponrr to dis
credit us. Some are unscrupulous enough
to ' take our advertioementa word for
word, and substitute their own names for
out's, giving the Impreaslon that they
are aupplylng teeth by our Alveolar
Method.
We warn you, however, we are the origi
nators of the Alveolsr Method of dentis
try. We have patented It and you cannot
secure work by this method outside of
one of our offices.
If you are In need of any dental work,
pay us a visit and we will make an
examination of your mouth, at our ex
pense and tell you what we can do and
bow much it will cost you.
If you cannot call at present, send for
our booklet. "ALVEOLAR TEXTISTRT."
for which there Is no charge. This ex

ductlon it woujd seem ultimstely that the
government will drsire to taa Interstate
business, which represents on the t'nlon
Pacific tiS per cent of Its business. There
fore, tbete would be only 11 per cent of
Its gross earnings left to the states through
which it operates.
"Tha smount of money expended en sec
ond track alone and taxes In the states of

"It is quite wi;hin the bounds to say
tlat during the next five years tills country
should spend many million in the enlarge

squarely with full recognition of the present
condition offfairs. which prevents needed
capital from investing. There can be no
thoroughly marked revival of new railroad
construction on a scale commensurate mlth
the necessities of thla western country -until
j returities receive greater protection than
j at present, notwithstanding It Is easy to
say thst railroads muat be forced to ex -
pend; that they must he capitalised at
exact cost, and that the promoters end
bankers profit, must be eliminated, there
still remains the prsf-ixal part of the
whole question, who will obtain the money
snd how can it lie -obtained.
"The of-nstsnt attarks on overcapital

I the fact that when the rnltoe) States gov
ernment was its partner In the original
j Incorporation in 1870. when tt waa capital
ised for lli:.'iC6 per mile, while the present
capitalization of the T'nlon Pacific railroad
is less than i:.0o per mile. In other words,
the inflation has been backwards. I am
aware that this rips a few planks out of
the platforrr,s of the enterprising reformers
and I fully appreciate that the effons of
the reformers are commendable, but the
ruler of the universe who Is supposed to
have inspired the Ten Commandments, did
not ext.erl It in possible to carry out
the administration of tl.e earth on any
different basis. It is certainly very com
mendable to American enterprise te think
that theae comrr.andents are now unneces
sary and that they can be eliminated from
our social condition. What the railroada
