Suffragists Up in
Arms Concerning -Proposed'Recall
il'icni a Slutl CorrespomU'Ut. )
Lincoln. Aug. 8. (Special.) Mrs.
' W. E. "Barklcy, president of llie State
Suffrage association, is on the war
j path. .With Miss Ida Kobbins of
! Lineup, corresponding secretary of
; the association, she is checking up
' the lists of names on the petitions
1 filed with the secretary of state call
ing for a vote on a recall of the par
tial suffrage law passed by the last
legislature, and discovers sonic things
j she docs not like.
j ;'lt will cost us $-10,000 to tight this
thing," said Mrs. Barklcy to The lee
I today. "1 think it is a shame, for with
the war on our hands this money is
i needed along patriotic lines."
I According to Mrs. Darkle - most of
the petitions were circulated by about
a half dozen people who live in Oma
ha and a woman from Council Bluffs.
These persons, she declares, went out
into the state and got the names on
the petitions, some of them being
names of people hard to Jocate. It
has also been discovered, according
to Mrs. Rarkley, that children circu
lated petitions in Omaha, where they
were paid 5 cents each for each name
secured. The children obtained the
names by accosting people on the
street and saying, "Won't you please
sign this petition; I'll get 5 cents if
you do," she contends.
Petitions were not sworn to in each
county in most cases, but were re
turned to Omaha, where the party
circulating them swore to the cor
rectness of the list. This will be in
vestigated by the state president and
the facts reported.

Uric Acid
Eradicated
(By DR. Ni C. COOK.)
A poison as dangerous as strych
nin is manufactured within our own
body, called uric acid. When it ac
cumulates in the . body and the kid
neys fail to carry it off, we suffer
from dull headache, sleeplessness,
muscular pains, lumbago, or it may
cause rheumatism or gout. The uric
acid can, be seen in the cloudy sedi
ment in the water what is called
the "brick dust," noted on the sides
of the Vessel containing it after a
few hours' standing. The water is
scant, high-eolored, strongly acid,
and this should- be a danger sign, and
if not taken in time, by cutting out
;the meat, tea and alcohol, may end
in rheumatism or gout.
. Drink plenty of water between
meak a pint of hot water half an
hour before meals and take Anuric
(double" strength). This was first
discovered by Dr. Pierce of the Surgi
cal Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., and
is harmless to the system, but sure
and effective in carryipg off the uric
acid. It stimulates the kidneys and
helps them to carry off the uric acid
poison. Anuric can be obtained at
almost any drug store, and helps to
counteract the acidity of the system.
A blockade in the intestines piles
a heavy burden upon the liver. If
the intestines are choked or clogged
up the circulation of the blood be
comes poisoned and the system be
comes loaded with toxic waste and
we suffer from " headache, yellow
coaed tongue, bad taste in mouth,
nausea, or gas, acid dyspepsia, lan
guor, debility, yellow skin or eyes.
At such times one should take a pleas
ant laxative. Such a one is made
of the May-apple, leaves of aloe and
root of jalap, first extracted and put
into ready-to-use form by Dr. Pierce
nearly fifty years ago, and sold -by
all drueiristg as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Adv.

CHARGES AGAINST
UNGERBY SUTTON
Dismissed Morals quad Offi
cer Accuses His Former Co
worker With False Testi
mony and Duty Neglect.
Paul Sutton, former city detec
tive, dismissed by the city council
after a sensational hearing for
"conduct unbecoming an officer,"
has filed an appeal in district
court through his attorney, Elmer
Thomas.
He all.ges the city council was
not justified in firing him and cites
several instances where hi says the
body was in error. He says the
evidence was not sufficient.
Paul B. Sutton, former morals squad
officer,-has filed with the city clerk
charges against John A. Unger. pa
trolman in the police department.
The charges allege that Unger was
guilty of conduct unbecoming an of
ficer; that on July 20 he testified false
ly against Sutton before the city coun
cil; that he was guilty of gross neglect
of duty in June, 1916, by having
knowledge of violations of the
Slocumb and Alberts law and failing
to perform his jduty.
Sutton, who signed the charges and .
presented them personally to the city
clerk, based his complaint on the tes
timony offered by Unger during the
Maloney and Sutton hearings before
the city council.
Unger testified that he went to the
Melson house, 514 South Nineteenth
street, on certain occasions mention
ing one night particularly, when he al
leged he went with Sutton ostensibly
to investigate the place. He further
alleged in his testimony that he
parted company with Sutton at the
Melson house because he did not ap
prove of the social amenities observed
by his companion. He said he went
to Superintendent Kugel and reported
the incident and was told that Sutton
would take care of the matter.
Unger recently was demo'ted from
the detective department to the regu
lar uniformed division of the police
department.

of position, move about in
your mouth when eating and talking there is a reason for
this; your plates were not properly made or fitted in the first
place. If you have trouble in chewing that also is a defect that
can be remedied.
-Making artificial teeth on plates, or prosthetic dentistry,
is on important branch of dentistry, and but a small per cent
of dentists have the skill and experience to do this work
properly. The average dentist in a one-man dental office does
not have enough of this work to ever become really skillful in
making artificial plates. He learns the general principles of
making plates in college, but when he begins to practice, it is
all theory with him, and his practice is so small he may only
have- five or six sets a month to make, but instead of frankly
telling his patients who need artificial teeth that he is not
skillful in making plates, he takes some kind of an impression
of the mouth and sends the impression out of his office to what
are called "commercial laboratories." These places exist by
doing this kind of work for incompetent dentists, gathering
up a few jobs here and a few there. The man or boy in the
laboratory who makes the plate never sees the patient, because
that would expose the incompetent dentist. When the plate
is finished it is sent to the dentist's office, ready for the pa
tient's mouth. If it fits badly, or gives the patient an unnat
ural facial expression, it is little wonder, and if made of cheap
material the laboratory man doesn't particularly care, as the
patient is not his patron, and doesn't know him in th trans
action. On the other hand, the dentist may-realize all this,
but he also realizes that he cannot make plates, and is help
( lessly dependent upon the "commercial laboratory." If the
dentist complains to the laboratory man, that gentleman lays
the blame back on the dentist for not taking a good impression.
The dentist knows he will have (o pay for the plate anyway,
so he passes the botch job on to the patient.
Is it any wonder that artificial teeth are called "false
teeth 1" Such a transaction is false in principle, and utterly
wrong in practice.
In my offices there is a perfectly equipped laboratory, in
' which artificial teeth are made for my patients only. Here
you will find a large room set aside for this particular work,
equipped with vulcanizers, electric lathes and other apparatus,
and under the direct supervision of a competent dentist, where
all prosthetic work is turned out. This is a distinct depart
ment of my organization, and the dentist in charge of this
department does nothing else but make artificial teeth. That
is his specialty, and instead of making four or five a month,
he will average many a day.. A. specialist is not only more
skillful than a general practitioner, but is surer and faster
in his work. , ,
If we examine your mouth and decide plates are necessary
the doctor is called and takes charge of your case. He studies
your individual case, your features, the dental arch and. the
surrounding tissues, and tells you what kind of a plate is best
suited to your particular mouth, and when the work is com
pleted it is truly a scientific piece of work, showing prosthetic
skill, and work that we can guarantee.
One great evil with artificial teeth is colored rubber which
is sometimes used, and in some mouths, it is injurious, because
it increases the normal temperature, and excessive heat in the
mouth absorbs the bony ridge. This absorption is not always
accompanied by soreness, and the patient does not know what
is taking place until too late; but once the ridge is gone it can
not be restored.
I advise and recommend metal plates in all cases gold,
aluminum, etc. because they are free fromjieating, and per
fectly sanitary. My prices for aluminum plates are about the
same as the Dental Trust's prices for rubber plates, and I
guarantee this work. Do not misunderstand me. I do not
claim our artificial teeth to be as good as natural teeth, but
they are the best that years of experience has taught us how
to make and my patients say tliey are superior to any they
have ever had.
My painless method of extracting teeth when plates are
to be made is of special interest to patients, because the gums
heal and assume a natural position more rapidly by the use of
my anaesthetic, than by any other known method, thus per
mitting the plates to be worn sooner after the natural teeth
have been extracted.
If you have four good teeth we can put in artificial teeth
without plates. This is more expensive, but has many advan-
tages over teeth with plates. Every mouth differs, and it is
impossible for any dentist to honestly say what should be done
with your teeth until he has made a careful examination of
your mouth.
Consultation and examination is free of charge. You
may call any time between the hours of 8 :30 a. m. and 6 p. m.,
or from 9' to 1 o'clock Sundays.
