THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE:' SEPTEMBER 22, 1918. 7 A' DESERTERS JOIN FORCES FIGHTING TO FREi SERBIA Advance Threatens Rear of Bulgarians Who Contend " With. Allies Around V ' Lake Doiran. : London, Sept; 21. In their ad vance northward the Serbians have passed the line Krnyovo-Strigovo Drogojel-Poloshko. Soldiers who have been forced to enlist in the Bulgarian army during the occupation of southern Serbia are throwing away their arms and joining the army of liberation. Krnyovo is nine miles southwest of Domirkapu, the nearest point on the Vardar river and the Uskub-Sa-loniki railroad, from the advancing Serbian line. Should the railroad be reached here the Bulgarians fighting the British and Greeks around Lake Doiran would' be cut off from their base and ' reinforce ments. ' The official statement .cads: "Our indefatigable troops con tinued toadvance and have fought northward in one day more than nine miles. The infantry has passed the line Krnyovo-Strigovo-Drogo jel-Poloshko. The cavalry is north of this line. More than 10 villages were liberated in one day. In the bend of the Cerna we have taken the village of Godiyak. Aviators continuously bombard the retreat ing troops and attack them with ma chine guns. ; t "We have taken a great number of prisoners, including a lieutenant colonel. Several guns are reported to have been captured, but the jnumber has not . been ascertained owing to the speed of our advance. "The population is welcoming the arrival of our troops with en thusiasm. .The soldiers of new Ser bia who had been forced, to enlist in the Bulgarian army are throwing away their arms and passing to our side." j . "The offensive of the Greeks and British in the Lake Doiran region, which has been marked by furious battles, continues to progress. Vio lent counter-attacks have been made in vain by Bulgarian forces." Yank Lumber Jacks Will 5 .; ' Help Reforest England , Headquarters American Forestry Corps. England. Sent 21. One of ; the great tasks. of reconstruction in ; Great Britain will be 'forestry, ac i cording to American foresters who have been at work in lumber camps in England and Scotland for the past year. The American lumber tacks are now being assisted by de- tachments of young women, who use heavy two-handed saws and who clear away all the brushwood. The - reforestation program in the British Isles, experts say, should be mapped out with particular re ; gard to making Great Britain self- supporting in regard to timber for " aircraft requirements, and large r areas should be planted with trees r wftable for airplanes. - Liberty Bonds Used Largely yt As Security for Discount Washington, Sept " 21.

U, Get 'if f Your . iviuir.1 il Ulfflll'I'll Econ.iuy is in QUALITY, not in PRICE. A patient remarked to me the other day, "Doctor, I want the cheapest set of teeth you make, I must ECONOMIZE." I showed that patient a model of our very best aluminum plates, and explained to her that that was the CHEAPEST, piece of work she could buy. While her circumstances made it necessary for her to "compromise" with a first class rubber plate the point I wished to make appealed to her and I repeat the incident in the hope that others will also learn the les . son that the BEST is always the cheapest. Moderate prices (often half what other hifch class dentists charge! has been a rule in this office and I do not mean, that the BEST must necessarily be the 'HIGHEST PRICED yet it is better by far4 to pay a GOOD dentist too much than to pay a poor one any .thinJr.V ' Quality of material, and skillful workmanship, necessarily imply that the "cost" will be a little mdre at first but it also means the "finat cost" will be much less. . , Y People will forget the fact that a satisfactory piece of work costs a few dollars more, much soonerthan they ' will forget an unsatisfactory piece of, work that they se cured "cheaply." The QUALITY of work done in this office will never deteriorate the price may change if "cost of pro duction" makes it necessary but not otherwise. Be assured that here you are getting just as good dentistry as ?ypur money will buy ANYWHERE, and almost, invariably for less than you would pay elsewhere for work at all comparable.
