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."

I tax on cotton while the revenue bill ;
I was being framed, but who was
rutniessiy sat down upon Dy ine
majority, today in a speech on the :
floor of the house reviewed the ef- j
forts he had made to get a tax on i
cotton, but without avail.
Mr. Sloan told how the price of ;
wheat and other commodities had !
been fixed, but that cotton, which I
should be subject to war conditions
as well as wheat, was untouched in
the bill. . ' J
' Congressman Sloan told how '
Representative Moore and himself
had endeavored to get the subject !
before the house on its merits while ;
the revenue bill was under consid
eration, but the 'democratic major-,
ity had resorted to every known
parliamentary means to stifle dis-,
cussion and to prevent a tax being
levied on the southern staple. j
The Nebraskan said he was
pleased to note that the president ;
had'decided to fix a price on cotton
as he had fixed the price on wheat ;
and he was led to observe that the ,
strong and persistant efforts put!
forth by Mr. Moore and himself ih
having cotton put m the same class
as wheat was about to brjng results i
through presidential interposition. 1

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.
