Correspondent FAIL IN DENTAL EXAM WHICH IS NOW CONTESTED Claims Made That Re-examination of Students Who "Cribbed" Is II i Y legal. ; Lincoln, Oct 25. (SpecM) Fif teen out of 98 dental students who took a special exitnination in July in Omaha failed, according to rec ords of the state dental board here. The special examination was held following a discovery in June that a majority of 100 students taking the regular examination at the state house had been assisted by stolen questions which were delivered to them at a fraternity house. All but two students admitted complicity. Paul Fleming of Wilsonville re fused to join the plot, and J. A. Singleton, negro, of Omaha, was not invited They were exonorated. Statutes of the state recite that examinations can be held in June and November only, when the den tal board holds its Regular meetings. An attempt has been made to get around the statute by showing in the minutes that the examination in Omaha "was an "adjourned" affair, j!though Attorney General Davis old the guilty students in June that hey might have to wait att entire year for re-examinations. , Records of the dental board show .hat licenses have been granted to Doctor Prescribes DJMfc f or Danker Write to H.

Against Bankers' Life Is Dismissed Lincoln,. Oct. 25. (Special.) The complaint against the Bankers Life Insurance company of Des Moines and General Agent Levey at Omaha, charging rebating 911 the part of the premium on four poli cies written for members of the Omaha Sausage company, has been dismissed by W. B. Young, chief of the state bureau of insurance, on the grounds that there was not suf ficient evidence shown that rebat ing had been done. The evidence presented by the association was the testimony of the agents of several other com panies that in conversation with members of the Omaha Sausage company the members told them that thy had given the business to the people who made them the best proposition. Soma of the testimony tended to show that they had made satements that the commissions were returned to them. As evidence for the defense, Mr. Levey presented a note, signed by J. Goldenbutg, for the Omaha Sausage company, for the full amount of the premiums and the check which was subsequently given in payment of this note.

I disapprove of a secret "fee till" system of charging for dental work, because I believe MOST of the charges, as therein contained are entirely too high, and also be came t do not believe that all dentists do equally good work, and therefore all ire not entitled to the same compensation However, between the high-priced dentist who does Wgh-class work and the low-priced dentist who does in ferior work, my sympathies are with the man who does the better work. "What you PAY for dentistry is not to be figured by what the dentist CHARGES you AT THE TIME. ' An ill-fitting crown, for instance, may cause you un told trouble, may require many return visits, besides the , time and annoyance of having it removed and replaced (even if done gratis) and in case you live out of the city : t means extra railroad fare. ' ' A poorly filled root canal means pain, suffering, pos sible loss of the tooth, and may mean serious .infection. A thinly rolled crown, or a piece of bridge work that does not perfectly articulate, usually drives a patient in disgust to another dentist and means another dental bill People should betr in mind that a POOR DENTIST, mn. in a fine office, is still a POOR DENTIST and de spite the fact that he overcharges you, the work will also be poor. On the other hand, a First-Class Dentist can (if he is willing to) give you the very best dental service for a reasonable fee and still make a fair profit People contemplating dental work may learn the truth of ALL the above assertions by vising VARIOUS dental offices, but they may save themselves that un pleasant. and costly experience by coming direct to this office, which has for many years pioneered the way in moderate prices, better materials, guaranteed workman ship, and minimizing pain. The initial price here is the final cost; we cannot afford to have it otherwise. Painless Withers Dental Co 433428 Securities Bldg.-16th and Faruin Stmts OMAHA, NIB. Office) Honrs80 A. IS. to 8 P.

Notwithstanding that several local grocerymen appeared on the stand and produced invoices allowing that Grainger Bros, and Stacy Bros., wholesale fruit dealers of Lincoln, maintained identically the same prices for goods sold the dealers at different times, the complaint filed against them in county court by At: torney General Davis for conspiracy in restraint of trade was dismissed by County Judge Reid of Lancaster county. During the hearing four grocers testified they bought from both firms and that the prices made by one were the same as quoted by the other. Ralph Arnold, a former bookkeeper for Stacy Bros., testi fied that a price list was put out each week for the use of the sales men. On cross questions by Deputy Attorney General Ayers Arnold ad mitted that it had been shewn at the hearing some time ago that prices put out by the lowa-Nebraska Fruit Jobbers association were agreed to by both the defendant firms. Con D. Amos, formerly a city salesman for Stacy, but for several months past in the grocery business for himself, said that when one firm changed prices the other did like wise. George Cullen, another Lincoln grocer, said that out of 200 invoices he found on over- 20 occasions he had bought from both firms on the same day and the prices were iden tical. However, he said that since the investigations started there had been quite a variance in prices. In dismissing the case County Judge Reid said that the prosecution ad failed to show that an offense had been committed or that there was probable cause to believe that the defendants were guilty of an of fense as charged in the complaint.

Now it has received a promise that the sation will be kept warm. Lutheran Synod Already Raised $200,000 of Fund Fremont, Neb., Oct. 25. (Spe cial.)
