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.

Rebating Charge
. 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.

TV figure-
( 'THE
tgf FINAL
Vc0ST
The initial "price" of
dental work may prove
a mere fraction of what
you "pay."
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.

CASE AGAINST
FRUIT DEALERS
IS DISMISSED
Court Holds State Failed to
Prove Complaint of Con
spiracy in Restraint
of Trade.
Lincoln. Oct 25. (Special.)
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.
