The Capitalizing Assets By LORETTO C. LYNCH. "You have had those curtains 20 years?" es, smiled the proud house wife, "and they look like new be cause I let only one woman launder them. I'm taking them to her to morrow for the annual tubbing be fore I store them for the summer." The laundress' cottage contained four rooms. The water had to be carried. There was no electricity and no gas. Wood was burned in the old-fashioned range. An accident had deprived Mrs. Kemp of one eye and one hand. Did she sit down and weep? Not a bit of it. She capitalized the phys ical assets that remained as well as her talent for washing and iron ing. She figured that the average family washing took all day and net ted about $3. And so she specialized on laundry work which was difficult to do, but yielded big returns. Curtains, hue linens, shirtwaists of real lace, collar and cuff sets, bridal trousseaus, babies' layettes these were the things Mrs. Kemp had in at that time. For mending she charged extra. Many customers sent their work to her by parcel post. One woman, she told us, sent her dainty things on a five-day journey to her. She told me that when she real ized her handicap she decided to try to do one ordinary thing better than anybody else. Doesn't seem to be a bad idea for anyone to have in mind. So many, with every modern con venience to bless them, slide over laundry work. Yet with the many helps in the way of soap and dirt chasers, with every labor-saving device within reach of the average housewife, whatever laundry work we do, we ought to try to do well. Literary. Hewitt Do you think that Bacon wrote Shakespeare? Jewitt How do I know? Why don't you look up the publisher's canceled checks and see who en dorsed them? Man Is Dictator to Fashion At last Dame Fashion ltfcs met her Waterloo. And the conqueror is mere man. For in spite of the dame's predictions that black was to reign supreme this summer in milady's costume, the stronger sex for such it has proven itself in this instance has ordained otherwise. And it all came about because too many men were seeing their wives gowned as they will be at the time when they the men arc no longer. As one man remarked, "It's had enough to sec your wife going around in mourning but when she acts so jolly about it why, it makes one feci that he is no longer needed in this world." Which brings tip the old question, "Docs woman dress to please men or other women?" We believe wc have it answered, for manufacturers have announced that blue is to take the place of black. Canton crepe is Mill popular, they say, but it has a close following in georgette crepe. Very narrow rib bons of the same coloring will ba used as trimming for the blue frocks,, the ribbon being applied in artistic scrolls or appliqucd like braid. Raisins are excellent to swectc rice pudding. men in the party, with exception of Mr. Waller preceded their families home. Mrs. George Williamson and daughter, Eleanor, who have been in California since June, plan to leave there on Tuesday, and will be home the latter part of the week. They will be accompanied by Mrs. Pett bone, mother of Mrs. Williamson, who spent the past year on the coast Mr. and Mrs. A. V. deGoicourea left Saturday for Santa Barbara, Cal., after a stay of a couple of months in Council Btuffs. . Mrs. deCoicourea had been ill and during a recent visit of her sisters, Dr. Mary and Miss Aurelia Tinley to California, was persuaded to come here with her husband to recuperate.

' Graduate Northwestern University I Extract Teeth Without Pain Money back if I hurt you Dcn't let those old roots and decayed teeth remain in your mouth another day to ruin your health and personal appearance. Dentistry is not the painful ordeal that it was years "ago. .You'll go out of my office with a smile I specialize en nervous patients and those having very sensitive teeth. I have every appliance and convenience for doing painless work, and when I say painless, I mean exactly what I say. I do not belong to any so-called Dental company and I do not employ assistants. All my work is done by me personally and I do not allow work to leave my office that is not entirely satis factory to the patient. Poor Dental Work ia expensive at any price. Poor den tistry causes more trouble than no dentistry at all. Do you know that 95 per cent of all dental work done ia imperfect T Why First and most common reason is : Incompetent dentists. Second: Poor materials. Third: Prices so cheap that work has to be rushed and cannot be don satisfactorily. Trust yourself to an operator who is responsible. It ia not the flashy rase that makes a good watch, but the works inside: so it ia with dentistry, and it ia always best to investigate thoroughly before hav ing work done, then patronize a dentist who will give you what you expect the best at a reasonable price. i I am a specialist on cronn and bridge work, having; spent years in the study of this most technical branch of dental surgery. No matter how bad your teeth are, I can treat you painlessly and can assure you . of a complete plate or bridge that will feel and look like your own teeth. I do not boast of quantity. but I do take pride in the quality of my work. Poor dentistry means aching and sensitive teeth, sora gums and un sanitary mouths, then after work is completed, the patient finds he is money out, teeth ruined and the work has to b dona over at a double price. A few points to remember: Honest treatment, clean office, per sonal attention, good materials, honest prices, satisfaction and painless. Write about your tooth troubles. Office Hours 8:30 to 6.
