ONE OF THE BEST TURNS YOU EVER DID YOURSELF That is exactly what it will mean to you to come to this office and arrange to have your teeth put into perfect condition. You will be thankful many times in the years to come if you will just make up your mind to take this decisive step now. Maybe you have been putting it off on account of thinking that it will cost a tre- mendous lot of money. If this is the case, you will probably be pleasantly surprised when you come here and get our prices. On account of the very large volume of business which we do at this office we are able to make the very lowest prices. It stands to reason that we can afford to take a smaller profit on the individual case than an office which does only one-half to one-third the vol- ume that we do can possibly afford to take. Just come to this office—let one of our experts examine your teeth—he will tell you right away just what is necessary to put them into perfect condition—he will also tell you just what the cost will be. OR. L. R. CLARK This will place you under no obli- gation whatever—but we will ven- ture to say that when you learn of our low prices and of our high-class, painless dental service, that you will immediately say, “Go ahead with the work—perfect teeth for mine from now on.” Every operator in this office is a graduate registered dentist, and every one of them has his certificate from Regal Dental Offices DR.

Seattle is now in the midst of a municipal campaign. Two ERICKSON AND HESKETH—are candidates for re-election on a municip ket-belt-line-bond platform SEATTLE IS NOW BONDED FOR MORE THAN $40,000,000. This bonded debt includes the light and water bonds, street railway, garbage cinerator, port, school, local improvement and general bonds outstanding and authorized and is as follows: Light Bonds Port Bonds........-.... 4,511,481.60 6,300,000.00 “a Street Railway...............0000005 as ia 425,000.00 Garbage Incinerator 280,000.00 9 Sea eG So poitaar eas eras S ty x ao pO Re 7,983,000.00 Authorized in addition but not yet sold.......... 1,245,000.00 School District No. 1..... ina san se neeeeeeess 5,194,000,00 © Total January 1, 1917...... To this must be added approximately $10,000,000.00 of outstanding local provement bonds and warrants, the exact total of which, as shown in the last of City Comptroller Carroll, was $10,522,680.16. Councilman Thomson says the city will be COMPELLED TO ISSUE DIATELY $7,000,000.00 MORE WATER BONDS, and the LIGHTING DEP. MENT is asking for $3,450,000.000 for new power and steam plants. Councilmen ERICKSON, HESKETH, Moore, Bolton and Fitzgerald propose $600,000.00 bond issue for a MUNICIPAL MARKET, the Port Commission $450,000.00 for a BELT LINE railroad, and issues of $450,000.00 for arterial ways and $275,000.00 for the Montlake bridge are on the ballot. If all these pass Seattle's TOTAL BONDED DEBT WILL EXCEED $5) 000.00, with growing deficits in street railways and port properties and the DIATE NECESSITY, as Councilman Thomson points out, of INCRE LIGHT AND WATER RATES unless deficits are to be faced in those utilities.
