DENTISTRY ? You demand modern service in almost everything that pertains to daily life, and why not demand modern service of your dentist? Would you submit to an operation for appendicitis without the administering of an anaesthetic? Then why accept antiquated service from your dentist, with all the pain and torture he can possibly inflict? Why suffer because ethical prejudices keep him from adopting the wonderful discoveries of modern science? A simple anaesthetic (used in Seattle exclusively by the Boston Dental Staff), applied directly to the gums, deadens the nerves and the teeth to all sense of feel- ing, thus permitting the removal of one or all the teeth at one sitting without q even the slightest trace of hurt or un- pleasant after-effects. Every operation, in fact, is now abso- lutely free from pafm, even to the drill ing of teeth to the remotest depths and the removal of live nerves. Unlike the old gas methods, or ether, this latest discovery has no effect on the brain whatever.” On the contrary, you can converse with and direct the dentist in his work, the anaesthetic af- fecting only the gums. Better work is accomplished in less time—you suffer no discomforts. We have NOVOCAIN also, for those who desire it, tttugh we strongly recom- mend the newer discovery. FREE We make no charge for extracting teeth, no matter how many, nor for the anaesthetic. We also make a thor- ough examination of your teeth with- out charge. Only the very purest dental gold and best materials that money can buy used in this office. Our charges for modern service of the highest order are about half what you would naturally expect to pay.

U.S. NAVY OFFICER SEES BLAST AND ESTIMATES DEAD AT 5000 By United Pr ased Wire W \SHING iTON, Dec, 7.—Five thousand dead ir the Halifax disaster was the unofficial estimate of a| naval commander forwarded to the navy department here overnight. He had seen and heard the horrible explosion while 52 miles at sea and, reaching the harbor, learned of the holocaust. He declared the munitions ship crew reached shore safely by abandoning their craft when the fire started. The navy department announced the following had | been received from a commander “While 52 miles at sea, the explosion of a muni- tions ship was seen and heard. On arriving, assistance was offered the authorities and the following learned | concerning the circumstances leading up to the ex- plosion: “A Belgian relief ship collided with a French mu- large quantity of benzine. Due to the collision, the benzine caught fire and as soon as the fire started the crew abandoned ship, reaching shore before the ex- plosion occurred. “Practically all bf North Halifax was destroyed and all windows and doors in Halifax and Dartmouth were demolished “Tonight it is t ed there are these figures cannot be contirmed. “The blast sank 3 ships and badly damaged many others. The ruins of buildings are now burning fiercely in North Halifax.’ Secretary Daniels announced that the commander of an American warship which arrived in Halifax fol- lowing the blast had landed a guard to co-operate with the authorities in policing the stricken district. Presumably it was the commander who reported a rumor that 5,000 were ki Med.

ESCAPE OF CREWS OF COLLIDING SHIPS WAS DUE TO A MISTAKEN ORDER TO ABANDON SHIP The escape of the crews of the two ships which, collid ing, caused the explosion, was explained today. After the crash—due to a mistake in signals—both crews abandoned knew an explosion was benzine blazing briskly. The ss heir heels certain.

Bitter cold added to the sufferings of homeless victims} today. Members of families, s¢ ated during the panic, besought police to find their loved ones. Some were seen digging in the ruins of their homes today. Wagons, which went about the streets picking up rubbish and trying to open the thorofares, occasionally found frag of human bodies projecting from piles of junk. Th may be buried as “unidentified.” The present plan is to bury them all in one long grave like a trench grave. The cold weather prevents immediate danger of a at ma of dead. No urate count of wounded has yet been attempted. Hundreds of slight injuries have been attended to. The work of rescue is greatly impeded by masses of the debris that litter sections of the city where loss of life was ‘heaviest. S TURN OVER BARRACKS TO SCORES OF WEEPING, HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN Among other buildings leveled by the blast, the railway; and a large elevator are blackened ruins today. Scores of persons were in these buildings. Many were}, partment cable could be done was to t injured and some killed. Troops quartered here have given up their barracks to women and children and will live in a city of 500 tents erected on the common. The Academy of Music and many other public buildings |) are crowded ith weeping women and children. Their homes are shattered or burned ruins. | A part of the town of Dartmouth, a suburb of Halifax, also caught the force of the explosion and is in ruins Practically all the north end of the city of Halifax is in ruins, an area lying torn and jumbled from the North covers two square mile: Buildings which were wrecked by the explosion immediately disappeared in the fire that followed, when stoves and boilers were torn asunder. Schools and othe available buildings in the Weiburn ection of the city have been turned into morgues or hos-| pitals. Doctors and nurses are working with unending| y rendering aid to the injured. Many of those less seriously injured have gone into service for the more g da twisted and battered Mont Blanc, whose dangerous cargo aused the disaster, lies still visible in the narrows. The Belgian boat is beached near what is known as The collision was on the port side and the bow of the} lImo pierced nearly to the engine room.
