Japan, as a whole, however, has cast her lot “ith the entente and will honorably stick to her agreements. But, Japan is now directly and seriously threatened B her offer to interfere in Eastern Siberia there is much than her desire to protect the enormous quantity of gnitions and other property piled up at Vladivostok, That 5 in the hands of the Teutons means a deadly menace to Wapan’s future trade interests and rights in the Pacific, and it is the Pacific trade that is, some time and before png, to be the biggest object to all traders, particularly insular peoples.

Molars Make the Man—or Woman E H molars none can afford to neglect them. The deadly poisons of decaying teeth MUST NOT ENTER THE BLOOD STREAM. If they do, sickness and death are sure to follow. Molars cannot be kept sound except by constant vig- ilance. A day’s delay may be disastrous. ATURE’S vital tools—the molars—have been the life’s study of Dr. Sipes and his expert assistants. They KNOW what is needed to put the teeth in perfect repair and they KNOW exactly how to do it. They don’t guess; they don’t experiment. It’s an exact science with them. Better still, they have solved the problem of Real Painless Dentistry By their methods pain is eliminated. Sensitive nerves are removed, tender teeth extracted and sore, aching molars are ground without pain to the patient.
