This means two hundred dollars for every man, woman and child in the United States. Is your share safely banked? If not, why not begin today to accumulate your two hundred dollars in a savings account at The Scandinavian American Bank—the Largest Savings Institution in the Pacific Northwest. It’s sys- tematic saving that counts—for “Money makes Money.” A weekly deposit of $5 will build up your $200 in a very short time, and the regular interest payment will be an added incen- tive to continued saving. Without exception, men who have achieved success laid the foundation for their future when they commenced to save. Thrifty people see to it that a substantial portion of their income goes into their own bank account—and not all into the other fellows’.

The dentist's work is almost entirely upon the finest of live tissues, treating diseases, correcting deformities and reproducing nature. It is a most exacting profession—the dentist must have a complete understanding of the bony structure of the head and face, as each canal, opening and prominence has a specific im portance and carries or protects some vital organ. Equally as important is the location of arteries, veins or the parts supplied by them, The dentist has probably more to do with the nerves than any other tissues of the body—must have (Copyright, 1919) tional Feature Servic | (Inter' Inc.)
