Then their source can’t be traced. Two methods of counter- feiting have been used most during the past few months. One is raising bills. That means making a $10 or $100 bill out of a $1 by pasting one or two ciphers after the “1.” This usually is very clumsily done and can be easily detected. — Many combinations are pos- sible in “raising.” Two-col- lar notes are raised to $20 ad $5 to $50. . Fundreds of rafsed notes of $20, $50 and $100 denom- inations are in wide circula- | tion today. ; é The aie method is split- ting a real bill into two) parts, pasting two halves of a counterfeit bill on the two genuine halves and thus making two bills out of one,| leach with one side that will pass muster at the most ex-! |The bank. | Thousands of dollars in bills of this type recently were put into circulation by a counterfeiting gang at Phil- adelphia.

These remarks apply with such force to the prac- tice of dentistry that I feel that every person in Seattle should read them. How much do you know of the quality of the work done by the un- known dentist into whose office you go when that aching tooth becomes unbearable? What do you know of his financial responsibility? What are prices? Frequently you never hear these until the work is done, and it is too late to protest or go elsewhere.
