Three Spanish Ships Bronght $103.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. — Three
Spanish ships captured by Admiral
Dewey in Manila bay May 1, 1508
were sold by the pavy department for
$103. These ships were advertised at
several Asiatic ports, the total cost of
advertising being $28, and the navy
department ls quite well satisfied that
the bids were sufficient to cover the
expense of advertising. The three
ships are the Albay, Manileno and
Mindanao. They have been stripped
of everything movable and are simply
old hulks, practically useless for aay
purpose of the navy.

A quarier os a century ago we
placed some gold fillings in thé teeth
fo a well known gentleman al pres-
ent a vesident of Sayrd. These fill-
ings today are just as bright, firm

made. We will tell you the name of
the party, of you wish to see kim

There are variations in dental
workmanship, just as there are dif-
ferences sn the various brands of
Bowr. If you desire the faghest de-
gree of proficiency—the skill and
knowledge that will make YOUR
fillings serviceable twenty-five years
from today——come in or "phone for
an appointment, On the other hand,
ff you take pleasure sn having your
teeth filled over and over again every
year or two, you should go elsewhere
