J. R. Reece, alternate delegates to the National Dental sociation which meets in Chicago in August. The next meeting will be held in Peoria, Peoria has had a big delegation here and has taken unusual interest in the proceedings of the convention. Retaining Teeth.

False teeth are frequently diffienit to retain in the mouth, especially those made to replace the teeth in the lower jaw. The problem to of Full Dentures (Plates to Replace All the Teeth)" was discust by a master hand last night in the person of Dr. Rupert E. Hall, of Chicago. Dr.

Hall has made nomenal progress in the last tew years in making impressions for ting scribed plates how to the mouth He dehe makes use of the physical forces, principally suction and the power of a vacuum, for the retention in the mouth of full plates By the old method of making impressions the plates when made lie on the floor of the mouth and are easily displaced, and, in fact, cause the person considerable trouble to retain them until he has become accustomed to holding them with his tongue and lower mouth muscles. Dr. Hall has found a way to make impressions so that the soft tissues will be displaced by the plate, the contour of the mouth being so closely followed and the tissues closing over the edges of the plate with such closeness and accuracy that a verltable vacuum is formed when the plate is pulled from its place. Instead of the new plates floating around they are attached so close to the mouth that the wearer himself finds difficulty in displacing them. A11 this must be done without due strain upon the muscles of the mouth.

This discovery is revolu- A dentist's present standing in the National Army of the United States was the topic discoursed upon by Col. H. 0. Scott, D. C.

U. S. Camp Grant, yesterday afternoon. The old standing of dentists in the army was very poor years ago, said Dr. Scott.

In those days a dentist went in on contract and held no standing in military sense. Later he was lowed the rank of lieutenant and atter eight years of service became captains and after twenty -four years of service ranked as majors. A predominance of head wounds in this war, caused by the nature of trench warfare made dentistry and oral surgery so important that 1m- mediate provision was made for dentists. Dr. Logan was placed at the head of the surgeons' corps.

Now 1,800 dentists are in the medical reserve corps and 200 in the regular army. A total of 4,500 dentists have been commissioned, but all have not been assigned. This is enough for fifteen million men at the present rate of apportionment, which is one dentist for each 1,000 men in the army. A movement is under way to get the proportion down to one dentist to every 700 men. Dr.

Scott is a dentist of the old regular army. Senior dentists have been given the preference in the awarding of of. fices. He served seven years in the Philippines and is now the head man at Camp Grant. Preventive Dentistry.

The keynote of the meetings yesterday was, "This is the age of preventative dentistry rather than repariative dentistry." Following the trend of all hygienic lines the dentists are working now to prevent sickness rather than fixing things up after the worst is over. All discussions were of unusual interest yesterday. The men feel that they are getting what they came for. This noon finishes the convention. Interesting clinics at the Coliseum will be held today.

Resolutions were drafted last night expressing the gratefulness of the dental society for the kindness of the mayor, Association of Commerce, First Christian church trustees, local committee of dentists, and all who OF ALL KINDS SIGNS E. 211 T.

Denied Motion to Quash Writ of Certeriorari and Allows Motion to Quash Record. In an opinion handed down terday in circuit court Judge Welty ruled against the proponents the, of the McLean community high school and declared that he was of the opinion that the law under which there was an attempt to ganize la invalid. The action came into the etreuft court thru petition for writ of certeriorari filed by certain land owners who had been included in the proposed district, who sought by the petition to have the records of the election brought into court that the court might review them to see whether the election was valid in the eyes of the law. Following the filing of the petition the respondent who by virtue of the law was in this matter, B. C.

Moore, county superintendent, entered motion to quash the writ. On the other aide motion was entered to quash the record of the election. The motion to quash the writ was denied by Judge Welty yesterday, and the motion to quash the record allowed, which means that the election declared invalid by the local court. The full text of the opinion will throw light upon the whole matter. The opinion follows: The Ruling.

Section 89 of the school law of 1917 attacked by the plaintiffs on the following, among other grounds: 1. That is violates section of article of the state constitution, wherein it provides that "the eral assembly shall not pass local or special laws granting to any portion, association or individuals any special or exclusive privilege, Immunity or franchise whatever." Under sectione 85, 87 and 88, high school districta may be organized without the consent of the county superintendent, but -under section 89, community high school trict possessing the same rights, powers and duties other bish school districts can not be organized unless the county superintendent first approves and determines each of the following matters: 1. The form of the district. The size of the district. 3.

The assessed valuation of the district. The number of prospective high school pupils. 5. Whether the proposed district will make a satisfactory and lent high school district. 6.

Whether existing school tricts may be divided by the posed high school district boundaries. In my opinion section 89 of the school law does discriminate in favor of certain citizens and territory as against other citizens and territory, by giving them rights and privileges others do not have, and therefore violates the above constitutional provision. 2. That the school law under which the district is claimed to be established is not a complete law, in that it does not define or specify the requisites of a satisfactory and efficient community high school district, but leaves that matter in the bosom of and to the discretion of the county superintendent of schools, without any rules or limitations for the exercise of such discretion. In effect It delegates to the county superintendent of schools the power to make the law as to what is a 1sfactory and efficient high school district.

The qualifications for such a district will vary with the dents of different counties, and may vary in the same county between A superintendent and his successor. In my opinion such a law is invalid. Other objections have been made the law in question which have more or less merit, but in view of the above two objections I am of the opinion that the motion to quash the writ should be denied and the motion to quash the record be allowed. SAIN WELTY, Judge. Found Insane.

Mrs. Hannah F. McGraw. 1407 West Elm street, was visited by a commission from the county court yesterday. The commission inquired into her mental condition and came to the conclusion that she was fering from melancholia and Judge Riley has ordered her committed to the state hospital at Peoria for treatment.

Distracted. Mrs. Belle Rees of near Heyworth, was adjudged to be a fit person to have a conservator appointed for her by a jury in the county court yesterday. The matter was contested, but the jury did not take long in arriving at their verdict. The petition to have the conservator appointed was filed by Grover C.

Rees, a son. It was brought out in the testimony that Mrs. Rees Is also the mother of Clinton Rees, who was recently in the county jail following the suicide of a photographer in Leroy and a scrape in which he was concerned. He has been praying upon his mother, the testimony related, and it wag for the purpose of conserving the property that the action was brought. The farm sists of 107 acres near Leroy, mortgaged for $14,000 and worth about $16,000.

The mother gave Clinton Rees a quit claim deed to the erty May 9 last, which was recorded May 13 and which was after the petition to have Mrs. Rees declared distracted. Judgment by Confession. Judgment by confession was taken in the circuit court yesterday by the Corn Belt Bank, Bloomington, against Louis F. Oertwig in the sum of $1,100.

H. Fisher. CITY OFFICIALS VISIT GARBAGE PLANTS INCINERATORS DO NOT DISPOSE OF ALL WASTE. Question Still Looms Up as Big as Ever -To Discuss Matter Today. Mayor E.

E. Jones, City sioner A. G. Erickson and tion Counsel Dolan made hurried trip to Highland Park and Elgin yesterday to Investigate and inspect the garbage reduction plants maintained by those cities. The city ticiala returned last night and will make report of their tiona at the city council meeting this morning.

Mayor Jones reported last night that the plants visited by the ington delegation work out tory insofar as they are capable of handling certain kinds of garbage, but it is making no hazardous sertion to say that he will not reommend that the city of Biomington install a garbage reduction plant immediately, at the elty council meeting today. The plants at Eigin and Highland Park, the mayor says, are capable of handling only material which comes under the literal head ol garbage. This it disposes of admirably, Such things tin cans and old scrap Iron cannot be posed of by meany of garbage duction plants, Waste material other than actual garbage constitutes the greater part of every city's garbage. In Elgin the mayor reported the reduction plant is operated only ing the summer months, so small to the percentage of garbage which can be disposed of by means of the plant, The garbage matter still confronts the city in as formidable manner as ever. Its size has not diminished and no definte manner has yet been determined upon for ita disposal.

of 10 the plants would handle all kinds waste matter, the question would be an easy one to solve. Mayor Jones said last night that suitable dumping grounds for the city's garbage would probably be the beat manner of disposing of the garbage at the present time. In cursing the disposal of ashes the mayor pointed out the monthly cost of each householder in the city for the handling of his ashes. This, multiplied by the number of holders in city and the twelve months of the year, makes an tonishing large total cost to the individual householders. Whether the city will assume to take care of the ashes has not yet of course been decided upon.

The matter will probably be discussed at considerable length at the council meeting today. THE MEHLIN SONS INVERTED GRAND PIANOS Containing the Patented Grand Plate and Grand Scale.
