night’s rest will restore ithe spine
to a natural posture once more.
We feel sure that the road will be
splendidly taken care of and that
M.r, Kinney will boost us for a
little more money to attend to
this. Of course we can always
hope at any rate.
And now we nave Dr. Seeley,
the flying dentist with us in his
own plane accompanied by his

out of touch with them here.

we hope.

ing It’s cer ainly a vast improve
ment, a pleasant sight will meet
the gaze of cheechaccos that wilul
