Chang the head of China's new peace
mission, is still at the capital He has con-

proof in the last few days that it will make
q sincere effort to secure peace.

Although DR.. Walkers practice is large and ex-
teEsve and steadily increasing and his time is in
constant demand he has always firmly adhered to
his system of small fees. He never makes a
charge of any kind for consultation, examination

great skill within the reach Of all. In addition to
the large number of callers he sees daily, he yet
finds time to answer personally the many letters
he constantly receives from out-of-town sufferers
who seek his aid or advice. DR.. Walker makes it
an ronclad rule to only accept for treatment those
cases he KNOWS he can cure. Others are can
