Although DR.. Walkers practice is large and

constant demand he has always firmly adhered to
his system Of small fees. He never makes a charge

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-oftown sufferers who

ironclad rule to only accept for treatment those
cases he KNOWS he can cure. Others are candidly

Gently Secretary Morton tricked the spec

they were obtaining information from the

arranged that figures should be placed
where they could be obtained by two for

were suspected of collision with brokers,
which indicated that the forthcoming re-

ply of wheat In the United States was

learned by telegram from Chicago that
spectators there were predicting that the
report of the department would show the
wheat supply to be 154.0O00o0 bushels.
