Postum Food Coffee, for know that TO be health
full, strengthening and perfectly natural liquid
food. short time thereafter the little folks
spoken Of were entirely well of their slight palsy
1t is distressing state of affairs where parents
permit children to use ordinary coffee.
Many cases have come TO my notice where the
taste Of Postum was not liked but In all such
cases. the dislike arises from the failure to prop
eriy boil 1t. 1t is a very tasteless liquid when
underboiled and very delicious, strong, rich sat
sfying coffee when boiled long enough to bring out
the flavor and food value. DIR. Helen Coe, 267 w.

while they ran the line according TO their
own interested views clear down to the

Even the so-called conventional line pro-
posed as an equitable compromise between
the two claims cut the United States off
from the control of the Lynn canal along
the greater part of its length
The towns of Dyea and Skaguay do not
appear on the map. They are practically
| the result of the boom which has struck
southern Alaska since 1887. They lie al the
head of the Lynn canal, on opposite sides
of the river, just below White pass. If
the Canadian claim is granted and Pyra-
mid harbor is given TO Canada by drawing
the line at or south of those points,
both Dyea and Skaguay will fall within
Canadian territory
1t IS to be noted that the conventional
line proposed in the Canadian map ex-
actly comedies with the present Canadian
claim that Pyramid harbor belongs to
Canada.
Another interesting point about this map
is that the lowest line, dotted in the re-
production, which shows the extreme Ca
madam claim that the true boundary fol-
lows the crest of the mountains without
any reference to the ten-league limit noted
IN the treaties, cuts across Lynn canal very
near ITS mouth by taking advantage of two
abutting headlands which suddenly cut the

six miles. This width is claimed by CaEada

THE DISPUTED TERRITORY.
The Points in Alaska Most Seriously
at Issue.


The map herewith shown covers that por-
ton of the disputed Alaskan boundary
which embraces the points now most seri-
ously in issue between the governments. 1t
is reproduced from the print of an official
Canadian map included in the publication
Of documents concerning the boundary dis
pute submitted to Congress by President
Cleveland in 1889. Besides permitting a
conception of the precise areas involved in
the boundary controversy, this map af-
fords an interesting commentary upon the
attitude of the Canadian government in
the matter. Among the maps presented in
the official document Is one marked "Ofti-
cal Canadian Map of British Columbia,
1854" 1t is devoid of the controversial fea-
lures which appear in the map reproduced
in part herewith. 1t shows the 1nternation-
al boundary southwark from Mount St.
Elias as running generally along the course
marked in the map now given. In the map
of 1884 this line is designated "Approxi-
mate International Boundary by Conven-
ton Between Great Britain and Russia,
1928" In the map of 1887 from which the
accompanying cut is prepared this same
line is designated: Lire approximately
shown on L. S. coast survey map of Alas

the treaty reference to mountains and that

after the map which set forth the bound
ary as swinging far inland around the
Lynn canal. The sentiments of the geog
raphers had materially changed as to the
situation in those three years. Whereas
in 1884 they officially acknowledged the
inland line to be that agreed upon by Eng
land and Russia in 1925, in 1887 they de-
nounced that line as being the ultra, un-
warranted claim on the United States,
