Ottawa, 0nt,, April 23.-Arranga.
aents have been concluded between
the government and the WASHINGTON
authorities for the purpose of review
ing and maintaining the boundary line
marks between the United States and
Canada. II is over 40 years since the
international boundary between the
United States and Canada from Lake
Superior and the Pacific coast was
definitely fixed and it is over 50 years
Or more since it was marked out be-
tween the Lake Superior and Atlantic
coast.
The necessity for this work has
arisen out of commercial claims in
Southern British Columbia. Work will
therefore be commenced in that re-
sion early this summer The survey
branch of the department Of the in
terror is now arranging to send men
into the field to begin operations.

FATAL DEFECT IN TITLE
Law Creating Minnesota Board of Con.
troll May Be Pronounced Void.

ST. Paul, April 23.-By reason of the
defect in the title of the act by which
1t was created the board of control
may be debarred from entering into
service when the time comes. 1t is
now the contention that either this de-
feet will have to be corrected or the
bill made to conform to the title. The
bill provides that the board shall have
control of all the state institutions,
which includes the state university
and other educational as well as the
correctional and charitable institu-
tions. But the title of the act speci-
fies the correctional and charitable"
as distinguished from the "educa.
tional institutions and in this lies the
flaw.

Nine Ounces of Prevention y

Never lean with the back upon
anything that Is cold.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately go out into the cold
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder blades, well covered
also the chest we'll protected. In
sleeping in a cold room establish the
habit of breathing through the nose,
and never with the mouth open.
Never GO to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for,
unless the skin il in active condi
ton, the cold will close the pores
and favor congestion or other dis
eases.
After exercise of anv kind, never
ride in an open carriage or near the
window of a train for a moment; il
is dangerous to health and even
life.
When hoarse, sneak as little as
possible until the htarseness is re-
covered from, else the voice may be
permanently lost or difficulties OF
the throat be produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire,
and never continue keeping the
back exposed to heat after it has be-
come comfortably warm. To dc
otherwise is facilitating.
When going from a warm atmos-
phere into a cooler one, keep the
mouth closed, so that the air may be
warmed by its passage through the
nose ere it reaches the lungs.-Tablt

CONCENTRATION.
A Course of instruction for Those
Whose Attention is Hard to Con-
centrate, and Whose Minds
Wander Too Easily From
the Work in Hand.
PRICE, $1.Oo.
The American Boy,

No man can succeed who has not con-
centration. That is the first requisite to
success. lfyo9 csaa1t fix your mind
upon your work YOU cannot do your
work. If you cannot do your work you
cannot succeed. That much is very
evident. The strange part of it is that
men do nOtunderstand that concentra-
tion is property which can be very
easily attained. 1t is a power which is
easily cultivated. 1t is just as easy as
learning the multiplication table-but,
yon must know What to do.
These teachings are in the form of a
Course of instruction in Concentration
which should be used as textbook in
schools. Concentration is such mar
velous help to the young that If parents
would see to it that the habit of concen-
tration was acquired in childhood ac-
cording to this thorough system, there
would be no failures to complain of
among adults. And how easily the
mind of the adult, which has lost it's
grip upon the voluntary attention, can

The courthouse at this place caught
fire at 30 O'Clock this morning and

was a two story brick building
about sixty feet square, and was
built more than quarter of CEN
fury ago at cost of between 800
600 and $50 900. The loss Is a total
Que, as there was no insurance. All
the re- cords of the various offi ces ex-
cept those in the Clerk and Masters
office were destroyed. Circuit Court
was TO convene today, and in the
absence of any other explanation OF
the origin of the fire, the belief is
expressed that it was the work OF
incendiaries who feared the result OF
litigation to come Up at this term,
and took this means of destroying
the records in the hope of defeating
the ends of the law. There is, how
ever, no clue tn the guilty parties.
