Since its organization in 1926. the
American Tract Society from its Of
Ace in New York has printed and dis
tributed throughout the world nearly
l0, 000, 100000 pages of religious lit
erature. The extent Of this work can
be realized by comparison. II the
pages were on an average six inches
square, the entire number would
form complete cover for about 81
900 acres. They would make a tent
of paper over a whole county. The
work of distributing tracts and re-
ligious books continues and in
creases, developing along most inter-
esting lines.
The whole number of distinct pub
locations issued by the Tract society
in New York since it's beginning, not
including periodicals, is 1886, of
which 2,032 have been books. The
society has aided, also, in the publca-
ton of 5,013 different books or tracts
IN foreign countries, making total
OF l3,349 separate varieties of books
and tracts which the society has sent
out. OF each one of these books and
pamphlets a great number has been
issued-more than 100000 books
and more than 446,000,00O tracts. Be-
sides, the society publishes seven
distinct periodicals., monthly and
weekly papers, of which more than
100000 are circulated every year.

War Strength Of United States.
The Placing Of Eleven Million Men in the Field Would Be
Task Of No Great Magnitude for Uncle Sam The Neces>
shy Should Ar1se-An Unequaled Showing

Eleven millions of intelligent, cour-
ageous men. That is the military
strength of the United States at the
present time.
With the enactment of the new
National Guard law the country, dur
ing a term of peace, is placed on a
stronger military footing than ever
before in it's history. Some idea of
the immensely of this force can be
appreciated when. it is realized that
this number would make eleven arm
les as large as that magnificent host
of seasoned veterans under the COM
mand of Grant at the close of the war
between the states,
European nations may we'll ponder
over. the significant fact that in the
twinkling of an eye Uncle Sam could
place an army in the field which
could not be duplicated, and which
would challenge the admiration of the
civilized world. While the idea of q
large standing army is repugnant to
the American mind, it is true, never
theless, that the United States has
approached nearer to a standing
army than ever before. 1t is prepar-
ed 70 defend the Monroe doctrine, the
maintenance of which many leading
statesmen believe will precipitate the
next war. Under the new law this
vast army thoroughly armed and
equipped and trained for the serious
business of war can be mustered

In the Adirondacks upon large dairy

might have said, What is the profit
on this milk?' or What does 1t
cost and what do you get for it?'
Not so, however, with Mr.. Rockefeller.
He said to the farmer, What do you
pay fer your silo and what do you pay
for your labor ETC., and a few other
innocent questions. Then he took q

Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women are
SO because they are suffering from some
form of female disease. BY far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
of recovery. Female trouble is so common,
so prevalent. that they accept it as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in tho
way of recovery is that they do not under
stand that it is catarrh which is the sources
of their illness.
In female complaint, ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY LINE
No Information Given Out by the State
Department

1t is impossible to learn at the State De-
partment whether or not Count Baronor.'s
alleged discovery of boundary stones af-
fecting Dawson City, mentioned in A recent
San Francisco Dispatch has been COM
municated to the department formally, for
the reason that the department is bound
by the rules of international courtesy 10
refrain from disclosing any part of the
case it has prepared for submission to the
revelation of Baronoff's may or may not be
included 1t is. however, pointed out that
that part of Alaska next to Dawson City
is separated from the Canadian possessions
by an arbitrary line fixed by a magnetic
meridian, therefore the location of ancient
boundary monuments would be of little
value at the present day, for all that would
be necessary to establish the line beyond
question would be to make a set of astro-
nomical and magnetic observations to de-
termine the exact location of the 14lst de-
gree of longitude. a task which could be
completed in one season.
1t appears that since the government be-
gan the collection of data bearing on the
boundary line controversy it has been del
uged with letters from all sorts of people
protesting secret knowledge of important
facts relating to the location of the bound
airy line. The department has gone so far
to have expert examinations made in
half a dozen instances where trappers and
Indians. Russians and miners have report
ed the discovery of missing boundary
stones but, as already stated, whether or
not it has strengthened its case by any of
these searches it refuses to disclose at this
moment,
