matchless means which the master
physician has brought to the aid of
science; that the attention of the
whole civilized world is now drawn to
the unceasing wonder of results, in
wolves no mystery.
To the rare gift of healing has been
added the rarest opportunities and
training, and the cures of the great X
Ray doctors are but the natural tri-
umphs of their lives
DR.. Horne wishes to emphasize the
fact that during the summer months
chronic diseases of whatever nature
are cured in one-half the time that
would be required during the inclem-
ent winter weather. Nature lends her
aid TO the physician and cures are
accomplished at this season of the
year in a comparatively short time.
DR.HORNE CURING THE SICK.
Each week, standing boldly out
from amidst the failures of others,
DR.. Horne publishes the names and
addresses of people cured, people well
known in the community. people
whose standing forbids the thought
of their lending their names to any
DuJ an honest statement. Inc people
ask themselves, what does this mean,
and the answer impresses itself up
on them with a force that cumpels
conviction. Nothing but merit and
real conscientious work could pro-
duce such results and make such
record as this.

unless he knows to certainty the
cause of the trouble. and this can only
he determined by scientific examin-
alton. His N-Ray outfit is the most
elaborate and complete in this cuun-
try. BY his special microscopic at
tachment he is able to examine all
parts of the body and find out to an
absolute certainty the cause of the

A FARM TO BREED WOLVES.
Kansas Ranchmen See a Good Thing
In Dollar IA Scalp Bounty.


The county commissioners of Lane
county, Kan, have stopped paying
bounties on wolf scalps pending the
investigation of a story that a wolf
breeding ranch has been established in
the northern part of the county, says a
Dighton dispatch to the Kansas City
Star. With the price of scalps at
dollar each, the business of raising
wolves pays better than many of the
industries in this part of the state.
1t is reported ut DightOn that several
of the ranchmcn in the northern part
of the county have established a breed
ing place for the animals in some of
the canyons along Walnut creek. \
surprisingly large number of pelts have
been brought in from that part of the
county, and an investigation will be
made.
