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 Y
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 comparatively short time.
DRHORNE 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 we'll
known in the community, people
whose standing forbids the thought
of their lending their names to any
but an honest statement. The people
ask themselves, what does this mean,
and the answer impresses itself up
on them with force that cOmpels
conviction. Nothing but merit and
real conscientious work could pro-
duce such results and make such a
record as this.
FREE N-RAY EXAMINATION
Dr. Horne never accepts case
unless he knows to a certainty the
cause of the trouble, and this can only
be determined by scientific eXamin-
alton. His N-Ray outfit is the most
elaborate and complete in this coun-
try. BY his special microscopic at
tachment he is able to examine al
parts of the body and find out to an
absolute certainty the cause of the
patients affection. Come and be eN-
amined; it is absolutely free. He Will
not charge you one cent. Come and
find out what your trouble is and lie
will advise you in reference to a cure.
1t is all free. He asks no compensa-
ton.

MILLIONS INCREASE.
Wages Throughout the United States
Show a Big Aggregate Advance.
Great Railroad and Industrial IncOr-
porations VIII Pay to Employees
over Thirty Fig hi Million More
DoIIars Than Lat Year.

Ware-earners throughout the United
States will receive, by many millions,
more money duiing 1903 than ever be-
fore in the history of the country. IN
creases in wages granted by the great
railroad and industrial corporations
within the last two months show that
during the coming year 656,oOo EN-
ployes will receive $38, 350,0OO more
than they did last year. Negotiations
are now in progress by which 10000
employees Of various railroads in the
west and south will receive increases
aggregating 100000 annually.
Scores upon scores Of small corpora
tions or business firms, each employ
ing a few hundred men or women, have
made wage advances There is no way
Of computing exactly the number of
these or the employees or the amounts
involved, but conservative estimate
Of the grand total Of employees who
will receive higher wages during 1908
is 9OO,O 900, and the sum involved will
be in the ncighborhood of $4,000, 900.
Railroad men receive more gener-
Gus share Of the increase in wages
than any other class of workingmen.
There are about 100000 men en-
ployed by the railroads of the coun-
try, including everybody from the la
borcr up to the president. OF these
100000 over COO, 900, or more than one
half, will receive on an average 10
per cent. more in wages than they did
in 1902.
Not only have direct increases in
wages been granted, but other corpor-
atoms have devised schemes by which
employees will be able to share substan-
italy in the profits. Stockholders in
the railroads which have made the in
creases will not suffer. In fact, the in
dications are that they will gain mate
rally by the increase, as ID was en-
ploycd as reason for advancing
freight rates from 10 to 20 per cent.

ALL FROGS GOOD TO EAT.
There Sc ems to BE No Special variety
for Ealing, But the Toads
Are Barred.

The demand for frogs is great. 1t
has increased with the years until now
at almost every banquet OF Importance
the dainty is on the menu. All OF the
larger dining places use from six to ten
dozen per day. OF these creatures,
which according to a scientific paper,
are waiting to be classified by law as
to whether they are fish or animals
just as women had to wait for centu-
ries to find out whether or not they
had souls-there seems to be no es-
pecial variety for eating, says San
Francisco exchange. They are caught
anywhere, and, as small boy SAID:
"All frogs are good to eat II they are
not toads."
Boys and girls with nets much like
those used in catching butterflies, only
much stronger, can be seen making
for the small streams and ponds that
spot the fields about San Francisco.
The average small boy is an expert in
catching, killing and dressing the pal
atable creatures. 1t is no unusual
sight to see away off in the field from
the car line jolly little bonfire around
which a few sturdy young sons OF
America are busy preparing feast.
They broil the tender white flesh,
which they sprinkle with salt, and
basic with bit of butter, carried
perhaps in cinnamon can in pocket
along with fshhooks, keys, marbles
and string. The frogs may not be
served on silver shells; they may be
garnished only with a spray OF fresh
watercress, but ! wager they are en-
joyed as much by the youngsters, who
are their own chefs and walters, as a
similar dish otherwise cooked and
served would be by grown-up bewhls-
kered epicures.

In Charming.

1t is still true that westward the
course of empire takes its way, but
any one who disdains the teachings
Of the east must be superficial stu
dent of human life and manner, says
Youths Companion.
A company Of japanese, baron
and baroness with their suite, have
been visiting the United States for
the study of certain commercial con-
tions. As they sailed away on a great
ocean-liner they showed to marked
advantage among the throng Of
American and English tourists.
They were short, swarthy, plain Of
feature, as we count plainness, save
for one extremely pretty young
woman. But they had the manners
of great mobiles. They were gentle Of
bearing considerate of the claims and
the pleasures of others, low-voiced,
unconscious-or seemingly uncon-
scious-of rude stares or noisy com
ment.
Their courtesy among themselves
was beautiful to watch. 1t was no.
ticeable that the radiant girl was
not more devotedly attended by the
men than were the middle-aged wom-
en- who had no slightest pretension
to beauty.
Among the crowd of loud-speaking,
pushing, self-satisfed dwelIers in
this western hemisphere this little
group of casterners were like some
white, still bloom Of one of their
own exquisitely blossoming trees

the cultivation that forgets nothing,
omits nothing that may enhance the
charm of social life and intercourse.
