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.
DIR. 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
but an honest statement. The people
ask themselves, what does this mean,
and the answer impresses itself up
on them with force that compCls
conviction. Nothing but merit and
real conscientious work could pro-
duce such results and make such
record as this.
FREE X-RAY EXAMINATION
DR.. Horne never accepts q case
unless he knows to 4 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 all
parts of the body and find out to an
absolute certainty the cause of the
patients affection. Come and be ex-
amined; it is absolutely free. He viii
not charge you one cent. Come and
find out what your trouble is and he
will advise you in reference to a cure.
1t is all free. He asks no compensa-
ton.

The most vOracious of all marine
beasts of prey is the orca or killer
whale. 1t reaches length of twenty
five feet, and its jaws bristle with
teeth from four to six inches long and
as sharp as dirk knife. It's digestive
power is proportional to the tremen-

to be an atrocious glutton, as one speci-
men examined contained in its stomach

AMERICA wins It
The Contest for Alaskan Lands
Finally Settled.
MEANS A WONDERFUL GAIN
A Territory Rich In Mineral Deposits
No Longer In Doubt as TO
Rightfui Ownership.

The Alaskan boundary commission
In session in Linden, England, has ar
rived at an agreement whereby all the
American contentious are sustained,
with the exception of those In relation
to the Portland canal. which CANADA
wins. All that now remains to be done
Is for the commissioners to afiiX their
signatures to the instrument and COM
plete the map which will accomplish II.
On the map will be marked the
boundary lines definitely fixing the d.
vision of American and British terri
tory on such a basis that no American
citizen will lose q foot of land he al
ready believed he held, while the United
States will retain all the water ways to
the rich Alaskan territory, with the
exception of the Portland canal, which
gives Canada the one outlet h so
much needed.
The long-standing dispute was only
settled after a week of keen trying,
secret elaboration between the arbi-
traitors. Lord Alverstone, though open
ly inclinde to believe in the Justice OF
the American argument that the Unit
ed States vas entitled to the heads OF
inlets held out that Canada had estah-
lished her Ease dealing with the Port
land canal.
Senator Lodge. Secretary Root and
Secretary Turner agreed to cede those
points and to start the American
boundary line from the head OF the
Portland canal, thus giving the Canad-
ians that channel and some small is
lands on which there are only a few
disused stone houses. This accom-
plished, the majority of the tribunal
agreed to fix, with this exception, the
entire boundary as outlined in the
American case.
The main issue of the Canadian con-
tention involved the outlet from the
Klondike gold fields at the head of the
Lynn canal. including the ports of
Skagway and Dyea, through which the
Klondike gold business transacted.
These ports remain American terri
tory. The decision is taken to concede
the American claim. The Americans
laid special stress upon their conten-
ton that this strip should be measured
from the heads of bays, while the Ca
nadians argued that the measurement
should be from the main water of the
ocean.

Hanna Wants Peace on Earth.

Senator Hanna. who presided over
the civic federation in Chicago, ap-
pealed to thinking men TO devote their
best efforts to bring peace to industrial
conditions. He expressed the opinion
that the federation would solve all
vexed questions in the future. He said:
The very existence of our continued
prosperity depends upon the success of
this movement. The labor question Is
far more important than that of the
selection Of a president. Thirty years
ago as mine operator I participated in
a labor strike in the Ohio region. |
made up by mind then there is a bet
ter way to settle differences between
capital and labor than by strikes. I
appeal to all intelligent men of the
country to aid US in this work for the
good or humanity. The denunciation
OF labor leaders from political plat
forms Is unfair. They are human and
make mistakes. Our u~nrivaled pros
perity has brought about undue agita-
ton.

Canada. told the federation that com
pulsory arbitration had been provided
