1t was announced unofficially imme-

that the language to be used should
suit the convenience of the individu-
al members. Rosen states that IL a
treaty is agreed upon it would most
likely be in the French language, but
from a high but unofficial source it
is learned the first action of the en-
voys was the presentation and read
ing of the presidents identical note
to Japan and Russia advocating peace
and urging the appointment of pleni-
potentiaries, thus forming the basis
of conference. The answer OF the
Japanese government was then read
and part of the records. The ac-
ceptance of the Russian government
followed, and the credentials of Witte
were presented and approved. The
Japanese present theirs this afternoon

HOW PATIENTS ARE TREATED

The erroneous idea of embarrass-
ment, exposure and nudity, which
many hold of Osteopathic treatment
keeps many women away, who feel
the need of its ad. Nothing can be
further from truth. The custom OF
the masseur in having the skin for
work, and the failure to distinguish
between Osteopathy and massage is
probably the cause of it.
The truth is the Osteopath prefers
not to work on the bare skin.
Men remove the coat and vest and
usually the outer shirt. Women re
move corset heavy outer garments
and put on a wrapper or kimona. The
patient is then seated on stool or ta-
BILE, or in some cases lies on treating
table. Thus it is seen there is nothing
