Mr.. Henry Gannett geographer of the
geological survey, has been revising the
dictionary of attitudes of the United States
and new edition of that book will be pub
lished shortly. Several important noun
tains have been measured more accurately
particularly Mt. Whitney, Mt Rainier ana
the high peaks of Alaska. Rainier is IA ,'63
feet in height instead of I4,444 as given IN
the guide books and railway advertise
mcnts, which have accepted a measurement
made by the coast survey twenty-five or
thirty years ago. Mt. Whitney Is IA, 443
feet high, and the highest peak in Call
lorna, but Il is no longer the highest IN
the United States proper, as has been sup
posed, because Mt. Dckerman, in WASH
ington, is found to be 10 T66 feet in height
Mt. Shasta is 14,3So feet and exceeds
Rainier by II feet, according to the latest
measurements, which Will be blow to the

falls short of her claims. She has no
mountain over EGO feet. Mt Hood ac-
cording to old mea surement has been
given as II 922, but, according to a new
measurement, has been depressed TO ll,2'!5

The highest mountain in the United States
is Mt. Mckinley. in Alaska. 1t has been

for many years was supposed to be the

"Before we can symrathize with

ing attendant upon an attack of the
grip, unless he has had the actual en-
perience. There is probably 10 disease
that causes SO much physical and men

ties medical aid. All danger front the
grip, however, may be avoided by the

who have used this remedy, not one case
has ever been reported that has resulted
in pneumonia or that has not recovered.
