The members of the Board of Trade of Prince Rupert are enthusi- astic over advertising the city. In the past this organization has allow ed others to do all the advertising, but it will not do so in the future Five hundred dollars has been voted towards a folder, and $10O a month for two months was voted for adver- Using in the papers in the mining districts. that Prince Rupert is the hub of Northern British Columbia mining, and the place for prospectors 10 be outfitted. The feeling is pretty general that this is the most oppOrtune time for advertising in the citys history on account of the big mining boom this summer, not only at Portland Canal and at Queen Charlotte Islands but at the river camps.

The latest news from the IditarOd is brought by J. II. c. Cannon, who arrived on the steamer St Michael, says the Dawson News. MT. Gam mon found the Iditarod country over done, and is here to remain. He says:
 T came out of the Iditarod on the little steamer Dusty Diamond now tied up under libel proceedings, near the mouth of the Panama river.
 Five thousand people are in Idit arod City. Most of them are doing nothing Only 40 men are mining in the camp A good many having outfits are striking over the hills. If the country has any gold in it they likely will find it.
 Building construction proceeds slowly. The place seems to have little lumber, but there is not much demand for what there is.
 Most of the people are in tents. A large number of men are exposing themselves to great degree by sleeping on the ground. Rains are almost incessant. Mud is knee deep in the streets and elsewhere. The place has one saloon, no dance hall, no gambling and little amusement. Some of the old time dance hall lady artists tried their old system there, but could not make it pay and are pulling out.
 "The city has a miserable water supply. It is taken from wells. One man sells it for 25 cents a bucket, and one sells at the rate of two buckets for a quarter. The water Is muddy, and sickness is common. Not much is to be had in way of atten- tion for the sick.
 "The sickness is largely of the nature of ague. The men catch colds, and then come the shakes. Men, women and children are there with little encouraging. Many stores are opened in tents. Charley Miller has his restaurant going

Among Faith Headers


In his own experience DO cases of internal tumors had been sent to the London Hospital for operation certified as being tumors requiring operation by medical men of skill and experience. Not one of them required operation, and all of them disappeared under the most simple treatment. In purely physical cures it was the faith that cured. The object on which that faith rested was absolutely indifferent for the cure - that was to say, that the cure was the same whatever the ob- jective might be before the eye of faith at the time, whereas in all soul and spirit cures the object on which the faith rested was every thing.
 To illustrate what he meant, in physical cures faith might rest. and had rested. on a thermometer placed in the mouth, on medicine containing nothing but pure water, on the reputation of a clever doc tor, on an impostor such as Dowie, on idles in heather temples, and on Witchcraft Naturally they distinguish ed between a physical and a spirit and soul cure They understood that in physical cures the object was in different but that in soul and spirit healing the object of the faith was all. They got equal cures for the bones of saints, the dead bodies of saints, the imaginary miraculous ap- pearance of the Virgin. as they did ill Christianity. They could not dis ringuish the healing in one case from another in physical cures, but in soul and spiritual cures the object Was all important

A conference on The Revival of he Gifts of Healing in the Church" was held in England recently
 Dr. A r Schofeld speaking on the limitation of medical science and mental healing, said that the Iimita- fen Of the latter had never yet been reached. for there was no limit yet known to the mind Al present mental healing formed no part of the curriculum of the medical student. The Psychological Section of the British Medical Association was con cerned practically solely with the study of the insane mind, and the study of the sane mind in relation a medicine seemed never to have ben taken. The fact was thaf most toctors looked upon a patient large Y as d machine 10 be repaired, and regarded the patient with the eye of a mechanic.
 Wa had specialists innumerable, but what We yet wanted was a specialist of man." specialist who regarded patient as combined of spirit, soul and body, and who recog- nized that the interaction of the
 hree was so close that they could never touCh one without touching all. There could he no doubt that all disease was partly caused and partly cured by mind. As proof that mental healing had power over the material diseases, he might instance the won derful power it had over the plebeian ahliction of warts, Naricose veins also might be mentioned among many other organic diseases as having been cured in many instances by mental therapeutics only. Tumors also of all sorts seemed amenable to the power

AN OBJECT LESSON
 F0R SCEPT|CS

One of the most effective displays made at the exhibition of Panama products last night was a big cube, representing the gold production of the Fairbanks region since it became camp. It represented weight of S9A tons of gold or 17S,4S pounds, or 2,143,7 ounces troy, valued at $46,OO0,0OO.
 Another interesting exhibit was a column representing the value Of the gold output drawn to a scale of 1-25 natural size. Besides this column was another-insignifica by com parison-representin on the same scale the amount of gold paid by the United States to Russia for Alaska.
 Yet another exhibit excited con siderable interest This was re- plica of a $1,000 gold bar It looked quite insignificant, in spite of the fact that it was drawn to scale.

 Here are rows of locked lead vats. filled with tangles of hair-like zinc fibre, on which the gold is gradual ly precipitated The vats are clean ed up once a month, and a black pulpy slime, now very near to pure gold, is left It is further filtered and pressed, and becomes a flat black cake, put through the roast ing oven and taken out fine dry powder, put into a pear-shaped re ceptacle of plumbago in the tilting furnace, and tipped out again in buttons of gold Then it is refined in a still smaller furnace and pour ed into bar moulds.
 precautions that Nature had taken to disguise and safeguard her chief treasure have been attacked and conquered, and the tortured rock has yielded up the wealth deposited there at the beginning of the world She has been beaten by mans inge- nuity and slow progress of knowl- edge. There is no way in which she can hide up her gold but man will have it.
 In the early days of the Western Australian goldfields water was more precious even than gold. There was very little to drink and none to wash in. But the whole field 'iNo Oii 9Gl'y oOuhHSt, anu very soon after the first rush vast con densers were work Ing to produce distilled water. But this was at best a miserable make-shift, and at last a great enterprise was set in hand to give the now large popula- tion of the fields a satisfactory Wa ter supply. It is a scheme that any country might be proud of having put through. A practically limitless supply of water is conserved by a weir 23 miles from Perth, and thence to the goldfields, distance of $50 miles. It is carried in steel pipes, 5,000,000 gallons of it a day. and distributed everywhere it is wanted. You see the great 30-inch pipe running alongside the railway on your way up to Kalgoorlie, and every now and then pass a pumping station with little settlement round it, in the heart of the bush.
 This was the last great attack on Natures defence of her treasure, and now she has capitulated and is yielding up gold at the rate of mil lions a year.

SORE MOUTH IN PIGS
Comparatively Slight Ailment Easily
Cured II Animals Are Properly
Fed and Sheltered.
(By A. S. VALENTINE, v. Sd

icy "A. >. VALENTINE ". 81
Most farmers are familiar with the
ordinary forms of sore mouth in
young pigs, which is a comparatively
slight ailment and readily cured.
1t is indicated by redness and swell
ing of the gums and lining membranes
of the mouth and may result in a few
shallow ulcers.
Dipping the head of the affected
pig over and over again daily in a
warm two per cent. solution of per-
manganate of potash usually suffices
to quickly restore normal conditions
of the membranes, provided the pigs
occupy clean pens, are properly fed,
have good constitutions and are suf-
ficiently exercised.
1t is an altogether different matter,
however, when pigs are kept in filthy
quarters, where they are fed improper
food and are deprived of adequate
exercise, sunlight and fresh air.
A filth germ, known as Bacillus
Necrophonus, usually is prevalent in
such places and finding access to small
cuts or sores upon the membranes of
the mouth and skin of the nose quick
ly produces deep eating ulcers which
in time may even affect the bones Of
the snout. The disease now present
is termed "necrotic stomatitis'' and is
a most serious and deadly malady.
1t may be prevented by providing
brood sows a clean, disinfected, white
washed, airy, sunny. fresh bedded
place III which to farrow. The bacil-
lus mentioned is present in the ma
nure of swine, hence the necessity of
keeping the narrowing pen clean.
Also it is well to wash the udder of
the SOW with a two per cent. solution
of Goa, tar d~isinfectant before the pigs
are allowed to suck for the FIRST time
and to repeat the washings at least
once daily for a week or more.
AS an extra precaution the little
sha teeth found in the mouths of
some pigs at birth should be carefully
nipped off with pincers to prevent
them from decorating the tongue or
from scratching the noses of the pigs
mates during play or fights.
When the disease is seen mix lime
water freely with the food of the SOW,
clean up, disinfect and ~whitewash the
pens and put in fresh bedding. Scrape
each ulcer thoroughly and then lightly
cauterize with lunar caustic or dilute
nitric acid. Split open each boil or
round bunch on the nose and saturate
with tincture of iodine.
Afterward use tincture of iodine
freely once daily on sores outside of
the mouth and apply a five per cent.
solution of permanganate of potash
to the ulcers on the gums and lining
membranes within the mouth.

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when u baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours Of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally | got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and / am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
al cured. 1--WE have waited a year
and a half to see if it would return
but IL never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

breaking a kicking horse as follows:
Harness your horse as shown in the

a crupper is the best, cut out the
