SAME OFFER MADE LAST DE.
GENDER.
All Present Patients to Receive Sub
stantial Reductions as Their
Christmas Gift.


The following Christmas month OF.
Ter is an Identical reproduction OF
the one made by the United Doctors
TO sick people last December at their
Wheeling institute. and the benefits
OF this offer will be fully appreciated
by those hundreds who took advan-
tage OF the last one.
II is decidedly a novelty for a ply
stefan or physicians to give every
patient Christmas gilt and. I'm fact.
the process Is usually reversed. The
United Doctors, who have their Wheel.
Ing offices on the second floor OF the
McLain building al ~ Twelfth street,
near Market street, have made the
following remarkable offer.
The offer Is that consultation. eN.
animation and all treatments will be-
given free (except for bare cost OF
medicine and its dstributionD TO all
new patients accepted for treatment
.. before Christmas day. This does not
simply mean that the new patients
are TO obtain free treatment only for
his short time. but 10 means n they
start treatment before December 25th
they will be treated free CeXcept far
bare cost OF medicine and ITS distri.
butionl until they are entirely we'll
All the present patients OF the United
Doctors are to obtain either a direct
refund OF part money paid. a substau-
tial reduction in their future treat
ment or extra treatment with no
charge even for medicine.
The United Doctors reason for the
offer will be OF Interest 10 all sick
and ailing people. and incidentally
show why the United Doctors have
gained the esteem OF every cOmmun.
/ ity in which they have institutes. and
there are many United Doctor insti
tutes in cities OF the United States.
The United Doctors system OF
| medicine is different from all others
I They have United" the IN rec sepa.
J rate methods OF medicine. viz. the
Allopathic, Homeopathic and Eclectic
and made one system OF treatment
from this. whereas the average doc

already been taken toward that end and
through the efforts Of Representative
Holmberg and others q meeting of rep
resentative citizens Of the county was
held with the county board at the court
house yesterday. afternoon when the
matter was taken up for consideration.
Supt E. G. Higbie Of the state agri-
cultural school at Morris was here upon
invitation and addressed the meeting.
He explained the purpose Of the new
law which provides for the appropria-
ton Of $4,000 by the state. giving
maintenance OF an agricultural bureau.
He gave it as his opinion that this is
one Of the greatest movements looking
to the betterment of conditions on the
farm that has ever been inaugurated
in the state and he pointed out some of
the many benefits to be derived from
this bureau. .,.., $50 u s
The law provides that the county
receiving the $1,000 from the state must
appropriate $1,000 and to this sum must
be added $1,000 more from other sour
ces to maintain the bureau. Congress
has bill pending, which, If it becomes
law, as it likely will, makes provision
for q federal appropriation for this
purpose and which, with The state and

Hill Hill Interests Preparing to Com.
bat Steel Combine.

That the Great Northern railroad
interests are preparing to engage in
active competition with the United
States Steel corporation on the
Minnesota iron ranges after Jan.
l, 1915, is indicated by the sixth an
nual report of the trustees of the
roads iron ore properties just issued.
With 430,021,773 tons of ore in sight
and straight down grade haul to the
Head of the Lakes the Hill interests
threaten the supremacy of the great
combine in Northern Minnesota.
Added interest is given to the re-
port by the employment of Carmi
Thompson, former treasurer Of the
United States, to take charge of all
the Hill ore properties. It is believed
that he will head the operating forces
Of the Hill interests and be the leader
Of the expected struggle with the great
Steel corporation. -. IL: I:
!; While the trustees are careful to
avoid any direct announcement OF
their apparent intention to operate
these properties when the steel com
bine lease expires, yet the report
broadly intimates this is the course
they will pursue. - -.
