AND THE SENATOR SUBSIDIZED
EdIson's ReJoInder to Statesman Who
Had Corrected His Pronuncia-
tlon Was Crushing.

Thomas A. Edison, whose question
naire to college graduates excited a
good deal Of wrath in college circles,
can hold his own with anybody.
Once at dinner In New York a
learned senator from Harvard took
Mr.. Edison to task for pronouncing
the word Curator" in the Scottish
way-the inventor is Of Scottish Pres
byterian descent-with the accent on
the first syllable.
"Mr. Edison" the senator said, at
Is the usual custom to pronounce this
word curator, following the analogy
Of the Latin, In which tongue, as
you're doubtless aware, the penulti-
mate syllable is long,
"Thank you," said the great in
ventOr. Il suppose you know, how
ever, that II is the Scottish custom to
follow the analogy Of the English, and
to accent the word on its first rather
than Its second syllable; but of course
bow to the authority of so learned
senator and SO eloquent an ora
tor as yourself"

II. S. and Mexico
Claim Rich Land

years ago-a few soldiers In far
away military outposts-were away In
the Civil war, and until the Mexican
border garrisons were likewise busy
fighting for or against the Austrian
usurper Macmillan, the river between
1863 and 1865 deserted Its old channel
few blocks below the principal busi-
ness district of Ell Paso for bed
approximately a quarter of mile
farther west and south, which. in the
main, II still occupies. Chamizal lies
between the old bed and the new.
Cause of Controversy.
The controversy hinges on whether
this change was accomplished by ac-
cretions or by evulsion. The United
States' position is that the change,
though relatively rapid, came about
through gradual alterations Of the
channel extending over several years
and not at all as the result of sud-
den break through dry land. Hence,
say the Americans, the international
boundary according to the 1S4S treaty
follows the present river channel and
the ChamiZal zone is American terri
tory. On the other hand, the Mexican
government claims that the alterations
Of the Cos were the result of evulsion,
making ChamiZal Mexican.
Neither government regarded the

If You Med a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who, have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it,.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

RIVER CAUSES CONTROVERSY
IncorrigIpiy vagrant Habits OF the

Ell faso, Tex.-When 6OO-acre

overbalance these largely hypothetical

At least these are the conclusions

lumber and milling interests who In
the last twenty years have built up,

Sixty-Year-OId Controversy.
The ChamiZsl controversy, now ap-

 Nothing now remains of this temple. The last occasion upon which 1t ap- peared in history was when it was 5isitcd by the Princess Kapilani in lS24, when the royal Hawaiian Christian journeyed to the volcano for he purpose of uttering defiance to Pelc. The journey formed the motif of one of Alfred Lord Tennyson's poems.
