Vancouver, 3. C.-President Hard

The arrival of the chief executive

and destroyer Patrician. When the
president stepped down the gangplank
he was greeted by another salute,
fired by the sixty-eighth battery of
the Fifteenth brigade, Canadian field
artillery, and taken up by the Cur
lew.
The president was received by q
combined guard of honor from the
Curlew and Patrician, another guard
with kings and regimental colors, two
military bands and a detail of the
royal Canadian mounted police. For
NAL welcome was extended at the pier
by officials of the dominion, the pro-

city of Vancouver After making a
brief response, Mr.. Harding, with
Mrs. Harding and other members Of
the party, were escorted to automo-

SEA ADDS TO ENGLAND'S SIZE
Silt Cast Up by the Ocean Retained
In Such a Manner That a New
Beach Is Being Formed.

England's area is growing. Some
geographers in London say that in
few years 1t will be necessary to revise
the physical maps OF the country as
result of the phenomenon. For in
stance the coast line at Hastings Is
now half mile nearer France than 1t
was some time ago. In the dim future
1t may be permissible for tourists to
regard the English channel with dis
dain. Coastal erosion formerly caused
much concern, especially on the part Of
big land owners; but now engineers
have got busy and have been able not
only to check erosion in some parts of
the shore by means of groins, but to
add large slices of land to Englands
littoral. Al elaborate system of groins
on the south coast has been developed
to check the ravageS of the floods
which at spring tide used to put some
Of the streets of Hastings under water.
A groin is sort Of breakwater built
across q beach in such a manner as to
retain the sediment washed up by high
tide, together with the earth that
otherwise would float away at ebb.
Thus not only have the floods been re-
duced, but a new beach developed.
While the south coast is rapidly re-
gaining new territory, the eastern and
northern shores are losing consider
able, particularly In Lincolnshire. But
losses are not proving as great as land
reclaimed and II Is expected that the
construction of grolns will be as eff
fective elsewhere as 1t has been on the
channel

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often

has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
tected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
