t day, April 5th. The only charge that
will bo mado is for tho medicine used,
which must bo paid cash. To very
poor patients the medicine will be fur
nlshed free also. The object of tho
United Doctors in making this grand
free offer is to secure a few supposedly
incurable cases quickly to demonstrate
tho tremendous curative powers of this
wonderful new system of medicine as
used by tho United Doctors. These
specialists solicit one or two of the
most difficult cases from each locality
in order to show what can bo done by
scientific treatment, even in tho worst
forms of diseases.
Tho treatment used by the Uuited
Doctors is a non-surgical. They never
uso tho knife, never mutilate the body
which God has built in bis image. Only
tho best and purest of drugs are used
by these specialists, their motto being
that every sick person is entitled to
tho best medicines that are to be found
in nature, regardless of cost. To ob

MILLERS WIN RATE CASE
Reduction In Flour Tariff Between
Minneapolis and New York.
Washington, March 29. Tho Inter
state commerce commission ordered
tho lako and rallioml rates on flour
from Minneapolis to New York City
and the Atlantic Hcaboard reduced
from 23 cents per 100 pounds to 21V..
cents, beginning Mny 10, for tv i years.
This decides the famous case of tho
northwestern millers ngainst tho t won
ty-nine lake and rail lines In favor -of
tho millers, who complained that the
rate of 23 cents was unreasonable and
was a discrimination against Minneap
oils nnd the northwest in favor of the
millers of Buffalo, as compured with
the all-rail rate east from Buffalo.
In making tho decision, which was
written by Commissioner Clark, the
commission reviews the gradual ab
sorption of tho great lakes ti asporta
tion lines by the railroads, compares
the differences in rates on flour nnd
wheat and orders a reduction to 21'c.

WHEAT PRICES ADVANCE
Corn and Oats Lose Gains on Realiz
ing Sales.
Chicago, March 28 Continued
drouth in the southwest enabled the
bulls to force wheat prices still high
tain pure drugs they prepare all of the
medicine in their own labratory and
thus every patient is assured a pure
medicine the best obtainable regardless
of cost.
Tho expensive and elaborate instru
ments used in diagnosis and the ex
treme care used in securing pure drugs
and preparing them specially for each
case makes the treatment used by the
United Doctors more cxpensivo than
ordinary treatment, yet the large num
ber ot patients treated makes it pos
sible to placo the price of treatment
within the reach of all. This is really
a very remarkable and generous offer
by these great specialists. It is an offer
of free treatment until well, regardless
of the length of time. This offer is
good only in cases accepted for treat
ment during their visit in Alliance on
Monday, April 4th and Tuesday, April
5h.
Consultation and examination is free
but only curable cases will bo accepted
for treatment. If your case is incura
ble you will be told so and not one
penny of your monty accepted. How
ever, mauy cases that arc incurable by
old methods can be quickly cured by
this woudcrful new treatment of the
United Doctors.

Wanamaker's Advice
"If there is one business on earth
that a quitter should leave severely
alone, it is advertising," says John
Wanamnker. "To make a success of
advertising one must be prepared to
stick to it like a barnacle 911 a boat's
bottom. He should know before be be
ginsfthat he must spend moneycon
siderable of it. Somebody should tell
him that he cannot hope to reap re
sults commensurate with his expendi
ture early in the game.
"Advertising doesn't jerk; it pulls.
I It begins very gently at first, but the
pull is steady. It increases day by day
and year by year, until it exerts an ir
resistable power. It is likened to a
team pulling a heavy load. A thoutan I
spasmodic, jerky pulls will tiot budge
the load, while one-half the power ex
erted in steady effort will start and
keep it moving. There are three ways
to make advertising pay, and there are
only three wuj s. There are no others.
"First, is to keep at it; second, is to
keep at it; third, is to keep at it."
A recent issue of the Hastings
Daily Republican has the follow
ing: "The paramount issues: To
down Cannonism, Aldrichisin,
Morganism and Uoekefellerisin."
We rise to remark that if the
.people had a direct vote on na
tional issues they would soon
deprive Cannon, Aldrieh, otah,
of their tyrannical powers.
