He spoke very highly of Miss Ruth Kendrick who was born and reared at Plano, this county, and w'ho went as a missionary to Korea years ago, but who died about one year after arriving in that country, and whose remains are now at rest under the Korean sod. It was Mi.ss Kendrick who said, I had a thousand lives to live, Korea would have them Ju.st before she died in that far away country, she called a friend to her bedside and I die, go to Texas and tell the people to send missionaries to Korea by ten.s, twenties and fifties.

Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Chandler of Wylie have a big boy stopping at their home since August 24.

One of the happiest little women in tills old world was Mrs. W. H. Harris of Hugo, when she returned to her home on last Saturday. Mrs Harris came to McKinney just one month ago for treatment for that ter rlble disease, cancer.

She had visited the greatest specialists in Kansas (hty and St. Ijouis, and had not been able to get any permanent results She was told of the wonderful success of Dr. A. Caldwell of McKinney, Texas, in treating cancer, so she came here. Dr.

Caldwell diagnosed the case at once, and Mrs. Harris begged him to treat her. Harris to a reporter, said: am going home today, the happiest in the world. 1 have suffered greatly, but thank God, I am now cured. I have visited the greatest known specialists in the world at Kansas City and St.

and got no permanent relief. I was told that Dr. Caldwell at McKinney, Texa.s, could cure I came here without faith, because I had visited, and had been treated by the best and brainiest specialists. Some few liad their out for Dr. Caldwell, saying he was a etc.

I paid no attention to this, and thank God that I did not. Had listened to the knockers I know that I would still be afflicted today. As it is, I am sound and well. I found Dr. Caldwell one of the best posted men on medicine, and having one of the most sanitary, clean, up-to-date Sanitariums in the United States, ought to know, because, unfortunately I have visited several, seeking a cure.

The people of McKinney, Collin county, Texas, and the entire United States do not realize what you have right here in the little town of McKinney, in the way of a specialist and a sanitarium. I have only been here four weeks, yet 1 have been cured of cancer, and I have not words at my command to thank Dr. Caldwell for saving my life and restoring me to health and happiness." And the little eyes fairly sparkled while a sweet smile stole over her face, that made one feel happy for being in her presence, because she spoke the words of a true woman who appreciates being restor- eu to health, happiness and saved from a horrible death.
