 MT. Fox seemingly enjoys joke as much as any one, and his latest IS we'll worth repeating. The Juneau Record reached his store last Saturday and MT.

 Our old friend Louis l.. Blumenthal has an advertisement on the local page under the heading of the Brownville Woolen Mills.

Be Patient.

AbO uSdA VI "O SOO " ANSNA4'e NP NAAS forms of this issue, the more we be- come convinced that the first number of the News will not be entirely satis- factory in makeup and appearance. We were smoked out of our office for several days this week, which threw us behind with our work.
 When you go to Juneau to dc your trading, always go to the Kohler-James store. There are many reasons why you should do this. In the first place you will save money, for you can get the same goods cheaper there than any place in town. Then the manager and his clerks are so pleasant and accomo- dating. You can't find a Smart Alex" among them. Another reason is you can get just what you want, for they run the largest stock in Alaska. By all means go to the store anyhow, even if you don't trade there that trip; no- tice how nice and pleasant customers are waited on, and if you give them a trial you will do your trading there.
 We were so fortunate as to secure the services of MT. w. o. Graham to as sist us in the News office. All around newspaper men are hard to find in Alaska, but luck favored us with assls- tance that is so satisfactory that we would ask for no better. MT. Graham formerly run big job office in Kansas City, but his thirst for gold brought him here. He intends to go to Atlin in the spring at which time the office will put on a dress of deep mourning.
 We regret that we could not attend the mask ball recently held in this city. It was a swell affair. The costumes were elegant, unique and comical, as the wearer preferred. One gentleman wore pair of trousers with holes in the seat. His underwear was whole, however. The music was good and the dancers all reported pleasant time
 JIG. Quinn, of the Juneau Electric Construction Co.,, was in the city yes terday. He has lots of friends in this city and is deserving of them.

Don't Be Careless About Fire.

We wish to sound note of warning concerning the carelessness that causes fires this time of year. A fire in Doug las City means the wiping out of the greater portion of the town. Don't be careless. Keep your lamps full and clean, see that your ashes have no live coals in them when thrown out-be icareful-you may save your home or the town by avoiding carelessness.

Parsnip Complexion.

1t does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallov
parship-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask you if you haC
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble
desire to urinate often, or a burning OF
scalding in passing it; if after passing
there is an unsatisfied feeling as il il
must be at once repeated, or if the urine
has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When the symptoms are present, nc
time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel catarrh ol
the bladder, inflammation, causing stop
page and sometimes requiring the draw
ing of the urine with instruments. ol
may run into Bright's Disease the most
dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is a positive remed, !,
for such diseases. Its reputation is
worldwide and it is so easy to get at any
drug store that no one need suffer any
length of time for want of it.
However, il you prefer to first test
its wonderful merits, mention True Nor
therner and write to DIR. Kilmer a. Co.

and book telling all about it, both sen,
absolutely free by mail.

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfeld, H.,
makes the statement, that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she was
treated for month by her family ply
sician, but grew worse. He told her she
was hopeless victim of consumption
and that no medicine could cure her.
Her druggist suggested Dr. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption; she bought
a bottle and to her delight found herself
benefited from first dose. She contin-
ued its use and after taking six bottles,
found herself sound and well; now does
her own housework, and is as well as she
ever was.-Free trial bottles of this Great
Discovery at Longwell Bros, Drug Store

Catarrh Can Be Cured.

By eradicating from the blood the
scrofulous taints which cause it. Hoods
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh, promptly and
permanently, because it strikes at the
root of the trouble
The rich, pure blood which it makes
circulating through the delicate passages
of the mucous membranes, soothes and
rebuilds the tissues, giving them ten
dency to health instead of disease, and
ultimately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods Sarsaparilla
strengthens, invigorates and energies
the whole system and makes the debili-
tated victim of catarrh feel that new life
has been impaired.
Do not daily with snuffs, inhalants OF
other local applications, but take Hoods
Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh absolutely
and surely by removing the causes which
produce it. 77t4
