The U. S. government and fisheries
exhibit must be seen if nothing else.
1t is the most complete ever made.
After your journey across the
country visit to the Transportation
building will pay you. The old
coach is there by the side of the B..
" o. railroad train. You will ap-
preciate what has been done for your
convenience after you have seen
them.
The electric light display is beyond
comparison. You must go to the
fair to have any idea of its beauty.
Beautiful, beautiful beyond belief
you exclaim. You sit enraptured
and gaze and gaze. Fairy-land, Just
Fairy-land; and the statuary from
pedestal, niche and grotto serve to
make it real.
To most of us the Philippine ey-
hlblt will be the most interesting.
You will come away with a very
different opinion of the grounds and
people. Look over the exhibit care
fully and visit the different tribes
encamped on the reservation.

A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

Mr.. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers in Nanesmond county
died recently while in the prime OF life. and
his Gcath illustrates fOrciby the Importance
OF certain precautions in business matters
that men are often likely TO overlook.
Nearly ali business men, and particularl,
men In the BUSH ess of farming, have plans in
hand at all times that others cannot take mn
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have ready money to cover delays
involved. as well as to continue operations
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed to tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such a thing is entirely a diff
ferent proposition.
Mr. Brinkley was always active In business
and seldom had large balance In bank. He
kept his money at work. AS a consequence
when stricken down by death. business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseen such difficulties and as prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking outa policy OF life insurance In
the Phoenix Mutual of Hartford. The money
received from The Ph@uix IN payment OF this
policy was. as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount TO his family In the
protection which it afforded its various
interests.
Upon receipt OF request We will send pam
phlet describing Phoenix policies.

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
tion to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
1T once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

TIE REINDEER INDUSTRY
IN ALASKA.

Uncle Sam has found a very econ om-
ical and successful way of sustaining
life among the Alaskan Eskimos.
About dollar and a quarter a year per
Caput pays the bills the "yalue re-
ceived" consisting Of reindeer, import
ed from Siberia, which furnish the
natives with food, clothing, means of
transportation, and other necessaries
of life.
1t Will be remembered that DR..
Sheldon jackson, the Alaskan agent
of the Bureau of Education, discov-
cred as for back as 1890 that these
people were rapidly losing the sources
of their food supply. The whales
were going further and further
northward, the walruses were disap-
pearing, the seals were becoming ex-
terminated, ard even the caribou had
departed. In other words the Rski-
mos of that region were face to face
with starvation.
The result was that in the follow
ing year QS91) DR.. jackson brought
over from Siberia the first lot of
reindeer, only sixteen, and started a
little colony of them on Unalaska, an
island lying of the bleak cost of
Alaska
At first the experiment was looked
on as rather waste of time and
money, but time came to the rescue,
and it was clearly proved that these
animals could be successfully i'm.
ported and taken care of, so that
now our good law makers are appro.
|priating $4,000 annually for in
+creasing the supply. The reindeer
have taken kindly to the native moss
which forms their principle article
of food and of course needs no out
lay for cultivation. There is said to
be enough of this moss in Alaska to
furnish plenty of food for 10, 100000
reindeer.
The first lot of reindeer imported
were selected from the Chukches
herds, tough and hardy breed.
Next, some of the tunguse stock
larger and stronger than the others.
were brought over. The price of the
former in Siberia is about $4 for a
full-grown animal, and of the latter
about $3.50 apiece.
ct the present rate of increase,
even if no more are imported, there
will be at least 1000, 900 reindeer in
Alaska in less than 25 years. To
go step further, it will not be at all
surprising, in the opinion of some, if
this industry should grow to be one
of considerable commercial impor-
tance to the United States, and it
has even been estimated that in some
thirty-five years Alaska may be in a
position to sell annually half a mil
lion to a million reindeer carcases,
besides furnishing several thousand
tons of hams and tongues. Nor may
it be figment of the brain to pre-
dict that at no very distant day. as
suggested by Mr.. Grosvenor, long
trains from Arctic and sub-Arctic
Alaska will roll into Seattle and
some of our other westernmost cities,
laden with cargoes of this very pala-
table food.
The profits that can be realized
from reindeer are, if correctly quoted
very large. For instance, a fawn
during the first four years of its life
costs the owner less than dollar a
year, while at the end of that period
it is worth $50 TO 500 for It's meat,
and nearly double that amount if
trained fol, the sled or as a pack
The does are very prolific, and af-
ter the year may be counted on to add
to the herd fawn year for some
ten years. They also furnish very
