THE POST DISCOVERY

what is known starch indigestion.

only safe way to such Is TO correct

working out his discovery, that people who show
weakness in digesting the starchy part of
food (which Is much the largest part of all we
eat must be helped by having the starch digested
or transformed before being eaten. And of course
the safest and truest way to do this would be TO
initiate nature and AVOID all chemicals or outside

starchy food by the following process: First 1t is
mixed with the moisture juices Of the mouth

Pasturage in Alaska.

Secretary Wilson believes that Alaska is
destined to be great dairy country. There
are on the southern coast" he says, from
Cook Inlet to Unalaska, about 10000 square
miles of pasture covered with luxuriant
growth of grass often six feet high, and
on the higher elevations and more exposed
situations where the grasses are too short
for cutting hay, they are nutritious and fur
nish splendid pasture. Several small herds
o. mich cows have been kept in some Of the
villages for years, and their fat and sleek
condition and the amount of milk they give
furnish an ocular demonstration of the pos
sibflities of section of country which peo-
pie usually consider worthless In some
places cows belonging to the natives are
forced to live through the winter with little
or no care, and have sustained themselves
by feeding on browse and seaweed. White
people who take good care of their stock
feed them from five to six months and that
may be considered necessary to keep the
animals in good condition.
1.-The Alaskan coast furnishes many ad-
mirable sites for dairy colonies, both On the
islands and the mainland and there is such
great wealth of grass that / believe that
section will ultimately become great dairy
country. 1 do not know where any better
opportunity or greater advantages for
dairymen can be found in the United States
or any other country today. Certainly
steads can be had for the asking In view
of the enormous area Of this rich pasturage,
and because of the increasing demand for
butter and cheese, / believe that Alaska Is
going to be one of the most profitable dairy
countries in the world"

Experiment With Sheep and Cattle.

Secretary Wilson Is not so confident Of the
advantages of Alaska for sheep, although
he says that the experiments so far made
have not been fair to the country, because
the sheep were taken from the warm arid
regions of California, Oregon and Utah,
where the climate is very different from
that of Alaska and there are very slight
changes of temperature. He thinks that
sheep taken from upper Canada or Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, the New England
states. Scotland or the Scandinavian coun-
tries Will do much better, and that expert
ment is going to be tried. Naturally the
same is true of CATTLE Secretary Wilson
does not encourage people to take cows to
Alaska from the mild climates of the Pa
cine coast and the western states -
An elaborate system of experiments con-
quoted during the past few years has DEM
onstrated that wheat barley and oats may

The plan of reorganization of the De-

Wall ST. has the following pro-
visions that may be of interest to this
section, in view of the efforts now be-
ing made by Fl. H. Hollins & Co. to
buy the s. & w. Railroad:
"The plan proposed is not merely a
plan of reorganization, but also con-
templates a substantial improvement
of the railroad and its equipment. The
committee has been enabled to present
such a plan in view of the offer OF
Messrs. Fl. B. Hollins & Co. to furnish
the cash hereinafter mentioned and to
use their best efforts to bring about ar
rangements insuring additional ton
mage and mutually advantageous
trackage agreements with connecting
lines, of such character as to increase
substantially and permanently the
earning capacity of the property.
The participation of Messrs. H. B.
Hollins & Go. in the plan is condition
cd upon the assent thereto of the hold
ers of first mortgage bonds or trust
company's receipts representing the
same, in an amount satisfactory to
Messrs. H. B. Hollins & Co.
The cash to be provided if the plan
becomes operative, which has been
fixed at SO, 100000, is to be applied to
pay all claims having priority to the
lien of the present bonds, expenses Of
reorganization and underwriting com
missions, balance to be paid into treas

upon is about $4,000, and it is more

are U. S. Archer, M. H. Weller, S. G.

"The @, H. 6 D. is not interested

The Detroit Southern will use the

of trackage will avoid duplication OF
