CUTICuRA.
Soap, Ointment and Pills
the Worlds Greatest
Skin Cures.
PRICE The SET ST
Complete Treatment for Every
humour, from pimples
to ScIofula.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as i'll eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of
hair and crusting of the scalp, as in
SCALED head the facial Disagreement,
as in piinples and ringworm; the
awful suffering of infants and the
anxiety of WORKOUT parents, as in
milk crust, letter, and salt rheum, all
demand remedy Of almost super
human virtues to successfully cope
with them. That Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment, and Pills are such stands proven
beyond all doubt. No statement is
made regarding them that is not justi-
fed by the strongest evidence. The
purity and sweetness, the power to
afford immediate relief, the certainty
of speedy and permanent cure, the alb
so1ute safety and great economy, have
made them the standard skin cures
and humour remedies of the civilized
world.
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered the Cuticura remedies is
their worldwide sale, due to the per-
sonal recommendations of those who
have used them. From small begin
ming in the simplest form, against
prejudice and opposition, agains st
monied hosts, countless rivals, and
trade Indifference, Cuticura remedies
have become the greatest curatives of
their time, and, in fact, of all time,
for nowhere in the history of medicine
is to be found H'.other approaching
them in popularity and sale. In every
cline and with every people they have
met with the same rece ption. The
confines of thc earth are the only
limits to their growth. They have

The Sweating Process by Which Con- fessions Are Forced from Sus-
 poets and PrJoners.

'The prisoners in our country are treated like kings and princes as compared with those of ROu- mania," said John T. Ekalls, of Portland, Me-, according to the Louisville Herald.
 "l chanced to be in Roumania about six months ago and saw a man arrested. Being curious. I de termined to watch and learn what they did with him. He was not tried and released the next day. as he would have been in this country. but was subjected to mcdiaeva' tortures. He was whipped witt. the sO-called sand sausape. bac filled with wet sand. This instru ment of torture inhicts terrible pain. but leaves no marks what. ever on the body of the culprit.
 "This particular prisoner was tortured in order to wrest from him a confession whether or not the kissing of an actress had been the result of d precOncertcd con spiracy. He denied if and was then treated to the joys of the ash bag that is, his head was put in a bar filed with ashes. The jailers beat with a stick upon the bag causing the ashes to penetrate into the eyes. month, nostrils and ears of the prisoner.
 "The process was then wound TIT ny what is known as the 'truth finder sort of wooden forcep. by which the temples cf the pris oner are compressed. This was toa much for the man. He confessed q lie.
 "I was.glad to learn few days later, however. that the torturers had been removed from office fOY their unseemly work"

The Young Mans Country

It is simply one mans opinion, but after being all over Alaska and knowing full well its vast territory and wonderful latent resources do you know what we would do if we were going to "boost for Alaska ?" We would adopt the best plan pos sible to induce young enterprising men to come to this great northern country "and grow UP with it."
 There certainly is no country in the world where there are SD many opportunities for individual effort as there are here. Alaska is a lit tie world within itself. Neither the conventionalities of society or the handicaps of corporation rule interfere with the full exercise of the individuality of the young, energetic fellow who wishes to rise by his own efforts and will-power. True he can go to the demnition bow-wows, ii he choses, equally as well as he can in any country on earth for the restraints are few, yet the temptations are not SO great as in the great cities of the States.
 But this much can be said, what ever IS IN a young man who comes to Alaska, be it good or had, has a wonderful opportunity to expand and grow. Alaska is the young mans opportunity to show what's in him. Transcript.
The Alaska prospector., 1905-10-26

Speaking of outside advertising Tn Alaska papers the Nome Nugget wants to know where the consis- tency is in advocating a "trade at home" policy, and at the same time selling advertising space to patent medicine firms for one-tenth Of what the local merchants have to pay. The Nugget says that if space is worth dollar an inch to the home merchant it is worth that to the Remington Advertising Agency, which has been securing space in number of Alaska pa- pers at less than ten cents an inch per month for Mustang Liniment ads. Any paper in Alaska whose space IS not worth a great deal more than that is worth nothing as an advertising medium.
The Alaska prospector., 1905-10-26

Congressman Julius Kahn, of san Francisco, says: "The treat ment that Alaska has received is an outrage. and the decent thing for this congress to do will be to do give 1t some sort of a represent ative. l am in favor of an elective delegate, but if not that. anything so as to give the senators and con- gressmcn some one in Washington who can talk intelligently on Alas ka and the needs of the people"

Secretary Gowan, of the Nome chamber of commerce, the man who issued the call for the Seattle coif vention, has been discharged from the chamber for using his official position to blackmail citizens of Nome. Probably nothing will be done with him for promoting the scheme to blackmail Alaska, by calling q convention at Seattle on the plea that no place in Alaska is large enough.
The Alaska prospector., 1905-10-26

The Seattle Commonwealth says says that the statement of the Seat tie chamber of commerce that Alas kans have no kick coming on the way Seattle merchants treat them, does not convince the fellow who has been buncoed.
 "Why does not the chamber get right down to business and find out something from the man who has bought? Why do they not ask the man who bought, that is he contracted for and paid for, a harness of the highest grade and durability and when he arrived at Valdez found that he had been buncoed good and proper by har- ness maker of Seattle?
 1t would be we'll for Seattle that the chamber of Commerce pay q little more attention to the facts in the case and do a little less of whitewashing. Get down to busi- ness and work to hold the Alaska trade"

To save the steamship companies the expense of notifying their agents by wire of sailing dates of vessels, the cable officials have or dered that such news be sent free of charge.
 We would respectfully suggest that the press of Alaska would be willing to consider proposition by which they could receive their cable news free of charge.
