George Hill will leave for Philadelphia early next week in the interest of the concern.
 The Department of the Interior has just published an excellent wo.k of 300 pages on "The Geo. graphy and Geology of Alaska" by Alfred H. Brooks, with section on "Climate,' by Cleveland Abbe Jr., and "A Topographic Map and Description Thereof" by R. U Goode. The whole is profusely illustrated and forms a work ol the greatest. interest.
 The work is one of those 'dry af- fairs" which apply to all govern ment publications, if the reader has no interest in the subject. But to the citizens of Alaska, or to the man or woman who desires tC know details of Alaska and to SC cure data on all sorts of questions no better publication could be con- ceived.
 It. deals with descriptive geo. graphy, including geographic fea' lures, drainage, Q history ol explorations and surveys, com plete records of climate with ex' haustive tables and an authentic report en.the geology of the great territory of Alaska.
 Aside from the articles on geology, the entire work has been prepared for the lay reader, and the descriptions are largely in non- technical language. Coming at a time when there is great hunger for correct. information regarding the Great Territory of Alaska, it is particularly appropriate.

.INr5. La1es/erIu

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound ;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

The New State
Of Oklahoma

Bigger than Missouri; as big as Ohio and
Indiana combined, with a soil teeming with
all the crops that any State raises,
OKLAHOMA-the new State-is destined
to occupy first rank in few short years.
Here at the present time over a million
people are duplicating the life which is
going on in Illinois and Indiana. Their
houses, their towns and their schools are
newer but in nothing else do their sur
roundings differ from those in our States.
Their cities and towns are growing and ex-
banding with the impetus of fertile soil,
and pushing, wide-awake citizenship.
Her settlers, mainly from the older States
see the virtue of encouraging enterprises of
every kind and the needfulness of getting
more and better facilities; of getting more
hands to develop the country.
In brief, conditions to-day are simply
these: OKLAHOMA is in need of nothing
save people. More men are needed in the
cities and towns; more farmers for The vast
areas of unimproved land not now yielding
crops of which it is capable, There are
openings of all sorts, for farmers and
artisans, for mills and manufacturing
plants, for small stores of all kinds.
