NOW Is BEST TIME TO TAKE.
Directions to Prepare a Simple Home
Mixture.

A well-known authority on Rheu'
matism gives the following valua-
BILE, though simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can
easily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hali
ounce; Compound KargOn, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
MIX by shaking we'll in a bottle,
and take a teaspOOnful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good pre-
scription pharmacy at small cost,
and, being of valuable, extraction,
are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken
regularly for a few days, is said to
overcome almost any case OF Rhsu-
matism. The pain and swelling, if
any, diminishes with each dose, I'M
til permanent results are obtained,
without injuring the stomach.
While there are many so-called
Rheumatism remedies, patent med
icine, ETC., some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent re-
suits, and the above will, no doubt,
be greatly appreciated by many suf-
ferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood ELECTS the informa-
ton that these drugs are harmless
and can be bought separately, or
the druggists here will mix the pre-
scription for our readers if as ked to.

Alaska has already given the
biologists unmistaksble signs OF
having large areas containing
tin, and in one case particularly
tin ore has been found in large
quantities, but owing to the in
accessibility of the the district,
as yet, it has been impossible to
exploit the find to any extent.
1t cost three lives to discover the
mine, and the difficulties of the
climate prevented any other ex-
ploring parties from going there.
Tin was first discovered in the
Seward Peninsula in 1900 and
was known as "stream tin" In
1907 the Government Geological
Survey sent its experts to the
country and they found that the
country had valuable tin deposits
which could be worked with

Women Who Wear Well. .

1t Is astonishing how great change q
few years OF married life often make in
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form OF It's

Who're Our silver Goes.

China and India remain the
leading customers of the silver
mines, but both these Asiatic
lands have greatly curtailed
their purchases in the past cou-
pie of years. Just now the ba-
zaars of India are perhaps the
leading consumers of silver In
the entire world. India's alb
sorption of silver as been one of
the strange occurances OF the
past century. Silver flows to
the land of the Hindu and dis
appears, just as gold at the rate
of over $500, 100000 year is now
being swallowed mp by mankind.
Hard times and panics have no
influences apparently upon the
yellow metal nor the ability of
the world to devour it, but they
affect the white just as they do
the red and gray metals. Silver
like copper and iron has become
largelyu thing of ordinary
commerce instead of a money
medium. But since it is chiefly
used in the arts and sciences, sill
ver's value luctuates rapidly as
do other comodities when the
demand increases of falls sud-
denly. That is why a general
business depression hurts the
price of silver just as it does the
value of copper and iron.
