Many Alaskan people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know 'hese organs need help. Sick kidneys are resDons- ible for a vast amount of suffering and i'll health, but there is no need to suffer nor remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.

TRADING AT HOME.

Perhaps there Is no one question that Is more consistently and thor oughly threshed out in the press Of Alaska than that of patronIzlng home industry. Pick up any paper, and you are almost sure to see an article along these lines. The newspapers are con uuually fighting to retain trade at home for their home merchants. and yet. too often these same merchants. when they want printing done, send away to the States for 1t.
 There are a few-a very iew-mer- chants who follow this policy. who yet would be mortally offended if 1t were suggested tO them that it they tradCI at hone they would have more right to expect others to trade at home with them. In most cases the argument is advanced that they can get their print ing done cheaper in Seattle than they can here. This Is true In most cases. It is equally true that the average consumer can purchase the average commodity cheaper below than he can or hIs home merchant. An 1t is true suu that this is false economy.

NATIVE ALASKAN WOMEN
ORGANIZE FOR PROGRESS

All the world knows about Alaska
SHOWS, Alaska scenery, Alaska forests,
Alaska gold. But of the home life, the
churches, missions, schools, social or
CARNATIONS, the women and children
who are living their lives under and
near the midnight sun, and who are
helping to make the history of that
vast country, it knows very little.
Despite the exceptional disadvantages
of rigorous climate, almost prohibitory
distances, inaccessible wildernesses, of
primitive means of communication, dur
ing the last six months the courageous
woman citizens of Alaska, with no.
ticeable number of native women as
sisting, have effected organizations in
fourteen towns and settlements and
developed a spirit of friendly emulation
that has been felt far up into the
Darkest North.
In this they have had leader, Mrs.
Mary E. Hart, who has known Alaska
and Alaskans since 1900 She was the
collector and curator of the Alaskan
exhibit at the St. Louis exposition.
The appointment of Mrs. Hart to the
office and duty of looking out for the
educational, art and woman's exhibit
of Alaska at the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific
exposition this summer in Seattle,
Wash, met with general approval

known from end to end of the country
for the good she has done in just this
particular line.
1t is the general purpose to make the
exhibit tell the story of Alaska COM
pletely, and in 1t will be arranged I'M
der the departments of history religion,
education, literature, photography, art
(native and generaD, botany and agri-
culture, showing native and cultivated
fruits, flowers, plants and trees, needle
work, the native work being fully ex-
plotted, ethnology, geology, including
mineralogy, ornithology, conchology,
and also an exposition of the status
of Alaska in the matter of hospitals
and in fraternal organizations.
