ENORMOUS BUSINESS DONE.

Pawn shops appear to be necessary
In all civilized countries. and while
there are many men in the business
who would make Shylock turn green
with envy. these shops are not to be
regarded as evil in all respects. NIu-
nicipal regulations have eliminated
many Of the bad practices. and it is
probable that the pawn shops have a
decent excuse for their existence.
Not every one can make provision
for the proverbial rainy day. SO in
cases Of death. sickness or lack OF en-
ployment the pawn shops perform a
really important function. preventing
starvation in some cases and suicide
in others.
There are five municipal pawn
shops in Hamburg. Germany. and nu-
merous private pawnbrokers licensed
by the police department. the business
being carried on freely and openly.
and being regarded as legitimate.
Loans are made usually for six
months. when the agreement expires
II not prolonged. Twelve months af-
ter the expiration OF an agreement
without renewal the pledge must be
sold. The profits Of such auction
sales are retained by the pawnbroker
six weeks. and any surplus realized
above the amount OF loan and ac-
crued interest may be claimed by the
recipient Of the loan within that time
Unclaimed balances are turned over

PAINTING THE HOUSE

the conclusion that man is natural

told me l had forgotten to paint the

Dolly one morning, after had spruced

don't. And don't forget the peak on

the sash to the garage were not
touched, either And you also failed
to varnish the pine ceiling on the

WATCH POSLAM WORK.
Results Are Seen After a Single Ap-
plication.

Anyone wishing to test poslam, the
new skin remedy, for the rapidity of
its action should select a red spot or
small part of a surface where the
skin is extensively broken out. Pos
lam should be applied on this place
at night and results noted in the
morning by comparison with the sur
rounding skin, which has not been
treated. Surprising results are seen,
particularly when poslam is used for
red and inhamed noses, fever blisters,
pimples, rash, scaly scalp, itching feet,
sunburn, etc. The beneficial action
of this new healing agent in eczema,
acne, psoriasis, BARRIERS itch, piles,
etc, begins with first application when
all itching is stopped and continues
unremittingly until its work is done
Cases of these troubles, of years
standing has been completely eradi-
Gated by poslam after other remedies
were abandoned as Intellectual
A special 5o-cent package of pos
lam is prepared for minor uses and
this, as we'll as the regular s. jar, is
on sale by all druggists, particularly
The Palisade Pharmacy
A sample of poslam, which will af-
ford a convincing test, will be sent
by mail, free of charge, to anyone who
will write to the Emergency Labora-
tories, 81 West 25th street, New York

Report Mining Deal

L. I. Watson, of Prince Rupert,
was local visitor for a day or two
the beginning of the week. As
usual, Mr.. Watson is full of min
ing deals, either made or in the
making, One he reports, which,
if true, will mean much to Wrang-
ell. 1t is to the effect that a
syndicate headed by Elliott, we'll
known mining man of British Col
umbia, has lately closed a deal
whereby they acquire possession of
the Kirk copper property near
Glenora. This property has been
prospected pretty thoroughly, as
one man who is in position to
know says, Much of the ore is
high grade, and will no doubt in
crease as depth is reached, 1t will
easily pay for shipping down the
river, especially if, as Mr.. Watson
states, the company interested puts
its own line of steamers on the run. "
