IDIrARoD MINERS
 GO TO KUsKoKWIM

The Aniak river, in the KuSkO- kwim country, to which a stam- pede is now reported to be in pro- gross from the Iditarod, is the place where the first gold discov- cry in Alaska was made by the Russians, in 1882. It is not known whether they ever attempted min ing on large scale or whether they at that time found gold in paying quantities, but it is the first time on record of gold be- ing found in the territory. To this day the river is known as tb' Yellow river on the Russian maps, because of the gold found there.
 The Aniak river lies about 25 miles below KOlmakofsky, where a fort was built by Lukccn and called Lukccn's fort, the same year as the discovery, 1892.
 II is reported of the present strike that gold has been found on five different creeks. As a con sequence the town is being dcpOp- ulaicd by those crossing overland to the KuskOkwim. A town has been started at the mouth of the Aniak.

One of the most interesting of these

The accompanying illustrations
show concrete house design, which,
although simple and inexpensive. can
be made exceedingly attractive. The
lower portions of this house, the
foundations and first story walls, are
made of concrete blocks of uniform
sizes and right here is where a most
artiatic and interesting effect can be
obtained by means of proper surface
finish on these blocks.
The concrete block industry has
passed through number of years of
experimentation 1t has suffered at
the hands Of inexperienced block max
ers whose product has been used by
amateur and unskilled house design
ers, the result in general being poor
building material used in an awkward
and inappropriate way. The little
block men have talked "cheapness"
until this fine material was in danger
of becoming discredited for anything
but cheap work.
The recent cement shows have
proved conclusively, however, that
there have been giant strides in the
concrete block industry, both in the
manufacture of the blocks and in the
methods of finishing them, and of
using them in modern construction.
The complaint has been made that
blocks absorb so much water that any
house made of them Is always very
damp. At several of the exhibits,
however, demonstration concrete
blocks were made showing an absorp-
ton Of less than one per cent, which
is much less than the standard grades
of brick and building stone. These
blocks were made with a very wet

There are faces with pebbles show

Because the Mercury in the
Calomel Attacks the Bones
and Develops a Painful
Mercurial Rheumatism.

Calomel is powerful mercurial drug.
That is why 1t is used as strong pur-
gative In obstinate biliousness. The
mercury will crash into the sour bile,
break 1t up and throw 1t off forcibly,
and it is the shock OF the mercury and
the bile coming together that causes
the awful nausea, vomiting and some
times even salvation. A shock such
as this always weakens the system and
leaves 1t in susceptible condition, and
In a few weeks there is another bilious
attack and another dose OF calomel is
necessary. 1t does not require much
reasoning to prove that each bilious
attack roots into the system a little
deeper and greater shock is necessary
to dislodge 1t. And every dose of Gallo
mel that you take is putting mercury
into your system. and mercury is a
powerful chemical which attacks the
bones and causes a gradual wasting
