Health and strenatl

The work Of housekeeping woman
makes constant call in her strength
and vitality, and sickness comes through
her kidneys and bladder oftener than
she knows. Foley Kidney Pills will in.
vigorate and restore her, and weak
back, nervousness, aching joints and
irregular bladder action will all disap-
pear when Foley Kidney Pills are used.

Firemen's Ball

Last night the Treadwell Club was blaze of splendor. The occasion was Che ninth annual ball of the Tresdwen Are department. The entire Club building was turned over to the dancers and was tastily decorated. At the main entrance a fremen's track car, bearing rolls of hose aud other paraphernalia, and decorated with colors, greeted the guests and carried a suggestion of the nature of the organization.
 The auditorium was profuse with streamers of bunting, and in the bill Hard room a pleasing effect w,s accom- plished by a combination of green boughs. Mounted on a platform in the center of the large room was hose cart
 At or near the close of the dance the guests were conducted along powered pathway, where sparkling lights glis tened through interlacing boughs, to the large boarding house, where the dining room vied with the dancing hall in beauty of decorations.
 No nobler organization exists than the Treadwell fire department; fiue husky body of men who are associated for the purpose of protecting the prop erty where they are employed. Their active and willing services constitute a more perfect safeguard than insurance can give. As a mark of appreciation the Treadwell company each year pro- vides for a grand annual ball, in which DO peuse is spared. It is the great

WEDNESDAY. JULY g, 1913
The Celebration


 A day of joy and pleasure, mixed with anxiety. The Fourth is over, and as the days grow shorter, we will soon center our thoughts on winter and Christmas.
 The sun came out nice and bright on the morning of the Fourth and every body was happy. However, before the hose races were over clouds began to gather and by the time for the ball game rain was falling But stiff breeze from the north drove the clouds away, and the rest of the day was all that could be desired.
 Only small crowd witnessed the hose racing at Treadwell, which began promptly at S.3O a. m. Seven teams, of ten men each, participated The event was interesting and at times exciting, especially SO when Steve Ferris clung to the ladder with one arm and clinch- ed the nozzle with the other, while a full head of water in the hose threat ened to shake him from his position and plunge him down Co death. AL most too dangerous to be appreciated as a sport. The contest with its $500 prize was won by the Bullion team.
 The dr;liiug contests were held at Treadwell on the erening of July 3rd. The single-haud cuntest was won by Wm. PisOs and the double by John Vsleso0 aud Tom Capel.
 The exercises at the Treadwell Club immediately after the hose races were of thrilling interest to the little folks of Treadwell. They had praoticed for weeks, aud when they appeared on the morning of the Fourth all dressed up in their Sunday clOthes-clean and sWeet-some of the old folks were tempted to miss the ball game to wit ness their productions.
 At lO:SO a.m. the Douglas and Juneau baseball teams met in determined conflict on the Douglas grounds. Both teams bad been reinforced by talent from the States. Pullman pitched for Douglas and Hunt for Junesu. AL though immense crowds iiued the deid there was little excitement and noise in the first part of the game because 1t was devoted to the manufacture Os goose eggs. Douglas eased in a run in the fourth inning, and then nothing happened until the first half of the eighth, when Juneau rallied and made two runs. Then the JOnesa fans shouted and yelled. It was closely played game and 10 looked like vic tory. But when Douglas came to bat, six of the players reached home alive and all was still on the Juneau side. That's all there was of it. The big game vent to Douglas by a score of 7to2
 When the ball game was over the big crowd went to eat. At 1 o'clock the fun started again. In the 100 yd. dash Luther Chambers won first and Bert Graham second. The relay race was captured by team composed of Cham bers, Graham, Kincaid and Mulligan. Then followed races for boys and girls of all ages. The soccer football game, Douglas vs. Juneau, passed quietly to the team from the capital city. A juvenile baseball game amused the crowd for time. A grand ball at May flower pavilion wound up the days pleasures.

 Although there were no serious acci- dents on the Fourth, many of the chil- dren are nursing a burned hand and anxious mothers breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "I'm glad i.'s over. That no one was badly hurt is wonder, for during the evening es- pecially the air was filled with burning powder and flying rocket sticks. Now is the tine to begin talking of a "sane" celebration for next year
 The Frank Rich Company played at the Lyric all last week, including the night of the Fourth. Their productions were good, and really worthy of bet ter patronage than they received, but along about the Fourth of July there are too many attractions that draw the crowds away from the shows.
 The Treadwell Club band, under the leadership of Prof. Paul Eegel, furnish ed the music for the Island celebra- tiou. The Juneau School band came over to the ball game in the forenoon. Prof. B. Shell is leader.
 On account of the quarantine it was thought best to abandon the parade, which has been an interesting feature of the Fourth of July celebrations in past years. The Fourth of July ora- tion, reading cf the Declaration of In dependence and patriotic songs were also omitted. However, the time was pretty we'll taken up, and only the older folks noticed the omission.
 In game played at Juneau on the afternoon of the Fourth the Douglas baseball team was defeated by a score of to3.
