OIL TREATMENT FOR
STOMACH TROUBLES

VA simple prescription made up of a
combination of pure vegetable oils is
producing wonderful results for suf-
ferers from stomach, liver and intesti
nal troubles. The remedy. which is
said to have originated in France,
where it has been used for years by
the peasantry, was introduced into
this country by George II. Mayr,
heading Chicago druggist, who cured
himself of severe stomach liver and
intestinal troubles by it's use, Those
who have used it say the first dose is
sufficient TO convince any one of its
remarkable merit, and that within
twenty-four hours the sufferer feels
like a new. person. This medicine,
which has become known as Mayr's
Wonderful Stomach Remedy, is now
sold by first class druggists every
where. 1t is now sold here by Bow

To Open a New Country

That Alaska is to have a railroad
built, maintained and operated by the
government, and that as a result the
vast resources of that comparatively I'M
known country are to be opened to the
world, now seems assured by the action
of both branches of Congress, which has
passed the Alaskan bill.
The project is OF more interest than
even the expenditure of the $40, 100000
proposed would ordinarily create. Com
ing so soon after the compilation of the
Panama Canal, it is attracting attention
as another great engineering project un.
der the direction of the American govern
ment In a sense, too, it compares with
the Government undertaking in the six
ties to push the Pacific railway across
the unbroken praires and mountains OF
the west and thus link together the West
and the East. Moreover, TIE new prof
ect is to be the first test in this country
of government ownership of a public util-
ity; it is expected to open to the com-
MERGE of the world great and rich re-
sources which until now have been for
the most part lying idle; it will afford
employment to large army Of men both
in its construction and in its mainten
ance; it will develop Alaska agricultur-
ally as we'll in other ways by attracting
homesteaders, and it will cheapen greatly
various commodities Of commerce, nota-
bly, coal. At least these are the benefits
which the friends of the measure claim
for it.
The debates in Congress on this bill
have developed the fact that until recent
ly Alaska has been unappreciated as was
the great northwest country when ac-
QUESTION by the United States was con-
sidered. The coast, except for the fishing
industry, is of relatively little CONNER
cial Importance. In the interior are i'm
mense agricultural resources capable OF
sustaining the population of Denmark,
Sweden, Finland, Russia and Siberia. AS
a result OF railroad construction this fer
tile land is expected to be taken up at
ouce by homesteaders, for Alaska has
good homestead laws

About Secretary Bryan

We are not enthusiastic in the admira.
ton of all the policies or the persona
characteristics of the present national
Secretary of State, and therefore we
would suggest that some of his vehement
detractors, among Republican journalists
in their constant use of petty insinua-
tons may get bareback" if they don't
watch out. This course may IN fact acl
tualIy make friends for the Secretary.
1t is easy to compare Mr.. Bryan with
the great New Highlander, defender of the
Constitution, to the disadvantage of the
Nebraskan, but it is well to remember
that Webster in his day was the target
of as much abuse as can be flung at any
man. 1t might be well to reflect, also,
that as reverence for the dead prohibits
the public discussion of their personal
habits and financial dealings. those of the
living should not be set even in implied
comparison Herewith. All this talk
about grape juice" for example, is not
only petty, but provocates comparison
with those days of the past, which were
not, in some ways, to say the least, better
than these.
