Big Investment.
The total Investment In the
Alaska fisheries In 1913 was s2l,-
047 1906. and approximately So per
cent OF the Investment was In the
salmon industry. II required 2l,72i
persons 20 care for the fish hhr-
vest during the year. The total
value OF the products IN 1913 was
SIC. 739, 06s. and total catch OF
59.9t5.l2s salmon was recorded.
The fame OF Pacific Coast sal
mon has echoed around the world,
for the cans in which this fish n
packed have gone TO the four cor

Five Species.
Five species OF salmon are used
commercially. They are the coho
or silver. dog or chum. humpback
or pink. king or spring, and red or
sockeye.
The king is especially valuable
because OF it's size. for IL grows 10
four feet and weighs more than 30
pounds, so Is the Hockeye on ac-
count OF the deep culor Of the

IL essential 10 n good fish.
The silver salmon IL the smallest
OF the group, and the dog salmon

ita great abundance I'm northern
waters. where IL is dried and used
for dog feed Il is really an ex-
cellent food fish. but the pale col

Hallbut Fishing.
Halibut fishing is carried on off
the shores OF the islands OF South.

Then take Sargol-one tablet with every
meal-for two weeks. Then weigh and
measure again 1t isn't question OF
how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think. The scales and
the tape measure will tell their own
story. and most any thin man or woman
can easily add from five TO eight pounds
In the first fourteen days by following
this simp.e direction. And best of all,
the new flesh stays put
Sargol does not of itself make fat, but
mixing with your food, it turns the fats,
sugars and starches OF what you have
eaten, into rich, ripe fat producing
nourishment for the tissues and blood
prepares 1t in an easily assimilated form
which the blood can readily accept All
this nourishment now passes from your
body as waste. But Sargol stops the
waste and does 1t quick and makes the
fat producing contents of the very same

to make it bill No. l on the calendar,
thus insuring its early consideration.
Wherefore. Tippins. OF Appling. be-
ing Exhibit A on the roll call OF the
House, was swooped down upon as
the guilty party-and he, readily
enough. agreed to introduce it. 1t
thereby became the "Tippins bill'---
and next morning Mr.. Tippins awoke
to find himself famous, whereas the
evening before he had retired with 10
such grand, gloomy and peculiar idea

1t must be admitted that he never in

Mr.. Tippins had nothing whatever
