IT PAYS TO
Read the Ads

~ 1ME was, and within the memo
ries of many of us, when but
few people read advertisements
land those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found its
proper place in the economy Of life.
Much Of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest,"
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising imp roved
and it came to be of use and service
to the people, It developed, gradual
ly, into medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

NEW NATIONAL MONUMENT.
Thirty eight Acres in Alaska Include
Indian Village and Relics.

As result of recommendations
made by the secretary of agriculture,
the "Old Kassan National Monument, .
consisting of IS acres within the Ton
gass national forest, Alaska. has just
been created by presidential proelama-
ton The tract embraces the we'll
known abandoned IIaida Indian village
Of Old Kassan, situated on Prince of
Wales Island in southeastern Alaska,
about 80 miles west of the city of
Ketchikan.
The village was abandoned by the
Indians about 10 years ago. Among
the relies which remain there arc
about 80 Indian totem poles, five or six
of which are classed as exceedingly
good specimens. In the deserted vii
lage there are also eight large square
buildings which were originally con.
strueted according to the peculiar plan
OF the IIaida Indians. and which. it is
stated by those best qualified to know
represents the best specimens of Haida
architecture that now exist The
largest of these buildings is approx
mately 40 by 60 feet in size and is
made entirely of round and carved tim
bers. There also remain a number of

Indian graves with the typical small
grave houses erected by the Alaskan
Indians.
Kassan is said to be the Indian
word which means ca pretty town,
and all reports agree that the village
was well named. The fact that the vii
lage was occupied by the Indians for
many years explains the local name
"Old" Kassan, by which it is widely
known.
Since the village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been
rapidly falling into a state of dilap-
ldation and decay, and certain amount
of vandalism by tourists and souvenir
hunters renders some form of protec-
tlon essential. An examination of the
area was made jointly by representa-
tlVes of the forest service and of the
interior department, and reports strong
ly urging the establishment of a nation
al monument was approved by the sec.
retaries of both departments The
Smithsonian Institution strongly en-
dorsed the proposition for the estab
Hshment of a national monument. The
new national monument will be protect
ed and administered by the forest ser
vice, as is the ease with all monuments
located within the national forests.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take glass Of Salts to flush Kid
neys If Bladder bothers you
Drink lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked :
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twingcs, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri-
tatiOn.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren { acting right, or if bladder
bothers You, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few DAYS and
your kidneys will then act fine. This

grapes aud lemon juice, combined with
lthia, and has been used for genera
tious TO flush clogged kidneys and slim

Which Foreign POWER
BLOCKS DANISH SALE?
This Question Bothers State Depart
ment With Sale Incomplete.

State Department officials are beginning
to wonder what foreign influence Is at
work in Denmark to prevent the rati-
fication by that country of the Danish
American treaty, cedins to the United
States the Danish West Indies.
There Is no inclination to suspect Ger
many any more than Great Britain or
France. German objection would lie in
her hope Of acquiring the islands for her
self at some future time to give her a
naval base in the Caribbean. British
objection to the sale to the United
States, II was said today. would be half
commercial and half military. England's
coaling stations would depreciate in
value and her military prestige close to
the Panama Canal be weakened, 1t was
declared. should the United States &C.
quiFe the Danish islands.
France, it WAS said, had a shadowy
claim to the islands IL they should ever
be released by Denmark. but II WAS not
considered probable that France would
raise serious objection to the transfer to
this country except as a friendly ONCE in
England's favor.
1t is held to be doubtful. now that. Den
mark will ratify the treaty. If foreign
influence is at work, II is believed here.
they probably will be able to prevent the
ratification OF the pact.

CHURCH WOULD MODIFY
COMMANDMENTS TEXT

New York, Sept. 1.-The Forthcoming
general convention of the Protestan,
Episcopal Church will have before 1t a
proposal emanating from a commission OF
bishops, clergy and laynen to alter the
form Of the Ten Commandments as they
are now printed in the Catechism and the
communion office
The commission reports in favor OF
shortening the commandments by the
omission of the time honored reasons for
their observance. The proposed change
will affect the first five commandments
SO that they will read as follows:
Thou shalt have no other Gods
but me.
2. Thou shalt not make TO thyself any
craven image, nor the likeness OF any
thing that is in heaven above, or in the
earth beneath, or In the water under the
earth; thou shalt not bow down to them,
nor worship them.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of
the Lord thy God in vain.
4. Remember that thou keep holy the
Sabbath Day.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
The commission has recommended these
changes for the reason that changed con-
ditions have robbed the arguments of
much OF their weight
