 MUST 60 SOUTH
 ON THE ALAMEDA
Las Opportunity Which Will Insure Delivery
 by Christmas Is
 Close at Hand.

The last chance to send packages to Seattle or other coast points to insure delivery before Christmas will be on the Alameda Sunday or Mon- day. Those who are late would do we'll to get the packages into the post office not later than tomorrow night. Agent Nowell has posted the Alameda south sometime Sunday but the steamer may not arrive until early Monday morning. Packages, however, to insure delivery, should be in the post office early as the Alameda might sail early Monday morning before the post office is opened.
 Postmaster Bradford says that the Christmas business has been heavy the last three or four boats sailing have taken an average of 75 sacks each of Christmas goods. The eastern mail has been heavy, but for South ern coast points has been light, the citizens evidently waiting 10 catch the last steamer to send their pack ages south.

 The objective of the Association is the upbuilding of the community. not only of Juneau but all of Southeast ern Alaska and 1t is very probable that within Q few weeks the kin dred associations in the other towns of Southeastern Alaska from Skag- way 10 Ketchikan will become asso- ciated in the one body and work together for the best interests of this section of Alaska.
 The Association will in future take on some of the form and duties of a commercial Club. or other active business mems organization. Cues tions of importance to the section will be discussed and action looking towards remedying conditions will be taken. Included in the questions which will be taken up in the near future are those of steamer schedules parcels post rates in Alaska, the matter of the Canadian boats landing here at night and for but few hours, and many other questions of vital interest.
 At last nights meeting it was de- cided that all accounts owing mem bers of the Association shall be con sidered due on and after the goth of the succeeding month following the rendering Of the account. and that fair rate of interest shall be charged for all time the account runs after that date. At the present time nearly every business man in Juneau belongs to the Association and all of the larger houses are represented among the membership.

forgot all about the people in his mad
haste to get the bright light
On and on he ran, almost getting 1t,

it would flash again, and the Giant
still pursued it.
If the Giant had listened he would
have heard faint laughing as he ran

He even passed his mothers forest

to him to stop in his mad run and go

But the fairies knew, and it was they
that laughed He was bewitched by
the Will-o'theWisp fairy that had
been lying in wait for him when he
should come off the mountain and try
his fun on land where the fairies lived.
So on and on the Giant chased the
Will,o'-the-Wisp fairy, and she led him

and swampy things grew over him un-

WIFE OF GEORG|ARY.
ENGINEER GAINED D
/ TWENTY-FIVE LBS.
G. G. Gciger Says His Wife Suffered
With Rheumatism for Years.


tTanlac has not only relieved my
wife of a very severe attack Of rheu-
matism, but she has actually gained
twenty-five f25) pounds since she be-
gan taking the medicine said Mr.. q.
G. Geiger, residing at 1873 East Linden
street, Atlanta Ca, for number OF
years employed as engineer by the
Georgia railroad.
Il don't believe ever saw anyone
suffer with rheumatism as much as she
did, continued Mr.. Geiger in his
statement to the Tanlac representa-
tive. Sometimes her feet would
lswell SO she couldn't get her shoes on.
The pains in her arms were so great
at times she would remark that they
felt like they were about to drop off.
She had severe headaches, and was
dizzy and nervous all the time and un-
able to sleep well at night Her appe-
tite failed her and she lost a great deal
! in weight and strength. She some
times got so bad off she would have
to go to bed and stay for weeks at
time. When she wasn't in bed she
; felt so tired and played-out she was
never able to look after her house
work
: ''She tried all kinds of medicine, but
nothing seemed to do her much good,
and when began to hear so much talk
about Tanlae, just made up my mind
Ito lay all the other medicines aside
and put her on Tanlac.
"She has now finished her fourth
bottle and she is like different wom-
an. The rheumatism has been entire
ly relieved; she doesn't have the head
n aches any more, is no longer nervous
q like she used to be, and she sleeps-lika
y a baby. She has splendid appetite
q and has been gaining strength and
n weight right along, and. as have al
n ready told you, she was gained twenty
n five pounds. She is full of life ant
n energy now, and is looking after ths
n fhousework like she hadn't even beer
n sick.
