FOUR-FOLD BENEFIT
From Two Grand Medieines--HooG S
Sarsaparilia, Peptiron Pills.

You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions. perhaps more, for
medicines to be taken together, or al
ternately or at different times.
One reason may be that the medi-
cines are "incompatihle"-do not agree
when closely mixed in takirg-or that
desired results cannot be secured by
one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
medicine treatment that we know of is
in Hoods Sarsaparilla and Peptiron
Pills. The former eXpels impurities
from the blood, creates an appetite
and promotes digestion and natural
action of the kidneys and liver, while
Peptiron Pills give the powerful tonic
they literally put iron into your
blood"-that Just balances the re-
quirement of perfect health.
Patients taking both report the
benefit is ur-fold--prompt, positive
and permanent. sold By all druggists.

THE oUIETEsT PLACE.

The quietest place in the world Is
not to be found in the isolated des-
ert, in the islands of the ocean, nor
at the summit of a lofty mountain;
but, curiously enough, in a town in
the Netherlands not very distant
from the present war zone. This
quiet place is a room in Utrecht, de-
signed for scientific research and

ton. Professor Zwaardenmaker a
well-known Dutch physicist and phys
iologist, had it built. An attempt to
construct a noise-proof room had
been made once before by Professor
Wandt in Leipzig. but that was not
entirely successful. The means that
Professor Zwaardenmaker used are
worthy to be recorded. In the first

NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 1, 1916.

While there are quite a number of issues involved Tn tne Ior,ncoInlng terrl,orial election, it is daily becom- Ills i"ore apparent that the leading issue, the issue that Is mos. pto.44l- nent Tn the pubic mlnd, IS not who Is to be the next delegate or attorney general or whether republicans CT democrats are to control the future administration of public affairs. The big question is prohibition.
 Public and private discussion and the tone of press comment all indi- cate that the question of whether AL aska is to be wet or dry" is the big, tfe vital issue of the campaign others and casts the purely political features quite in the background of public incest. The people of Alaska are taking sices on this issue as they have never taken sides before. AL askans, generally speaking, are not greatly given to displays of partisan ship. AS a usual thing they are too Independent in nature and spirit to te willing to hold fast to one theory or policy or line of conduct. They appear 70 like, above any other peo- pl"'s We nave met, to hold themselves F..a. -t1 eventh hour has sounded the call for Gnal dee,sIon. It has taken them years to ahgn themselves into politi- cal tactiong, although political issues arc as much a factor in their com- munal existence as they are In other parts of the world. Yet, withal, we find ora, tically all of them lined up scliIly on the prohibition question and tisp ing a most profound depth of feeling concerning the final reso- lution of that question. No more conclusise evidence could be furnish ed than this that they look upon prohibition as a matter of the most vital chaIaCfer to the territory and big and very vital question. In the event that he choice of the electors IS for prohibition, many changes will occur in the established order of things changes that may. especially ia the case of the towns and cities. oe viewed as distinctly serious.
 For instance. a large portion of the revenues of the corporate towns will fe swept away. depriving the com- rlunities affected of a large portion 9f the means whereby city govern inent and civic institutions are main- tanned. In the case of Nome. the abolition of the liquor traffic will mean the loss of more than one fourth O. the entire revenues by which the city government Is sustained.
 As the city Is barely able to SUD- rort itself on the revenues obtained st ;hc present time, and as there Is TO possibility of increasing taxation owing to the legal limitations, it will be realized that prohibition is to Nome a very serious matter. And mol alone to Nome but to practically every other incorporated city In in- te. .or Alaska as we'll as to the ma Jo'ity of towns situated on the south- ern coast Four ffths of the towns Of the territory are In identically the same situation. The majority are taxing their citizens up to the very limits of legal taxation and there is little hope of obtaining revenues from other sources. And. like Nome.

WASHINGTON. August i,--Genral
Carranzas reply to the last American
note accepting his suggestion for a
Joint commission TO adjust border
differences but proposing broader
scope for the commissions work Wns
delivered at the state department To-
day By Elese Arredondo, the Mexican
ambassador designate. 1t announces
the appointment Of three Mexican
commissioners with instructions to
devote their attention preferably to
the resolution Of the points mentioned
in the previous note
Thus. the de facto government 0p-
parently rejects the proposal that the
commission consider other QuestIOns
than the military situation and limits
the discussion to the subject Original
" suggested by Carranza-withdraYal
OF American troops from Mexico; Tor
nation Of protocol to cover future
operations against bandits and inVcs-
tipation Of interests which may hive
nrom pted border raids. Whether This
will be satisfactory to the United
States has not been indicated. The
note was in Spanish and when he went
n today's cabinet meeting, Acting sc
rotary Polk declined to discuss 1t IN
N an official translation could be
made.
President Wilson already has Under
consideration the names OF men suB-
gested for the American commission.
