noted physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your

calomel, which is dangerous, sail

used occasionally because it accumu-
lates in the tissues, also attacks the

Every man and woman, sick or

Limestone phosphate does not re-

it can not salivate, for it is harmless

The bill introduced by Delegate WicEersham to enable homesteaders to take up 1GO acres of land in Alas ka who have already used their homestead rights in the states is a good one. and one in which the Dele gate should be commended by all whc have the good of the territory at heart. It will enable the heads of many families in the States, who filed on land which could not be used, and were forced to surrender it, to take up good homesteads in the Territory and make their homes here. It will add many thousand families to our population and make Alaska State years sooner It is one of the best bills the Delegate has introduced, and one we believe will be productive of much good.

 4 month or so ago this would not have been so bad, for ptarmigan were plentiful, but the closed season on birds and a raise in the price of meat coming on together is tough. To be sure the packers have re- centiy landed a nice little contract at a handsome profit to themselves for canned beef stew for the British sol diers which will require about three hundred million pounds of beef to
 fill, and in such case it would not be nice to raise any holler about the poor packer.

 Death by saber thrust or from rifle bullet would have been more ill harmony with his career, and we re- gret his death should have been so tame. We had hoped to see him die gloriously before firing squad with his back to a wall, or at the end of a rope, or staked out on an ant heap with honey smeared over his body, or any death sudden and violent.
 He, probably did not expect to die for some years yet, and thus we are both disappointed.
