My dear Brethern:-
AS you well know, the liquor
forces are initiating the socalled beer
amendment, and it will be necessary
for our people to get to the polls on
November 1th and defeat this meas
ure By an overwhelming vote.
To arouse the whole state, it has
been thought wise to ask our pastors
and churches to set aside Sunday,
October 18th, as a special day on
which every pastor shall take the
whole or part of the morn;ug service
to explain the maliciousness of this
beer amendment, and to urge his
people to register, vote and work "a
gaiust this measure as they have
never worked before.
Remember, after October 18th,
there will be only one day October
the 19tlI, left to register, and The
rally will be a splendid opportunity
for you to emphasize this fact The
defeat Of the beer amendment means
you mus, first register and then vote
against it. ."
\ great many are inquiring at
this time as to how they can vote
if they are away from their home on
election day. Please notify your
people at every opportunity that if
they call on or write their Election
Commission, giving name and ad-
dress, also district and precinct in
which registered, the Commission
will be glad to mail a certificate OF
registration, whicE: may be used at
any polling place il the state 50 vote
for the state aud natioua! ticket.

SEWARD. ALASKA. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1916

Sop other papers in the territory are now comment io on the status ot the liquor license question m the ter to, and they all take view similar to that expressed m this paper to the effect that the vote of the people m favor of Prohibition did not by any means mean that Aasla ooes dry pso facto or that any judge can take it upon himself to refuse licenses wholesale.
 The law passed by the territorial legislature says:
 "In inc event that the certificate of the canvaSSng oard shall show that a majority of the electors voting on
 this question have declared against the sale manuactufe I,. o exchange of intoxicating liquors Tn the Terri o oI Alaska as herein provided no wholesale or feIan c shall he issued for the sale, manufacture, barter or exchange oI intoxicating liquors in the Territory o1 Al asha after the inst day oI January 1918.
 This makes i. look as though the whole matter had been settled right there but 1t has not.
 The act Of Congress providing legislature TOT the teior as everyone knows, contained list ot eNemp- tous that kept from the territory the power to pass on certain subjects One provision of the enabling act ls
 nor shall spirituouS or intoxicating liquors be manufactured or sold, except under regulations ana restrictions as Congress shall provide.
 This seems to indicate that Congress reserves the rght to itself to pass on liquor licenses
 No dalot though the legislature will memoriahze CongIess to pass a Prohibition law. In the meantime a s ease wi probably be provided by the refusal of some iudo t oInI a license when it is applied for Of course in,g Mil have no legal right to refuse licenses anyhow untI the First of January 1918 Indeed he will not be provided with the right by any legislative act or with the n,e to refuse licenses on the strength of the dry vote at au even after I9lS unless Congress in the meantime " ~ a--l -.~
 It is well for people of all ways of thinking to know exactly how matters stand If the above is not a correct interpretation of the laws better comprehension of them can be secured perhaps. by drawing attention to them

KELTON

Kelton, Jan. 24.-It looks very
much this evening like we are going
to have falling weather soon. We
had hoped we would have fair wealth
er a week or ten days. There has
been very little farm work done in
this community up to this time.
Mrs. Mary Long died very suddenly
at her nephew's, Mr.. johnson Sprouse,
last Thursday and was buried at Fos-
ter Chapel church Friday. The fun
eral services were conducted by the
Rev. J. r. Copeland of Kelton. Her
only son and grandson of Georgia ar
rived on the Lockhart train Friday at
noon. "Aunt Polly, as she was
usually called, was married twice;
first to Mr.. Levy Davis, Confederate
soldier, who served through the en-
tire war in the old Pea Ridge company.
After the war he moved to Georgia
and died. She then married Mr..
Long, and after Mr.. Longs death she
came back to South Carolina, where
her people lived. She was about 80
years of age and was the daughter
of Mr.. William Sprouse by his sec
ond wife. Mr.. William Sprouse was
married four times and had 18 or 20
children, all dead but two, Mrs. Eliza
Parr of Union rural route and Mr..
Geo. w. Sprouse of Kelton, Route
No. 2. She had five brothers in the
Civil war, four in Confederate army
and one in the Union army. Her
other, Henry, moved to Kent ky
before the war and Kentucky was
about equally divided and he Joined
the Union army. She had been max
ing her home for several years with
her sister, Mrs. Parr, and other rcla-
tlves. She left many relatives and
friends to mourn her death.
Mr.. Daniel Garner, who has been
very sick, is still improving. There is
still a great deal of sickness on the
Ridge with colds and grip.
Mr.. Haskell Garner has had a very
sick child and Mr.. E. E. Conner has a
sick little daughter, but | am glad to
report they are improving.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose Days
Work.

Calomel Salivatcs! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a so cent
bottle of DodSon's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and get
your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
1T may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harm
less, pleasant and safe to give to chill
dren; they like it.

NEW HOPE

New Hope, Jan. 24.-Will try to
give the readers short letter this
week. AS news in our community has
been little bit frozen Up.
But our effort is to go forward in
every way to help to build up the
community.
We are glad to say that new move
mentS are now made in our Sunday
school and our effort is to make 1916
the best year we have ever had in our
Sunday school. We are now planning
to have good music, and we hope soon
to add a piano, which will aid so
much in our church work as well. We
urge everybody in the community
to come out every Sunday. We don't
intend to go into winter quarters, but
to have a Sunday school the year
round.
The Woodrow Wilson literary So
ciety met Saturday night at the
school house is growing rapidly. A
good crowd attended and everybody
seemed to enjoy the evening. We
hope that more of the parents will
come out to the meetings.

Remedy Prescribed
By Many Doctors
Compound of Simple Laxative Herbs
Proves Most Efficient.

DR.. w. A. Evans, writing for the
Chicago Tribune, makes the assertion
that practically everyone, at some
time or other, suffers from constipa-
tion. This applies regardless of age
or condition in life.
The congestion of stomach waste in
the bowels is evidenced in various
ways; bloat, eructation of foul stom-
ach gases, sick headache, langour, all
indicate constipation, and call for
prompt attention, not only to relieve
the present discomfort but also to
avoid possible disease that follow;
neglect of this important function.
Harsh cathartics and violent purga-
tives should not be employed, as these
afford only temporary relief, while
they serve to shock the entire system.
A mild laxative such as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is far preferable and is
now the remedy generally used and
prescribed by many doctors. 1t is free
from opiate or narcotic drugs, acts
easily and pleasantly, without gripping
or other pain and is a safe, effective
family remedy.

OTHERS HAVE SUFFERED.

There is one thing that should be
kept in mind during all the talk abou;
the decentralization of business in this
country because of the European war
and the necessity for the government
to raise additional revenues.
And that is that every neutral
country in the world has been under
going the same experience. In Eu-
rope, Spain, Denmark, Sweden and
Switzerland have been undergoing
the same conditions that we have.
Their commerce has been largely di-
minished and the governments have
had to raise additional revenues wv
imposing extra taxes.
All the South American countries
have found their revenues reduced OIL
an average of so per cent.-Anderson

UGH! ACID STOMACH,
SOURNESS, HEART
BURN,
GAS OR INDIGESTION
The Moment "Pape's Diapepsin"
Reaches the Stomach All Dis
tress Goes.

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into stubborn Jumps and cause a sick,
sour, gassy stomach? Now, Mr.. or
Mrs. Dyspeptic, jot this down.. Pape's
Diapepsin digests everything, leaving
nothing to sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick,
so certainly effective. No difference
how badly your stomach is disordered
you will get happy relief in five min
utes, but what pleases you most is that
1T strengthens and regulates your
stomach so you can eat your favorite
foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure.
"Pape's Diapepsin" is quick, positive
and puts your stomach in a healthy
condition so the misery won't come
back.
You feel different as soon as
"Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact
with the stomach-distress just van
ishes-your stomach gets sweet, no
undigested food, your head clears and
gases, no beIching, no eructations of
you feel fine.
90 now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large
htty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
hve minutes how needless it is to suf-
Ter from indigestion, dyspepsia or any
stomach disorder.

A Spartanburg banker made the
assertion few days ago that of the
total expense of running the institu-
ton which which he is connected
one-third goes for taxes. An indi.
vidual in the usual pursuits and
with the average expense attached
to the business that he follows
would regard such taxes as confisca-
tory, and it strikes us that the same
is true of the banking business
