KODIAK HIT BY
 NINETY MILE GALE
cited Over Placer Gold Strike Near Cold Bay.

Passengers on the Alameda yester- day morning from the westward re- port that there is considerable excite ment among the people the westward
 over placer gold strike which has been made near Cold Bay, but as the Dora brought no passengers from that
 locality little new information was learned regarding the strike. It is
 known however, that the trader at Cold Bay sent thirty ounces of gold to one Of the Seward banks. The gold
 IS said to have been taken from a
 stream near Cold Bay by two trap
 oers, who employed their spare time
 in prospecting.
 It is known that the district where
 the discovery is reported to have been
 made is included in the gold belt as described by the Geological Survey
 and miners hope that with extensive prospecting that some rich ground
 will be uncovered.
 The officers of the Dora reported in Seward that Kodiak had been hit
 by ninety mile gale last week while the vessel was there. Later the steam CT was storm bound for three days in Marmot Straits and the wireless op- orator reported that the gale had
 maintained a velocity of 60 or 65 miles an hour for three days. There were a number of passengers awaiting the Dora at Seward who
 were en route to their homes at far
 westward points.

BRIGHTER LEFT F0R vLO|vOST0k Seward Completes Repairs at Ia- touche After Encounter with Storm Of Ketchikan

The officers of the freighter Cordo- vo report that the freighter Seward
 which had been forced to put into La touche for repairs while en route from Seattle to Vladivostok, had com pleted the necessary repairs and sail-
 ed again for the westward at noon on Saturday last. The Seward had been chartered from the Alaska Steamship company by the big shipping firm of Frank Watterhouse & Co.,, to make several trips between Puget Sound and the Russian port to carry shipments pur-
 chased in the United States by the
 Russian government.
 While coming up the coast on the great circle to Vladivostok the freighter encountered hurricane which caused her steering gear to break. The vessel went sideways in the trough of the sea while tempo rary repairs were being made and was
 swept by tremendous wave, which 
 carried away a part of her deck load.
 Three of the crew were carried over-
 board but were rescued after being in the icy water for nearly an hour. When the Alameda went to La
 touche she replenished the water sup lply of the Seward and enabled her to again start on her way. The cargo
 of the Seward Is said to be valued at $1,5 ,500,0O0, several hundred tons of
 which Is composed of 94 per cent dynamite which will be used by the
 Russian government in the manufac- Lure of shells with which to equip it's army.
 From Seward the freighter expect
 ed to reach the Russian port in 12 Or 13 days unless she encountered rough weather.

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says q glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps 70 IT.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount Of incom-
bustible material II the form Of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the almentary canal a
certain amount of indfgestible ma
terial, which If not completely elimi-
mated from the system each day. be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste. toxins and
ptomain-like pois ons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass Of real hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out the thirty
feet OF bowels the previous days ac-
emulation of poisons and toxins, and
to keep the entire alimentary canal
clean. pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness. constipation,
others who waks up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach
after meals. are urged to get quarter
pound OF limestone phosphate from
the drug store. and begin practictng
internal sanitation, This will cost
very little, but Ia sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember. inside bathing Is more
important than .outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing
poor health. while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens; and fresheus the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act ON the stomach. liver, kidneys and
bowels.
