WAS A PRETTY GOOD INVESTMENT
Oshkosh, Wis, Northwestern)

(Oshkosh, Wis, Northwestern)
 During the fiscal year which recently closed Alas ka $115, 100000 worth of metals and other ma terals for in this country setting a new high record for exports from that country the record for the preceding year being little under $100,O0O,OOO this connection it is matter of interest to note that gold, while still important item in Alaskan prodEction is neither the chief export responsible for the steady growth of her commerce. For mum Der of years the amount of gold annually mined in Alaska has varied but little, closely approximatlng s15 100000 or $16O0OOO0 each year Last year slight y exceeded the latter figure, and the remainder Of her exports made up of coal copper and other metals fisheries products, furs, lumber and even a fair showing of farm products.
 The old idea of Alaska, bleak and frigid region whose only lure hidden wealth, long since has been exploited. It is true that the mineral riches of fabulous extent exist in Alaska and that these natural only have been scratched as yet Her coal and copper promise to outrival gold as sources of wealth. while her timber fisheries and agricultural interests must expand and grow and greatly add to the prosperity of the Territory When the latter purchased from Russia at price of $7 100000, many Americans thought it sheer waste of good money, but it has paid for itself many times ever since then. Uncle Sam made a better in vestment, fact, and emphasis is lent to this point by the announcement that Alaskan exports last year totaled $115000000 and will increase steadily in the years

MOVING THE NATIONAL ARMY

Five per cent. of the National Army total of about 35,000 men, has been mobized without up setting single train schedule interfering with traffic in the slightest degree Furthermore this per cent will be in the service in the two weeks that will elapse before the next contingent moves, and will be in position to help train the new arrivals.
 Those who would criticse the War Department for its slowness to mobilize the army should bear in mind two things. One is the complete para lysis of railroad traffic that would be caused by trying to 6s7,Oo0 from every part of the country toward 16 common centers time, and other is the confusion that would prevail the camps when that number of untraned arrived
 By sending up only per cent. starter and causing them to move with the regular currents of traffic the department ascertains what number can be moved in that manner. As larger contingents called for special trains will be necessary from some points, the railroads by that time will have

VOLCANO AND CROPS

 curious theory has been advanced to the cause of present shortage of food crops in this country. It is said that the great eruption of Mt Katma Alaska which began in June, 1912 was re- sponsibe for the cloudy that year resulting partial crop failure in both America and Europe Before the world could again accumulate supply of food, the present broke out and since that time there has been of edbles. Whether or there is any foundation for this report it is tain that the Alaska volcano created considerable disturbance when it burst it's bounds and beched forth fine ashes in sufficient quantity to the ground to a depth of 10 feet for radius of 100 miles, All vegetation in the vicinity destroyed. A party of scientists their way to Alaska study this freak of nature and perhaps they will have further report upon it's probable effects crop conditions the war, etc.

THE GIRL | LEFT BEHIND ME.

Pm lonesome since I cross'd the hill
And DER the moor and valley,
Such heavy thought my heart do fill
Since parting with my Sally.
I seek no more the fine and gay,
For each does but remind me
How swift the hours did pass away
With the girl I left behind me.
Oh. ne'er shall I forget the night,
The stars were bright above me-,
And gently lent their silvery light,
When first she vow'd she loved me
But now I'm bound to Brighton
Camp,
Kind heav'n, may favor find me,
And send me safely back again
To the girl I left behind me.
NV mind shall still her form retain,
In sleeping or in waking,
Until I see my love again
For whom my heart is breaking.
If ever I should see the day
:, When Mars shall have resigned me
Forevermore I'll gladly stay
With the girl I left behind me.

SALTS is FINE FOR
KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at Once Whan
Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally says
a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the( kidney
pores So they sluggishly filter or
strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, dizziness, sleeplessness, blad-
der disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts,
or if the urine is CLOUDY, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of pas
sage or attended by a sensation of
scalding, get about four unces of
Jad Salts from any reliable 'pharma-
cy and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia
and has been used for generations
to flush clogged kidneys and stimu-
late them to activity, also to neutral
ize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not i~njure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoid
ing serious kidney complications

cipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome. r. .
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage. and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old time recipe
improved by the addition of other
ingredients for about so cents. Ev-
erybody uses this preparation now,
because no n can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does
it so naturally and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound is a delightful tot
let requisite. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.-Adv.

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of
ashes, so the food and drink taken
day after day leaves in the alimen-
tary canal a certain amount of in
digestible material, which if not
completely eliminated from the sys-
tenn each day, becomes food for the
millions of bacteria which infest the
bowels. From this mass of leftover
waste, toxins and ptomain-like poi
sons are formed and sucked into, the
blood. ~
Men and women who can't get
feeling right must begin to take in
side baths. Before eating breakfast
each morning drink a glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful Of
limestone phosphate in it to wash
out of the thirty feet of bowels the
previous days accumulation of poi
sons and toxins and to keel the en-
tire alimentary canal clean, pure
and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick
headache, colds, biliousness, 5consti-
patton, others who wake up with bad
taste, foul breath, backache, rheuma-
tic stiffness, or have a sour, gassy
stomach after meals, are urged to
get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from the drug store, and
begin 'practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is sufi-
Gent to make anyone al 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 freshens the
skin, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels.-Adv. L

tuents and 0.5 per cent Of fat. Thus
a quart Of buttermilk furnishes
slightly more than an ounce Of pro-
tein, one Of the chief body builders.
The increasing consumption of
buttermilk testifies to its popularity
as a beverage. People are beginning
to realize that it is much better to-
drink a glass Of milk or buttermilk
than it is to consume other drinks
having little food value. Many ply
sicians recommend buttermilk in the
treatment Of certain intestinal dis
orders and it is also gaining in favor
in hospitals.
Prepared buttermilk is usually.
made from skim milk and has all the
chemical properties of buttermilk. I
it is churned, as is usually the case,
it agrees in appearance and flavor
with real buttermilk. In fact, it is
often a better product, especially if
clean, sweet skim milk is used and
it is carefully ripened and churned.
Prepared buttermilk can be. made in.

suits can be obtained when it is
made on the large scale, and for
that reason it is usually better to
purchase it from a reliable dealer.
