CHAMBER SENDS OUT CIRCULARS
Meeting Held of Chamber of Cont tion to Aid Coast Survey Appropri- ationS.

The Valdez Chamber of Con- merce held a we'll attended meeting
 last evening, and matters of moment
 to the community were brought up and discussed.
 It was decided to open vigorous campaign to advertise the Valdez
 Fairbanks roaa as tourist auto route i to the interior, and the circulars de- scriptive of the beautiful scenery along the road and the excellent hunt ing and fishing adjacent to the trail will be sent out in large numbers to the auto clubs, tourist agencies and
 auto manufacturers throughout the
 country.
 The campaign to secure a mail ser vice between Valdez and Port Wells and other Sound points was also brought up for discussion, but was not
 acted upon as the committee had no. yet completed the necessary data to form a comprehensive report. The secretary stated that each boat
 brought in from ten to twelve letters
 asking for information regarding Val
 deg and the country adjacent thereto, which were answered as fully as pos
 sible.
 The secretary also read a letter from B. Lester Jones. of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. thanking
 the Chamber for the resolutions re-
 gently passed endorsing the work of the Bureau. In relation to the ap- lpropriations for this work MT. Jones
 states:
 While our representations regard ing these needs are always received with due respect, they are far from being as effectual as if they came from the real parties in interest, that lis, the business men effected. the steamship companies. and the con- mercial organizations of Alaska and
 the Pacific Coast and this is quite natural because ours is public ser vice and while we are directly con- cerned with it's efficient administra- tion we do not bear the burden of & failure to accomplish our work be. cause of the lack of facilities for do- ing it.
 "I therefore think it proper to suS. gest that for the good of Alaska and her commercial advancement it would be we'll for the members of your or ganization to use whatever means yo | can to impress upon your representa- tive in Congress and those members from the Pacific coast states the bene- fits that would come to Alaska if these eeded surveys are hastened by in. creased facilities being. given this Bureau for their prosecution. Expe- rience has shown me that results are not obtained from resolutions. memo rials and collective petitions. If any thing of consequence is accomplished it must be done through the serious effort of the individual persons, steamship company and commercial organizations, and people interested"

USES FOR FAMILY UMBRELLA
Mind of Woman DeVises TWO Ways in

Two novel uses for an umbrella are
told Of in a recent issue of Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The mind of wom-
an devised them both.
PIcnickers des'rlng to 20 IN bathing
are often handicapped by the lack OF
convenient places to change clothes. An
umbrella and some paper muslin pro-
yides a light portable tent that IS prac-
teal and inexpensive for such uses.
Cut the darl, paper muslin into as
many nine-foot lengths as there are
sections of the umbrella. Sew these
strips together. At each seam tie q
string about yard long and a stout
cord Is feet long TO the handle to hold
up the tent. For use open the UNI
brella invert It and to each rib tie one
end Of the cord TO the handle Of the
umbrella and suspend 1t from tree
or other support, weighing or tying
down the other end.
A clothes uryer that can be easily
carried will appeal to travellers and
persons living in small quarters. An
umbrella, four yards of strong wrap
ping Irvine and several small brass
rings are required. Knot the rings
into the twine Mt intervals, measuring
the distance between the rib points Of
the umbrella, and hook the Irvine TO
the points by the rings, providing con-

age. AS a result physicians all over
the country refuse to prescribe alco-
hol under any condition.
AS has been shown many acquire
the alcohol habit before attaining
maturity. There are many ways in
which this habit has been acquired,
but perhaps the commonest form has
been through the medium of pat
ent medicine containing great per-
centage of this deadly poison. Beef,
wine, and iron for instance, is usually
given to those convalescing from a
severe illness. This is favorite prep
aration given to children and has
blood purifier and strengthener
probably done more to develop the
alcohol habit than the average per-
son imagines.
Iron, of course, is the greatest
blood purefier and strengthener
known; on the other hand alcohol
is perhaps the deadliest poison to
the tissue of the human system. 1t
counteracts the efficiency of the iron
and makes the condition worse. A
sick person would be far better off
if given just plain beef. The reason
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-07-26
CAUTION! CAREFULLY READ
LABEL S ON ALL PATENT MEDICINES

for the fallacy that beef, wine, and
and iron is efficient is that the alco-
hol it contains imparts feeling of
stimulation and quickens the heart
action, temporary condition lasting
as long as the alcohol affects the
senses. That is why one must use
such preparations continuously, so
that the artificial stimulation may be
kept up. The result often brings on
a case of alcoholism.
1t would be more beneficial in
such cases to use a natural iron prep
aration free from the dangers of all
cohol or other habit-forming drugs.
For those who may be weak, ana
emic, run down, or suffering from
stomach, kidney or bladder trouble,
or POOR impoverished blood, an iron

Read carefully all patent medicine

The law requires that all medicines

chasing alcohol as other dangerous,
harmful, and habit-forming drugs.
The American Medical Association
composed of the foremost men in the
medical profession, came out with
the statment that alcohol is OF nc

a stimulant. A recent investigation
