ARE YOU RHEUMATIC?
Many Pangs That Pass for Rheuma. tisrh Are Really Due to Weak
 Kidneys.

Is it rheumatism?
 Not every pain is.
 Weak kidneys let uric acid collect.
 Uric acid causes many queer pains.
 In the thigh it's sciatica;
 In the back, lumbago;
 In the nerves, neuritis.
 Gout, gravel, dropsy are uric trou- bles.
 When you suspect the kidneys use Doar's Kidney Pills
 The home-recommended remedy.
 Pine Bluff testimony is the best proof.

I suffered from steady. dull ache in my back and at times I had awful shooting pains through my lions. 1 had rheumatic twinges in my arms and shoulders and my kidneys acted too freely. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills soon relieved mo ahd I kept on using them, taking about six boxes in all. My back has not bothered me since and I have felt better in every way"

There were about 10000 of these Aleu-

cultural department at Washington have
not consented to this introduction, but Mr..
1eorgeson is still urging it and it may be
tired next year. The director of Russian
experiment station at Irkutsk Siberia, has
written that the yak is the domestic animal
OF Mongolia and he finds that it cross
breeds readily with the domestic cattle. The
hybrids are more or less sterile, but some OF
them are breeders, and if strain could be
established it would be of great ADVANTAGE
to Alaska. The Siberian yak are good for
milk and beef and also as draft animals and
burden bearers. They might be used by the
miners and proSpectors in carving packs
over the country. Before the war broke

ments to lay down number of young yak

not obtain the departments permission to

and they covered the whole island with
ashes and sand to depth of 18 inches with
out drifting. There were numerous slides
OF ashes down the hills and mountainsides,
and where they drifted they swept away
fences and almost buried some of the expert
ment station buildings. Some of the sheep
and calves were suffocated by the ashes, and
the livestock outside the barns were without
feed and water during that time
When the eruption stopped. the vegeta-
ton was covered with ashes and almost all
of the pasture destroyed When the rains
came the ashes flowed into the creeks and
made qucksands there which were danger
Gus to man and beast. The sheep would lie
down at night in what seemed perfectly dry
places and by morning find themselves so
1nlred III the sand and ashes that they could
not get out. To make matters worse. the

ashes have acted upon the soil like thick

are the heads OF volcanoes which have been
almost drowned in the sea- The island Of
Unimak has two active volcanoes, but the
heads of both were lost in the clouds when
we sailed by The highest of these noun
tains has an altitude of more than 5000 feee
1t is known as Shishaldin. We could see it
plainly as we sailed through Unimak pass
The foothills were green but far up the sides
the grass was lost in the snow of the noun
tains and the peak was hidden in the clouds
During our passage the sun seemed to set
between the ship and the island. There was
a great black cloud floating in the sky be-
tween us and Unimak Out of the bottom
of the cloud came four broad shafts of light,
making translucent veil, as it were, be-
tween the ship and the island, and losing
themselves in the sea- These shafts were
of rainbow hues and through them we could
plainly see the smoky outlines Of the island
beyond. The rays of the sun seemed 10
mark the end of this side OF the world and
Uninak to belong to the other side. Above
the black cloud from which the veil of rain
bow came the sky was brilliant blue, and
higher still were golden clouds painted by
the hidden sun. 1t was a combination of sky
and land and sea that | have never witnessed
in any other part of the world
Unimak is the largest of the Aleutian ISL
ands. 1t guards the chief pass into Boring
sea and near it is Unalaska island, upon
which is Dutch harbor, one of the safe ports
of the territory. The harbor is on bay
backed by hills that slope gently up from the
water and are lost in high mountains behind.
Captain Cook landed there just two years
after we declared our independence of Eng
land. The islands had been discovered by
Vitus Boring in 174l, but Cook was the first
one to tell the English much about them. He
found the natives gentle and noffensive and
said that they might serve as pattern to
and most civilized nation on earth He
described them as short, plump and well
formed. The women wore garments of seal
skin and some of the men had clothes made
OF birdskins, with the feathers next to their
flesh. The men had holes in their lips in
which they wore buttons of bone Their
houses were holes in the earth covered with
framework of driftwood and held up by
whalebone. They entered their houses
through dark tunnel, going down ladder,
The principal room was from 10 to 20 feet in
diameter. They used lamps for heating anil
their furniture consisted of bowls, spoons
