Just What She Needed.

When women complain of WEAKNESS,
loss of strength and vitality. backache,
pains in sides and hips. dull headaches,
dizziness, floating specks. and similar
ailments. they too often accept these
troubles as their lot because they are
women, when the ailments may be the
results of disordered kidneys. Mrs

IL by this process any state should

By FRANK G. CARPENTER


 Alaska is preparing to celebrate It's sem-centennial. It is now just 50 years since the United States made the treaty with Russia by which this vast territory was ceded to us for $7,200,O00 in gold. The treaty was executed at Washington in March. 1867, by William H. Seward, our Secretary of State, and Baron Stoeckle, the Russian ambassador; and it was at Sitka in October of that year that we took formal possession of the country. Since then Alaska has been United States territory and it has grown in wealth as rapidly as any part of Uncle Sam'S do- main
 There IS no better real estate specula- tor than the American government. Since its organization, when it had bought it's independence by the war of the revolu- tion, it has made a half dozen land pur- chases, and on each it has netted many thousand per cent. The first was Lou isana and the great northwest That included all the land between the Mis- siSSipp and the Rockies, and we bought it of France in 1903 for $15000,0O. It Is worth tens of billions today. The next purchase was Florida, a state which the assessments show is now worth more than $500O00,000. James Monroe bought It Ol Spdln TOT 3o,uWUUu. llet Weto III Ioi"' and it was 26 years later that Texas came into the union and sold us it's right to parts of New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas for $10,000000.
 It was in 1S46 that we acquired the Oregon country by treaty with Great Britain and in 1S4S, we bought Califor- nia from Mexico by waving her an in- demnity of $15,0O0000. Today the assessed valuation of California is more than $3,- GOO GOO, GOO, and that is not one-half what the country is worth. little later Franklin Pierce bought another slice of Mexico for $1O,00O,OO0 and the purchases ended in 1867 with Andrew Johnson buy ing Alaska. These territories, so ac- quired, comprise more than two-thirds of the whole United States, and they cost us less than the warning nations of Europe have been spending every day. Altogether they are worth $10O0O0,0 ,0O0, ,OOu and upward, and they will increase in value as time goes on.
 Since we took possession Alaska has been steadily growing in prosperity and wealth. It cost us only cents an acre, but at the time of the transfer Seward was denounced for making bad bar z gain The country was referred to as .Polaria" and Icebergia," and was nick

fully interesting. It Is another army
 post, and the party will be received by
 the soldiers.
 The excursonists will be met at St.
 Michael by the special steamer that will
 carry them back to Seattle. The dis
 tanee in the ordinary course is further
 than from New York to London, but in
 the route taken for this celebration it
 will be considerably longer. The first
 stage of the journey will be from St.
 Michael to Nome, the gold capital of Der
 ing sea. The ship will stop several days
 there, and the stay will be full of enter tainments of one kind and another. There will be reindeer races and other Eskimo sports. There will be dog races and excursions to the gold mining properties. The visitors will see them washing gold out of the sands of the seashore, and will be shown the great hydraulic lifts moved by a river, which is carried over the mountains and made to raise the rich
 earth to the sluice boxes. The tourists will be entertained by the Arctic Brother
 hood and the Log Cabin club, and the ladies of the party and others will have 1 a reception given by the Kegoayah Kozga, the woman's club of Nome.
 | Arrangements have been made to take | the party from Nome across Boring sea to the Prbilof Islands. Here the govern ment will give an exhibition of the seal | industry allowing the travellers to walk ] about among these beautiful animals 1 ranging in size from pups as big as cat I u giant bulls, weighing 400 or 500 pounds | The next stage of the journey will be to the Aleutian Islands, which will be entered through the Unimak pass, a stop l being made at Unalaska, one of the small ! cer1 -P1 of hat rf i of the world. From the Aleutians the l ship will go on along the coast of the 1 Alaska peninsula, passing the volcano Of | Katmai and the great Island of Kodiak
 which is as big as Puerto Rico. Then | Prince William sound will be entered 1 and stop made at Seward, the south- l ern terminus of Uncle Sams railroad and where the cars will probably take the tourists inland to Anchorage and possibly | to the coal fields of Matanuska. Leav- | Ing Seward, the great copper mines on | the Island of La Touche will be visited, | and little later the ship will come to anchor at Cordova, the port for the Ken
 necott copper mine. From there by easy
 stages the vessel will return through the
 inside passage to Seattle.
 This itinerary gives but little idea of
 the wonders of the Alaska exposition. 1 Tn addition to the industrial features will be the scenic grandeur of the inside passage surpassing that of the Thousand i Islands of the St. Lawrence the Inland
 sea of Japan and the fiords of Nor way. There will be the wonders of the Yukon, the following from it's source to 1 it's mouth of one of the mightiest rivers
 of our continent, going through wilder
 ness which, in most places, is as un- touched and undescribed as was the James river and the Chesapeake bay be- ] fore Captain John Smith came into | Hampton Roads. It will include the sight
 of mountains as beautiful as any in Switzerland, and the exploration of gIa- ciers far greater than any in the Alps
 and equaled only by those of Greenland

and Antarctica. In both excursions the ships will sail right under the great river of ice, which, with wall 300 feet high, breaks out into the sea at Taku; and at Cordova the cars take the travellers to two glaciers. each of which is as high as the dome of the capitol at Washington. There will also be the fascination of the Eskimos and the Indians, of seeing game
 large and small, in it's native wilds, Of the wonders of the midnight sun and of the new world of vegetation and sky and sea which is peculiar to the far north The Alaskans are enthusiastic
