mittee, spoke briefly on the
great importane of providing
the town with a good school
General Storekeeper Howard
p. Curtis reminded the mem
bers of the club that Quitting
time would commence within
a few weeks, with the partial
suspension of activities along
the grade. He urged that an
effort be made by local mer-
chants to keep the QUILTING
business at home this fall, in
stead of letting it get away
from them, as it did last fall.
Rev. Robert Joseph Diven,
who recently came to Nenana
to take charge of the Presby-
terrain church work here, said
that he liked the Interior and
the people he had found here
and expressed a desire to as
sist in the upbuilding of the
community.
r. c. Morris told a little
story by way of introduction
then asked several pertinent
questions regarding h e
status of unsold lots to which
Manager Christensen made re-
ply. 1t was pointed out by Mr..
Norris that a number of lots
sold a year ago are being held
for speculation, without i'm
prOyements. He believed that
anyone desiring to engage in
business should be given the
opportunity to acquire proper
ty at a reasonable figure.
Herman Anderson also eX-
pressed the belief that some
action should be taken to pro-
tect those seeking investment
in homes or in business enter
prises.
The geneial Max Smith,
local manager for the Nothern
Commercial company, mOdestly
informed his fellow townsmen
that he was only a bean ped
der, but ready to do his bit
at all times to further the in
terests of the town.
The banquet was prepared
and served by the Tavern Cafe
and reflected much credit on
that establishment. The menu
consisted of a variey of cold
meats, salads, celery, relishes,
coffee. assorted cakes and ice
cream. Near beer and lemonade
were the beverages.

ia and the presence of Chair
man w. c. Edes, of the Alask-
ma and the presence of Chair
and Manager a. Christensen OF
the I.ald aad Industrial de-
partment of the commission.
were made the occasion last
evening of a joint celebration,
in which the visitors particl-
pated as the guests of the Ne
mana Commercial Club-the
guests of honor at the first real
banquet enjoyed in the town.
There were also present, as
the guests of the club, the
heads of the various depart
ments of the local commission
force, and Various friends of
the members. The entire atten-
dance numbered fifty four.
When all had gathered about
the tables, which were arranged
in the shape of the letter L,
with Chairman Edes, Manager
A. Christensen Commissioner
Thos. Riggs Jr., TOwnsite Man
ager F. S. Ryus, Commissioner
Robert E. Burns, POSTMASTER
George Pennington and others
seated at the top, Commissioner
Burns briefly outlined the pur-
pose of the gathering, remind
ing those present of the Won
derful growth of the town i'll
the year that had elapsed since
the sale of lots, which had been
conducted by Mr.. Christensen
on his earlier visit to the In
terror. He reviewed the work
of the Commercial Club and
suggested the possibilities OF
continued concerted action, at
the same time calling atten-
to certain urgent needs of the
town. He concluded his remarks
by Introducing Mr.. Pennington
as master of ceremonies for
the evening. **: -
Mr.. Pennington, than whom
there is no more able orator
in the NOrthland, reviewed the
development of the govern
ment enterprise, which Origi-
mated among the pioneers of
Interior Alaska, and expressed
the hope that the members OF
the commission would continue
to be liberal in considering the
the immediate needs of the
Interior country and particu-
larly Nenana, which he enum-
Grated for the benefit of Cair-
man Edes and Manager Christ
ensen. These needs include a
bank, a bonded warehouse, and
a school.
When the POSTMASTER called
on Mr.. Edes to address the
gathering, the chairman of the
commission demonstrated that
he had been informed that he
was to attend a smoker, with
out speeches. He said that, be-
ing a good smoker, and not
much of talker, he had wei
coined the opportunity to meet
the people of Nenana under
those circumstances. He demon
strated, however, that he could
talk as well as smoke, and his
remarks carried with them
the conviction that his heart
is in the work in which he and
the other members of the COM
mission are engaged. He said
he did not anticipate any
change in the plans of the COM
mission with regard to the
work. SO long as congress con-
tinues to supply the money,

FRENCH SHELLS HIT
GERMAN GAS TANKS

Paris-French air scouts re-
port that number of German
gas tanks were exploded dur
ing the heavy fighting yester-
day by shells from the French
batteries. The deadly gas
spread quickly among the Ger
mans in the immediate vicinity,
causing the death of many
and throwing the troops into
the greatest disorder. The in.
cident occurred on the Cham,
payne front.

however, that war conditions
might make it more difficult in
the future to obtain funds at
Washington, especially in the
case of a long struggle with
the enemy.
Regarding the work which
he has inspected since his ar
rival here, Mr.. Edes said that
he was very well pleased with
the showing made, handicap
ped as the Interior end has
been, by adverse conditions
during the past season.
Mr.. Christensen, who was
called upon next, said that he
was pleased to find an ener-
getic commercial organization
in a town so young as Nenana.
He expressed the belief that the
club would be a great help in
putting the town on a solid
footing. Without an organiza-
ltion of that kind, he said, a
town would have difficulty
in getting anywhere. In speak
ing of the school situation, Mr..
christensen cautioned Nenana-
ties to exercise care in the
selection of a board of trustees
at the approaching election.
He said that the government
would present the town with a
modern school house and that
| it was up to the people to see
that the affairs of the school
were properly administered.
Questioned with regard to
a lot sale Mr.. Christensen said
| that no effort would be made
this year to dispose of any
property at public auction. He
Isaid, however, that residence
lots would be sold, through the
townsite office, to those desir-
ing them for purpose of home
building. .
! Responding to the demand
of the POSTMASTER for a bank,
Commissioner Riggs suggested
that it might be a little strong
to expect the chairman to carry
banks and bonded warehouses
and school houses around with
his other luggage. He said,
however, that the bank Ques-
ton could be partially solved
be depositing all the surplus
! Nenana cash with the commits
sion, where it would be gladly
received in exchange for gov
eminent warrants. In this man
ner, it would be possible to
Iavoid the risk and expense of
shipping money from Fair
banks during the winter to meet
the commission payroll.
DR.. Malcolm E. Smith said
that his experience among the
people of Nenana had convinc-
ed him that they were deserv-
ing of all that they could get
the government to do for them.
He spoke in terms of warmest
praise of the towns high stan
dard of citizenship and eX-
pressed the belief that the COM
mercial club would play an i'm
portant part in the future
development of the town.
Townsite Manager F. S. Ry-
us gave a brief outline of the
improvements contemplated by
his department and reminded
those present that it would
be his unpleasant duty in the
very near future to collect
from the property owners for
improvements already made.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti.
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. BY asking 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, all
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
1t darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied
It's SO easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and draw
it through your hair, taking one strand
at time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and beau

rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene

kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores Of the skin are also a means OF
freeing the blood of this iInpurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work, they
become weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness.
