Bad Habits.

Those who breakfast at eight
o'clock or later, lunch at twelve and
have dinner at SIX are almost certain
to be troubled with indigestion. They
do not allow time for one meal to
digest before taking another. Not
less than five hours should elapse be-
tween meals. If you are troubled with
indigestion correct your habits and
may reasonably hope for quick re-
covery. These tablets strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform it's
functions naturally. Obtainable every

 "A regimental order of French Infantry, Regiment No. 100 of the One Hundred and Twenty-eightA Di- vision, dated January IT, mentions TO less than nine severe military crimes and punishments therefore. This order was to be read three times 10 the troops in order to serve as a warning.

PASSENGER RATE
 IS REDUCED

According to the following news item taken from the Juneau Empire the steamship companies operating into that port have reduced the passenger rates from Juneau to Seattle but no mention is made of any reduction affecting the Skag- way tariff.
 The steamer Al-Ki, which is on her first trip of the year 1917, sailed south Saturday night with many passengers. The Al-Ki is now being operated with a first clas fare rate of $22.5O and second class $14.5O, the Border Line Com Dany having several weeks ago an, nounced a material reduction in the fare. The rate on the Al-Ki, which went into effect when the other passenger lines raised hteir fare to $28, and which has been $25 on the Al-Ki has again been reduced to the smaller figures given above. The officials of the company state that they can make good money off the travelling public at the lower figure, and they do not intend to charge more than the traffic will bear.

TIMBER WOLVESs
 ON BEACH LINE

Yesterday morning, while sitting in his duck blind in the vciinity of Lemon Creek, H. L. GOchenour, of the Juneau Duck Club, saw a large timber wOlg leave a small slew where it had apparently been stalk ing ducks, and, after crossing a wide stretch of tide flat, enter the timber. As is usually a hunters luck Goch was armed with shot grn instead of a cannon and on ac- count of the wolrs being out of range was unable 10 get shot.
 shortly after Goch and Kaiser" Zynda took up the trail which they followed for some distance into the timber but due to the deep snow and dense underbrush the chase had to he abandoned.
 Many fresh tracks were seen by the hunters which indicated the presence of a large pack of wolves in the locality and as a result a wolf hunt is being planned by the club.
 The duck club enjoyed one of the most strenuous days of the sea son and worked up an enormous ap- petite which nothing less than one of the famous kaukaus will be able to satisfy and the club is anxious Iy awaiting the date Set for the next bauquet.-Juneau Dispatch.
