PRAISES
 WORK OF CONGRESS
NEEDS OF ARMY AND NAVY HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVELY MET-pE-
 SERVES OF GRATITUDE.

Washington.-The work of the pra4sed by President Wilson in & statement saying: The needs of the army and the navy have been met in way that as- sures the effectiveness of American arms, and the war-making branch of the government has been abundantly equipped with the powers that were necessary to make the action of the nation effective.
 "The Sixty-fifth Congress, now ad- journing," the president added, de. serves the gratitude and appreciation of a people whose will aud purpose l believe it has faithfully expressed. One cannot examine the record of it's action without being impressed by it's completeness, its courage and it's full comprehension of a great task.
 q believe that it has also in equal degree and as far as possible in the fact of war safeguarded the rights of the people and kept in mind the con- sideration of social justice so often obscured in the nasty readjustments of such a crisis.
 Tt seems to me that the work Of this remarkable session has not only been done thoroughly, but that it has also been done with the utmost dis patch possible in the circumstances or consistent with full consideration of the exceedingly critical matters dealt with. Best of all, it has left no doubt as to the spirit and determine tion of the country. but has affirmed them as Loyalty and as emphatically as our fine soldiers will affirm them on the firing line"

 The namc Che Erie Drug Co. have selected for their line of family remedies. we think. is very appro- priatc one, masmuch that they are manufactured in Alaska. The name selected is that Of "TAKU" taking thc name from the famous Taku glacier Iu southeastern Alaska. The label itself Is as handsome label as we have ever looked at being Autographed in four different colors. with Che cut of thc Taku glacier ap- nearing at the top Of the label and being brought out iu an its natural colors. with a gold border on the label. which in our own judgement makes the most attractive and hand som package we have ever seen, and
 Che U.c Drug Co.'s guarantee is back of Che quality of the trade name TAKU.
 They are putting their lnc ot family remedies on the market both Co che retail and wholesale trade. SO that che Taku preparations may be purchased In different parts of Alas ka.
