HOW OTHERS MAY BENEFIT
FROM A GENEROUS GIFT.

These statements may seem strange to some
folks, because nearly all sufferers have all along
been led to believe in the old "Uric Acid" humbug.
1t took Mr.. Ashelman fifty years to find out this
truth. lie learned how to get rid Of the true cause
of his rheumatism, other disorders and recover his
strength from "The Inner Mysteries" remarkable
book that is now being distributed free by an
authority who devoted over twenty years to the
scientihc study OF this trouble. II any reader Of
this paper wishes copy Of this book that reveals
startling facts overlooked by doctors and scientists
for centuries past simply send postcard or letter
to Il; P. Clearwater, So Street, Hallowell, Maine,
and 1t will be sent by return mail without any
charge whatever. Send nowi You may never get
this opportunity again. II not sufferer yourself
hand this good news to some afflicted friend.

HOW 1T HAPPENED.

Mr.. Ashelman is only one Of thousands who
suffered for years, owing to the general belief in
the old, false theory that "Urlc Acid" causes rheu-
matsm. This erroneous belief induced him and
legions Of unfortunate men and women to take
wrong treatments. You might just as well attempt
TO put out fire with oil to try and get rid of your
rheumatism, neurtis and like complaints, by taking
treatment supposed to drive Uric Acid out OF your
blood and body. Many physicians and scientists
now know that Uric Acid never did, never can and
never will cause rheumatism; that 1t is found in
every newborn babe, and that without it we could
not live

BACKING UP PROOF
The Kind That Middlebury People
Cannot Deny

The Kind That Middlebury People
Cannot Deny
Many an ernest Middlebury man or
woman has publicly endorsed Doans
Kidney Pills
Week after week, month after month
you've read their statements.
Would these Middlebury people rec
ommend any medicine if it were not
good?
Would they confirm and repeat their
statements after years had passed?
Local proof is good evidence.
Testimony confirmed years after is
better evidence.
The following Middlebury womans
statement leaves no room for doubt.
1t must convince every kidney suf-
ferer who reads it.
If your back aches-if your kidneys
are weak, profit by the experience of
Mrs. O. A. Comstock, S. Main St. She
says; my kidneys were disordered and
| had severe pains in my back had
other symptoms of kidney trouble and
knowing of other people who had been
cured by Doan's Kidney Pills, l began
taking them. Three boxes brought a
bout such a complete change l didn't
have to take them any longer"
Statement given August 10, 1909
LATER TESTIMONY
On September l6, 1916, Mrs Com
stock said: Il confirm all have said
in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, be-
cause they are good, always recon-
mend them when have a chance.

FLOOD CAUSE OF
 FORCE REDUCTION

Owing largely to existing flood conditions and the utter impossibility at the present time, of continuing the construction work on the govern ment railroad outlined for the season by the officials in charge of the Alaskan Engineering commission it has been deemed absolutely necessary to make, temporarily, considerable reduction in the forces operating on the right of way south of town, and accordingly, quite large force of men under Foreman Thomas Blakey have had to be laid off. ApproNi- mately about thirty men are effected by this cut in the Commission labor force and comprise nearly tine entire crew of the steel gang, who have been stationed at Camp 16. Employ ment was found for as many men of the steel gang as could possibly have been used at present.

OF JULY ID BE GALA DAY
 IN NENANA TOWN
Steps Are Being Taken to Make Day Biggest Event in History
 of Interior.

Although no definite action has been taken by the Nenana Commer- cial club, officers and committees of that organization are already out lining plans for the proper celebra- tion of the Fourth of July in Nenana, and the indications are that the cele- bration will be one of the most elaborate and enthusiastic observ- ances of the day recorded in In- terior Alaska in many years. The plans will take definite form at a meeting of the Commercial club, to be held next Sunday afternoon.
 The celebration a year ago was curtailed to some extent, out of con- sideration for Fairbanks. The Ne mana ball players and numerous residents accepted the invitation of the upper town to spend the holiday in Fairbanks, the understanding be- ing that Fairabnksans would return the compliment this year. Accord ingly, the local plans will be made with view to accommodating a large number of visitors, and one of the big features of the day probably will be a championship ball game. Motor boat races on the Panama also undoubtedly will enlven the day. A number of local gas boat owners arc eager for an opportunity to enter their speeders.
 It is too early to discuss the pro- gram in detail, but those who are considering plans for the celebration of the day, give their assurance that the entertainment will be sufficiently attractive to draw people from all nearby points on the Panama river.

The opposi- tion to the German advance is grow ing stronger steadily and it is defin- itely stated today that the rush of the enemy between the rivers Marne and Oureq was halted during the night.

The Germans have not crossed the Marne and ap- parently are not making very strong efforts to do so.
 The Germans have crossed the Dormans-R Rheims road, and the town of Vile Entardencia, which was heavily bombarded by the enemy re- gently, has been evacuated by the Allies.

DIRECTS SURVEY WORK ON
 HIGHER GROUND
Commission Engineers Go Into Field In Search of Data For Possible
 Use Later.
For the purpose of gleaning in

formation, with the relocation of .he Government railroad as an ultimate possibility, two survey parties were started out into the field this morn- ing. These survey parties will com mence operations immediately from opposite ends of the proposed survey line and continue same until they meet.
 For the purpose of expediting this important feature of the work ana gain the necessary information ln the quickest possible time, the en- gineering staff of Residency 1, under Resident Engineer Kenneth Case and that of Residency 8, under Resident Engineer Howard G. Haslem, have been consolidated. MT. Case, as senior resident engineer, will be in charge of this party.
 MT. Cases party commenced oper- ations this morning and beginning at a point a short distance below the camp at Residency 8 (35-mile) will work in a northerly direction towards town and it is believed that the line they will run will completely eliminate Lost Slough and the possi- bility of any future damage from this source.
 The engineering force of Residency ?, under Resident Engineer Ike P. Taylor, also went out to the field this morning and will commence oper- ations at a point between bridges 5 and 6, in the neighborhood of Fish creek, carrying the survey south wards until the party under Mir Case will be met.
 All of the necessary arrangements for camp and mess purposes have been made for a prolonged stay of the two parties in the field. At the present time, the duration of the sur vey cannot be aseertained.

 MEN AVAILABLE
Head of Engineering Commission Expects Congress to Act on
 Bill Very Soon.

SEATTLE.-Chairman W. C. Edes, of the Alaskan Engineering commis- sion, who sailed for Anchorage on Saturday after a brief stay in this city, said, before his departure for the North, that Alaskans must be patient regarding the failure of con- gress to act on the appropriation bill. He said that winning the war is the big problem now before the national lawmakers, but he believed money to continue the railroad work in Alaska would be provided within
 Regarding the plans of the com mission, Chairman Edes said that he hoped to make it possible to haul coal from the Nenana coal fields into airbanks by next winter. With ref erence to the government activities in the Matanuska coal fields, he said that it was contemplated to mine coal this year only for the use of locomotives and railroad work.
 The activities of the commission, he said in conclusion, will depend almost entirely upon the number of men available for the work.
