RISKS LIFE TO STAY IN
 ALASKA

Anchorage Sept. 10. - While thousands of persons are abandon int assured positions and stable business interets in Alaska for temporarily high wages and uncer- tain trade conditions In the states, one resident of Anchorage imperl- ed bis life to stay in the northlana.. From a steamship that was , an hour out of Anchorage on her goy- age to Seattle, he jumped overheard and swan ashore, the distance he. negotiated in, the cold waters of Cook Inlet being estimated at if teen, miles. He was fourteen hours; reacsing land. His voluntarily. i'm posed, task was accomplished with. out the aid of log, stick of tim Der or any other floating thing. His absence from the vessel was noted soon after he had leaped over the side, and on the arrival of the craft in Seward the fact of his dis appearance was telephoned to An chorage. Just 8 short while be fore the receipt of the message, h 6 had returned to Anchorage and as surance of his safety surprised and elated everybody on the southbound boat.
 He is a little fellow, with brown curly hair and gray, intelligent eyes. He possesses >well-Rnit physi- cal frame, with sturdy limbs. AS might be supposed from his Sea faring achievement, he Is endowed with youth-the youth that Is just merging into maturity and that in is hopeful exuberance knows no such word as fail, no such thing as fear. He is called by his familiars Jim.
 Jim is a mongrel dog, with the spaniel breed predominating. His owner, A. M. L. Ramsey, who was employed on the government rail road in Anchorage, was g passenger for Seattle on the steamship Jim ,aoapdoled at sea, .-,-

Bac':kache ': Is A Warning
Skagway People should Not Ne 3I glect Their Kidneys.
Yanksi.

Backache Is often natures most frequent signal of weakened kid neys. To relieve the pains and aches, to remove the iameness when 1t arises from weakened kidneys, you must reach the cause.-the kid news. If you have pain through th, small of your back, urinary dis orGers, headaches, dizzy spells, or are nervous and depressed, start treating the kidneys with & tested kidney remedy.
 Doan's kidney Pills have been pioved good and are especially for weak kidneys. Doan's have been used in kidney trouble for over 50 years. Here is convincing proof of merit.
 Mrs. M. P. Lawrence, 755 Van CouYer Ave, Portland', Ore, says: q have recommended Doan's Kidne Pil'a to any number of people. Wher was In St. Louis was in poor health because of kidney trouble. Backache and dizzy spells bothered me and was annoyed great deal by the way my. kidneys act e. My hands and feet swelled dreadfully. My back ached and l ,waa miserable in every way. T started using Doan's Kidney Pills and after I had used about seven boxes. my back and, kidneys were strcng and I haven't suffered that way sinee."
 P'"ce soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Lawrence had. Foster MiIpurn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

While l look we'll enough now, and have good appetite, l have not re- covered the o.d-time endurance. The si. kness which I experienced last winter cut me down frightfully.
 The sickness came on me early in January last winter, while l was at the Royal Northwest Mounted Pali.e headquarters at Herschel IsloaI. I first had typhoid, then pneumonia and later pleurisy. Con stable Lamont, of the police force also took sick at the same place one week after I did, and he sue cumDed. An Eskimo interpreter there also took sick and died. Iy- phoid took us all down. We could not account for the origin of the | typhoid, unless it was In butter, as it s understood typhoid germs can pc conveyed long distances in butter, which is supposed to obtain n n infection sometimes from water l in which it is worked.
 "I had a long, hard fight of it, pr. due to the kind services of the police boys and others, l pull ed through.

He escorted me to hIs headquarters at the mouth of he Porcupine, at Fort Yukon, Alas ka, where I remained until leaving there on the present journey few. days ago.

Having leclureQ AJ OdhSOu AOA the benefit of the Red Cross so- ciety O. that place, the local or fieiais of the Skagway branch of the Red Cross decided to request Yuhjalmur Stefansson, the noted Arctic explorer to do likewise here noon bis arrival from the interior. In accordance with this plan, telegram was sent to MT. Stefans- son today, requesting him to favor Skagway with a talk, and late this afternoon Mir. Cole, of the Red Cross society received reply that it would be impossible to comply with the request.
 MT. tefansson replied that he was walking out over the trail from Bennett, and this would bring him irto skagway probably late tomor- raw, and as he intends to sail sout on the Princess sophia leaving this port at ! o'clock tomorrow night, time would not permit him to give a talk. AIA
 The following taken from the Dawson News tells in part what the Doted explorer said in that city;
 MT. Stefansson, although a man o years Of experience, is comparatively young, and evidently good for much more extensive exploration work which he has planned. He states tha. the siege of typhoid, pneumon q ard Dleurisy which he experienced succeSsively last winter has dragged him down so that he feels he will not be ready for fresh exploration work for another year at least but he is desirous of doing what he can for the patriotic Srevice, and plans to start in immediately by lecturing for the Red Cross. He is under contract to begin his first formal and official lecture in New York city, the center of big things snd big money, but on the way thera is giving only unofficial talks. He expects that after arrival East he will have a fine series of pie lures, slides and equipment with which fully to elaborate his theme. However, he has a very interesting story to tell now, and is man or most pleasant address, speaking the clearest and most incisiYe English and being thoroughly acquainted with all the history of great Arctic explorations aside from his own. He is a man of slightly more than medium height, erect and broad shouIdered, with broad and rugged yet kindly features, in which Scan dinaYian lineage is sharply marked. He has a massive shock of chest nus hair, and keen and earnest yet kindly eyes, and takes an intense interest in everything about him an in all whom he meets.
 "On leaving Dawson," says MT. Stefansson, q shall go direct to Els Quimslt, near Victoria, to report re Epecting my expedition to the North. l. will De remembered that the ex- petition sailed from Esquimalt in 1913, and was under the direction ta the naval service of the Canadian g yernment. Some had the mistaken idea is was directed by the marine branch.

 'IAlthough 1 had many and varied experiences in the Arctic on the lonz trips since 1913, must say I never missed meal, but, of course soms of the meals were not 30 el- aNorate as I had sampled in the good old land far to. the south.
 'I was pretty much out of the world so far as mail was concerned while in the Arctic. It will De re- membered we met with number of reverses. The steamr Karluk, which was crushed in the ice in January, 1914, northwesterly of Boring strait, was in charge fo Capt. Bartlett. He had to make a long trip outoYer the Ice to the Siberian coast. l prac- tically was three years without mail I had advanced to Melville island, far 10 the eastward from Herschel island, and had left two men at Kel- let point to get the mail from the ships and to bring 1t through to me. Contrary to nlana and instructions, they attempted an ill-advised trip to me during the adverse season, with the consequence the two men and the mail were lost. We found the body Of one man, the next spriEg, but never found the other nor the mail. It was in 1916 this loss occurred. During 1915 receiv ed no official mail, for the reason l was supposed to be dead, and what ever mall was dispatched was sent in the name of my assistant. 1''..
 When was taken i'll, last Jan uary l had just secured an outfit and had planned to start north ward over the ice from Cross is- land, west of Herschel island, and to swing later and go eastward to Melville island, a distance of a hout 500 miles. That would make journey eight times as long as Capt. Bartlett made in mushing fro the Karluk to the Siberian coast. When was unable to carry out the expedition, my first assistant, s. T. storkerson, took charge, and went forward over the ice, with Esktmos and dogs and supplies. He Btarted in March, 1914 going northerly rom Cross island, Alaska. He had sleds. After going fifty miles three sled! were emptied and sent back. After going due north 175 miles, he sent back all the other sleds but two The last sent back reached the ship Pol.r Bear at Barker island in April.
 "At the 175-mile point storkerson was 75 miles beyond the point reached by the Lethingwell-Mikkel- sen expedition, the farthest north definitely explored in that region. Stol kerson has been on new ground, and had planned to so northward till 300 miles north of the Alas Kan coast line, and then easterly to Melville island. Or at least that vii cility. There is no way of telling whs. success he has had. I am a waiting anxiously the bringing of news from that region by. ships. He did not have much to travel with after sending back the last sleds, and had three or four men Still with him. They would be travelling prac- ticallY all the time on the mass of moving ice which gathers about the region of the pole."' .~...' .'

 Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeabie diet, avoiding foods that disagree with them, that irrftaAe the stomach and lead to excess acid secretion, or they can eat as they please in reason and make it prac- tice to coanteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent the fofma- ton of gas. souruess or premature Bisurated Magnesia at thefr meals,
 There is probably no better, safer or more reliable stomach ankiacid than Bisurated Magnesia and 1t is widely used for this purpose. It has no direct action son the stemarh and is not 3 digestent.
