STOP CATARRH
WITH Vim HEPATICA

Right now is when catarrh is most
dangerous and most easily contrac-
ted. You go out and get your feet
wet, expose yourself to cold, and
the first thing you know you have
catarrh, which, if not stopped at once
may quickly lead to deadly pneumo-
MIA and tuberculosis.
No matter how slight your case is,
even a slight dropping in the throat,
you should start Immediately to take
Vim Hepatica, the great vegetable
prescription which acts with such
soothing and healing effect upon the
mucous membranes, cleansing and
toning up the vital organs of the body
and enabling them to perform their
natural functions in throwing off
catarrh and making you proof against
other diseases so prevalent this time
of year. We recommend it. Come
in and get a bottle now.

ID ERECT ASYLUM IN
 TERRITORY

Aside from complaints that have been made about the treatment of insane patients from Alaska, data has been gathered to show that it would be a saving to the government to have them cared for in Alaska, and Alas kans have gone on record as favoring the plan, but so far nothing has been accomplished The first definite step in that direction has been taken by Delegate Charles A. Sulzer, who on Jan. 4th, introduced the following bill is the house:
 A BILL making an appropriation for the establishment of a hospital for the care and custody of the legally adjudged insane of Alaska, providing for the selection of the site thereof and for other purposes:
 Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress as- sembled; That the sum of $2OO ,OOO be- and the same hereby, appropriated, to be paid out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated for the purchase of a site for and the construction and equipment of a hos pital for the care and custody of the legally adiudged insane persons of Alaska
 Sec. 2.-That the secretary of the interior is authorized, and is hereby directed, to appoint commission of three persons all of whom shall have expert knowledge of the care and treatment of insane persons, to select a suitable site in Alaska for said hOsp- tai The secretary of the interior shall fix the compensation of said commis- sioners, which, together with their necessary travelling expense, shall not exceed $5,OOO, which shall be paid from this appropriation.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-01-24

Sec. 3.-That the secretary of the treasury is hereby authorized to pur- chase said site, at a cost not to ex- ceed $1O,OO0. and enter into a contract for the completion and equipment of said building within the limit of cost herein provided.
 Sec. 4.-That the secretary of the interior is hereby authorized, upon the completion of said hospital to transfer the legally adjudged insane of Alaska thereto and provide regula. tions for their care therein until such time as the legislature of the territory of Alaska, or congress may provide otherwise.
