UNDERTAKING IS NOT POPULAR

The Dispatch was due to spring bombshell in the ranks of the Demo- cratic party in Alaska last Sunday vixen Dan Sutherland was to start his serial entitled "All About Mileage" or "Who Are the Grafters in Alaska Politics." After the reading public was all tuned up to concert pitch awaiting the great revelations to be sprung by Dan, the first number was wlat was called during the late war a "dud" a shell which came through the dirt without exploding. Island News.
 The screeds of Dan Sutherland, the mileage grabber, are so palpably false that it would be misnomer to refer to their author as a common liar It is not common for one to be so braezn in his lying particularly not when lie puts what he says in print. It would be waste of time and effort to go into details or present specifi- cations where everything is apparent -as we'll caricature the devil or dec crate skunk with Chinese stinck- pot-Juneau Empire.
 Senator Dan Sutherland is the Moses of the Republican party in the First Division. He is an astute pol itician, as he has just discovered there is a democratic machine in the territory. Dan has not discovered the Republican machine yet, which probably accounts for many things Dan is informing the readers of The Juneau Dispatch of his discovery. He claims to be the original little Chris topher Columbus of the First What

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

It's nearly time to have an old building demolishing committee. All the old buildings that are not worth painting should be torn down and every building in the downtown dis trict should have a coat of Colonial yellow or white paint. This will i'm prove the value of your property, Mr. Citizen; get busy. The cost is big but examine the returns.-Juneau Clean.
 Ketchikans prosperity is indicated in no uncertain way by the extensive improvements now in progress in con- nection with both public and private property. Conditions here are partic- ularly noticeable now because they contrast so favorably with conditions elsewhere in Alaska. Other towns are undertaking no public improvement. All of them, except Ketchikan, have lost heavily in population in the last two years and have no occasion to add to the number of dwelling houses. The fishing industry, permanent in its character, insures the permanent prosperity of Ketchikan.-ketchika Times.
 The jury in Juneau that tried the latest booze case did whole lot towards making jury duty more pou- lar in Alaska. They called for sam- pies of all the stuff alleged to have been found and used up considerable of the evidence making sure it was the real thing.-Douglas News.

Idle Questions.

Idle Questions.
Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
Just few idle questions OF idle mo-
ments. but hope you will find time
to answer them.
What is the object Of letter writ
ing or correspondence? Some peo-
pie seem to have an almost unlim-
tied number Of persons with whom
to correspond. and l sometimes
wonder If they write all these letters
because they really enjoy writing,
or is it because they want to re-
ceive letters and perhaps give the
impression that they are popular?
In writing letters l find 1t diffi-
cult to refrain from the frequent
repetition of a." and my affairs and
dofngs. Should l try to deviate a
little more and write of the local
happenings, etc, (this is in case OF
writing to casual friend or
acquaintance)
In writing to a friend whom one
likes quite well, and being uncertain
Of his liking. though ne chose to
write first, what would be the most
accepted and proper form OF ad-
dress, and in closing the letter what
forms should be used?
The acquaintance was Of a short
duration, matter Of few weeks.
Is the use of colored stationery
considered bad taste?
Hoping to receive your reply. I
am, sincerely yours, L. r.
Letters, to some, are companions.
Sometimes they are more entertain
ing than human companions.
hardly think people keep up a
large correspondence to give the
impression that they are popular.

Doctor Says Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make Nervous Rundown Peo- pie 100go Stronger in-Two
 Weeks Time in Many

Cas -ss. .ss1s1a NEW YORK, N. Y.-"one glance Is enough to tell which people have iron in their blood" said Dr. E. Sauer a Boston physician who has studied widely both in this country and in Great European medical institu- tions in a recent discourse They are the ones that do and dare. The others are in the weakling class. Sleepless nights spent worrying over supposed ailments, constant dosing with habit forming drugs and narcotics for ner- vous weakness, stomach. liver or kid ney disease and useless attempts to brace up with strong coffee or other stimulants are what keep them suffer- ing and vainly longing to be strong Their real trouble is lack of iron in the blood. Without iron the blcod has no power to change food into living tis. sue and therefore, nothing you eat does you any good; you don't get the strength out of it. The moment iron Is supplied the multitude of danger ous symptoms disappear. I have seen dozens of nervous, rundown people who are ailing all the time, double and even triple their strength and en- durance and entirely get rid of every sign of dyspepsia, liver and other trouble in from ten to f.urteen days time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been factoring for month without any benefit.
