~GOy. RIGGS FAVORS RESTORING MA TIONAL. FORESTS TO PUBLIC
 '-+ DOMAIN

Gov Riggs r.vcr misses an opportunity to SD n favor cf tiftins restrictions against Alaskan elopment In his annual report this year he Ill he abolition of the National Forests and the rest ion of the lands tied up in them to the public 1ain.
 Discussing this subject, Gov. Riggs says:
 There are two great National forests in Alaska-the Chugach, comprising 5,417,S52 acres and the Tonsass, comprising 15,449,- TT acres. A corporation which has made extensive study of the forest possibilities ad- vises that not more than 10 or 15 per cent of the Tongass forest is timbered On May and August 16, 1918, 1996S0 acres were temporarily withdrawn from the public do- main Lituya Bay under the fiction of being needed for airplane spruce. An off cer in the Washington office of the Forest Service advises me that this withdrawal is to be! made permanent. .. z Il do not believe in National forests for Alaska The administration is not conduc- i've to development It is true that certain amount of money is expended ill roads and in cooperative agreements for roads, but if the provisions could be made to cover public lands, the whole country would be better off Those interested in the possible manufacture of pulp tell me that the in- dustry would have undoubtedly been estab- lsheds in Alaska if definite terms covering period of years could have been arranged for, and if the water powers not sub ject to a lease revocable at any time. It is ! hard to gain the confidence of capital when its very existence lies within the changeable whims of departmental executive. be- lieve. the present officials to be in earnest and efficient and l do not criticize the in- ' j. diyiduas, for whom l have sincere gard. Their mistakes becoming less sss cry year. but unless law is to reign instead of regulation, a change of administration might place fanatic in charge who, by stroke of the pen, could easily again bring about the disrtssing conditions accompany ing the withdrawals -of 1906.
 In my last annual report l suggested that there is no function performed by the Forest Service which could not be per formed by the General Land Office This suggestion still holds good with the excep- ton of road construction but l believe that the Territory would be better off if all the forests within Alaska to be restored to the public domain and made free all a settlement and industry The benefit to be derived from increased population would offset the sop of moneys spent in the = struction and maintenanee of roads within ei:the forests. The forestry principle involved j is contrary to traditional system of f government and is setting up vast feudal domain to be administered for good evil according to the will Of the lord for the ! time being

TINE theory Of most dentifrices is that Nature
4 made no provision for removing the acids of
food decay which ruin teeth. and that it is neces-
sary therefore, to powerful alkaline dentfrice
to neutraze these acids.
One Of the worlds leading authorities on Dental
Science, II. p. Pickerill, M. D., Oh. B., M. d. S.
(Birmingham), L. ID. S. (England), has exploded
this alkaline theory and has proved conclusiyey:
that eopous and flow of salva destroys the
acids of food decay
and that strongly alkaline dentfrice is dangerous
because paralyzes the ssvay glands and checks the
and flow of saliva thus interfering with Ma
ture's method Of preserving teeth
The dental profession has accepted the princi-
pies which DR.. Pickerih has proved Your dentist
will tell you not to use an alkaline dentifrice.
Mennen Cream Dentifrice is made to
conform to the scientific principles Of mod
ern dentistry as expounded by DR.. Pickerill.
It is non-alkaline.
