 poG.FEED FOR TELLER

Oscar CrookStad, a well known old
 timer who arrived in town from Cape
 Wooley Monday, says tons of frozen
 whale meat taken from the carcass of
 one of those huge sea mammals found
 near Cape Douglas is being hauled tp Teller and other points along the we;t |coast for use as dog feed, of which there is great scarcity at present. Ac- 'cording to Crookstad, the whale is of huge size. assuring about 75 feet in legenth and is frozen so solidly that frozen chips of the meat fly in all di rections when axes are used in chop ping the carcass into pieces. osc.'r says it's like chopping in hard wood The whale was found some time after the ice came in and evidently driftcd ashore with the sIush ice. When found the huge body was entirely incrusted with q thick coating of ice. The meat l is in an excellent state of preservation land makes excellent dog feed.

HELPED THREE
 IN ONE FAMILY
MIR AND MRS w. j. SNAPPER AND SON ARE REMARKABLY BUILT
 UP BY TANLAC

"I can almost feel myself gaining strength every day since I commenced taking Tanlac," said W. J. Swaffer who lives at 4l6 Sherbreck street. Winnipeg, while talking to a Tanlac representa- tive the other day.
 When l returned from France for some time" continued Mir Swaffer my whole system was in a very badly run down condition. I got back home last May and I thought that when I got away from the horrors of war and could rest up awhile I would be all right. but have been gradually getting in worse shape ever since got home. My appetite was so poor that I hardly ever wanted to eat any thing, and no matter how appetizins my meals were, just q few bites seemed to fill me right up. | felt so tired and exhausted all the time that didn': feel like doing a thing but sit down or lie down, and it was an effort for me to get about at all. Then I contracted rheumatism in my legs and they achei and pained me so bad at times I could hardly stand it. When l sat down any length of time my legs would get so stiff could hardly get up and walk. did everything could think of to get rid of these troubles, but my condition gradually got worse all the time.
 'I had read a good deal about the good Tanlac was doing so many people. so l decided to try Il few bottles of it in me, and help me to get rid of the troubles that were making life miser- erabIe for me. Well, sir. that medi- cine has just put me right square on my feet again, and I am as well and strong now as I ever was in my life. My appetite has come back and I can eat anything that is put before me In fact l can hardly get enough to cut. l have gained ten pounds in weight so far. and know I am still gaining. The rheumatism has left too, and l can get around and do as much work in Il day as ever could in my life. My entire system has been great. ly built up. and I can honestly say that l never felt better in my life than do now. My wife, who has suffered a good deal with stomach trouble is taking Tanlac now, and it is doing her a world of good. l also started my little boy on it some time ago. as he has been very puny and thin, and do you know. that boy has gained about five pounds already and is as lively as q cricket all the time. Yes sir, we are strong for Tanlac at our house and never lose an opportunity to say a good word for it.
 Tanlac is sold in Nome by Lomen Bros Advertisement.

REMEDY DEFECTS IN BUTTER
Use Of Churn Numbers Would Enable
Inspectors to Sort Out Various
Churninqs.

Some of the defects noted by butter
inspectors Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture are: Old cream
flavor, wavy or mottled appearance,
too much salt, and ieakiness in the
butter. These defects are reported to
the shipper when the inspection GER
tificate is sent him, so that he may
know why his butter scores low and
may remedy the defects.
The use Of churn numbers, SO that
the receivers can more readily sort out
separate churnings, IS urged by food
product inspectors of the bureau Of
markets, United States department Of
agriculture. In one lot Of butter. for
example, the score varied from 50 to
80. As no churn numbers were shown.
the only way the receiver could sep
arate the butter was by examining ev-
cry tub. If churn numbers had been
shown it would have been simple
matter to separate the various churn-
ings and sell them according to score.
1t is not possible to take time to ex-
anime every tub, so the butter is sold
according to the samples taken, and at
a discount If the samples vary much.
If there should happen to be just one
poor tub in the shipment and the s.m-
pier found 1t, the whole shipment
would suffer; while If churn numbers
were used, only the tubs in that churn-
ing would receive the lower score.

japanese Paper UndercIothing.

An excellent and durable quality Of
undercloth:ng has been made of fine
grained paper by Japanese manufac-
turers. After the paper has been cut
to a pattern, the different parts are
sewn together and hemmed, and the
places where the buttonholes are to
be formed are strengthened with cali
co or linen. The paper is very strong
and at the same time very flexible.
After a garment has been worn few
hours, It will interfere with the pers-
piration Of the body no more than do
garments made of cotton fabrics. The
paper is not sized, nor is it imperme-
able. After becoming wet the paper is
difficult to tear. When an endeavor
is made to tear it by hand 1t presents
almost as much resistance as the thin
skins used for making gloves.

MIX RECORD IS EXCELLENT
Shipment Made From Ioe Anoelo0 .
Chicago Found Sweet Eighteen
Days Afterward.

prepared by the United States Depart"
ment Of Agricrlture)
When q bottle Of cream shipped
from Los Angeles to the national dairy
show at Chicago, was opened and test
ed 18 days after It had left the COW,
1T was pronounced in perfect condition
by those who examined it. Other
samples of milk and cream entered In
the national milk and cream contest
and examined 10 to Is days after pro-
duction were also found to be sweet.
Because Of the number Of bacteria
present, ordinary milk will not remain
wholesome for such long time, even
II kept cold. The milk and cream
which made such long keeping records
were produced under very sanitary
conditions. and every precaution was
taken to keep them clean and to keep
the bacteria count low. Furthermore,
the milk was cooled to a low tempera-
ture Immediately after 1t was drawn,
and held there. The success attained
in producing milk Of such long-keep-
ing qualities and low bacterial count
is due in a large measure to the edu-
cational value Of the local milk and
cream contests which have been espe-
cially popular In cities Of the Pacific
coast states.
The bottles Of milk, which were
placed in boxes, and surrounded with
crushed ice, were kept at q tempera-
ture from 80 degrees to "a degrees f.
at all times. The boxes were shipped
in baggage cars to Chicago. and most
of them were not re-iced along the
route. An inspection Of the samples
on arrival at Chicago showed that Of
the various methods Of packing, the
insulated box filed with crushed ice
was the most effective. The bottles
Of milk In these boxes were entirely
surrounded by the ice, which was
packed in as tightly as possible. One
or two samples packed in ice and
sawdust arrived in a spoiled condition,
due to the fact that a low enough tenn
perature had not been maintained.
The ice in the insulated boxes lasted
well, and one box from Portland, Ore
gon, which was re-iced at Minneapolis
on Tuesday did not arrive in Chicago
until the following Saturday, but was
still in good condition.
When milk is produced and handled
under the right conditions it can be
shipped to almost any point in the
United States, or to foreign countries,
and arrive in good condition. At pres
ent considerable quantities are being
shipped to Panama, and are used on
ocean liners plying between this coun-
try and Europe.

Sulphur Deposits In Alaska.


Located in the crater Of q snow

a large deposit Of sulphur, believed to
contain from 10000 to 5000 tons. A
claim hrs been fled for the location,
and nlnfzg operations probably will
