Must Continue to Suffer From
, the Fiery Itching?

This is indeed the burning ques-
ton with those who are the VIC
tins of itching. burning. fiery irri-
tations that break out all over the
skin. causing its victim to itch and
scratch with almost constant tor
ture. Going from bad to worse,
with only a temporary lull in the
suffering. you have about reached
the conclusion that you are doom
ed to have this terrifying disease
as your life companion.
If you have followed the usual
course of treatment, you have
doubtless used lotions, ointments,
salyes and washes abundantly. in
an effort to get some sort of re.
lief from your torture. Probably
you have received temporary re.
lief from the fiery itching by the
use of local treatpent. but your
experience will be like that Of
thousands of others who have
found that such treatment does
not reach the cause of the dis
ease, and cannot for this reason
NIKE any progress toward a cure.
While IT IS true that the visible
lo&tion of this trouble is appar-
enfy on the skin. you must look
deeper for its origin. and until you
locate its starting point. and direct
YOUR treatment there. you will con-
tinue to suffer.
The skin is fed from the blood,
and upon the condition of the
bio cd depends whether or not
your skin wild be healthy and free
from boils. pimples. scaly irrita-
tons. red eruptions and other dis

TOWN OF STEWART HAS NARROW ESCAPE
 FROM X BAD FIRE
STEWART. (By Mail)-

STEWART. (By MaiD-
 A fire which threatened the entire town of Stewart broke out there at 3 o'clock Saturday morning in a small soft drink stand run by Helen Long ore. opposite the Northern hotel. The store itself was consumed entirely and the building. which was to be- come the new cabaret, as well as the Biz Store. were badly Scorchcd. The fire jumped across the street and the Northern Notel was threatened for some tir.e as it's oof caught fire. The entire damage is placed at about S3 .OOO. The two larger buildings were fully covered by insurance and the soft drink parlor had S400 worth.
 The fire caused furry of ex- citement and large number of vol un,eer fine fighters turned out. The Prince Albert had just arrived from the south with big crowd of pasSen- gers and the Northern hotel was fill ed with guests. These were all turn ed out in the middle of the night as looked certain that the hotel would be burned also.
 The hotel arrivals and the volun- tecr fire fighters worked with a will to fight the fire. Buckets of water from the incoming tide and snow from the adjoining drifts were thrown on the flames and the blaze was finally consumed before it had got such a hold as to burn the entire town. It was well on to in the morning when the fire was completely extinguished and much credit is due Co the volunteer firemen.

- ssss [ SEWARD IS LOGICAL
 PLACE FOR CAPITAL
IF THE REPRESENTATIVES o'

IF THE REPRESENTATIVES of the Second division, the Third Divi- sion and the Fourth Divison would combine their forces in preparing memorial to Congress asking that the capital be removed to a more central part of Alaska, We believe the bill would go through q flying. At the time the capital was piaccd at Juneau it was the center of population. Since that time the Third Division has eX- banded tremendously and the buSi- ness interests of the territory demand that the capital be placed nearer the center of Alaska Seward would be the logical place for it, as it is at the terminal of the government rail- way, would be convenient for the 4th Division and for Nomeites, and would give the government railway a great impetus in travel and tonnage. The First division could raise but four votes against the proposition to l2 from the northern divisions. If the capital is ever to be brought to Alaska proper now is the time to strike be- fore money is wasted constructing government buildings at Juneau. This would centralizc things, which is a hobby of the present administra- ton. (Valdez Miner.)
