has obtained the adjudication OF

This sum. however, the national ad-
jutant continued, is but a 1.-THE of the
total claims the Legion has settled IN
favor of veterans, since national
headquarters has handled only COM
plicated individual cases. Service
state and service officers appointed in

offices a majority of the claims have
been handled. These claims have
been of endless variety, including
back pay, travel a bonus ($6o pay
able on discharged, Liberty bonds
paid for but not delivered, allotments
and allowances and insurance.
One of the material advantages of
membership in the Legion, MIR. Bolles
said. is indicated by the fact that rec

members are as great as ever. while
there has been a marked decrease in
the number of claims filed by Legion

Crldei has just returned from Anchorage and Seward and reports that the express as well as the United States mail is moving rapidly and success fully over the Broad Pass and Gov ernment railroad route this winter. For the past several winters the express went via the Cordova-Fair banks route and last winter much confusion resulted When the mail routing was changed to the Broaa Pass route, the express also was changed and it has resulted in the betterment of the service. according to MT Crider.

MAYOR ROBERTSON IS
 NAMED CHAIRMAN NEW
 PUBLICITY COMMITTEE

Following a meeting Saturday af- ternoon of the Executive Committee of the Juneau Commercial Associa- tion, President Allen Shattuck an, nounced that a publicity committee composed of Mayor R. E. Robertson as Chairman, w. D. Kirk and F. 5. Hewitt, had been appointed. The work of the new committee will be largly the assembly of accurate and authoritative information on indus tries, opportunities for investment and other matters connected with the development of the district for which Juneau is the center.
 \ The appointment and organiza ton of the committee was authorized by the Association by resolution passed at its last regular meeting. Many inquiries, it was stated, are being received by the organization for information about what the Ju- neau district has to offer in the way of chances for legitimate investment. Most of the inquiries heretofore have been turned over to the Terri torial Bureau of Publicity In the future, however, such work will be handled direct by the Association through the Publicity Committee.

 Those of us who are accustomed to feel. dull. and< heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning.
 We should drink. before break fast, glass of hot water with a teaspoonfuI of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the prev ious days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire aIimentary tract before eating more food.
 The action of, limestone phos phate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorat- ing. It cleans out all the sour fer mentations, gases, waste and acid ity and gives one splendid appe- tite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs very little at the drug store, but is enough to make anyone who is both cred with biliousness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism an enthusiast on internal sanitation.
