The American Russian Chamber OF
Commerce in q statement dealing with
the announcement by Washington D.
Vanderlip of Los Angeles. Cal, that he
had acquired from the Soviet Govern
Inent a sixty year concession for tract
OF 400,O square miles in Northeastern
Siberia, including Kamchatka, and that
the Soviet Government had contracted
with him for the purchase OF three
billion dollars worth of merchandise in
the United States. said these reports are
not to be taken seriously.
The statement which was issued yes
terday said that at the time of the gold
excitement at Nome the Russian Gov
eminent granted a concession for this
territory in Northeastern Siberia, and
it was explored without finding any
thing of value, About this time"
says the statement, "a certain Washing
ton D. Vanderlip wandered through
some of this country among the Eski-
mos. and afterwards wrote UP his ex-
periences in an American magazine.
Recently, it appears. he persuaded
some wealthy Californians to stake him
for further explorations. and in Vladivos-
tok fell in with a Bolshevik Commissar
who formerly lived in America, and
who passed him on to the Soviet author
tiles al Moscow. These men seem to
have handed over to him the old Rus
sian concession mentioned and then sent
out propaganda representing him as the
head of a gigantic American syndi-
cate with which they had entered into
business relations.
See Attempt at Deception.
1.-THE representations concerning raw
materials which the Soviets propose to
export in payment are" says the state
ment. utterly without foundation. The
whole story is undoubtedly intended to
deceive the American public into
belief that business with the Soviet
Government Is possible and to influence
public opinion toward recognition of the
Soviet Government, proceeding which
would legalize their seizure and con-
fiscation of the property of individuals
companies, banks. &C.. the proceeds OF
which they would use both for their
enormous propaganda abroad and for

COULDN'T REGAIN
STRENGTH AFTER
INFLUENZA ATTACK

Victims of the present epidemic OF
influenza should profit by the expert
ence of those who suffered from the
disease year ago. This is especially
true of the treatment OF the after
effects.
When the influenza germs enter the
system all the disease fighting forces
of the blood are mustered into the
service of expelling the invaders. In
most cases it il, II hard fight at the
end of which ~ blood is left weak and
thin. Failure to adopt proper methods
of treatment during eonvalescence will
mean, in many cases, the development
of neurasthenia, anemia, neuralgia or
rheumatism. Among the very common
after effects of the disease are head
aches, dizzy spells, sleeplessness, de-
preston, indigestion and nervousness.
The blood needs a tonic.
Much misery may be avoided by the
method used by Mrs Honorious j. La.
couture of No. 70 Broad street, Mari
boro, Mass. When seen recently at her
home, Mrs. Laconture was anxious that
others might profit by her experience.
Like so many others who had infu-
enza during the epidemic" says Mrs.
Laconture, II was left in badly run
down condition, ard it seemed impos-
sible for me to regain my strength.
"The influenza didn't last long, but
the disease was so severe that 1t
Slapped almost all my strength. Ny
stomach bothered me and food soured,
causing severe pains and dizzy spells.
There was also very rapid heart ae-
ton which caused me to worry, and ]
became discouraged | was very weak
and found great difficulty in doing my
housework.
Il read about Dr. Williams Pink
Pills in newspaper and decided to
give the remedy a trial. In few weeks
there was decided improvement in my
condition My appetite was better, and
could eat without distress. Gradually
regained my strength and the unusual
heart action was corrected. ! feel bet
ter than have in long time and can
strongly recommend DIR. Williams Pink
Pills"
The after effects of influenza, as OF
common grip, are often worse than the
disease itself. After the fever is gone
the blood is left weak and strength
does not return. Then the tonic treat
ment with DIR. Williams Pink Pills is
invaluable. As the blood is restored To
richness new health courses through
the veins and the lingering poisons are
expelled

"0LD GLORY" NEVER SALUIES
incident Of Boy, Scout Jamboree In
London Apparently Misunderstood
There and In America.

There has been much comment on
this side Of the ocean as we'll as the
other because during the recent "in-

the American BOY Scouts did not dip
their flag II salute, as the scouts Of
all other countries did.
Even when ceremonies were held
IN honor Of the war dead, the. Ameri-
can flag remained steadily upright
when all other flags were dipped.
When King George reviewed the
Scouts. again our flag remained sta
tlonary while all other flags saluted
him.

BUTTONS FROM OUR RIVERS
Pearl MusseI Fisheries Are Flourish.
Ing and Very Interesting
Industry.

It should be remembered that in ad-
dition to their food value fishes are
necessary in our rivers If we are to
perpetuate the pearl button industry

twenty thousand people and yields a
product valued at more than $5,OOO,-

grows over the little mussel, until it

AS this last mentioned fish is far

ers, 1t is plain that much care should
be exercised in its maintenance. y
The mussel fishery that supplies the

actively conducted in at least twenty
states in the Mississippi rived basin.
the raw production of shells now has
a value Of about 81 900. 900. The fresh
water pearl button is now recognized
as among the cheapest durable' but
tons that can be procured. The mus
sci beds have been rapidly depleted,
chiefly because the fishermen in past
years would retain only the. very best
shells and discard as culls all shells
that we're of anNnferior grade.
Necessary action in the way Of gov
eminent legislation to protect the
mussel fisheries has been so long de-
layed that this unique and~rather
important industry IS now sure to ex-
perience considerable difficulty in per-
petuating itself.-Floyd w. Parsons,
