sium fund, and also transacted much business. The meeting passed a res olution condemning the Carlisle can nery in the Yukon river, and appoint ed committee to get in touch with the Fisheries department with a view to having the cannery removed so that fish can get up the river to the Indian villages. Since the establish ment of the cannery many of the na- tives and whites have been forced to kill their dogs as no fish could be se- cured to feed them.
 Southeastern Alaska papers state that so far the salmon run has been failure, and that if the run does not start soon many of the larger plants will shut down without trying to finish the season. The T. P. Harris plant at Hoonah is the only cannery which has made anything like a nor nal pack. The Heonah Packing Go. took 80,000 fish in their trap in Gull cove in three days but others are not getting anything like normal pack Many fishermen have left with their boats for the states. Most of the fish caught are pinks and chums.
 The Petersburg Report claims that many jokes have been played on Alaska by the present administration. some funny and others serious but the greatest joke perpetuated for some time was when the census was taken in the dead of winter with the most of Alaska's population in the states. The paper claims that Alaska did not get credit for one-fourth of her population. Petersburg was cred ited with 880 persons, and the paper claims that anyone in town knows that there are at least twice that number. It claims that now all of the houses are full and that resi- dences cannot be secured for all.

DOCTORS find
REMEDY FOR
COLDS AND FLU
Calotabs, the New Nausealess
Calomel Tablets, Cut Short
Colds and May Prevent Flu
by Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from ex-
perience, during the epidemic Of in
fluenza, that one of the most important
factors in the prevention Of flu and
pneumonia is to keep the liver active
so that the digestive organs may be in
perfect working order and the system
thereby enabled to throw off colds,
check sore threats, and resist serious
complications, For this purpose they
have found that the new nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs, are far
more effective even than the old style
calomel, which was formerly the uni
versal favorite, as Calotabs do not
weaken the patient. nor interfere with
the appetite aud digestion.
At the first sign of a cold or sore
throat doctors recommend one Gallo
tab at bed time with a swallow Of
water-that's all No salts, no nausea
nor the slightest interference with your
diet, pleasure, or work Next morning
you wake up feeling fine, your liver
is active, and your appetite is keen for
a good breakfast.
For your protection Calotabs are sold
only in original sealed packages, price
thirty-five cents. All druggists recon-
mend and guarantee NCalotabs. Your
money back If you are not delighted

we find that in some districts Il
