NEW ATTRACTION FOR SKAG- WAY; OPEN AIR PARK OPEN
 ED BY KELLER BROTHERS

Keller Brothers have made ar engagements with Herman Grimm for the use of the beautiful park that Mir. Grimm started a very few years ago. While ingaged in business here MT. Grimm spaced off a lot fifty by fifty feet in dimensions and planted it to Balm of Gilead trees and hop vines. Shortly after this MT. Grimm moved to Seward and the park was left to shift for itself.
 The result shows that Alaska is second to no other section in climate and growing possibilities as the trees flourished and are now from twenty to thirty feet in height and the arbors constructed by Mir. Grimm are covered with hop vines as well as the fences and side walls of the buildings.
 The park is a veritable bower of venture and beauty and feeling that tAG PtOplS sHOuiu AdNS tAS au't tHL- age of this lovely spot the Keller Brothers made the deal whereby they may use it along with their business at the park adjoining their big store at the rear.
 The trees have all been pruned and the vines trained up in orderly man ner and the underbrush and grass trimmed out, making the place neat and comfortable.
 A small dancing floor has been put in position and a stage for the orchestra which consists of a Labor atOry Model of the Unsurpassed Edi- son photograph and drums and traps put up.
 The arbors are fitted with tables and chairs where ice cream in it's multitudious forms as well as soda water and soft drinks will be dis pensed during favorable weather.
 While not formally opened the park was pre-empted last night by the Skagway young people who had just returned from the south and dancing was indulged for several hours.
 Many expressions of pleasure have been heard over the opening of this amusement place and the formal op- ening takes place next week.

KEEP YOUNG

People with bad backs and week kid neys are apt to feel old at sixty. Many old folks say Doap's Kidney Pills help them keep young. Here's q Convincing case:
 J. P. Howe, prop. of general store, 152 Water St. Santa Cruz, Calif., says: 'I hanen't needed a kidney medicine for the past two years, as have had no trouble since last us- ing Doan's Kidney Pills. It was overlifting that affected my kidneys. had severe pain in the lower part of my back, but the main trouble was with my kidneys. They didn't act properly. The secretions burned and there was inflammation in my bladder. l had tried all known kid ney medicines, but they did me no good. Doan's Kidney Pills did the work for ne. I have been entirely free from kidney and bladder trou- ble for the past two years" ((State- ment given February 19, 1916).
 On December 1, 1919, MT. Howe said: q never miss a chance to rec ommend Doan's Kidney Pills to any one I hear speak of kidney trouble. I know from experience, there is nothing better for this trouble"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mir. Howe had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Mfrs, Buffalo, N. Y.

Girls! That Derwillo
 Complexion is a \ s'Stay There" Complexion

So why waste time on face powder that comes off as fast as you put it on when you can use derwillo, the sstay there'' beautifier? Hot weather
 or precipitation does not affect it and
 when applied properly it's use cannot
 be detected. It gives the skin that youthful baby like softness and rosy tint avery normal woman craves. Just make this test: Some warm day use your regular face powder, time it by your watch and see how long it atays on. Then under exactly the game conditions use derwillo and note the difference. It not only stays on longer, but 1t looks more natural. Compare it with any beautifier or powder you have ever used and you will need no argument to convince you that there is nothing as satis- factory as derwillo. Try 1t when you go bathing and see how much better Is stays on than any face pow der regardless of the price No other beautifier or face powder can Eivs you more attractive appearance
 Derwillo is becoming regular fac everywhere and over one million girls erence to everything else. Actresses use more face powder than any othel
 class and they know how harmful some powders are. For that reason
 many of them now use derwillo. The,

flcial to any skin and instantly inn parts that exquisite loveliness so much desired. That's why derwillo users have such healthy, smooth, beautiful complexions. Some of the prominent actresses using derwillo are Dorothy Dalton. Mitzi. Louise Glaum. Viola Dana, Anna O. Nilsson. Louise Huff, Ruth Roland and scores of others. If you use derwillo once you will become just as enthusiastic as they are and never be without it. Another important thing to remember is that no other beautifier is sold un- der the same guarantee If you don't like derWillo. the store from whom you made your purchase will gladly refund your money. This liberal guarantee speaks volumes for thu satisfaction it gives. You can gel derwillo at the toilet counters of all department stores and up-to- date druggists everywhere. If they should happen to be out they will be glad tt

GRANNY FOX TELLS PoRKY A AA. STORY

little tale which isn't true,
 And eager ears to heed it.
 Means trouble starts right there to
 brew.
 With tattle- tales to feed 1t.
 No one knows how true this is bet ter than does old Granny Fox. And no one knows better than she how to make trouble for other people by starting little untrue stories. You see she learned long ago how fast a mean little tale will travel once it has been started, and so when there is some one with whom she is afraid to fight honestly she uses these little untrue tales instead of claws and teeth. and often they hurt great deal worse than claws or teeth ever could.
 No you would think that by this time all the little meadow and forest people would have found old Granny Fox out, and that they wouldn't be- leve her stories. But the truth is, most people are very apt to believe unpleasant things about other people without taking the trouble to find out if they are true, and old Granny Fox knows this. Besides, she is smart enough to tell these little trouble making, untrue stories as if she had heard them from some one else. So, of course. some one else gets the blame for starting them. oh. Granny Fox is smart and sly! Yes, siree! She certainly is smart and sly.
 When Granny heard that Old Man Coyote had come to live on the Green Meadows she knew right away that he belonged to the Wolf family and so was too big and strong for her te fight. But If she couldn't drive hin away with her teeth and claws per haps she could make SO much trouble for him that he would go away.

He says that this stranger. old Man Coyote, who has come to the Green Meadows and the Green Forest. has been boast ing that he is afraid of nobody, but everybody is afraid of him. When somebody asked him if you were afraid of him he said that you climbed the highest tree vou could find if you but saw his shadow. Of course. don't believe 1t, because I know that you are not afraid of anybody. But other people believe it. and they do say that Old Man Coyote is braggine
