PRESIDENT MAY TAKE TRIP
TO ALASKA THIS SUMMER

President Harding, if the press OF
official duties permits, may visit
Alaska early this summer, accom-.
panied by Secretary of the Interior
Albert B. Fall.
1t was learned recently that the
president has trip to the great ter
ritory in mind, in order to make a
personal study of conditions there,
and possibilities for future develop
ment
Secretary Fall, it as stated, has de-
cided to go to Alaska this summer to
make survey Of the territory, which
is administered by Lis department.
He is trying to obtain the presidents
agreement to join him.
This will depend largely upon
whether congress, which convenes on
April II, will have important legisla-
ton well in hand by the early sum
mer, in which event it is very prob
able that the president will make the
Alaskan trip, which will require
about six weeks.-Salt Lake Tribune.

them to raise anything from tropical
fruits up to the products of the
temperate zone.
If America thinks she can legislate
against the products of Australia and
keep them out, she has lot of
thinking to do yet. America had
much better be thinking along lines
o. production in her factories with
the idea of loading the Australian
VI lack with factory products and
thereby keeping up the balance of
trade benefitting them as we'll as our
selves by the exchange. Australia is
not manufacturing many automo-
biles; it is not manufacturing much
farming machinery; it can buy cars
and tractors and trucks from the
United States in exchange for it's
agricultural products and both
countries be greatly benefited.
But the American farmer is the
one that is shouting for protection
now and he must either find protec-
ton or he must 60 to producing
something which the Australians can
use in exchange for the products
they ship to us. Australia has no
hcgs, to speak Of: American farmers
might raise hogs to ship to Australia
to start them into business. They
could not hope to furnish them pork
permanently altho they might do
that for time. The American
farmer might breed up fine cattle to
ship to Australia for breeding pur-
poses there. 1t might breed fine
horses for the same purpose and get
fancy prices for all Of them, thereby
,benefitting the Australian as we'll as
himself. There must be a great
many products which we could raise
on our American farms to sell to the
Australians for a while. Australia
has plenty of coal and plenty of iron
and copper and other minerals. For
= time it led the world in, gold pro-
duction, but 1t has not the foundries
and factories and will not be in the
manufacturing game to any consider
able extent until the population is
vastly multiplied. The total popula-
ticn Of. Australia now is only little
over. Ave million and it has suffered
3 terrible loss during the world war.
Australia cannot compete with us in
for generations to
come, but with its tractors to culti-
vate its great plains; with its herds
men to handle the livestock on the
plan which they follow there; with /
Its railroads and easy shipping facil-l
tiles, 1t can produce agricultural pro-
ducts and float them over to
America and sell them cheaper than
We can produce them and no reason

out; they will come In anyway. The

growers are organizing and pooling
their interests to go to the European
organized buyers with proposition
from organized sellers. But with
all those things working well,
will cut a big figure as she
increases her wheat production
which she is doing from year to year.
America needs to do some sober
thinking and adjusting itself to get
into the trade Of the world and hold
her own. For all Idahoans to buy a

every person in each Of the states
would buy pound of wool and then
study the wool question along with
these other agricultural problems, It
will give them vision that will en-

work on educational lines, not be-
cause the pound of wool affects the

CLEANING OIL PAINTINGS

To clean an oil painting wash the
surface gently with clear, warm
water, using a soft cloth or fine
sponge, let dry, and rub gently with
a soft flannel cloth moistened with
pure olive oil. The water softens
the accumulted smoke, dust and dirt,
and the oil assists in wiping it away.

PUT STOMACH IN.
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From An
Excess Of Hydrochlorie Acid

Undigested food delayed In the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hy-
per-acidity, meaning. there is an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete d.
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much: like garbage sours in
a can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like toy
balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas.
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, fatulence, water brash or nau-
sea.
He tells us to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
Of water before breakfast and drink
while it is effervescing and further
more, to continue this for week.
While relief follows the first dose, it
is important to neutralize the acidity,
remove the gas making mass. start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote free flow of pure di-
gestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia
and sodium phosphate. This HARM
less salts is used by thousands of
people for stomach trouble with ex-
cellent results.--Adv.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She Mixed Sulphur With 1t to Re-
store Color, Gloss, Youthfuiness

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added. will
turn gray, sTeaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
few applications will prove a rev.
elation if your hair is fading, streak
ed or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for USE This is the old time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared, and, after another appli-
cation or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark. glossy, soft and lux
uriant.-Adv.

For five years my stomach was
terribly disordered and kept me in
terrible pain and distress. Why, at
times it was just almost unbearable.
I had to live on the lightest kind OF
a diet, and even this caused me to
bloat and be in misery. My heart
palpitated frightfully. and breathing
was very difficult for me. I couldn't
rest night or day, and I was SO weak

CALLING FOR CHARITY

Just two comprehensive demands
income tax requirements and charity
appeals, would seem to be sufficient
to command every possible surplus
penny, not only from the. wealth of
the plutocrats Of our country. but
from every Private individual who
has enough Of an earning capacity to
allow him to make his own way
financially.
We have had many and varied ap-
peals. and have responded nobly
throughout the country to each and
every one; the cry for starving Ar
menian children was heard and now
Mr.. Hoover can bid us all rejoice
that his 100000 children will have
a chance to be strong men and wom-
en-. Those interested IN medicine
and science are hearkening to the
call of Madame Curie who needs
funds to purchase a gram of radium,
in order to carry on her researches in
the benefit of humanity. Mr.. Thomas
Lamont urges, and is obtaining,
money to- buy food for starving mil
lions Of Chinese. And now, the
Massachusetts, Committee for Irish
Relief has received a cable from the
Quaker Unit, suggesting that the
campaign which is under way to con-
tribute dollars to save ireland from
starvation, increase it's figures from
ten millions originally requested to
thirty millions
The message states that unless
help is Immediately sent to these
people there will be a great deal of
starvation and death during the com
ing year. The people of Dublin,
Belfast and Cork and the larger
cities are reported to be in the throes
OF the utmost poverty, and the "fu-
ture promises but little unless help
comes from America" So doubtless,
rich and poor alike will continue to
dig down into those pockets, which
the people across the water seem to
think the source of an inexhaustible
supply of gold. It's the hearts of the
Americans, their boundless generos-
lty, fellow feeling and imaginative
sympathy that are the initial i'm
pulses making funds for relief work
start and swell to the enormous fig
ures so confidently attained.
