to send whatever correspondence
they may have from the Bureau of

eminent agency in their possession.
so that he may take such matters
up with the proper bureau with the
view of adjusting them. The gener-
ais announcement was prompted OF
: reports from various places that the
soldiers are being neglected.
The adjutant generals depart
ment," he said, with its knowledge
of the val risk insurance act and
requirements, is qualified to furnish
the soldier, sailor. marine and their
dependents with whatever informa-
ton and assistance they may re-
quire. Experience has shown that
much. of the distress and suffering
on the part Of the soldiers and their
dependents and delay in admins
trative action on their claims are
due to a lack of knowledge of the
requirements of law and regulations,
and also to a lack of knowledge of
the proper manner of filling out
blanks and furnishing the informa-
ton required in affidavits in the
prosecution of their claims"
General Gilkyson said this assist
ance will be rendered without any
charge and the war risk bureau has
a branch at Sc Park Place, Newark,

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark. glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect

 And what President Harding said the people at Plymouth applies well Alaska to Massachu- sets. However, there is this difference in the situa tion In the States the people have the power settle things at home, and the power to curb the tivities of the Bureaus. In Alaska have such power.

Cade asks for the government in behalf of settlers Kachemak Bay prospective settlers there the arguments he advances would apply to many other similar places in the Territory. If the Government would provide would be necessary to get 100 homestead CTS to locate in the Territory each year within very short time Alaska would take place the agricul- tural map Of the country
 Mr Cade speaks well within the facts when he gays farmers would constitute the backbone of the good citizenry Alaska. The farmer is attached to the soil. He stays with the country and Alaska farmers would rear children that would stay with the country. There should be many such settlements which Mr Cade pictures for Kachemak Bay in both the First and the Third Divisions of Alaska and in the Fourth Division there will be room for thousands Of farmers whenever the development will be such to provide market for their product.
