IF BACK HURTS
 BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush your kidneys occasionally if you eat meat
 regularly.

No man or woman wnO eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness. constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorder come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of pas sage or attended by sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable phar- macy and take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia aud has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stfmu- late them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so 1t no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes delightful effer- yescent lithia-water dring which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoid ing serious kidney complications.

 Considering Appointment
 "I made no appointments during my absence from Juneau and have not had time to give this matter any serious consideration, said Governor Bone this morning. He added that he did not know yet just how many there are 10 be made. He began studying the subject this morning and expected to have some announce mants to make before a great time.
 He said that he believed the Fed eral appointments already made in the Territory, on the whole, would be generally satisfactory. Judge T NJ. Reed, he said, is very fine gen tleman and capable man who would make an efficient judge He expects Major. Beaumont to make a very ac- ceptable marshal and to win many friends here in his office
 As far as he was able to ascertain, the appointment of Cecil H. Clegg as judge in the Fourth Division, will give general satisfaction. The ap- pointment of Gilbert D. Stevens as marshal of the same division, he said. was a personal appointment of the President The appointment of E. E. Ritchie as judge of the Third Division, he said. was greeted with much satisfaction there, pleasing eveFybne Relative to other appoint ments to be made. he expects Harvey Sullivan to be nominated for marshal in the Third. c, J Loinea. judge, and Eyed lFfs aison, U. s. ,iAttor9ey, in this division s.!The creation Of th : office of prohibition enforcement di rector for Alaska, he said, has also been proposed and an appointment for such an office is probable Just who the probable appointee would be, he did not say.

GUS NORD MOURNS ,s. DEATH OF CAPTAIN
 HOBBY OF ALASKA

Capt. Gus Nord, of the steamer Northwestern. is deeply grieved at the death of Capt. Harry Fobey master of the steamer Alaska and also the less of the steamer which was wrecked last Saturday night of the California coast. Capt. Nord also spoke a high tribute for Chief Steward Chaples.Dean, who is known by hundreds of Alaskans and he was on the Alaska during the years operated to Southeastern and South western Alaska ports.
 Capt. Nord considered the Alaska his ocean home for he was master of that vessel for over two years and only month ago changed com mands with Capt. Hobey.
 Tt is hard to account for the loss of the Alaska" said Capt. Nord last night Capt. Hobey was a most careful navigator but he was too far in-shore and possibly realized his position just too late. Travellers have no idea of the trials of a mas ter of a steamer. For seven trips last winter l never saw the shore on account of the fog. I would leave Astoria, run from 20 to 25 miles out to sea, where there is plenty of room and no reefs, then head for the south until 1 was in a positi to pick up Point Reyes then by soundings, find my way into Golden Gate. l am sorry for the loss of the Alaska and especially sorry that any lives were lost"

MOOSE LODGE

Pleasant Dance Given Satur. day Night Spokane Pas

Special Corresponderce.)

HAYNES, Aug 9-One of the fea- lures of the social year at Haines was the dance given here by the Moose Lodge at A. B. Hall Saturday night in honor of the soldier mem. bers of the lodge who are soon to leave Fort William H. Seward for the South.
 The dance itself was pronounced one of the most pleasant events ever held in Haines Those promoting the affair had extended an invitation to the passengers and crew of the steamer Spokane to be present. The invitation was sent by cable and all on board arrived at the hall soon after the vessel arrived in port
 With the addition of so many guests the capacity of the hall was taxed to the very limit The hall was decorated with the Stars and Stripes being stretched across it so that all the dancers were beneath its folds
 Those on the Spokane were loud in their praise of their treatment and said that they would carry away from the North with them warm place in their hearts for Haines where they were so royalty enter tained by the Moose. Dancing con tinued until 1 o'clock in the morning
