ONCE UPON A TINE
THERE WE2E NO DOCTORSi
The Doctor Was Net Much Needed Uutl Fohs
Began to Break Nature's LAVA


Doctors Preach Preveatien l. Better Than Cure.
Ninety per cent of all disease is
preventable, so doctors say. Eat
simple food, exercise wisely, sleep
sufficiently, and-what is vitality i'm
portant-make sure of the daily,
regular, thorough elimination of
body waste, and the chances are nine
to one that you will keep well, work
efficiently and enjoy life. Bowel
elimination of food and tissue waste
Is aIl-important. But in case of IT.
regularity, disordered or imperfect
action do not make the common mis-
take of taking harsh, violently acting
medicines, with the idea of forcing
the bowels to act. Nature believes
in mild methods. She responds best
to persuasion
So in selecting simple remedy to
regulate and assure proper boWEi
action, you should not use harsh OF
violently acting remedies, no matter
how much has been claimed for
them. You should choose some we'll
known, time tested, trial proven
remedy, that has made its reputation
by being used for many years, by
all sorts OF people, all over the world
Take Beecham's Pills for example
Beecham's is household word, has
been for many generations Beech
ans Pills is q household remedy.
has been for over half century. People
not only take Beecham's but recon
mend Beecham's to their friends
Their use is handed down from
father to son or from mother to
daughter, from one generation K
another. Did you ever hear any
complaint or criticism of Beecham s?
Isn't that pretty powerful endorse
ment of their worth Druggist;

popularity. The episodes vary con-
siderably in tone and spirit. Some
of them, like The Kid and the Cam
ell" are highly laughable; some like
Contempt of Court" are deeply
serious; and others, like Beyond a
Reasonable Doubt" are rather
humorous revelations as to the ways
OF judges and juries.
~The Invisible Censor-Ever
since the publication of Horizons, !"
Francis Hackett has been acknowl-
edged one of the foremost American
critics. In THE Invisible Censor, "
tB- W. Huebsch, Inc), Mr.. Hackett,
VINO Is, by the way, an editor of the
New Republic, discusses people as
widely diverse as Billy Sunday
ano Maxim Gorky; and roams from
chicago to New York, and from
Newport to Kerry. His "Okura
Sees Newport" is a masterpiece of
satire. Mr.. Hackett's inestimable
possession, a point of view, as H.
l.. Mencken once said in connection
with his writings, shows itself ex-
ceptionally well in each article in
the new volume.
"MOdeTn Democracieso- Modern
Democracies" by James Vincent
Bryce (The MacMillen companyl. is
Lord Bryce's most important work
since The American Common
wealth" AS in that work he made
the finest and most sympathetic
study of our form of government,
so in his new book, he makes a sim
liar study based on facts and the
personal observations of many
years of the democracies in the
world at large. The work is divid-
ed into three parts. Part l deals
with the elements of all democra-
cies, education, public opinion, the
press, etc. Part ii is concerned
with the study of actual democracies
in their working, especially the six
great democracies in the modern
world. Part III contains the au-
thor's own conclusions as to the
present and future of democratic
government.

ALASKA OIL HIGH GRADE AND. PLENTY

"Ol development in Alaska is not only the biggest thing in the territory: but it is a bigger thing than anything in the United States today" said W. w French. who is widey iin:erasted in iol claims to the westward. and who passed through Juneau on the Admiral Watson recently.
 "The cry of the whole country is for oil and more oil. California alone, ono of the biggest oil producting states consumes herself 16ae more oil than sfse produces. l have investigated oil conditions in that's tate and have talk cd with oil men from Texas and the east, and I know that oil is the best paying proposition before us today. Mining men. lumbermen. capitalists from every field are turning to oil as a new field for profitable investment, and they are looking 70 the possibiii- ties of Alahka and future development
 There are oil structures all over Alaska. formation known to contain oil in large quantities. and I am atis- fled that there are vast tracts of oil formation no tyet recognized. To the westward. and particularly in the vi cinity of Cold Bay. thei indications are near the surface. have broken large cakes of almost pure paraffin from .he edges of ponds and creeks. and it is not at all uncommon to find oil mpregnated soil that can be placed in the stove and burned. The oil found in this region is of a very high grade, even higher than that found in Penn syivania- and being similar In having a paraffin base. It has very high per cent of gasoline and the lirhter oils.
 With the present laws releasing oil lands for development. look for work to proceed with rapid strides. Num- er'ous claims have been filed and per- mlts have already commenced to re- turn from Washington. There will be large poying wells in full operation this summer. The ease with which oil in this region may be brought to market is the bigges. advantage of this district. The harbor in the Cook In- let country are the finest in the world. and pipe lines of 20 miles in length will bring oil to tankers in deep water. Furthermore we are located in a position with every shore bordering on the Pacific as a market. {"

 ''The committee. after investigation and study of the transportation proh lesn. has arrived at the conclusion that relief from the present transpor .ation difficulties of Alaska, and espec ially those of Nome. must come thru federal or territorial aid in transpor- tation both by water and land.
 Efforts 10 secure such territorial and national assi istanc are being made at present thru bills and memorials Introduced in the Alaska legislature.
 Realizing the local transportation and lighterage situation the committee begs to report that it has been in formed hv the local manager of the Alaska Lighterage and Commercial Company that he is advised to inform the Chamber of Commerca and the cit lens of Nome that the company has definitely decided not to operate dur ing the coming open season and is
