LET EVERY WORKER READ THIS

Some men need the rough Jolt of occaS-
ional adversely to remind them of the
value of their job. 1t is not smart to dis
parage ones employment. If you can
not give to it your loyalty. which is more
than perfunctory fulfillment of routine,
you ought TO make room for good and
faithful servant. The mere time server
draws down wage that he has scarcely
earned, and reviles, if he does not tu-
ally bite, the hand from which he takes
it.
There is a pride in their calling, among
the genuine and self respectful crafts
men. They do not care to let the finish
ed product leave the toiling hand until it
is as good as they can make it. How
different is their spirit from the time
serving way of those who do not care
what they turn out if only the skimped,
dishonest workmanship will elude the in
spector and deceive purchaser!
Any industrial establishment is as
strong as the loyalty of those who work
for it and as weak as their dereliction
If the output of one of those employed
is inferior, it is the whole establishment
that stands discredited. The mistake or
the wilful malfeasance of one stands not
against his name, which is hidden, but
against the place of his employment,
which is publicly known. If at a store,
or at government office, or in trolley
car, or at railway station ore employee
meets the public brusquely, the public
resentment extends beyond the lndividu-
al agent to the imDersonal institution be-
hind him. Public Ledger

Many people eat too much every
day and most eat much too much
some days. That is why Americans
suffer more than any people in the
world from Indigestion, biliousness
and constipation.
With a little thoughtfulness and
care, however, a great amount of
you'll never realize how true this is
until you become one of the several
million people of this country who
keep a box of Natures Remedy (NR
Tablets constantly on hand and use
it whenever indigestion, biliousness or
constipation threatens.
Unlike laxative purges, cathartics,
such as Gil, calomel, etc, which mere
ly force bowel action, Natures Remedy
eXerts a beneficial influence upon the
entire digestive and eliminative sys-
tem-the stomach, liver, bowels and
even the kidneys. Its purpose is to
promote vigorous and harmonious ac-
ton of all the organs that handle the
food and body waste.
That is why the results which fol-
low the use of Natures Remedy are
always a delightful surprise to those
who first try it. The action while
prompt and thorough, is as mild and
gentle and pleasant as Nature her
self, and the thorough cleansing the
body receives brings a feeling of
real relief and benefit such as no
laxative pill or cathartic ever pro-
duced for anyone.

dations of which are justice to all and
special privilege to none.
An unusual situation presents itself in
this Senate. The people of Maine have
shown their confidence in one political
party. Today by reason of that conf
dence one party has unlimited power.
The possession of power sobers right
thinking men and brings to them the
realization that power means responsible
ity. Parties are desirable and necessary
in our system of government, but they
must stand for principle and not for
profit, for service and not for selfishness.

WHERE OUR COAL GOES

Coal operators last year said emphatic
cally that only a very small part of the
coal produced in the United States is
sent abroad; again and again they declar-
ed that New En2land's fuel emergency
was not due to any special effort to sell
bituminous coal to foreign buyers.
Now comes the official figures for 1920
from the department of commerce to
prove incontrovertibly that the coal men
made Remarkable efforts to rush their
coal out of the country at high prices. :"
The figures tell the story so plainly that
only a glance is required to see the war
rant for the language here quoted from a
Washington dispatch. For instance:
In 1919 the export of bituminous coal
was very nearly 100000 tons with a
value of about S84, 600, O00 Last year
the total export nearly doubled and the
value of the shipments almost quadru-
pied. The average ton price of export
bituminous in 1919 was $4. 66, in 1920,
$8. IS. That is, the operators were selling
twice as much coal abroad and getting
nearly twice last years price for it,
To Italy in 1919 the operators sent H.
100000 tons, in 1920, 100000 10
France in 1919 the shipments were too
small in amount for separate classified
ton, seemingly; last year France took
more than 8, coo, 900 tons from the United
States. Sweden has no separate column
for 1919, but in 1920 obtained much more
than 100000 tons. The story of the
Netherlands and Switzerland is very sim
liar. Canada, of course, has always
been a huge buyer, but the amount
shipped north gained only 40 per cent.
Last year also much larger amounts than
heretofore went to Cuba, the West In
dies and South America.
New England "Anew it all the time"
but now has the figures. Most of this
coal was shipped also from great termi-
nal down at Norfolk which was built es-
pecially for the supply of bltuminous
coal to New England consumers. Dos on

REIMBURSEMENT

The business world is readjusting itself
to a lower price level and it appears that
the American people are leading in the
recovery from wartime speculation and
initiation of currency. The outlook is
reasonably encouraging although there
are many difficult business problems
which are not yet solved One favorable
omen is that most of our people realize
that real thrift comes from spending less
and saving more. Tired of hearing econ
omy preached by people. in high places,
they have turned to practicing it. Cap
ital and labor are beginning to realize
that the square deal is the only basis on
which they can work together for their
own benefit and for the general welfare

A Little Love Story

A dreamer and man of action loved a
woman. The dreamer said: II shall
write verses in her praise; they will touch
her vanity and she will love me for
them"
But the man of action said: "How old
fashioned! l shall corner the stock
market, and that will bring her."
So the dreamer wrote verses, and he
induced friend of his, who ran ten
cent magazine to print them. And the
man of action cornered something or
other and became Millionaire.
In the meantime the girl married a
man who inherited his money, and lived
happy ever after
But the dreamer was so proud of his
verses that he didn't care; and the man
of action was so busy that he didn't care.
The only one to suffer was the man she
married.

BY Doctors and
Scientists For Centuries

II am eighty three years old and I doctore1
for rheumatism ever since l came out of the
army, over fifty years ago" writes j. B. Ashelman.
"Like many Others, I spent money freely for
so-called cures and I have read about Uric Acid
until I could almost taste it. l could not sleep
nights or walk without pain; my hands were SO
sore and stiff could not hold pen. But now,
as if by magic, am again in active business and
can walk with ease or write all day with comfort.
Friends are surprised at the change"
HOW 1T HAPPENED.
Mr.. Ashelman is only one of thousands who suf-
fered for years, owing to the general belief in the
old, false theory that "Uric Acid" causes rheuma-
tsm. This erroneous belief induced him and
leglons of unfortunate men and women to take
wrong treatments. You might just as well attempt
to put out fire with oil as try to get rid of your
rheumatism, neurits and like complaints by taking
treatments supposed to drive Uric Acid out of
your blood and body. Many physicians and SCENT
lsts now know that Uric Acid never did, never can
and never will cause rheumatism; that it is nat
ura and necessary constituent Of the blood that it
is found in every new born babe; and that without
it we could not live!
These statements may seem strange to some folks
who all along have been led to believe in the old
'Urlc Acld numDug.s IL TOOK Mr.. Ashelman fifty
years to find out this truth. Heearned how to get rid
of the true cause of his rheumatism other disorders
and recover his strength from "Ihe Inner Mvs,

free by authority who devoted over twenty years
to the scientific study of this particular trouble.

$2,926,334 $3,604,91O
Gain $678,576.

Again, let it be explained that the ruling commodity prices in the two years vary.
 Here we find the Copper" group makes a $67S,576 gain on northbound shipments of supplies at the same time that the Gastineau district shows loss of $2,568,667.
 Of course we understand the req son for the complaints of Gastineau channel. It is human nature for merchants who had been in business for twenty years on the channel sold out and went to the states. Those who bought on the strength of Thane developments saw no chance to break even. Even the anti newspapers suf- fered an eclipse at this district One left and two remain. The three were the mouthpieces of the various antis whether Riggs or Wickersham or Bellaine or someone else. But what have they accomplished?
 While the section at Gastineau channel has been hard hit and there. SIie very largely absorbs the loss in population it's people have seen the Copper" developers across the gulf grow and prosper and so Gastineau channel started the cry of foul play. It is not the cry of the people but only of a few disgruntled ones.
 At no time in the history of Gas tneau channel was progress or de, Velopment hindered or harmed by any steamship. To the contrary those places were built up under a pub Mshed tariff of not more than $4 per ton and there is a record of a devel. Oping rate of $1.55 a ton for 1,050 miles.
 With oil at $255 per barrel and supplies and labor out of all reason, what government independent or ''jitney" pirate would dare enter the trade?
 These are the things Senator Cum mtns should know or have pointed out to him. Juneau is 1,O50 miles from Seattle, Cordova 1900, Anchor age 1900, Nome 2,30O They must all be reached by water, for ever and a day. Who is to bear the operat- ing loss? Only the copper makes it possible for the Copper" line to thrive. And with copper selling at from between lie and 15c per pound, that company months ago would have been fully justified in disseminating service, yet it remained. Who then would have carried the burden if it

1920 1t fell to $6,41O,0O5. Grasp that the Copper" ships didn't operate on the Yukon. But if they did, the Yukon operators would be glad to pay twice the freight rates of today if 1t would assure the return of gold min ing on the old scale.
 Unless some new tonnage is de- veloped, what can the Yukon give the railroad now that its gold Is de- clining each year?
 To date the possible future rail road tonnage is represented only in the supplies going in and less than 13,O00 tons per year up river and down river Is about what the river boats have hauled each year recently.
 Let a Mallet locomotive get busy and see how many trips would be re- quired to haul 13,0O0 tons from An chorage or Seward to Fairbanks.
 Twenty years ago, in one summer, 100000 tons of freight were unloaded on the Nome beach. This summer not a twentieth of that amount will be unloaded. Why? There and in the interior gold glacers are actually worked out. You cannot replace that gold and thousand steamships offer ing free passage and free freight to Nome would not improve that situa ton.
 The gold in certain localities has

had withdrawn? Who would move the freight or the passengers?
 Supposing the copper mines had discontinued producing ore which made tonnage and earnings for the steamship lines does it not logically follow that with earnings on ore cut off the steamship lines would be obliged to either discontinue operat- ing or increase the rates on other business to make up for the loss of earnings on ore
 The customs report of Alaska adroitly aggregates the imports of Cordoya, the copper port, and incl. dentally the leading port on total valuations in Alaska, from those un- loaded at Cordova, and shipped by the Copper" railroad to the in terior. This greatly reduces the Cor dova total sz and makes Anchorage loom large on account of railroad supplies and equipment sent in.
 The value of merchandise shipped to Cordova as credited by the 1920 report was but $1,970,241.
 However, the total for Cordova plus that unloaded at Cordova and shipped by the Copper" road was $3,O93,7 ,726, a great difference
 Latouche and Katalla are very near Cordova and at these three ports the Copper" people concen- trate their efforts.
 Alaska's total commerce, 1920, was $108,329,895, and that made possible by or actually produced by the Cop, per- group was $17951, ,99O, or about 16R per cent of the whole. Ketchi- kan figures iu the report as the sec, ond port in valuation of northbound merchandise received, but adding Ketchikan fish exports to that total the grand totals falls below the grand total of Cordova.
 Anchorage figures as first port in Alaska as to northbound shipments, but as it has practically no exports 1t is far below Cordova. The latter has been first port in grand total for many years but the fact is not, nor has 1t ever been, brought out in GUS toms reports.
 The success of industrial develop ment at Cordova cannot be used as an argument that it is the only sec- tion prospering and that 1t is there fore more generously helped by the copper mine owners to the detriment of any other section.
 Not so. Tn presence of the copper called for railroad and a steam ship line and at the same time actual ly built up Cordova. The mine en- ploys 1,200 men and the steamships and railroad many more. All classes of people on the route participate In the benefits and even at Seattle these interests expended last year $5,500,. 900 in wages, supplies, equipment and OIhOA LhHl5o.

ness who figured in the 1910 census It is not the place to discuss the reason but it helped decrease the total and the steamship situation had no con nection.
 Senator Cummins says his infor- mant told him that the steamships operating to Alaska are owned by cop- per companies. That is one-third true in 1921, for most of the steamships deserted Alaska when the pickings became scarce and left the pioneers to carry the burden. In pre-war times it was about one-fifth to one-tenth true. Here are the facts as to steamships operating:
 In 1920 the Alaska Steamship Co., was operating in Alaska as is had since the days of the Klondike, and was transporting the bulk of the copper, which tonnage, by the way, was large ly responsible for the maintenance of this company's service, which in turn meant service to the people of the ter ritory. But two large companies, not related to copper, also operated the Canadian Pacific and the Admiral Line.
 From 1920 and up to the war twelve different companies had been operat- ing a regular service, to say nothing of ''jitney" steamers. What caused the steamships to with.

first became apparent in the same year.
 Thus we find that the mining fail ures are responsible to a large extent for losses.
 Douglas. and Treadwell in 1921 are almost dead while Juneau and Thane are away below former years in popu- Iatiop.
 Let us compare the showing at the four places on Gastineau channel with four places on. Prince William sound where the "coppe" operators have their chief properties. This is illumi- mating. It shows in value of supplies sent north.
