TRAFFIC HEAVY IN ALASKA.
Uncle sam Finds 1t Necessary to En-
large His Rail Facilities.

Anchorage, Alaska, Nov. 15.-Uncie
Sam is finding the railroad business
good on his new AlaskT~1ine which
runs from tidewater to Seward and
Anchorage. across the mountains to
Fairbanks and Nanana, on the ter
rftory's interior river system.
Traffic has been so heavy on the
line that it has been necessary to add
more Pullman sleeping coaches and
baggage cars At present the road Is
operating thirty passenger coaches,
ZIG freight cars and 2S6 cars of mis-
ceIlaneous nature, making total of
7s2 cars
In addition to the railroad. the gov
eminent also is operating two river
transports to connect with the lower
river points with the road. These
boats will connect with mosquito
fleets operating on the smaller rivers
of the interior and will serve to hook
up the entire section in one great
TRANSPORTATION system.
Coal is one of the big items on the
freights bills on this transportation
system The coal is taken from the
mines along the railroad and sent to all
parts of the interior by rail and boat.
With a good supply of coal at rea-
sonab.e prices it will be possible to
mine large areas of frozen ground
which. it is believed, contain gold
bearing graveis. Geological survey

The "MOTHER OF MEDICINE"

Isis. the Queen and afterwards the
Goddess, was called the Mother of
Medicine" In ancient Egypt, CEN
turtles before Christ, women were
skilled in medicine. They knew the
great value of medicinal plants.
Hippocrates, the Father of Medi-
cine,' many centuries later, knew less
of the merit of vegetable drugs than
did the women of ancient times.
Lydia z. Pinkham, nearly fifty
years ago, gave to women her Vege-
table Compound, now known every
where as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound. This is a womans
medicine for woman's ailments, pre-
pared from medicinal plants.-Adv.

For never weakling wears freckles and tan.
