part, lastly Miss Reckwith, but, when
the blindfold was taken off her eyes,
she found she had not pinned the
donkey's tail on the curtain, but on
a huge basket filled with gifts from
her friends here. Nothing need be
said at this time about the good
work she has accomplished while

INDIA NOW READY TO GET PROHIBITION

CALCUTTA, Jan. S-William E. (PussyfooD Johnson, American prohi- bition worker, told the members of the Rotary Club here that his impression after an extensive tour of the country that India is more ripe for prohibition than American was five years ago.
 MT Johnson was the principal guest of the club at it's tiffin meeting where he was subject to good natured bom- bardment of questions:
 Describing his reception in India which has been an enthusiastic one, Mr Johnson said he had been well comed because he represented a cru sade that appealed to the people of India
 "In the district have visited in the pas tfew weeks" he said, q have been entertained by every class, from the Viceroy and the native princes down wards, and only on a single occasion at Patan, several days ago, did I hear an Indian stand up and oppose prohi- bition Tt was at Patan, that wit messed remarkable demonstration in support of a dry India, great crowd of nearly five thousand at the request of the chairman, voting on the ques- tion by show of the hands. So far as could see, every hand in the audi ence and in some instances both were raised immediately in favor of prohi bition and not a solitary hand against
 q might mention also that the won derful gathering we had in the thea 1 tre at Baroda with an audience oi more than three thousand at which a speaker was loudly hissed for refer ence to enon-cooperation, but cheered with wild enthusiasm a few minutes later when he declared that the tax payers of India would be only too will ling to meet the additional taxation l that may be necessary after prohibi tion."
 q would like to say" he concluded "that I have not met single British official who has not gone opt of the way to be kind to me-"

Be rid of that ache

If you are a sufferer with lame back, backache, dizziness, nervousness, and kidney disorders, why don't you try the remedy that your neighbors re- commend? Ask your neighbor?
 J. w. Holman, retired police judge, Richmond Ave, Dayton, Washington, says: Tt seemed as though every time I caught cold 1t settled in my kid neys and caused lame back. At times when I had an attack, I could hardly get out of chair because of the sev- ere pains in the samll of my back. The kidney secretions passed too often and caused me to get up nights. I suf- fered from pains in the back of my head.
 Doan's Kidney Pills soon drove the pain out of my back and made my kidneys act like clockwork"
 Price 60 cents at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Holman had. Foster-Milburn Co.,. Mfrs, Buffalo, NY.

the summer time to take advantage of the lower rate through Anchorage. The interest on the money which they would be forced to put into a years stock would a great deal more than off set what they would save by shipping through Anchorage.
 One point that Mr. Mears tried to make quite clear was that the coal from the Matanuska fields would not come out by way of Seward. He ex- plained that it would be necessary to get the coal out at the cheapest possi- ble cost in order to compete with the coal in the States. This means that the coal would be brought on down grade to Anchorage and loaded on the colliers there MT Mears just return ed from trip to the coal fields and he says that he was informed by Com mander Bowling that they and two millions of tons of good coal blocked out and developed in the Coal River beds. This coal is number Al black. smith coal and there is a ready mar

 After centuries of neglect, China Is spending a quarter of million dol lars in forestry work, planting over a thousand nurseries, reforesting about one hundred thousand acres of useless land and producing over one hundred million young trees.
 Americas help In this splendid Chi nese development is through educa- tional channels, rather than by dona- tens of money.
 There are at work Chinese forestry graduates of Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Syracuse and Michigan. Yale leads the number ty at least six men.

 In addressing those present MT. Mears, stated further, You must not forget that the greater the interior country becomes the greater will be the benefit to Seward. In order for the interior to develop one of the things that must be accomplished is the get ting of coal of the Matanuska fields to market. This must be done as cheap ly as possible. The Lord made the wa ter route nearly to the coal fields by means of Cooks Inlet There is noth- ing to be done but ot make use of it. By this route coal can be placed on the market in Seattle in competition to coal from other fields. The coal may not come through Seward but you cannot help but be benefited by the marketing of the coal regardless of how it is shipped"
 Col. Mears sailed on the North western for Seattle, and vii lbe re- turning in the near future. At which time more definite information regard ing through freight rate will be ob- tainable.
