BERL|N'S BEST DRESSERS ARE
 NOW WEARING AMERICAN FACES

BERLIN, Feb. 26. = What is known as the American sport face" is all the rage these days among the young men of Berlin. As conse- quence of the fad, whiskers and even the Kaiser mustache,' so popular prior to tho war, has been pushed off the boards.
 Many young Germans wear a kind of natty Charley Chaplin" adorn- ment on their upper lip. and this is known as American too, but the ma jol'ity of the fashionably dressed young men in the streets and cafes are smooth shaven. Many of them, % the barbers say, shave the first thing in the morning and again late in the day. before starting out for the evening.
 Among the workingmen and ccr- tain old timers still in the army or government service q modified "Kais- CTS mustache' continues to Ja worn. There was a time here when nearly all of the old rank officers wore upright mustaches with care fully waxed ends which reached nearly to their eyes. But the mus tache of the militaristic points, in which the individual took marvellous pride, is entirely out of date.
 Whiskers, gencraly speaking, are unpopular excepting in old fash toned circles where some of the aged men continue to wear boards, sip beer daily in their favorite haunts Of many years, and smoke the long stemmed "Dutchman's" pipe which years ago was all the go among Ger mans in the United States.

Foreign Walters Are
 Now Flooding London

LONDON. Feb 26-The British waiter is gradually disappearing. and foreigners are taking his place. This is particularly noticeable in Soho and some of the leading West End restaurants which are managed by Italians, Greeks and Polish Jews who prefer walters of their own race rather than the Englishman.
 During the war Soho became al most English in character, but of late the foreign lnvasion has changed conditions. Foreign managers natur- ally help their own countrymen, but another reason found in the fact that foreigners will work for con sidera!bly less money than the aver. age Engashman. There are also Waiter agencies which find jobs for the foreigner in the smaller "off street" restaurants and collect high fees from the applicant as well as take a proportion of hls weekly earn ings. If these are not paid regu larly their employers are informed and the waiter loses his job.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they are no longer source of irritation. thus often relieving bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure: makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink. which every one should take now and then tc help keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this; also keep up thu water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of youl kidney trouble and backache.

 When expanding our service to include freight, we expect to make agreements with railroad for inter- changing freight along the route. We plan to have tracked docks so freight cars can be pulled aboard our boats to be 1rnloadcd and reloaded. Sey- eral railroads already have given us favorable expressions on tho sugges- tion"

FISHERIES LAWS
 BRING MOST OF
 ALASKA REVENUE
Fish Industries Turn $l ,850,- 1850 to Treasury in Six
 and One Half Years.

In the six and one-half years from July 1, 1916, to December 31, 1922 revenues accruing to the Territory from taxes on various branches of the fisheries industry were almos; three times as large as that from any other industry, according to the official audit report Of the Territorial Treasury. Revenues from the fisher. ies of all kinds amounted in that peliiod to $1,S50, ,4SS.30.
 Second as a revenue producer is the mining industry which. during the same period, turned into the Ter ritorial treasury the sum of $661.- 694.75. The school poll tax was in third place, revenue from it amount ing to $349,971.61. Income taxes from railways brought in s151 1,140.63 and from the National Forests was re- ceived S134,22421. Of the last named sum. the Tongass Forest returns were $119, ,45013 and the Chugach, $14,7740S. Corporation fees in the Secretary's office contributed during the audit period almost $65,000, ships and shipping $56,12144
 The fur tax law passed by the 1921 legislature proved to be reve- nue producer of some import, the total for the biennium being $42.- 145.75. Most of that amount was col lected in 1922, when receipts under the act totaled $40.5S1.1S, as com pared to $1,564.57 for the first year operations of the law.
 The First and Third Divisions con tribute virtually all of the fisheries taxes. according to the audit, which gives the following tabular state ment:
