According to Robert Sommers, su- perintendent of the Alaska Road commission who arrived at Nome on the first trip of the Victoria, the government owned railway from Nome to Shelton will be completely rehabilitated this summer and placed in condition as a tram to be used by the public. The government will not furnish any equipment, however, such as transportation facilities. No rules and regulations have been compiled, save that no load exceed ing two tons gross will be allowed to pass over the railroad, as that will be its capacity.

Homemade Remedy
Stops Coughs Quickly
The best cough medicine you ever
used. A family supply easily and

You might be surprised to know
that the best thing you can use for
a severe cough is a remedy which
is easily prepared at home in just
a few minutes. It's cheap, but for
prompt results il beats anything else
you ever tried. Usually stops the
ordinary cough or chest cold in "a
hours. Tastes pleasant, too--chil-
dren like it--and it is pure and good.
Pour zI1 ounces of Pinex in a
pint bottle; then fill it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use
clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, instead of sugar syrup, If de-
sired. Thus you make a full pint
a family supply-but costing no
more than a small bottle of ready
made cough syrup.
And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at
any price. 1t goes right to the spot
and gives quick, lasting relief. 1t
promptly heals the inflamed MEM
branes that line the throat and air
passages, stops the annoying throat
tickle, Ioosens the phlegm, and soon
your cough stops entirely. Splendid
for bronchitis, Group, hoarseness
and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of Norway pine extract,
famous for healing the membranes.

druggist for "zIs ounces of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept

Fire-Eaters
(By Albert Apple)

Fire-Eaters
| A committee of lawyers, reporting
to the American Bar Association, Is
alarmed because it understands that
there are a million and half radi-
calls in the United States.
This shouldn't alarm even an
l1S90-model mind. For, out of these
100000 radicals, at least 1,45O,0OO
of them don't want to do anything
except talk.
Free speech is democracy's safety
valve.
Wrangling
Goethals, army engineer who
built the Panama Canal for Uncle
Sam, scoffs at commissions and
boards. He attacks them as ineffi-
cient in principle because they have
no responsible head and the men,
bers can pass the buck to each other.
Goethals prefers one-man respon-
sibility. Lincoln called commissions
devices for. the purpose of defeating
government. Man still is in the in
dividualistic stage.

China, famed as a peace-loyina
nation, now has standing army OF
more than a million and a quarter
force rather than a military organ

There's one soldier for each 400
Chinese citizens, job that would be

Texas Rangers. But the Chinese SOL
diers can't maintain order in their

Nations are destroyed from within
more often than from without, but
in every country the people always
imagine their great danger is from
outsiders.
The second largest tree in the
world, a giant California sequoia,
was recently renamed as a memorial
to President Harding.
This tree, 32 feet through and 280
feet tall, is 5000 years old, and still

tional howl if a lumber company
cut it down, and yet we watch with

forest wealth which was millions of
