- came into being there has
been a need among discriminat-

time not occupying too much

demand so generously as to
satisfy the most exacting tests
of reproduction, and the cab
met will delight the eye on that

 Mrs. Johnson is quiet, plain sort of woman. She was born on tho farm near Kimball adjoining that on which she now lives. She never lived anywhere else. She is a direct descendant of General Israel Putnam Of Revolutionary War fame. She married Magnus Johnson in 1899. They have six children.

Women Need Swamp-Root

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never sus- pect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness, are often times symptoms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, physi- clans prescription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get a medium or large size bottle immediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bing- hamton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. (advertisement.)

Perfumes Will Add Reality to
 Motion Pictures

Pleasant odors, typical of the scene being shown, may be used in notion picture theaters shortly, to add reality to the screened picture story. This will be accomplished by working keys at the organ, which will be connected to suit able spraying apparatus. When an ocean acne appears, the bracing odor of salt air, with it's pleasant tang, will be waited through the theater, as a natural &C., compartment of the setting. Similarly, . country background will call forth the characteristic fragrance of freshly mown hay. Exotic perfumes and incense will be used in Oriental presentations.

Simple Portable, Adjustable
 Base for Farm Engines

The problem of holding down a gasoline engine, without resorting to the usual method of bolting it to the floor, was solved by the portable and adjustable base shown in the drawing Two heavy wooden
 beams are bolted to the underside of the engine, their ends projecting far enough to be used as handles. Two similar beams, somewhat shorter, are permanently att tached to the foor so that those on the engine will fit between them. A remov- able rod is then pushed through holes drilled in all four beams, to lock them to- gether and hold the engine down securely. One hole is. drilled through each outside beam and series of holes through the inner ones so that the two base members can be locked together at different points, to. obtain proper belt tension. Floor beams of the same type are attached near

REALISTIC EARTHQUAKE SCENE IN FEATURE

What is claimed to be the pinnacle of realism is achieved in the earth. quake scene of Saved By Wireless" /" at the Coliseum Wednesday night only. Similar scenes of the past were regarded as extremely realistic when they depicted buildings swaying and tumbling and people rushing from under them in terror. But in this picture, the fourth and final install ment of Paramounts ."The Mistress of the World" the realism is car ried to an even farther degree by de- picting the ground rocking. with fear- crazed negroes standing rooted to it, too nerveless to flee.

SUPERSTITION THEME SUBJECT OF FEATURE

Do you believe in superstition?
 If you do, you no doubt know of the legend of "aee of spades" and devils finger
 But after all, is superstition a habit or fear that has been injected into ones life?
 Is it an inheritance? There are those who believe it is. but the ma jority of those who are inclined to characterize as absurd superstition of any story, will argue that it is merely sign of timidity-of fear. But is it?
 That is the perplexing, interesting and timely question that is answered in Gods Country and the Law, which will be shown at the Palace theatre on Thursday.

 CITY STREETS

Placer Mining on Main Street Reveals Colors-Con-
 structing Sewer.

Picking sp nuggets on the streets of Juneau IS an old time joke and m espec.a,.y good one on the che chacoes of early days, but the prac- tioal jokerc of the old times have a good one on them and C. Bender, City Street Commissioner, can prove it.
 Bender is ia charge of tho laying af the new sewer pipe on Main Street and the construction of the new street. For the past several days he hes had crew of men working on the street. The scene is not dissimilar to one of the early days of placer mining as hose is used for washing down the dirt and sluice box carries the refuse into tho Channel.
 Picking up a shovel of dirt Ben- der in a careless glance, saw colcr of gold. Closer inspection showed several colors. In practically every shovel of dirt a few colors can be seen, some as large as a pin head. i Bender is deciding on the advisabil- ity of putting rifles in the sluice
 box. The colors caught. might pay
 good part of the expenses of pres
 ent operations, he says.
 1 According to Juneau residents it
 was a regular pastime to search for i colors in sluice boxes which were
 erected when the hill on Main Street was washed down for the erection of the Behrends buildings between Second and Third Streets. Each day at noon when operations closed for the lunch hour the colors were taken from the boxes.

She was of a light olive-green color,
with a smooth, glossy hide. Her name,

she belonged to the retinue of Tars
Tarkas. She conducted me to spa
cious chamber in one of the buildings

the litter Of silks and furs upon the
floor, I took to be the sleeping quar-
tiers Of several Of the natives

room, and, turning. made peculiar
kissing sound, as though signaling to

first sight of a new Marian wonder.

were equipped with three rows of
long, sharp tusks.

NOW co ON WITH THE STORY

The Martians, after conversing for
a short time, turned and rode away
in the direction from which they had
come, leaving one of their number
alone by the enclosure. When they
had covered perhaps two hundred
yards they halted and turning their
mounts toward us sat watching the
warrior by the enclosure.
When his force had come to halt
he dismounted, threw down his spear
and small arms and came around the
end of the incubator toward me. en-
tirely unarmed and as naked as l,

on his head, limbs and breast.
When he was within about fifty feet
of me he mclasped an enormous met
