FOR WORRYING PEOPLE

The best of workers get out of sorts
when the liver fails to act. They feel
languid, half-sick,, "blue" and discouraged
and think they are getting lazy. Neglect
of these symptoms might result in a sick
spell, therefore the sensible course is to
take dose or two of Herbine. 1t is just
the medicine needed to purify the system
and restore the vim and ambition of
health. Price 60c. Sold by

Although these far northern regions
are generally regarded as of no politi-
cal or economic Importance, it is not
safe to neglect them. There was q
time when Alaska was viewed as q
bad bargain for the United States.
And doubtless the British government
considered its possession just east Of
Alaska, the region Of the Yukon, as of
no worth. But Alaska and the Klondike
have proved to be of immense wealth.
AS gold producers they have far more
than paid for all the cost OF their
supervision during the years when
they were merely identified by marks
on a map. There is no telling where
wealth may be found. There is no
ment of means of communication,
these far northern reaches will be
brought into a practicable range of
trade.
Ownership Of the Polar, or more
broadly speaking, Arctic areas, may
become a matter OF real importance.
The projected aerial expedition may
prove much that has been in doubt
heretofore. They may disclose terri
tories that are capable of utilization.
From scientific point of view the ex-

The Special Counsel.

Inclusion Of the name Of former At
torney General Gregory in the list OF
those who have been in the employ of
the oil company of which Edward L.
Doheny is the head leads naturally
and speedily TO his elimination from
the special counsel Of the government
chosen by President Coolidge for in
quiry and action in the matter OF the
naval oil leases. Though Mr.. Greg
ory's connection with the oil corpora"
ton was OF a nature to leave him In d
position to do fullest justice to the
governments interests. yeu 1t Is I'M
doubtedly the wise course that Presi-
dent Coolidge has pursued of dropping
his name. Public feeling is too keenly
aroused and too sensitive on the score
of possible oil connections to warrant
any chance Of doubt as to the thor
oughness and sincerity and vigor of
the prosecution which is to be under
taken.
But will II be possible to find two
men Of high legal ability and broad
experience and special qualifications
for this work who have not in some
degree at some time had dealings with
companies or individuals engaged in
the petroleum-producin industry:
