SAVES THE TEETH

To prevent early decay ofthe teeth,
they should be kept free of albu>
minous coating. This can be done
effectively by the daily use of bak-
ing soda (bicarbonste of soda) as
dentifrice. Spread the soda on a
moistened tooth brush, and brush
the teeth thoroughly. This frees the
teethfrom dangerous film, and leaves
the mouth clean and wholesome.

GIVE THE LITTLE FELLOW A CHANGE

One of the strongest arguments in support of trans ferrng large herds of Eskimo reindeer from the Seward peninsula to Broad Pass presented in the purchase of half hundred animals last week for transportation to the States According to J. F. Shuts who took out the last shipment, the animals cost him approximately $50 per head This is contrast to from $1O to SIP per head paid the Seward peninsula where natives compelled to sacrifice animals for lack of transportation. the year round.
 From time to time reports out of the north to the effect that the natives not proftng much by reindeer propagation as is indicated in many reports of the Biological Survey These reports recently de- nied by J. H. Wagner chief of the Alaska division. Be that it may the fact stands out prominently that the logical place for native herds is along The Alaska Rail road The increased price alone warrants the consdera ton of suggestions offered by men who claim to be fan,
 liar with the deer industry In addton the herds would provide apprecabe measure of business for The Alas ka Railroad During the past year approximately half millions pounds of reindeer meat shipped from Alas ka practically all of which from the Seward penin sula and the major portion from one big company As the reindeer industry established for the benefit of the natives it would appear logical that the bureau should take advantage of the big range in Broad Pass and the railroad give the native herds better opportunity for revenue

WHALING SEASON PROFITABLE

recent dispatch conveyed the information the last has been the most profitable experienced for the fleets of whaers out of Alaskan ports With the clos ing down of the Port Hebron plant last week it is estat ed thousand whales taken in Alaskan waters and the returns from the entire industry total nearly S1250,0O0.
 In former days~-the old Atlantic days-oil and the oil and whaebone of great vaue but the meat finds ready market for human food and the scraps dried for chicken feed Even the bones saved for the fer izer factories rendering pantsfor their differ ence between whalebone and whale bones Whalebone is not bone but horny substance used strainer by the animal. +~a@~
 In the old days the animals were rendered on board ship but in these modern days the catch is lowed to the plant shore where the bubber is rendered and other products packed It is said the gunners receive S2O for each whae besides their regular $1O0 per month
 As basis to figure comparison 1t is seen the 1926 whaling season has been about profitable placer min ing and at the same time-and probably it is due to great extent to this fac-there has been pack of salmon and of herring habu cod and other fish.
 The fact that the Port Hebron whaling station has just completed very successful season means much to Seward for this port the nearest of the larger ports direct contact with the States During the past many have passed thru Seward, coming and going to to the plant Occasionally the whalers drop in. Last week we had the entire in the city for few days and on Sunday four whaers arrived Thousands of dol lars put into circulation in the city prior to the de- parture of the for the States Saturday night h. directly all local business houses derive benefit
 Aside from being the coast terminal of S6OOOOOOO railroad the Port of Seward is the magnet which will increase commercially And the whaling industry is but one of many industries which will assist in the upbuildng of the finest harbor in Alaska, the Port of Seward

PROSECUTION SCORES CRUSHING BLOW IN
 HALL-M|L[S TRIAL

NEW YORK, Nov. g. P)-Henry L. Dickman, former New Jersey trooper, testified at the Hall-Mills trial at Somerset, N J., that he was paid $2,0O0 as a bribe by deceased Prosecutor Beekman to drop his in- vestigation of the double murder four years ago. Part of the ex-trooper's testimony was held by the prosecution to be confirmed of the oft-repeated charges that the former prosecutor had been bought off in the first inves- tigation.
 Mrs. Hall widow of the slain Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, who with her brothers, Willie and Henry, is accused of the murder of Dr. Hall and his choir singer affinity, Mrs. Mills, was visibly shaken as her letter to her brother Henry were read in court. Missives written before her arrest and before Henry was taken into custody had been seized by the prosecution. The letters rebuked Henry for his seeming lack of interest in the case and praised their eccentric brother Willie, now also on trial.
 The so-called million dollar defense counsel were stunned by the days developments and bitterly attacked the credibility of Dickman, who is confessed army and navy deserter.
 Husband Indirectly Accused
 James Mills, slow witted and meek, took the stand at Brunswick, N. J., as prosecuting witness against those charged with the murder of his choir singer wife and her rector sweet heart. The dull-eyed ex-sexton of Halls church said he had never sus- pected his wife; that he had been fool enough to trust Dr. Hall and that when his wife and Hall had been missing before their dead bodies were found he met Mrs. Hall, now on trial, who said to him they must be dead
 The defense counsel for Winnifred Hall and her brothers Willie and Henry then took the witness in hand and indirectly accused him of the slayings They asked him if he had not been a shoemaker and had shoe makers sharp knife in his home at the time of the murders. He replied "Yes, the same one Mrs. Mills throat

had been cut with after she was shot to death" He was then grilled about an alleged quarrel between himself and his wife on the night of the mur- ders, and was questioned about his failure to search for his missing wife until two days after the crime had been committed. He listlessly answer ed all questions insisting he had not been near the scene of the murder.
