It is very doubtful, according to Attorney F. H. Foster, if the recent petition of the Cordova business men asking Secretary of Commerce Hoov- CT to amend the fishing regulations next year, will be needed at Wash ington.
 While in Seattle three weeks ago, MT. Foster had occasion to discuss the issue with Commissioner of Fish cries Harry O'Malley. MT. O'Malley told the local attorney at the time thatt he could see no possible chance for the regulations to be changed next season. In the face of his pro- posed closing up of the fishing on the Copper River Delta, a modification providing for more liberal laws was considered highly improbable the fish commissioner told MT. Foster.
 Officers installed by Fairbanks Masons last week were: Thomas B. Wright, worshipful master; Forbes L. Baker, senior warden; Charles E. Taylor, junior warden; Robert Lav- cry, secretary; Gus Burton Erwin, treasurer; H. Nordale, senior deacon; Thos. J. McCroskey, junior deacon; Carl Selberg, chaplain; Peter Stamp Peterson, tyler; Frank Mcdonald, marshal; Robert Clark and Roden Davis, stewards.
 District Judge E. E. Richie sus- tained the defense motion to SUD- press the evidence in the case of Dr. w. w. Council, Frank Cunningham and George Steele on the ground that Deputy Marshal Cloes did not have reasonable or sufficient cause to search the boat Nancy Lee" aboard which were alleged to be found sev- eral bottles of liquor last August.
 The judges decision, unless ap- pealed, amounts to a dismissa1 of the case, according to Assistant U. s. Attorney W. H. Hodge.

Medical Association

MCUACoA ASSUC1dGAOn
TN all countries among ali peo-
i Piles and in all ages there has
been, and doubtless always will
be normal physiological demand
for some stimulant outside the
ordinary articles of food.
In the United States this de-
mand has been and Is being largely
met by the three articles men
toned in my headlines. These
three drinks have much the same
action. They are all stimulants,
since tea and coffee contain caffein
and cocoa contains the obromine.
Neither coffee nor tea has any
fuel value in itself.
Coffee has more scaffein than
tea and the ordinary boiled or
percolated cup Of coffee contains
two grains which is the ordinary
prescription dose.
Good tea depends upon two pre-
cautions. The first is to use fresh
water and let it boil for not more
than a minute, and the second is
to dry the teapot thoroughly and
warm it with the tea inside, a
small teaspoonful for each cup,
before putting in the water.
When the water, boiling, has been
poured on, the pot should stand
for three minutes in warm
place. Then the tea should be
poured into another pot and not
left to stand on the leaves. That
Is the perfect tea which / have
found in Japan.
The heaithiest way to make cot
fee is to filter it, for BY this
method the caffein Is reduced to
less than a grain per cup, a dose
which does grown-up people no
harm in moderation. In fact. its
mild stimulation is beneficial.
The coffee should be bought very
finely ground and used fairly
literally. A heaped tablespoonful
for four or five cups is about the
allowance. Freshly boiled water.
should be used, and the pot covered
closely and set In q can Of boiling
water to prevent It from cooling.
The water should take from five
to eight minutes to filter through
and the coffee should not be run
through 3 second time.

"The contrast between what
happened during the Civil War

Reilly contends, may be summed
up as one caused by the difference
between draft including unfair
distinction based on wealth, ruth
lessly administered by the Federal

administered in each community
by group of its inhabitants,
backed up and checked up in their
