4 W|CH|TAN WHO
 LEARNED IF THE
 VASTNESS ALASKA

Of Senator J. H. Stewards article on Alaska which has been running in The Gateway as was published re- centely in Kansas City Daily. Sen ator and Mrs. Stewart spent few months in Alaska last summer and his observations have been read with considerable interest:
 The thing Alaska most lacks ie. permanent new settlers, who will en gage in farming livestock raising and gardening, but this class of people are l not going there because of the lack ot roads and transportation and the lure of the big white way of the towns and cities It would be too lonesome, even if they could have good homes and be independent. We saw the government agricultural ex- pertinent stations at Sikta and Mata- nuska. Both make a good showing and will no doubt be very useful in showing what the country produces best. The residents of Alaska now are engaged as government fish, game and forest wardens and other govern ment employees, and as fishermen, hunters trappers, prospectors, min CTS and lumbermen.
 Fishing, for two months, is almost the universal occupation. This year a light run of fish was expected and prepared for by canners, but the run, learn from letter just received. is unusually heavy and the canners are rushing in new material to care for the catch. The fishermen get 15c pound for salmon delivered to the boat that goes around and picks them up from the catcher The most ex 1 pert fishers are the native Indians and half breeds who, by the way, are a much more industrious and intelli- gent lot of people than the usual states Indians It is not uncommon for an Indian and his family to make from three to- five thousand dollars in a season. He has a motorboat which, like our automobiles, are sold for a dollar down and dollar a day for the rest of the owners life.
 There is an unbelievable loss and much of the tragic in abandoned min ing towns where the mines have ceas- ed to be profitable. East of Juneau three miles, the town of Thane is one of these The big mill, the narrow gauge railroad into the mountain, and all the houses are abandoned. Look ing from a distance you would say it was a prosperous, we'll kept town. Douglas, across the channel two miles from Juneau, is another such place. Three years ago it was prosperous place of about 2,500, with large I school houses, city hall, hotels and stores. Sixty two million dollars in gold was taken from the Treadwell ] mine at Douglas on an island, largely from below sea level. The sea broke in, flooded the mine and it is aband- oned and will never be reopened. The town of Douglas is said to have 800 people now but I doubt it. It is a wreck and the property worthless. This is typical of many places in Alaska.
 Lumber is next after fishing and mining in importance. At Wrangell sawmill we saw spruce timbers six inches thick, 16 inches wide and from 24 to 40 feet long without knot or blemish. These timbers go to air plane factories in the States and are

What DR.. Caldwell Learned

possible, hence his remedy for con-
situation. known as DR.. Caldweiis
syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable
compound. 1t can not harm the most
delicate system and is not habit

pleasant-tasting. and youngsters love
It. It does not grippe. Thousands Of
mothers have written US TO tra'

DR.. Caldwell did not approve y
drastic physics and purges. He die
not believe they we're good for human
beings to put into their system. In a
practice OF a years he never saw
any reason for their use when medi-
cine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the
bowels Just as promptly. more cleanly
and gently. without gripping and harm
to the system. :,
Keep free from constipation. 1t
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature old
age. Do not let a day go by without
a bowel movement. DO not sit and
hope, but 60 to a druggist and get one

IT TAKES
ALL-BRAN
To Relieve
CONSTIPATION

More and more people are eating
bran for 'health's sake these days.
And it's a fine thing. But not every
body realizes whata difference there
is in so-called "brans." Doctors say
it takes 1000 bran to supply
enough roughage TO relieve consti-
patton. Part-bran products, at best,
can only be partly effective.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Is 1000
bran. 1t furnishes roughage in
effective quantities-and in the
most effective form: cooked and
krumbled. 1t does a work part-bran
products cannot hope TO equal. Two
tablespoonfuls daily-chronic cases,
with every meal-are guaranteed
to relieve constipation.
Serve ALL-BRAN often. With
milk or cream-fruits or honey
added. Be sure you get genuine
Kellogg's though-in the red-and-
green package. Use it in cooking.
Sprinkle into soups. ALL-BRAN
is sold by all grocers. Served every
where. Made by Kellogg in Battle
