QUART OF WATER CLEANS KIDNEYS

No man or woman can make a , mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known . authority. Eating too much rich
 food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They become over . worked from the strain, get slug gish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. Then
 we get sick. Rheumatism, head

WOLVES CAUSE DAMAGE IN so.

Predatory Amin als Kill Deer on Islands in South
 Alaska Says Stewart

While the number of wolves in the southern district of Alaska estimated by trappers and other residents, is in excess of the ac- tual number, the damage done to furlbearing and other useful ami mals, by the packs that do exist is as tremendously serious. ac- cording to k. K. Stewart. preda- tory animal hunter of the II. s. Biological Survey. Mr. Stewart returned to Juneau Saturday night on the Survey vessel Sea Otter after a months trip through the southern localities and particu larly on the Islands. He was ac- companied south from Petersburg by G. w. Taylor of the local sur yey office.
 MT. Stewards trip was only 8 preliminary survey, he said, but in the short time he had to give he discovered the problem of NOlNcS 10 coptNidiis aCi iiouo among the deer. He himself counted the carcasses of four deer, in short radius, that had been killed by wolves. The ani- mals are also disturbance 10 the foxes on the island farms.
 While the local trappers will give unqualified support toward the extermination of wolves, con- trol of tho situation can be sue cessful only oy the assignment of an expert wolf man to the Islands region in the territory" said MT. Stewart.
 Mr. Stewart is leaving Juneau tomorrow on the Yukon and will spend the months, until late next fall. in the interior.
 He will go first to Cordova and from that point to McCarthy where he will be joined by Henry Boyden, well known guide. who is to make the trip with him. To. gether they will go to the head of the White and Shushana rivers, crossing Russell glacier. They eX- oect to spend about 10 weeks in this district while MT Stewar. makes survey of the mountain sheep situation and studies the effect of the wolves on the sheep during the lambing season.

 "MLLE. MODISTE" AT PALACE TOMORROW

Corinne Griffith, who has just completed her latest First Nation al picture, Mile. Modiste," makes known the curious fact that since she has become the producer of her own pictures she has not had the same leading man in any two films.
 First it was Conway Tearle. He gave way to Give Brook. who in turn abdicated in favor of Holmes E.. Herbert and Lloyd Hughes. In "Classified' it was Jack Mulhall and Percy Marmont. and Malcolm McGregor vied for her favors in "Infatuation."
 Norman Kerry is the latest of the handsome men of the screen to play opposite the beautiful star. He enacts the role of the dashing French officer in Mile Modiste.' This picture is an adap- tation of the famous Victor Her. bert operetta
 Robert z. Leonard directed. E. M. Asher was general manager of production. In addition to Miss Griffith and Kerry others in the cast are Willard Louis, Dorothy Cumming, Rose Dione, Paulette Duval and Dorothy Dunbar.

MUCH ICE IN
 VALDEZ BAY.
Admiral Watson Has Diff culty in Reaching Wharf
 -Heacy Ice Sheet

After encountering ice condi- tions in Valdez Bay which made it almost impossible for her to reach the dock. the Admiral Wat. son, Capt. c. C. Graham. arrived in port at i:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon from the westward minus paint on bow and sides for several feet above her water line.
 Officers on the steamer said the only way in which they were able to push their way into the wharf at Valdez was by following the path of a previous steamer. which had broken it's way in when the ice had not frozen to such thickness as they encountered
 Ten miles down the inlet to the harbor slush ice was run into This thickened as the boat pro ceeded towards the city, and hard ice, about one foot thick, was on all sides, in sheet, finally re- tarded the boats progress.
 Towards the end of the ordeal the Admiral Watson's progre IS was extremely slow, for she had to back up, and then ram through about forty feet of unbroken ice.
 Some difficulty was experienced in reaching the wharf. officers said, for the ice was thicker close in. The town, with the ice GOV cred bay in the foreground, made a wonderful picture of an Arctic winter, those on the boat declared
 Upon leaving Valdez two pas sengers who loitered too long were left on the dock Ice condi- tions saved the day for them. for they clambered from the dock, headed across the ice and were taken aboard the steamer out in Valdez Bay.
 Those in Valdez say this is the second time in history conditions have been such Recent heavy falls of snow give the town a polar setting.

 MADAME WANTS NO CHILDREN" COLISEUM

One of the most joyous comedy dramas ever screened. according to European critics. is Madame Wants No Children" Fox Films production, a highly piquant and sophisticated film of mod ern man. ners especially as they apply to the dance crazed flappers and childless wives of the larger cities.
 The theme is that of the desire and love for children which moti- vate most men into marriage and of the wife who refuses to have them. But instead of being q problem play, the director. Alex ander Korda, who's splendid work in this production has won him T long term American contract. has made of it a hilarious comedy drama. There is a lesson for all who will see this picture when it has it's local showing at the Coli scum Theatre Tuesday, but the lesson is interwoven through some of the most humorous situ- ations that have ever set audi ences laughing. The verdict of American critics who have had previews of this picture confirm the opinions of their foreign col leagues.

 In the endorsement was found a letter signed by George Wash ington. It was cracked and about to disintegrate. With the aid of the government printing office the letter was restored and has been put in safe place.

said by planters to have had the effect of reducing actual produc- tion about 50 percent
 It had other effects, the first of which twas to stimulate efforts, especially in the United States where 75 percent of the world out put is used, toward production of more and cheaper rubber. Dutch rubber production increased 100 percent within few years. Tha British share of the world trade declined from about three-quar- ters to slightly more than one half.
 American companies obtained rubber from their own planta- tions in Sumatra and Malaya. Others bought plantations in Lii beria, and Brazil, original home of the rubber plant. One com pany expanded it's California acreage of guayule, a rubber-pro- ducing shrub.
 American manufacturers re. claimed used rubber. chiefly from old tires. Research improved quality and increased the avail able quantity from less than 60,- GOO tons annually to 174,600 tons, or about 50 percent of consump- tion, in 1927.
 The American rubber pool" q $40,000,000 organization, was so successful in buying rubber and storing it for use in times of ex- pected high prices and in it's psy- chological effect in restraining wide market price fluctuations. that it's life was extended from August 1927, to April 1, 1928. Dis coveries were made in the field of synthetic rub .er, but while they indicated progress, they never were considered of sufficient i'm portance to affect the world mar ket.
 The British rubber planters felt other effects nearer home. They
  complained restriction had cur tailed employment and hurt busi- ness generally, had increased plantation operating costs and had encouraged smuggling and disre- spect for law. Worst of all they declared, it had subsidized the cultivation of rubber in countries outside, the empire.
 Trade reports show that in maintaining prices the Stevenson act was only temporarily success full. While prices rose when the act first became effective and the rubber trade grew panicky in fear the world rubber supply was un- der single control, it was only in 1925 and 1926 that the planters really profited. production and loss of markets increased London rubber stocks from 5,500 tons in 1924 to 66, 900 tons in 1927. with resulting drop in prices In July, 1926, definite price de cline set in. The average last year was about six cents pound below the Stevenson minimum.

WASHINGTON, March 5-The Congressional Record word by word account Of congress do- ings-is proyerbially much neg lected publication in this country, but now it is revealed that it is in great demand abroad.
 Explaining the workings of the International Exchange before the house committee on appropria- tions. pr. c. G. Abbott, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, told the members of shipments of government publications, in cluding the Record, to other coun- tries.
 "They actually read the Con gressional Record?" asked Repre- sentative R. Walton Moore of Virginia
 Dr. Abbott assured him they did and H. w. Dorsey, chief clerk at the Smithsonian, said he re- ceived complaints when ship ments were delayed.
 Neither Abbott nor Dorsey could explain, however, what the publications are used for.
 To insure that representatives of this government abroad appea- to the people there in an Ameri. can setting. the state department is supplying government owned buildings with government owned furnishings.
 The furniture was selected from styles in the new American wing of the New York museum and made in New York factories.
 At Penang, in the Straits Set. dement's, however, white ants eat all the wood furniture provided and bids are being asked for metal furniture. Presumably the department will explain to the natives there that all Americans don't use aluminium chairs.
 The appropriation committee hearings brought out that the state department is having diff culties keeping it's library and archives sections in order.
