 Why, in the winter the tenn perature averages only about 20 above" he said. "Of course, it did get to 10 below there this winter, but that cold lasted only a couple of days. You know it strikes me as funny when you people here talk about having a blizzard when yo have only an inch and half of snow. To hear the reports per son would think you were having cold weather. This is just nice spring stuff.
 We have fertile country LID there Our crops come in later than yours, but they come in fast when they start. I have three kinds of strawberries, and rasp- berries, gooseberries and entrants. I begin to pick the berries along in July and have plenty on hand until the first freezeup of winter.
 We have lots of wild flowers in and around Anchorage and lots of tame ones. I've some peonies in my yard as large as cabbages and decidedly perfumed. When our summer starts, we have about two days to your one, the sun lis out such long hours, and you can almost see the vegetation grow. Anchorage is headquarters for the Alaska Railroad. I handle all the stationery for the road. A good deal of our printing is done at the navy yard at Brenerton and i'll Seattle, although we do con- siderable in Anchorage. Our stan- dard forms come from Washing

 The machine shops are also at Anchorage and headquarters of

 manager, was formerly train mas

 little mining activity in our re- zion. The Willow creek mines, lo- cated above Wasilla, are running at full speed.

DR.. Caldwelrs 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
of constipation for AZ years, and be-
lieved that no matter how careful
people are Of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur
from time to time regardless Of how
much one tries to avoid it. OF next
Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DR.. Caldwell al
ways was in favor of getting as
close to nature as possible, hence his
remedy for constipation, known as

not harm the most delicate system
and is not a habit forming prepara-

does not grippe. Thousands of
mothers have written us to that
effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve OF
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu-
man beings to put into their systems.
In a practice of AZ years he never
saw any reason for their use when a
medicine like Syrup Persin will
empty the bowels Just as promptly,
more cleanly and gently, without
gripping and harm to the system.

The race for first bale honors

With the increase In interest in
