dropped to his knees, going over ev.

which bordered the rug, from the
farthest corner of the room to where
the stiff, crumpled body Of Harry

SECRETARY DENNY AND THE OIL

Government ought to dispose of them to the best
advantage lie believed that the occasion to sell or
lease them was whenever development indicated

contended until the last That his conclusion was
right He said he would have been neglectfui

not acted as he did.
We believe that the Judgment Of those who
understood the situation was in agreement with
Mr. DENLY Whenever the time would that

the Naval oil reserves for fuel than oil fuel for
the Navy would NOT be practicable. We believe
that mir. Denny conclusion that the proper time
had arrived to dispose of the Naval reserves was
sound Oil was being taken from neighboring
properties and to a greater or less extent the
reserved oil lands we're being drained.
Of course, this does not excuse in any man

to suspect that Mr. Fail would dispose of the
property in such way as TO make hundreds
of thousands OF dollars for himself. lie had every
reason to take il for granted that the lands

The Ketchikan Chronicle is very strongly op-
posed to the proposal of Gen Gibbs that the
Alaska cable be abandoned and that the Alaska
service hereafter be wholly radio. 1t says that

the last few years, but the experience Of Alaskans
is that it is not nearly satisfactory, even
though less expensive" the cable. The Chron-
icle con tinues:

Their experience justifes them in the conclusion
that it is very much superior to any radio service

The former President wrote on

that others would see that there

The first duty of government is

day we have come to take order for
granted as something almost self

it is very difficult to maintain, as
We are constantly reminded by re-

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occa-

No man or woman can make a
mistake by flushing the kidneys oc-
casionally, says well-known au-
thority. Too much rich food Gre
ateS acids which clog the kidney
pores SO that they Sluggishly filter
or strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood. Then you
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, conStipa-
ton, dizziness, SleepleSSneSs, bladder
disorders often come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts,
begin to drink soft water in quanti-
ties; also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any reliable phar-
macy and take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys may
then act fine.
This famous eSalts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to ac-
tivity, also to help neutralize the
acids in the system so they no
longer cause irritation, thus often
relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful eff
fervescent Whitewater drink, which
everyone can take now and then
to help keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby often pre-
