AL.ASKAOUTpUT OF SILVER AND
 GOLD CLIMBING
May Break Record of Past Decade Big Gain Made
 in First Nine Months

Alaska is apparently going to have the biggest gold and silver output this year that it has turned out in a single year for a decade. It should top last years production by not less than $75000O and may exceed that.
 This was revealed today with the announcement by Collector of Gus toms J. c. Mcbride that the ship ments of these metals for the first nine months of 1929 aggregated s4,261 ,862 This is $606.857 in ex- cess of similar shipments for the same period last year.
 If the rate of increase to date continues to the end of the year, the total production may reach $8,000,000 and should not fall be- low S7,500,000 It is ten years since domestic gold and silver ship ments from the Territory reached the former figure. Since 1917 ii has ranged from about 5000 900 to as high as $7,500,000' but not since 1922 has it attained the latter sum
 The increases this year are main ly in the Second and Fourth Di- visions, coming from the operations of the dredges at Nome and Fair banks. The First Division, whicr has produced more than 50 per , cent of the total as usual this year and the Third each gained a few thousand.
 The production by Division for the first nine months of 1929 and 1928 as shown by Custom House fioIrac fOlIomc.

After being unreported since leav- ing Sitka yesterday morning at 5:43 o'clock on the flight to Seattle, and grave fears being expressed for the safety of the four Russian fliers and their plane, word was flashed through the air this afternoon by radio communication of the U. s. Signal Corps, that the plane had been forced down at Waterfall, on fPr1nce of Wales Island. and every thing was O. K
 Pending receipt of this informa- tion, a search had been started flor the plane. The Unalga left Juneau at 12 o'clock and was to cruise along the Alaska coast, going into all bays and inlets The Coast Guard cutter Haida had left the south and was to cruise along the west coast of Vancouver Island, north until meeting the Unalga. The Cygan was also pressed into service to run in and out of the bays around Prince of Wales Island.
 Early Report
 There was report early this morning that the plane had been forced down at Hetta Inlet, but this was not confirmed later. Hetta Inlet is also on Prince of Wales Island The reason Hetta Inlet was used as a possible spot for forced landing was because of the fact that when Commander She's takov took off at Sitka, he was given Copper Mountain, not far i from Hetta Inlet, as land mark on the southern flight. With good visibility the mount could be seen from the air on the proposed flight south.
 i Much apprehension was felt early last evening when no report of the arrival of the Land of Soviets was received. The plane carries no radio sending apparatus on the trip south the generator having been taken off the plane at Sitka and is ! for Seattle. The plane could re- ceive.
 Proposed Flight Route
 Before leaving Sitka, Command CT Shestakov stated to Capt. Kol- seth, of the Admiral Rogers, in port this forenoon, that the route to be followed on the flight south would be the outside passage to Seattle. From Sitka the fliers planned to go to Cape Omaney, to Dixon En- trance, over Hecate Strait to Cape Scott and along the western coast ,of Vancouver Island to Cape Flat Itery. This information was given to Comdr Addison of the Unalga before he sailed at noon today and he was to visit all inlets and bays on Prince of Wales Island and other islands on the route south.
 Another report of importance came from Deputy Collector of Customs Bolshanin, of Sitka, and stated that it was understood that the Soviet plane took the outside route especially in Canadian waters as they had received no permission to travel in Canadian territory.
 Was Down on Sunday
 According to passengers aboard the Admiral Rogers, it was learn ed from good Russian sources at Sitka that the Land of Soviets was forced down last Sunday as orig inally reported in the sos sent out from the plane. The spot it went down was as given. The port motor blew out gasket and land- ed on the Gulf of Alaska near q halibut schooner fishing in the vicinity. By it's one good motor

One of the charms Of this dining room
is it's freedom from articles that do

far from neighbors have fewer oppor-

The cooperative extension work takes
this into consideration in planning

them with mild, harmless salts
which helps to remove the body's
urinous waste and stimulate them to
their normal activity.
The function Of the kidneys Is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains Of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance Of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of good water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts. Take tablespoonful in q
glass Of water before breakfast each
morning for few days and your kid
neys may then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for years to help
clean and stimulate clogged Kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids in the
system so they are no longer source
Of Irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.

EVERY DISEASE
FOUND IN CHINA
Sanitation in Western Sense
Completely Lacking.

Washington, d. Gin China every
Known disease exists, and floods, wars
and famines are common. But the
political and economic situation affects
the peoples health more than any of
the diseases, in the opinion Of an Of
dcial of the United States public health
service who has recently returned
from China. Ignorance and terrific
poverty are of course responsible for
the prevalence of tuberculosis, small
pox, cholera, intestinal diseases and
diseases resulting from faulty diet.
Sanitation in the western sense Is
completely lacking for all but the
wealthy mandarin class. In fact, vast
numbers of the Chinese population
have not even roof to cover them
while they sleep, or to protect them
from the elements. Their entire prop
erty consists of the rags they wear as
clothing. The ricksha coolies, hot and
sweating after their last run, have no.
where to sleep at night but the pave
ment. Such exposure combined with
uuueIlccuiuS uuuheS IuDeTCulOSlS CSpe'
cially prevalent among them.
No foreigner dares to eat uncooked
food in China. Salads of raw lettuce.
celery, tomatoes, ETC., are so danger
Gus as to be prohibitive. In spite of
all precautions, foreigners nearly al
ways get dengue fever If they are in
the country for any length of time.
A fungous infection of the feet.
known as Hongkong foot, Is very COM
mon. 1t is spread by the barefoot cool
les, but shod mandarins and foreign
ers also acquire it.
The civil wars are of course respon-
sible for great loss of life. This is
due not so much to the numbers
killed in battle as to the starvation
that results when all the able-bodled
men of a large district are called from
the fields to the armies. Crop failure
is the first consequence and famine
the second. In country as thickly
populated as China, failure of one
crop spells disaster far more complete
than in other less densely peopled
countries.

One of the outward and visible
signs of progress in the field of home
making, as 4-H club girls learn it's
various phases, is the ability to plan
good menu, from the health stand
point, cook it palatably, and serve it
gracefully. Part of this last aspect of
meal preparation is learning to set
table in the accepted way. These club
girls in Albemarle county, Va, are all
at the age when they help their moth
ers constantly with the different
household tasks. They usually have
ideas on what is attractive or up-to-
date in the appearance of their homes,
and are especially interested in the
details that are concerned with hospi-
tality Of entertaining the friends Of
the family. The home demonstration
agent is showing this group how
dinner table ought to be set for six
