This is going back to about 1908 when kings mild cure size-brought 75 cents per fish regardless of size, and small reds brought 25 cents with TO market for white. The differ ence this year being the prices of commodities are not at 1903 levels so the purchasing power of the fishermen's dollar is curtailed.

MEDICAL WORK FOR ALASKA

Dr. F. s. FelloWes, Medical Director for the Indian Depart nlent for the Territory has re- commended that nurse be stationed at Haines and Kluk- wan, Ketchikan, Saxman and Kasaan. When nurses are as- signed these stations, Southeast Alaska will be fortunate in hav- ing a complete medical service.
 Petitions of the Alaska Native Brotherhood for a hospital at Sitka cannot receive favorable recommendation as the Govern ment cannot maintain hospitals iE every town. Miss Lila Broug- her, R. N, however, is stationed at Sitka to supervise the health activities of the Bureau.
 Lack of funds prevents ar engagement of contracts with doctors in Wrangell and Ketchi- kan. The appropriation for the Indian Bureau work in Alaska was curtailed $4O,O00 this year over the recOmmendatiOn of the Budget Committee. This necessarily forces curtailment of all operations in Alaska. For this reason it is not to be ex- |pected that there will be much change in the medical service except as above noted.

Tomato Best Substitute
For Orange in This State

only are tomatoes the equal Of oranges
in vitamin content when the fresh
fruits are compared, but they retain
their vitamin qualities even when
canned. This Is the reason why every
gardener should plan to produce
enough tomatoes for fresh consump-
ton throughout the growing season,
and, in addition, grow q sufficient
supply for canning.
Nutrition specialists are strong in
their approval Of tomatoes and are
urging that large quantities be
canned for use throughout the year.
The use Of tomatoes in the diet is
especially important in families hav-
ing growing children, as the young
sters need the valuable nutritional
elements contained in this vegetable.
Tomatoes are one of the few vege-
tables that retain all of their vitamins
intact after cooking and canning.
Early Kinds Are Best
While some of the late tomatoes
are superior in quality, early kinds
are best for the main crop. The plants
should be started early in the hotbed,
transplanted once to give them more
space and finally transplanted to in
dividual pots or tin cans which have
plenty of holes in the bottom. They
are set in the garden when danger of
frost is past. Tomatoes often are set
too close together. They should have
not less than four by five feet of
space for each plant. Close spacing

Find Chemical Cure For Drug Users
Who Have no Complaining Illness

Washington, April 25.-R-A
treatment which its discoveries
believe will cure any drug addict
who has no complicating illness
and who wants to be cured, was
reported Monday to the National
Academy Of Sciences.
It consists essentially Of treat
ing the drug addict with chemi-
Gals that counterfeit the effects OF
the drug on his system. The an
nouncement was the first public
indication that the treatment, al
ready used successfully In expert
ments. could be applied to addicts
in general. It was made before
the acadeny's annual meeting by

not suffer from a pain producing
disease and who really wants to
be cured"
The treatment was made pos
sible by first learning how drugs
and chemicals act on the cells Of
the brain. Bancroft and his CO.
workers discovered morphine
thickens, or coagulates, the pro-
TENS in these cells. This effect
persists after the influence Of a
dose of the drug wears off, caus-
ing the craving for another and
the gradual formation of the
habit.
They found sodium rhodanate
acts as an antidote and thins out
the thickened proteins again, do
ing away with the craving and so
ending the habit. The first ex-
perimental cure Of a morphine
addict was reported by Bancroft
and his CO. workers in January.
Their work since then apparently
has shown they were on the right
track

delays ripening, reduces the size OF
the fruit, makes it thinner fleshed
and often causes rot which appears
opposite the stem on the fruit. This
rot Is the result Of drouth usually
following too wet weather. Wider
spacing helps prevent 1t. but watering
also is desirable. Tomatoes may be
had long after frost by wrapping the
green ones in paper and storing them
in q cool place or the vines may be
pulled and hung in the cellar where
the fruit will ripen slowly.
Among the varieties Of tomatoes
likely to give the greatest satisfaction
are the Bison, Red River and Earliana
for early, and Agassiz, Early Jumbo
and John Baer for late use.
Gardeners should not overlook the
earliest of vegetables, asparagus.
When one is planting his garden he
can be cutting asparagus. It is per-
ennial vegetable, the young shoots Of
which are eaten. They are prepared
in much the same manner as peas. An
asparagus bed once established may
continue to produce almost indefi-
nitely. There are beds in North Da-
kota planted twenty years ago. Every
garden should have row Of 1t
planted next the fence on one side
where it will not be plowed out.
One Year Old Plants
Usually the gardener buys plants
from seedhouse though he may raise
them himself. These should be one
year-old plants. Before planting, a
trench Is opened by blowing twice in
the same furrow. In the bottom of
this trench the plants are spaced
about is inches apart and are COW

DEFINITE DECISION

matte decision which may virtually
clinch the Democratic presidential
nomination for Franklin D. Roosevelt
or may cast tremendous odds against
him, impends in Tuesdays Massachu-
sets and Pennsylvania primaries.
In these two states the Stop
Roosevelt" forces-beaten back SO
far-have concentrated their strength
behind Alfred E. Smith in stupen-
dous effort to halt the New York gov
ernor's triumphant piling up OF
pledged convention votes. The strug-
gle resting with the voters is square
cut. At stake, far more important
than the ll2 votes to be had. is the
moral effect on political leaders and
voters in the numerous states which
yet have to choose their candidate.
The result, however, may be less
definite than the issue. On the eve
of the decision a summary or blend
ing of opinion. partisan and neutral,
appears to favor division in the
votes of both states, Massachusetts
throwing the bulk of its 36 to Smith,
Pennsylvania giving majority OF its
IS delegates to Roosevelt.
Without the furore accompanying
the Democratic campaign. the Re-
publicans during this week will select
264 more delegates in Is states; prac-
tically every one of the votes is as
sured to President Hoover'S column
which already counts 423 in pledged
and claimed delegates. To all in
tents, the nomination is his now.
In place of presidential candidates,
issues are taking the Republican
spotlight. particularly prohibit n.
Continued agitation for referendum

who is an ardent dry, to Wrest the
senatorial nomination from the in
cumbent James ]. Davis, who swung

GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR

continually urging you to buy strange
products in place of the dependable
brands you ask for, this is generally
true: The merchant reaps an extra
profit, or his clerk a commission, by
switching you to the unknown, often
inferior merchandise!
Many Of the best stores everywhere
forbid this practise. When you buy
from them you are always sure of
getting exactly what you ask for,
with full value in the merchandise
you want for every penny you spend.
But if you are urged to buy some
thing lust as good as the thing you
ask for, refuse it! Insist on products
you know by experience, or by
reputation. Such products are often
advertised in this newspaper. Get
the brands you ask for, and you'll
avoid many a disappointment
