Piles Co Quick
No SaIves-No Cutting

Thousands who have itc hing, bleeding or protruding piles have not yet learned that quick and lasting relief can only be accom- plished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor suppositories remove the cause.
 Bad circulation of blood in the lower bowel causes piles. The hemorrhoidal veins are flabby, the bowel walls weak-the parts almost dead To get rid of Piles an in- ternal medicine must be used to stimulate the circulation, drive out the thick impure blood, heal and restore the affected parts.
 Dr. J. s. Leonhardt, after years of study, found a real internal Pile remedy. He called his discovery HEM-ROID, and prescribed it for 1000 patients with success in over 300 cases, and then decided every Pile sufferer, no matter how stub born their case. might try his pre- scription with money back guar antee. had

tific department of the Interna- tional Fisheries Commission in re- gard to the study of the halibut consisted in determining the qual- itative distribution, and var lou stages of the haibut's development were studied. The specimens for this work were taken in any loca- ton and from any depth and from the results of the study, the life history of the halibut was formu- lated.
 Samples of Sea Water Taken
 During the research work con- ducted this year the party took number of samples of sea water from different depths in an effort to determine the conditions under which the halibut eggs are devel- oping, MT. Townsend said.
 Commissions Work Important
 The work done by the scientists of the International Fisheries Con- mission is very important to hali- buters, as the Commission is pri- marily interested in the preser- vation and extension of the halibut industry. Regulations governing the halibut industry are directly based on the results of the scien- tific research of the Commission
 Other Members
 Other members of the party, who are working with MT. Townsend are 0. E. Erickson and F. J. Gun- derson, all from the scientific staff of the Commission which has its headquarters in Seattle.
 The party will leave aboard the Eagle for Seattle as soon as re- pairs to the schooner are complet- ed, MT Townsend said.

 Indictment Weather
 During the month of February, SO Clam diggers were employed on the clam beds by local clam pack CTS at Cordova. Due to indictment weather during the months of January and February, the pack was not large and the earnings of the diggers was negligible. Therefore in order to give employ ment to any person desiring work in the clam industry and to keep the two clam carperies at Cor dova operating, it has been deemed advisable by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries to open the season dur ing the month of March, MT. Vim announced.

However, during this period the total case pack is not to exceed twenty thou sand cases, containing 48 one-half pound tins. The new regulations further provide that razor clans may be taken for commercial pur- poses during the period from Aug ust 16, to December 31, both dates inclusive, limiting the total case pack to ten thousand cases.
