THE "DIME LETTER" RACKET.

Poor old prosperity, how many rackets have been perpetrated in thy name? And the end is not yet. Out hueing Huey Long a share the wealth idea comes the newest play prosperity the dime letter racket Under the toga Prosperity Club, the old chain letter gag is revived but it's been modern ized and brought right up to the share-the- wealth standards of the easy money boys Like the old put and take" game you put in 10 cents The catch is in the take" At least it may be 90 assumed. The point is that you send a dime to the first name the list you receive in your letter, add your name and send copies of the letter along to five friends. The person whose name you drop from the list is supposed to get dimes from all directions and after the process is repeated by enough suckers your name will reach the top of the list and your ship will in with the dimes
 The hope faith, charity" scheme, as runs the prosperity club" slogan. is reported to have been started in Denver, something which shouldn't be held against that beautiful city They have post office like the rest of us. But the Colorado city postmaster is wondering just how to handle the flood of letters that daily weigh down his carriers Now has spread to other parts of the country and this week descended Juneau.
 Postal authorities are baffled. In other words they can't seem to find law that quite covers the situation, and while they are delving into the "us.ng the mails to defarud1 statute the dime

BLOW TO UNEMPLOYMENT.

The non-Federal PWA projects are beginning to have telling effect on unemployment in the various cities of the Territory sping weather allows authorities to go ahead with the various public works
 Skagways new $380oo water system was started the first of the week with the employment of 10 men with as many more to be added soon. Bids are soon to be let for city hall at Fair banks and also sewers and sidewalks, total outlay of around $50000 that will require a large number of men Work is already nearly half finished on the dam at Wrangel and a project is soon to be undertaken at Sitka. Nome, Petersburg and Valdez also have public works soon to start. The Nome request for $lO000O bond issue already has won approval of the lower House of Congress and is expected to get early action in the Senate.
 One thing that is being stressed by PWA authorities is that in the towns where the improvements taking place get preference on the work Coupled with the natural seasonal em- ployment the municipal public works promises to be a death blow to unemployment this summer

WAKE UP YOUR
 LIVER BILE- WITHOUT CAL0MEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts. min eral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do 1t. They only move the bowels and mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. Is should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely. your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath Is foul. skin often breaks out in bemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CAREERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make won feel up and up." They contain wonderful. harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, smazine when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent substitute. ci931 c. M. Go.

 However, little investigation proved that it was just false alarm Tor different kind. c. w Gilham, veteran Seattle Fire De- partment expert, just was sending Jmeau's Volunteer Fire Depart ment through its paces, using D. B Femmer's warehouse. to lead ladders against for hose work practice
