GUARANTEED Relief
FROM CONSTIPATION

Common constipation is usually
due to meals low in "bulk." Pills
and drugs give only temporary re-
lief. The sensible thing to do is to
put "bulk" back into your meals.
Millions of people get this needed
s'bulk" in a delicious cereal: Kel-
logg's ALL-BRAN. It's "bulk" is
much like that in leafy vegetables.
Within the body, it absorbs mois-
ture, forms a soft mass, gently
cleanses the system.
Some years ago, an investigation
was made among thousands of ALL
BRAN users. 90 per cent found it
satisfactory. Only 2 per cent had
the type of constipation that would
not respond to ALL-BRAN.
ALL-BRAN is guaranteed. Try it
a week. If not satisfactory, your
money will be refunded by the
Kellogg Company.
Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily,
either as cereal or in cooked dishes.
ALL-BRAN is sold by all grocers.
Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.

 He first came to Alaska in 1896 prospecting around Circle and then at Dawson the following year. Was there that he struck il rick by discovering a rich pay-streai- calling it Cheeehako Hill. His part ner was Oliver Miller
 The discovery was given the name of Cheechako Hill because if was located in such an unexpected place that when the government of- ficial arrived to approve the claim. he remarked. Lets call it Cheeoh- ako Hill because only a Cheeehako would look there for gold"
 The claim proved to be one of the richest in the Klondike country. MT Mertaugh then went to Nome to get in on that gold rush and left in 1901 a rich man. He travel ed to South America doing some prospecting around Peru and then crossed over to Capetown. Africa Later he returned to the West Indies.
 Ii 1904 he returned to Alaska and has been here ever since. He rrospected on the Alaska Peninsula most of the time but has been all over the territory prospecting. he said

 The Valdez Miner last week in reporting the arrival in Valdez of Alex Kasenek, foreman for MT. Helekal, said in part:
 A large shipment of freight, in cluding a mill, lumber for building purposes and timbering. and other supplies will arrive in Valdez con signed to the Mayfield On the next -reighter. and be flown over to the mine.
 That the Mayfield now and in years to come will develop into one of the heaviest producers in the district, is denied by no mining man who has been over the prop erty. There is a very rich main lead, the assays running into the hun dreds of dollars. and various out croppings which have been but slightly uncovered, also showing rich values.
 For years there has been talk of moneyed men taking over the valuable property, but until now transportation costs have been sucr that actual work has been badly hampered.
 The opening and operation cf the mine by Mir Helekal and his associates is but another example of what the airplane and our in trepid Alaska pilots are doing to- woard the development of this vast territory.
 All freight will be flown there by plane. thus saving a great amount of money on transportation. which means that more will be spent on working the property"
