Handy Thing About
Black-Draught So
MANY Folks Like

When it comes to the proper size
dose of a laxative medicine, differ
ent persons and different ages natu-
rally need different doses. Proper
size doses thoroughly do the work
expected without harsh purging-
Black-Draught laxative is prepar-
ed in a dry powder so the size of the
dose easily can i've adjusted to the
needs of the person taking it. Not
too much, but just enough thorough
ly to relieve constipation.
Black-Draught is credited with
leaving the digestive tract more able
to continue elimination, regularly,
every day. Be sure to try it!

HOSPITAL IS TAXED
BY WRECK INJURED
Great Number of Crashes
Occurring Frequently in
This Territory

What appeared to be a steadily in
creasing number CT automobile acct
dents in this section is having a ten
dency to tax the facilities of Maria
Parham hospital here, so much SO
that several times recently every ICED
has been taken and cots had to be
provided for the care Of patients.
Sunday a week ago seven wreck in
juries were carried to the hospital
from a single accident. In less than
"a hours over the weekend just pass
ed five or six more were taken to the
hospital suffering with injuries re-
ceived in three motor crashes.
Increased demand is also being
made on the facilities of the hospital
through its ever broadening scope of
service as more and more persons are
being brought here for treatment
from the surrounding territory
These growing demands for greater
hospital facilities in Henderson have
made the question of the enlargement
of Maria Parham hospital a serious
and pressing one, and the problem is
now receiving the attention and con-
sideration of responsible authorities
directly or indirectly connected with
the hospital.
Doctors and nurses have been great
ly concerned and more or less alarm
ed by the growing number of wreck
injuries that are being brought in. 1t
is a rare exception that a weekend
passes without one or more persons
being brought in for treatment for in
iurieS received in some kind of auto
mobile wreck.

BACK TAXES TOTAL
NOW ABOUT $1,000
Mr.. Adams Says Some 500
or More Garnisheed on
Old Accounts

G.. w. Adams, county tax collector
said today since he took over the re-
sponsbility Of collecting back taxes
owed the county prior to 1885, he had
received slightly in excess of $500
He said something over 500 indivi-
duals had been garn.sheed for old ac-
counts.
The county commissioners ordered
this procedure in order to clear up
items due to the county for one or
more years. The funds came from re-
deemed or a final judgment given.
1t is expected that some thousands
more of back taxes can be realized
by the pressing of arrearages, and
that is one of the reason why the of

insufficient adequately to support the work of protecting and devel- cping these resources. The de- ficiency is made up from Federal appropriations, and it would seem difficult for the Territory to secure the necessary funds from general Territorial taxation.
 The appropriation for the fiscal year 1936-37 for the enforcement of the Alaska Game Law was $780, 798, the largest appropriation that has been made for this purpose since the commission came into existence in 1925. The commission for the same period realized re- turn of $28,000 from the various licenses issued pursuant to the AL aska Game Law and from fines and forfeitures.

 Tt is obvious therefore that un- less the Federal appropriation is continued for expenditure by Ter ritorial officials, exploitation and decimation of the wildlife resources of Alaska must logically follow the enactment of H. R. 1863. In addi- tion the department, through the Bureau of Biological Survey, is at this time seriously considering the establishment of a research unit at Juneau, Alaska, one primary pup1se of the unit being to serve as guide in formulating and carrying out approved wildlife management plans, thus further strengthening the protection, con- servation and perpetuation of the wildlife resources of the Territory"

I'll be flying again myself, soon of course," said Percy Hubbard here this morning as he sat in the lobby of the Gastineau Hotel await ing the departure of the PAA Elec- tra on which he was to fly to Fair banks this afternoon.
 Pilot Hubbard, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. T. C. Hubbard, arrived in Juneau from Seattle on board the steamer Alaska and hur- ried right through to his home in Fairbanks, where he will mark time until he can discard the crutches and foot brace that now are the last reminders of his crack-up last sum- |mer. And I'll soon be able to dis card them,' Pilot Hubbard added T rather think I'll be flying ship again yet this year"
 Pilot Hubbard's flight back to- ward the day when he will again be fit to fly has been such long steady uphill grind that he had grown almost resigned to the situa- tion and learned to take things easily. but now, with the day fast drawing nearer, he feels he cannot just sit quietly and wait for it to arrive
 The itch to fly is getting him.
 After a long pediod of convales- cence at Fairbanks, Pilot Hubbard and his mother went south to &c., attle about three months ago. Fol- lowing an operation on his injured foot. Pilot Hubbard spent good part of his stay in Seattle with that member bottled up in big plaster cast.

Sport
 Stunts

When Long John Woodruff Pittsburgh's Olympic and Nationa | A.A.U. G00-lnctcr champion, took an afternoon to play around witf Glenn Cunningham, Arc h ie Sar Romani, Gene Venzke and the oth. CT milers. Elroy Robinson of tht San Francisco Olympic Club stepped out and created new world mark for Woodruff's favorite distance , the half mile.
 Robinson spirited two laps around the track on Randalls Island, New York, in 1:496 to erase the mark of l:49.8 set by Ben Eastman al Princeton in 1894. Robinson ac- tually sprinted all the way. That's the way he seems to travel. He k racer, not a runner. He is built more like wrestler than a track athlete His every stride bespeaks power
 i, To Robinson the new mark means more than world record. It means ! that his comeback is complete. Ht was rated the top half-miler of the world in 1885, when he toured Flu
 rope without suffering a defeat after winning National AAU ano National collegiate titles. He created new mark for the 1000 meter TUT on the tour.
 In the spring of 1886, in a race against Cunningham at the Drake relays, he broke an ankle. Witt that fall went his hopes of winning a place on the Olympic team. He came back to the races last winter He won the National AAU 1000 meter indoor title on the Mad ison Square Garden track. Tn May of this year he lowered the world mark for the 1,000-yard run te 2:09.7, three tenths of second be- low the figure held by Luigi Bee cali of Italy.
 Robinson's new half-mile mark appears safe only so long as no one presses John Woodruff to the point that better figure will be nec- essary. Long John merely runs fast enough to win. And it is pretty well established that he is capable of beating any of the current crop of half-miler aces-including Rob- inson. In their only previous meet ing Woodruff beat Robinson in convincing fashion to win the Ma tional 800-meter title
