CALLS IT
City Council Provides fur
Municipal Election
The city council passed the resolu
tion* calling the city election, appoint'
ing election officers and fixing the poll
ing places, last n'ght. The election
will be held c-st Tuesday, on the date
fixed by congress. H. D. Clark, E. A.
Murphy and A, McGee will be the elee
t ion judges, and H. F. Taylor and F. A.
Callarman, the clerks. The polling
plac# will be at the municipal hull, on
Fifth avenue.
All the members of the council were
present at the meeting last night and
Mayor King presided.
In addition to calling a city election
the council gave some time to the con
sideration of the ordinance granting a
franchise to the Alaska General Elec
tric Company to conduct its telephone
business. It seemed to be the general
idea that the franchise should provide
a maximum rate for a limited number
of telephones for the city, T1 e ordi
nance was sent back to the committee
on judiciary and elections to be amend
ed ij accordance with that suggestion.
The maximum rate agreed upon was
#2,50 per phone per month.
The municipil magistrate reported
the collection of {104 80 for the month.
The committee on water works was
authorized to provide pipes for water
for drinking and fire purposes in the
public school building at a cost not to
exceed $50.
A petition was presented from resi
dents of the north end favoi ing amend
ing the bicycle ordinance, permitting
the riding of wheels on the side w? lies
north ;of Eighth or Ninth avenue. It
was referred to the committee on judic
iary and elections.

You cannot afford to grow old.
In these days of strenuous competition
It Is necessary to maintain, as long as !
possible ones youthful appearance.

talning a luxurious growth of hair.
The presence of Dandruff indicates the j
presence of a burrowing gt rm which
lives and thrives on the roots of the '
hair until it causes total baldness. |

TO FIX IT
Hellcat-* Will ht> Improved
This Year
Government improvement of Hell
gate, the most aggravating point to
navigators on t.he Upper Yukon, will
begin at once. A large stone jetty, or |
wall, will be built w.th hopes of pro- 1
tectiog the piling and other work done :
there against the ice which has gath
ered in the river.
Work in pariicu'ar will be done on
Shaler's chute, and it is hoped to be
able to make the wall withstand the
impact of the strongest ice jams, and
thus to confine all the waters to one
channel. Heretofore the water has 1
spread through many channels at Bell- j
gate, making the river so shallow there |
that steam-rs have found great difficul- ,
ty in navigating the place.
T. A. Dixon, of Whitehorse, will [
have charge of the work.

The Children Enjoy
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment
which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that
healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When
a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and
strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would
sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy
itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and
parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is? Syrup
of Figs? and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by
fathers and .mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally
without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually,
without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old
time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so
carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood,
strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not
needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only
the simple, pleasant and geatle? Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative
principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our
original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do
not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to
increase their profits. Please to remember, the full name of the Company?
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.? is printed on the front of every package. In
.. order to get its beneficial
effects it is always neces
sary to buy the genuine
only. For sale by all re
liable druggists.
