If President Wilson never does
anything else than throw Into The 1
dlvard somo of the fossilized, old '
cuatoir.s wtiKli ha\t grown around '
and rhaped tl.e actions of forTtr '
presidents, he will lave deserved
the designation fo a great and brave
man. WiUon doesn't seem to have
any reverauce for senseless customs,
simply because they are old. Men
are so ruled aud hampered by cus
tom that it really takes a brave per
aou to ignore conventionality. What
"thoy" do has alwuys beeu the
guide for what we shall do.
Mr. Wilson's actions will give an
Impetus to independence in
thought and deed. Hereafter, be
cause someono serves a fourteen
course dinner that nobody wants, we
will not feel bound to duplicate It
everytlme a friend calls. We will
have the president's example to back
us up iu acting natural and serving
modestly without display and sense

WANTS MORE HATCHERIES
AND FISH REGULATION'
J R. Heckman of Ketchikan. Siip
erlntendant of the Fortman salmon
hatchery, manager of the Alaska
Packers Association Interests lu
?outheasteru Alaska, part owner In
private canneries, and a fisherman
?f twenty yoars exporlonce in Alas
ka, appeared before tbo joint commit
tee of tbe legislature Wednesday and
talked against tbo abolition of the
i'l3h trap. Ho said:
"I Just want flvo minutes, genile
rni-ti, to explain the position I took
Monday night, which seems to have
been misunderstood by some.
"I was asked what I would do If
( had absolute control of the fishing
Industry and wanted to protect it
for myself In Southeastern Alaska. 1
replied 'step all fishing within ono
mile. I do not think that this would
be fair to all concerned, as conditions
are different In the different local
ities. but 1 do believe that the same
law which now applies to the red
salmon streams with patrolmen e
nough to see that tbo law Is com
plied with. With this doue and more
hatcheries established, I think we
should have no fear of the fish bo
lng dopleted. Regarding tho ter
ritory to the westward I know very
Halo. There is no question but htat
conditions tnero aro entirely differ
ent from ours, and different regu
lations would bo required. I also
believe that the government should
have men located at tho various
streams to kill off tho enemy of the
salmon, such as bullheads, trout,
birds, etc. I believe this is as es
sential as uro tho hatcheries.
"I want to say that in tho Ketchi
.cnti district the pink salmon show
tittle or no signs of decroase, such
decrease being principally in the red
salmon streams that wore fenced in
<wrly days,
' Prior to 1911 tbe fishing could
no' be noticed, as the packs were
small.
No question, gentlemen, but that
If one-third of the fish reach the
".pawning ground tho results would
be as great as though they all reach
ed It. The spawning grounds in mos
of the streams are limited. When
the early fish come along and dig
a hole In tho gravel beds and de
posit their spawn and cover thom
up the later fish come along and go
through the same pcrformanco, dig
ging up the first dopo6lt and leaving
it exposed to the enemy. This us
ually keeps up for three or four
A-eeks.
"This, gentlemen, is why 1 say
that one-third of the fish will givo
ei .tally as good results as though
al. fish reached their spawning
grounds."
For Many Years. On Thigh. Also

Lebanon. O. ? "Mr enema utartod on
my thigh with a (mail pimple. It alio came
on my aralp> It began to Itch and I began
to scratch. For eighteen
or twenty years I could not
tell what I pawed through
with that awful Itching.
I would acratch until tho
blood would Kt&k through
my underwear. and I could
n't udk to my Minds on tho

Itching ni so Intense I could not alcep after
once In bed and warm. I certainly suffered
torment with that eczema for many years.
" I chaaed after everything I ever heard of:
