APPEXDICIT1S CURE
IS SIMPLE OXK
Chicago, Dec. 20 ? Dr. Albert
Adams, a prominent physician of
city, has made the startling announ
cement that he has discovered a
new and very successful method of
treatment in cases of appendicitis
which does away entirely with the
use of the knife. The doctor states
that he has experimented wit a scoiw
of cases and In every one of them
he has been able to effect a com
plete cure without removing the ap
pendix, or causing the patient either
pain or annoyance.
The treatment. In simple words,
consists of the kneading of certain
muscles and vertebrae in the region
of the appendix. The simple pres
sure on those certain parts of the
body, the discoverer declares, has
the effect of strengthening the sig
moid flexure, after which there is
no further danger f.-om attack.
The announcement of such a sim
ple remedy has resulted in attract
ing scores of sufferers to the of
fices of the physician, and In all of
the cases which he has treated, the
results appear to have been entirely
satisfactory
KlSH MARKET IX Jl'XEAU
SUPERSEDES SEATTLE MARKET
That Alaska fishermen are becom
ing independent of Seattle domin
ation is shown in the following ar
ticle taken from the Juneau Em
pire:
"Juneau's halibut fishing industry
has undergone a transformation
within the past two weeks. The
fishermen have emerged from a
condition of servitude to Seattle,
since they have been able to find
a market at home for the product of
their arduous and hazardous toil.
New life, and a new spirit have
been Injected into the business of
fishing, for the tollers of the sea
are now no longer at the mercy of
unscrupulous Seattle fish dealers.
They no longer are robbed. They
are not powerless as they were when
their catches found a market only
in the Puget Sound city.
"The making of Juneau a buying
center of the halibut Industry by a
Chicago company marks a distinctly
new departure and it should, and
will, stimulate its development in a
substantial manner.
' Mr. Brooks, who represents the
Chicago concern, expects to ship
out of the port of Juneau direct to
Chicago one huudred thousand lbs.
of fresh valibut every week, which
means the payment of about $7,500
weekly from one firm alone to local
fishermen ? or more than $30,000 a
month. And the fishermen get
their money here and are no longer
the victims of the selfish, dishonest
greed of Outside dealers to whom,
perforce, hitherto they were com
pelled to ship their product "
Mrs. G. G. Miller was taken with
a sudden attack of appendicitis and
removed to the White Pass hospital.
It Is reported today that she is im
proving and Indications are that sh?"
will be out within a few dayfe.

' f J I HERE do wo find strife and division f Why, IN HOMES
fl I B whore the husband and wife have not had mutual inter
ests, whore ffioy liave grown apart and one has outstripped
tlio other in development and is FORCED TO SEEK
COMPANIONSHIP OUTSIDE THE HOME.
What i9 this government that we women have been taught to think
of as something too remote from our interest#, so unrelated to the im
mediate personal preoccupations of our daily lives t
There are three great matters in whieh wc are all coneerned ? re
ligion, edueation and government In religion men and women
SHARE EQUALLY. Indeed, men sometimes are content that wo
men should do more than their share. In edueation it has come to
pass that both men and women participate EQUALLY, though that
was not always so.
BUT GOVERNMENT IS CONSIDERED AS MEN'S EXCLU
SIVE PROVINCE ? a limitation that has narrowed the lives of the
women, that has robbed the children and that has reacted most in
juriously upon the state. For with what matter* does government
concern itself? Why, with matters that touch INTIMATELY
HOME HAPPINESS AND HOME PROSPERITY, with laws and
regulations that guard and further human lives.
CERTAINLY EVERY WOMAN WILL CONCEDE THAT IN SO FAR
AS RAILROAD RATES AND TARIFFS AND TRUSTS AFFECT THE
COST OF LIVING IT IS SHE THAT MUST BEAR THE BRUNT.

conveniently located for operation
both summer and winter, and the
development work which is now be
ing done in a systematic manner,
shows good results. The indications
are that a producing mine of large
proportions will soon be In opera

against death at the hospital in Port
Gibbon Imprisoned under the same
load was Jack Noble, the well
known freighter, who now lies
buried In the little cemetery at Hot
Springs Both were caught under a
load of goods that tipped over near
Hot Springs Thursday, November;
21, and which was found by a musti
er the next day.
Noble left Hot Springs with a
load of goods for Tofly, and on
the way over he overtook Bernard
and asked him to ride with him on
the load, which was pulled by two
horses and two mules. When th?
loaded sled rame to a small cut-off,
made where a washout had removed
the original roadbed, the horwes
took the old road and the runners
struck the deep ruts. This action
caused the load to spill over and
then right itself partially. Noble
was completely burled by the load
and died within an hour. Bernard
was thrown far enough so that his
head protruded from th? bottom of
the load He was in this position
for 21 houts, when Joe Perrln came
along the trsil and spoke to the
horses. His voire was heard by
Bernsrd, who yell<>d feebly, but loud
enough for the m usher to hear
Perrin extricated Bernard and
then he managed to get out the
body of Noble. A team was sent
to the relief of the Injured man
from Tofty by Kelly * Anderson
He was taken to the springs by Tom
Davis, the freighter, and from there
to the hospital at Fort Olbbon.
