BOIL THE WATER.
While every precaution is being
taken to guard the Commission well
against contamination during the
approaching high water period, as
public health officer I advise the
boiling of all water to be used for
drinking and kitchen purposes wher
ever obtained I also advise against
the use of water taken from either
river for above purposes, at any
time, without boiling-.

The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, fanning, and
trapping that are unequaled in any
other section of Alaska.
Gold placers of known value, close
to Nenana. are producing annually sub
stantial amounts, and there are scores
of streams within the district on which
little or no prospecting has been done.
These streams, until a short time ago
ahnost inaccessible, are now easily
reached by means of the new Govern
ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon
will be the scene of much mining ac
tivity.
Farming in the Nenana district has
the advantage of a growing season fully
ten days longer than that of any other
section of Interior Alaska. There is
much desirable land in the district open
to homesteaders, and marketing possi
bilities are being expanded steadily.
Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana
and adjacent districts are noted for the
fine quality of their fur, and trappers
annually bring large numbers of pelts
to Nenana and receive for them higher
prices than are obtained for the average
furs of other districts.
Game of all kinds abounds in the
Nenana district, there are scores of
trout streams easy of access, and the
scenic wonders of the district are un
surpassed. The district is the natural
gateway to Mt McKinley National
Park, and close to Nenana may be
viewed the largest coal ledges in the
world.
Detailed information regarding the
resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

CONSTANTINOPLE. — The sul
tan, Mohammed VI, has issued an
imperial decree proclaiming May 1
as “marriage day" throughout Tur
key, in an effort to promote wed
dings and to arrest the decline in
the birthrate. This action was tak
en on the request of Hazim Bey,
minister of the interior, who as
cribes the decreased number of
births in Turkey to the frivolity of
young women.
In the sultan's decree, all en
gaged persons who have been un
able to marry earlier are urged to
do so on May 1. As an inducement,
no charges are to be made for mar
riages performed on that day,
guests at weddings are to make no
gifts, the first children of those
who wed on May 1 are to receive
the names of the children of the
sultan and to receive the gift of a
bracelet from the governor of the
province in which the child is born.
The sultan's son is named d’Er
toghroul and his daughters are Rou
kie and d’Ulvie.
The edict is especially directed to
the province of Broussa, in Ana
tolia. which attracted much unfa
vorable comment in the Moham
medan press because of its greatly
reduced birthrate and the tendency
of its population to violate the Mos
lem prohibition of the use of in
toxicating beverages. Government
officials allege that people of Ana
tolian villages, men and women
alike, indulge in what they call
“burning nights" of music and
feasting.
Indulgence in modern dancing has
aroused the protest of a member
of the chamber of deputies from
Anatolia, who has’ introduced a bill
authorizing officials to prevent wom
en from “participating in the antics
and capers of the ballroom.”
