How the Government co-operates

demonstrated in the following cable

There can no longer be any doubt
] about the Government’s position on
hazardous conditions to the westward.
In summer during ideal weather, lrom
three to five cutters are stationed at i
Unalaska and vicinity. During winter
months, when available assistance is
a vital necessity to the settler for
1 health service, and to the mariner in
I many ways, these boats are with
! drawn. Why? Does not the expense
J of maintaining these boats go on the|
! year round? Would it cost the gov
| eminent any more to keep one of
these boats to the far west waul,
around Unalaska, and one in the vi
cinity of Seward and Kodiak duiing
the winter months when they are.
mostly needed?
Uncle Sam keeps five cutters to the
| westward, protecting seals, ana when
| the seals go south, so do the cutters.!
i This is a country where travel de
] pends on small boats. Navigators are
forced to land on the barren coast toj
' the westward, and epidemics break j
! forth frequently. The need for medi-j
; cal assistance and supplies is uigeilt.i
It is too bad we are not seals.
The Seward Chamber of Commerce,
’ the American Red Cross and the Gov
j ernor of Alaska have all asked for this
] service. We may get it yet.

Importance of It? 1
Backache is only a simple thing at;
first; .
But if you find ’tis from the kidneys
That serious kidney troubles may
follow;
That dropsy or Bright's disease,
may be the fatal end,
You will be glad to know the follow-'
ing experience.
’Tis a convincing swicmcui.
Mrs. George Carlile, Elnia St., Mon ,
tesano, Wash., says: “I was in bad
shape with kidney disorder. I had,
pains in the small of my back and 1
found great difficulty in getting out of
bed. My kidneys acted irregularly
and I was so nervous I shook with
fear. I wras continually tired and
lacked ambition. I read about Doan’s
Pills and three’boxes drove the pain
out of my back and put my kidneys to
acting right. I felt years younger and
my nerves were eased.”
