checks and neck exhibit unsightly hollows.
It's a I it) oat certain that your nets out aya
tem it at the bottom of the trouble. You
can eat three, yet four, substantial, «fat
. producing meals, a day, but as Ion* a*
• your stomach has an insufficient supply of
nerve force this food you eat will pass out
of the body with little if any benefit.
; In order to assimilate properly the nour
ish Ing food you eat and convert It fr.to
healthy tissue and fat the nerves that con

Untold Wealth in
Public Lands U. S.
Says Fall Report
■Washington, P.ec. 6—An untapped
■wealth estimated at a minimum of
_ one hundred and fifty billions of dol
lars Is contained In the more than
400,000,000 acres of land still held In
the public domain. Secretary Fall of
the Interior Department says In his
first annual report, made public to
day.
Coal and oil form the bulk of this
wealth, the total coal deposits being
estimated at 110,000,000.000 tons and
the oil deposits at 1,325,000,000 barrels
with nn additional 50,000,000,000 bar
rels of shale oil.
From the development of these re
sources the federal government. Sec
retary Fall says, would realise by
way of royalties, rentals, etc., a total
of $12.3S7,500,000 divided as follows:
Coal in public ownership: Bitu

Timber $580,000,000. Other resources
$145,000,000.
“History is now repeating itself,”
says Secretary Fall, “and after a
period of unlimited expenditure in
war measures and In preparing for
war, In the creation of a navy. etc., it
has been found necessary' to curtail
such expenditures to the very utmost.
I am justified In calling attention to
the fact that the department of in
terior—the homo department—is fully
equipped and prepared to do Its part
in the development of those great
natural resources which must be so
developed if the tax burden upon this
and future generations is to be borne
at all.”
Secretary Fall devotes a consider
able part of his report to reclamation
projects and in this connection he
urges that “an affirmative strong pol
icy bo announced by the executive."
"The necessary advances can he
made from year to year without be
coming an excessive burden upon ti c
taxpayers.” the, secretary says, “and
as has already been proven by ex
perience, one year's crop upon one
acre of reclaimed irrigated ground
will be of a value largely in excess of
the total amount expended in render
ing such acre productive. Vnder th“
present system, or any proposed
legislation, of course the cost of such
project will be repaid and meanwhile
the added wealth yielded will lighten
the tax burdens upon all the taxpay
ers of the country.”
Referring to •pending bins providing
for further reclamation activities, Sir.
Fall says that if they are enacted ad
ditional opportunity for labor will be
offered the unemployed and at the
same time homes made for those who
desiro them.
“This department," he adds, “is
thoroughly organized with sufficient
force and is ready to carry on any
work which such an enlightened
[ policy as suggested might ho assigned
[ to jt in reclamation or other develop
ment of our national resources.”
| Discussing the situation in Alaska
the interior secretary declares the rr
j sources of that territory and “the
'wealth to be drawn therefrom in the
future are almost incalculable.”
I “There are 21,000,000 acres of lands
in forests In that territory," he says,
“and many millions of acres upon the
public domain upon which settlers
may depend for mining timbers, lum
| her for houses, etc. There tfhe mil
lions of acres of land fitted for agri
culture and the agricultural resources
are such that a large population can
be supported in Alaska without the
importation of foodstuffs from the
United States or other countries.
“Alaska’s resources have not been
developed for various reasons, among
others the lack of transportation and
largely because of the fact that these
resources are administered through
some 3S bureaus and various depart
ments of this • government. In my
opinion authority to administer the
laws relative to Alaska's natural re
sources must be vested in some one
department of this government that
the activities charged with the ad
ministration of such laws may be
properly coordinated.

Perfection Heater Content
WHEN winter storms come, a
touch of extra heat is often
needed. On the side where the
wind blows it’s nearly always
drafty and chilly. This winter—
w herever the wind searches—put
a Perfection Oil Heater in its path.
It will keep the whole room up
to “comfort-point” temperature*
The cost of this extra heat is small,
and its use enables you to keep
a slower fire in the main heating
plant. In many instances the
Perfeo|ion will soon pay for itself
by the coal it saves.
Millions of homes use Perfection
Oil Heaters. Ask your dealer
to show you one.
For best results use Socony kerosene.

The funeral services were held from
his late home in Clinton at 1 o'clock
on Sunday. The P.ev. Arthur Jones
of Winthrop Center, a friend of the
family, conducted the services. Trie
beautiful flowers boro silent testimony
to the esteem in which Mr. Pratt was
held by all who knew him.

and Sarah (Hunter) Pratt. His an
restors on his mother's side wfere
■Bnong the first settlers, the town
"hearing the name of Hunter’s Milis
for lover half A century. On his fath
er's side Mr. Pratt also inherited the
blood of New England stock, and was
that type of hardy, conservative citi
zen that characterized the early set
tlers. Throughout his long and busy
life Mr. Pratt's name lias become a
synonym with all who knew him for
industry and honor. He never liked
the change from bushels to" pounds in
weighing farm prbduce because it was
not as easy to give his jiatrons “good
measure.” |
As a young man Mr. Pratt went to j
Massachusetts where he met Delia
Dewey of Huntington -whom he
brought to Clinton as his bride. In !
1884 they purchased one of the best I

Many sigmficant and violent

Agatao Lanca, a naval officer much
admired for bravery In action, said
in his speech over Oranjo's' coffin:
“1 swear, dear friend by your corpse,

he did not come there in his uniform
on which the Cross of War was
pinned, because it was stained with
blood.
Other officers who belong' to po

even some who took part in the revo

assassinated Premier, that they
would not wear their uniforms until
the guilty were punished and the
Portuguese navy purged of assassins.
A great number of naval and army

A GIFT
\
Yes, a gift—
from your Heating
Engineer
you act now, then on Christmas Eve—
When you tip-toe in where the babies are
asleep, you will find each room perfectly
warmed by its own American Radiator.
You will touch the hot-water faucet; it
will flow with water that really is hot.
You will slip into the living-room where
ARCOLA stands, sending out its warmth to
those rddiators and to the kitchen tank besides.
* Could there be any more perfect Christ
mas gift?
ARCOLA is a gift.. It costs little at the
outset (surprisingly little) and by the end of
the third winter it has paid for itself in the
fuel saved.
Who offers this gift? Your Heating Engi
neer whose store is near your home. By
his skill and science he has made America
the best warmed, most comfortable nation
in the world.
See him this week and let him explain his
gift—how quickly ARCOLA can be installed
and how it will bring to your home the same
perfect hot-water warmth which the larger
heating plants of this Company give to
mansions, cathedrals and even the White
House itself.
\
The red and yellow card
at the right is the sign of a
Heating or Sanitary Engi
neer (you used to call him
Steamfitter or Plumber)
who can show you Arcola.
Look for it in hi3 window.
It will pay you to consult
him twice a year as you
do your Doctor or Dentist.
His report on your heating
and plumbing cost3 little.
It may save much.
