WAKE UP YOUR
LIVER BILE—
WITHOUT CALOMEL
i And You’ll Jump Out of Bed in
the Morning Rarin’ to Go
If you feel bout and sunk and the world
looks punk, don’t swallow a lot of salts,
minora! water, oil, laxative candy or chewing
gum and expect them to make you suddenly
sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
For they can’t do it. They only move the
‘boweis and a mere movement doesn't pet at
the cause. The reason for your down-and-out
ieeling is your liver. It should pour out two
(pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
If this bile is not flowing freely, your food
doesn’t digest. It just decays in the bowels.
Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a
thick, bad taste and your breath is foul,
<*kin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head
achts and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned.
It takes those good, old CARTER'S
LITTLE LIVER P1LI,S to get these two
pcunds of bile flowing freely and make you
feel “up and up.” They contain wonderful,
harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing
when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Cart iEs
Little Liver Pills. I,ook for the name Carter's
little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent a
substitute. ' wi 1W1 C. M- Co.

NEW FISH NET TREATMENT
SEEK IS I MONEY SIVER
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 6.
(iP)—The Bureau of Fisheries has
found a way, it says, for commer
cial fishermen to save millions of
I dollars annually.
Savings are now possible, says
Commissioner Henry O’Malley, thru
treatments developed by the Bureau
which are expected to double the
life of heavy types of fish nets and
in many instances to double the
strength of the twine.
Heavy nets, which at present give
average service of about one and
one-half years, are given length
ened life through application of
toxic dyes to the cotton during
thread manufacture and use of a
specification coal tar for mechan
ical protection to the webbing.

TO KEEP RIVER AWAY
“River Stay Away From My Door,’’
was recently broadcast from KFQD
at the request of Mrs. Fred Fred
rikson at Nushagak, in dedication
to Bill Worth and family at Eacock,
Bill Anderson at Dillingham, sev
eral friends at Snag Point and the
bunch at the cannery at Clark’s
Point. Mrs. Fredrikson said she
thought this musical selection
would be appreciated because they
are lucky, out there in the spring
and fall, if the tides do not send
the river into their doors. It was
an appeal to the river to stay away.
A lively discussion attended the
introduction of a resolution at a
1 recent meeting of the Ketchikan
| Chamber of Commerce providing
' protests against the placing of a
! sales tax on salmon canned in Al
iaska, says the Ketchikan Chronicle.
While sentiment appeared to be
in favor of the resolution, consid
erable agitation was voiced to re
fer the matter to the executive
committee. After motions and
amendments and substitute mo
tions had been introduced, reject
ed or withdrawn, a motion to refer
the matter to the committee with
out power to act was defeated by
a majority vote.
Immediately afterwards, a mo
tion to refer the matter to the exe
cutive committee with power to act
was passed unanimously.

; EASES HUNTERS'WORK
CHADRON, Neb., April 6. (A3)—
What chance has the poor coyote
when A. H. Watson and D. T. Skiles
get after him with their ski-plane?
Armed with shotguns, these men
| natrol the snow-covered Nebraska
! prairies in search of coyotes, val
j uable for their pelts as well as for
bounties.
They swoop down on their prey,
giving it “both barrels,” and are
able, by virtue of skis attached to
their landing-gear, to land, load
the carcass into the plane, and go
| on with the hunt.
' In three days of this sort of hunt
ing in sub-zero weather, they
► bagged 12 pelts in a couple of hours
l flying each day. They receive an
- average of $6 each for the pelts.
The mail boat MS Discoverer,
s Heinie Berger, master, left port
s Thursday for Iliamna and Anchor

SALMON PUCK OF flliSKA
IS HALF OF THE WORLD
The Department of Commerce
announces that packers in the
United States supplied 75 per cent
of the world supply of canned sal
mon during 1931.
The total pack for the United
States was 9,018,121 cases. Of this
amount Alaska contributed more
than half, or 5,403,811 cases- Pa
cific Coast States packed a total
of 1,336,234 cases, or about one
fourth as much as Alaska.
The total pack of the United
States last year was 14 per cent:
below that of 1930 when the United
States supplied 8 per cent of the
world total.

Word has been received by the
Lighthouse Service at Ketchikan
that Captain W. C. Dibrell, super
intendent, is now enroute from
Washington, D. C., having attend
ed a conference of superintendents
from lighthouses which met in the
new Department Commerce build
ing there, reports the Ketchikan
Chronicle
' At this meeting of superintend
ents from the 18 lighthouse dis
tricts, matters pertaining to radio
beacons were discussed as well as
more effective means of maintain
ing other types of navigation aids.
An outstanding feature of the dis
cussions was the consideration of
many types of automatic appa
ratus applicable to lights on shore
and also to buoys. The devices
pointed to the replacement at
many stations of the earlier types
of oil burning lamps in favor of
electricity, acetylene gas and va
porized oil.
Three new radio beacons to aid
shipping, one at Sandusky, Ohio, ,
one at West Quoddy Head, Maine,
and the other at Cape Decision,
Alaska, have just been announced
by the Lighthouse Service.
Development of radio beacons
and their establishment adjacent
to all the Important ports of the
country has taken place within the
comparatively short period of 10
years. 4 *
