his stock of foxes became so large
that he found it necessary to ship a
large quantity of wire fencing in from
the outside and is now engaged in en
larging his corrals.
I When Mr. King started the fox
raising business he had only u few
reil fox and a couple of cross foxes.
He now has eight silver grey adults
three of which are nearly pure black.
In fact, fur experts pronounce one of
the foxes us being the most Valuable
ever seen in interior Alaska.
The Koyukuk is a good fox coun
try. Mr. King is therefore adding to
his stock by trapping the animals as
well as rising them. He now has
three litters of silver grey pups. One
of the most valuable of the pups how
ever was killed by its mother.

First Made.
Four years ago Mr. Wint, testified
to complete relief from kidney ills.
He now says that there has not been
the slightest return of the trouble.
Kidney sufferers will take a deal of
comfort in this man's statement. it
proves that Doan's Kidney Fills can
be depended upon.
Joseph Wint, retired blacksmith, 06S
High St., Salem, Ore., says: "My back
and kidneys bothered me. My kid
0
neys were disordered and my back
seemed to lose strength. Short use
of Doan's Kidney Fills soon put me
in good condition.” (Statement given
December 12, 1912.) On April 11, 1916,
Mr. Wint said: "I haven't had any
kidney trouble now for several years
and I give Doan's Kidney Fills credit
for bringing such lasting results.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Fills—the same that
Mr. Wint has twice publicly recom
mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Prop.,
