SIGN COST OF EGGS
AND BUTTER EXPLAINED
_
WASHINGTON. That the price of
eggs and butter have gone skyrocking
is directly due to the Increased cost of
living for hens and cows. A je.ir ir
so ago a dozen of eggs could be pro
duced for 20 cents, but now that
chicken feed has doubbled in cost, one
can only exm -t i consequent 50 per
cent increase in the price of otlicial
spherlods of albumen and yolk. Ditto
rotm and board for cows and there
is a resultant tax on the consumer of
butter.
Biddy and Brindle should not be
blamed. The one is as willign as ever
and likes to cackle as much as ever
and the other can produce as much
milk as ever. But Biddy is reticent
about laying if she is hungry, or has
had her head cut oft' and been put
into a pot and Brindle won’t give j
down satisfactory ciuuntities of milk
rich in butter fat unless she is prop
erly fed.
The United States bureau of statis
tics has issued several statements
showing that the amount of butter
and eggs stored in the country at the
present time is far below that of pre
ceding yeras. The immediate cause of
this condition officials any, is that
herds of dairy cows and laying hens
are lining greatly decreased owing to
the increased cost of provender, and
also from the fact that a larger profit
is to lie made from raising other
things of the farm.

Shop, $f.00 per dozen. Phone Black 5.
CHILE’S FIVE NEW SUBS TO
USE PANAMA CANAL
WASHINGTON. Five new sub
marines will shortly leave the Char
leston navy yard for Chile, via the
Manama canal.
The divers have an interesting his
tory. They are half of a lot of ten
which were built for Great Bri» i n
soon after the war in Europe started.
They were constructed in the Quincy.
Mass., yards of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, and the engines anil in
terior fittings were later supplied by
the Electric Boat Company.
The five submersibles first complet
ed crossed the Atlantic early in 1915,
but the rest of the order was held up
in American waters by the Washing
ton government on the ground that
the delivery of the vessels would be
a violation of the neutrality of this
country. V. J. Bryan, then secretary
of state, was mainly responsible for
the sr.mil taken by the government.
When war was declared in July,
1914, two super-dreadnoughts were
under construction in English yards
for the CJiilean navy. They are big
vessels—ships of the first line—were
promptly seized by the English gov
ernment, and are now doing active
' service with the grand fleet in the '
North sen.
As partial amends for having com
mandeered the warships that were to
have been tin* nendous of Chile's 1
navy, <Inat Britain has given the
five underwater craft to the Latin
American republic, and Chilean crews
are now en route to Charleston I"

NEW PORT OF COLUMBIA’S WEST
COAST TO OPEN NEW FIELDS
WASHINGTON. Tho Columbian
congress haH passed a law providing
for the survey of the bny of Malga
with a view of spending several mil
lions on deepening the harbor, building
wharves, and constucting an entirely
new port should the commission now
investigating the problems find that
tho sunltary difficulties of the pres
cut port on the hay—Buenaventura
—cannot be overcome without the ex
penditure of prohibitive surrts of
money, according to consular reports
made public by the state department.
The extension of the Paicflc rail
way from the nearest station to the
site selected for the new port is pro
vided, and authorization is also given
for contracting a loan of $5,o00,UU0 m
a foreign country to carry on the
whole Malaga bay work, the loan to
In- secured by the customs receipts
ot the port.
The permanent sanitation of Uuen
aventura or the building of a new
port, with the other works projected,
would open up a large and important

BOASTS OF WHALE INDUSTRY
CHICAGO, Ben Nygren who with
Pis partner, San Torkelson, Is making
a success of the white whale industry
at Cape Nome, is in town, reports the
Gaily News. He says that white
whales have been plentiful nad that
the coming month will be the biggest
of the season. The white whale are
in comparatively poor condition this
season owing to the fact, he believes,
that a great many killer whales are
chasing them. Bast summer Mr. Ny
girn witnessed the death of a white
whale off Cape Nome. A killer rushed
Into a school of white whales and
came up with one in his mouth.
At the white whale plant at Cape
Nome no part of the animal is wasted.
Hides, flesh, ail and bones are all
utilized, according to the "Nugget” of
that place. The hides bring a big
price and are made into the strongest
kind of leather. After the oil is ex
tracted the meat is dried and sold for
dog meat, he meat is good; tasting
much like beef. In Norway it is
eagerly sought after and Is sold as
"steer of the sea”.
The oil of the white whale is said
to excel the oil of any fish. Some of
the product now in a local store is
so clear and transparent that one can

' look through it and easily read a paper
held on the other side. It sells in
England at the remarkable price of
$500 a barrel. At Cape Nome long nets
are used to catch the white whale,
which average twelve or thirteen feet
in length. When entangled in the net
they are shot w’ith a rifle so as to In
jure skin ns little as possible. These
sea mammals are not at all ferocious.
They show light occasionally when In
the net, but when they are not angered
they are so docile that the hand may
be laid on them with safety. The food
of the white whale, as disclosed by the
content s of the stomach, is tom cood,
large codfish salmon, und an occasion
al crab. The bones are stacked to dry
and used as fertilizer. In Norway
the meat is canned like beef.

A BIT OF ADVICE
First—Don't Delay. Second—Don't Ex
periment.
If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest poor
ly and are languid in the morning; if
the kidney secretions are irregular
and unnatural In appearance, do not
delay. In such cases the kidneys often
n a help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble—they are
recommended by thousands. Can Al
aska ut'dent8 desire more convincing
proof than the following statement:
G. H. Behnke, 323 I.incoln St., Port
land, Ore., says: "Kidney trouble
clung to me for six months. I had
sharp pains in my kidneys and I found
it hard to turn in bed. Too frequent
action of my kidneys caused me to
rise up often at night. Donn’s Kidney
Pills cured me.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
cured Mr. Behnke. Foster-Milburn
