Jack Varcleen, “The Alaska
Kid” who will some day in the
near future bring the Territory
a great deal of favorable public
ity by reason of his pugilistic
ability, depar ted for J u
neau where he will go into train
ing for a battle against a South
eastern Alaskan favorite, the lat
ter part of this month
Vardeen, otherwise known as
Fred Fairman, has been attend
ing the Anchorage high school
but owing to his source of in
come—a boxing club—having fai- ■
len through, he was compelled!
to leave school. He hopes to re-1
new his schooling in the East.
From Juneau, the clever 116
pounder, goes to Ketchikan then
to Vancouver. He expects to be
joined within a few weeks by
“Boston” Jimmy Carroll former
lightweight of national fame,
who will manage him. Together
they will ttavel toward Toronto,
Canada, Vardeen’s former home.
Vardeen has a world of confi
dence in Carroll and also confi- j
dent that under his tuition he i
will some day scale the heights
where champions repose.
His departure from Seward
was marked by the best wishes
from his many local friends and
admirers of the Alaskan young
ster whose heart is wrapped up
in his chosen line of endeavor.
His last conquest was a victory
aver the local lad, Ennis Nick
?roff.
NO CASE
The abatement case on Water
! Street, Ketchikan, owned by Mr.
, and Mrs. Jack Sarseth, was denied
by U. S. District Judge Justin W.
| Harding, says the Ketchikan j
| Chronicle. His honor held that the
I possession of liquor under the na
| tional prohibition law for personal
j use was not sufficient evidence for
j abatement.

V_^77/e Oldest Profession
EVEN in the days when Moses was tending the
flocks of his fatherdndaw at the foot of Mount
Horeb, there was in existence a collection of formulas
(preserved in what is now known as the Ebers Papyrus),
calling for many drugs in common use today. Pharmacy
has been referred to as the oldest profession, as in those
early days the pharmacist was the physician, the
chemist, and the botanist as well.
In these days of specialisation, the professions of
Medicine and Pharmacy are still closely allied. In is the
special province of the physician to diagnose disease
and to prescribe for it. The pharmacist must have an
intimate knowledge of all the modern agents which the
physician prescribes, a knowledge which he can only
gain through long years of education and training. But
in order to make a living the druggist must sell mer
chandise as wTell as professional service. Only the
neighborhood which shows an appreciation of this fact
can hope to support a drug-store with a well-equipped
prescription department, ready for service when sick
ness comes.
