NATURE, IS KILLER, TWICE
DEADLY AS WAR WEAPONS
LONDON, Sept., 29, (&)—Old
Mother Nature is about twice as
efficient in disabling mankind as
the most scientific weapons, ac
cording to the British Medical
Service.
Disease caused two-thirds of
the more than 11,000,000 casual
ties suffered by British forces in
the war.
There were nearly half a mil
lion cases of malaria in Macedon
ia and more than six times as
many men died of malaria than
were killed in action or died of
wounds.
Cnelera md typhus in Egypt
and Mesopotamia did their bit,
and common ailments added
thousands to the hospital lists.
! Of the sick and injured, 93 per
cent eventually returned to some
form of duty, as against 82 per
cent of the wounded.
The surprisingly low figures for
mortality from gas are accounted
for by the fact that many gassed
were listed as killed in action
More than 90 percent of gas vic
tims got back into the war.

KOYUKIIK IS LOOKING
FORWARD GOLD HQIIL
Despite sub-normal rainfall dur
ing the summer months production
of gold in the Koyukuk for 1931
will be substantially above that of
the previous year, according to the
Fairbanks News-Miner.
This is accounted for by the fact
that the Wiseman camp has ex
perienced a revival of winter opera
tions. Last winter’s work, per
formed chiefly on the Hammond
River on a limited scale, yielded
very satisfactory results.
This fall about half a dozen
outfits are preparing to work all
winter and their efforts are prac
tically sure to bing the old camp, j
which has been a steady producer
since the early days, back into the
limelight.

Genuine "BULL” DURHAM Tobacco at 5^ marked the entrance of my father,
Percival S. Hill, into the Tobacco business. For 14 years he was President of The
American Tobacco Company. The fine quality and popularity of "BULL” DURHAM
were always subjects of great pride to him. Therefore, it is particularly gratifying to
us to offer this important saving and service to the American
public at this time.
