A radio message from the goveriT
iimnt requesting information as to the
availability of air plane landing fields
in th<* vicinity of Nome. Council and
other points in this and other sections
of Western Alaska was received by the

UNFOPULAR LAW
CHS SLUMP
IN PENSIONS
Tlie revbed t< rritoHal pension law
conceived aiul put into operation* b>
the last legislature. has had the effec
of cutting down tlie pension roll, 01
the territory t<» a. very considorahl
extent, many of the old-timers v.h<
receive territorial assistance mule
the old law having lefn;*’ to cm
Untie to accept pcmdeiis under tli
new conditions imposed. The n-<v
law provides that all pensioners slml!
«lee*l their property t'* the te.iitory
l!te object of the objectionable provi
Hion being to eliminate irit|K>sters from
the pension roil.
As a matter of fact, and many mem
bers of the legislature are now willing
to admit it. the provision excludes
lyany worthy old-timers entitled to
pensions, and who object to*'deeding
away property which some day may
make them independently rich. Nearly
every old-timer owns more or less
mining ground of unproved value, and
the majority rtf them are reluctant to
part with It, confident that some day
they wltj^locate sthe pay or be able to
dispose of the ground to advantage
They need the pension money, but
they prefer to do without it rather
than surrender claims upon which
they have expended years of labor in
assessment work and prospecting.
Some ideal of the effect the law la
having may be gathered from a state
ment issued by Commissioner Heed
Heilig of Fairbanks. lie reports that’
the lesion checks received by him
for the January quarter numbered only
I eleven. Just half as many as were is
sued for distribution in the# Fairbanks
district before the new law was pass
ed. And It is reasonable to assume
that similar conditions prevail in
other sections of the territory.
Senator Dan Sutherland explained
the situation when he was in Xenana
recently, and expressed the belief that
the next legislature would eliminate
the objectionable provision from the

••I hav® never seen a medicine to j
equal Tanlac. and since I commenced I
taking it my troubles have been com
pletely overcome and I am now on- ,
Joying as good health as 1 ever did,”
says Mrs. Mary Brown who lives at!
4 Pavilion Barracks. Halifax, while,
talking to a Tanlac representative the1
“Since my health failed anont six
years ago." continued Mrs. Brown. "I i
have been trying to find a medicine cr|
treatment that would give me some!
relkf. and Tanlac is the only thing
that has done me any good at all. My
trouble began with a nervous break-1
down, and I gradually grew worse all
the time. I often hud nervous chills,
and would shake like a leaf, and wheu
these spells were over I would be
dreadfully weak. At times I had aw
ful fainting spells. I couldn't sle-p
well, and many nights I would hear
the clock strike every hour. I v^ts
so tired and exhausted every morn
ing that I hardly had strength enough
to get out of bed and dress myself.
My appetite was very poor and I lost
so much in weight that I looked like
a walking skeleton almost. I also
suffered from terrible nervous bend -
aches that would keep me in bed for
days at a time. Oh! I just hate t»
think of the awful suffering I under
went with those headaches. 1 finally
got so weak and run-down that if I
tried to walk around a little I would
exhausted I would hnv<
“The different medicines and t*-ent
mcntM 1 took didn't do me any good
at all. and I had become very much
discouraged over my condition. Then
I decided to try Tanlac, and the
thing that Impressed me with this
medicine was thnt the statements pub
lished in the papers were from people
right here at home who gave their
residence addresses. That convinced
me that Tanlac was alright and I
commenced taking It. Now the re
sult in my case is just like the other
folks jf.-ho used it and endorsed it.
My troubles have been completely
overcome, and I ant once more a*woll
woman, and like the rest of the peo
ple mentioned, I am glad to make a
fpublic statement giving Tanlac the
credit for it. Why shouldn't I ? It
brought me hack to health after
everything else I tried had failed, and
I think 1 would be very ungrateful if
I" even hesitated to give others who
suffer as I did the benefit of my ex
perience. I am not only glad to re
commend Tanlac now, hut as long as
I live I will praise it for building mo
up from a nervous wreck to a well,
happy* woman again. *'
