SWEEP OUR OWN DOOR YARD
The old adage “If each In-fort* his
door would sweep the street would
soon lie clean," Is particularly appli
cable t< every one. If each man who
reads this article would set lvis owu
house in order and attend strictly to
his own business Alaska would be in
good shape speedily.
Instead of this a large proportion
of the towns of the territory are wor
ry iiiK over what the other town has
sot or is going to get. and neglects
its own door yard.
As soon as a problem arises in Al
aska that problem becomes an indi
vidual problem for each and every
town in the territory. Each pulls
for itself irrespective of damage done
to its neighbor.
If the citizens of each town in the
Third Division would elect a represen
tative business man to meet repre
sentative business men from other
towns to talk over matters of com
mon interest worry would quickly
spread her wings and soar to other
realms, in any event we would get
closer together .,nd quit foolishly

ITCHING RASH

Burned Dreadfully. Lost
Rest. Cuticura Heals.
I had an itching rash on my back
and shoulders which was very irri
tating and tiresome. It kept spread
ing all over my body and broke out
into sore eruptions. They caused
itching, and when I would rub or
press them they burned dreadfully
and I could not enjoy a night’s rest.
“I had given up hope when I
tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and it was about four to six weeks
before I was healed, after using eight
cakes of Soap and three boxes of
Ointment.” (Signed) Miss Marie
