The nonappearance of additional c
cases of the influenza is tending to t
revive the hopes of local residents 1
that the mail will soon arrive. Up to
the present no announcement has
been made by the Health Cominis- i
sioner. Dr. Neuman, regarding the ]
date of arrival. Although recogniz- 1
ing the need for observing every pro- !
caution in order to avoid a further I
spread of the epidemic, many of the .
local business men are becoming ex- 1
coedingly worried over the long delay :
owing to the necessity for transacting i
business matters' which cannot be i
successfully conducted by means of 1
the telegraph lines. 1
A visit to the orphanage establish- (
etl by Dr. Baldwin for the care of the
numerous orphaned Eskimo children ]
resulting from the epidemic reveals (
Hat the unfonvnate tittle on?s are (
being cared for in excellent manner.
A slight tendency toward overcrowd
ing is observable but the large num
ber of children makes this condition
practically unavoidable without in- '
curring large additional expense.
Otherwise the situation and care of
the children is excellent. A consid
erable number of the orphans will be |
removed to the Catholic institution at ,
Hot Springs within n short time, thus
relieving the present congestion and
leaving those remaining as well hous
ed and cared for as is possible, in the
locol situation.
After sundry experiments conduct
ed l»y various interested parties, it is
determined that thermometers placed
on heated buildings show consider
ably higher temperatures than thosd
which are so situated that no artifi
cial warmth can reach them. Even
on the coldest days, it appears that
heat emanating from the buildings
will cause a variation of temperatures
amounting to six or eight degrees, al
though the instruments may be at
tached to blocks several inches away
from the building proper. During
the recent cold spell it was shown
with apparent certainty that a differ
ence of eight or ten degrees was
common between thermometers attach
ed to buildings and those situated on
posts or unheated buildings a few
blocks from Front Street.
Marked copies of the Nugget will
be distributed free to all persons who
are non-subscribers this evening, in
pursuance of a newly adopted adver
tising policy to increase the circula
tion of this paper and also extend the
field of its advertisers. The Nugget
fecl*j that it is giving good value fpr
the money asked for subscription and
believes that the average Nomeite
appreciates the fact that if the paper
is good enough to read it is good en
ough to subscribe for. Some people
may not like the policy, but the poli
cy, whether good or bad, does not in
the least mitigate against the fact
that the news service is the most
comprehensive ever provided the
Nome public and is far away ahead
of what the returns from advertising
and subscription justify. The Nug

To be cured you must know the
cause.
If it’s weak kidneys
"iou must set the kidneys working
right.
The following case shows you how:
Chas. Braasch, retired clothes dealer,
N. Coronado St., Los Angeles,
Calif., says: "When I was living In
Chicago several years ago, my kidneys
were giving me considerable trouble.
When a man’s kidneys become disor
dered, he feels out of sorts all over.
My back certainly was lame and it
was hard for me to bend over or lift
anything heavy. The steady ache
across the small of my back nearly
took the life out of me. I was ad
vised to try Doan’s Kidney Pills and
I found they were Just what I needed.
Doan’s quickly relieved me and I was
soon free from the trouble.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
