The reception Riven aboard the
Alaskan Siberian Navigation Cotn-i
panv's steamship Buford last Sun
day evening was one of the most
enjoyable affairs attended by resi
dents of Nome in sime time. The
novelty of the entertainment was
unique and the hospitality shown
the guests by Capt. L. L. Lane and
his capable stafT of subordinates
were such that deserve the highest
praise from everyone present.
There was “something doing’*
from the tjme the first guests arriv
ed aboard until the last adieus were
said at the gangway upon depar
ture. The ship was inspected from
stem to stern by every guest aboard,
this was made possible through the
courtesy of Capt. I*ane who turned
the entire ship over to his guests
for the evening.
After every nook and corner had j
been inspected by the crowd, they |
then repaired to the Pavilion hall j
of hjgh class entertainment by Mr.
Reynolds one of the ship's chefs. |
Mr. Reynolds proved himself to be j
one of the best versatile singers that I
Nome has heard in years. After
the entertainment rendered by Mr.
Reynolds the Nome Orchestra took •
position and played “The Buford
Gallop" composed by the Nome Or
chestra In two keys especially for
this particular entertainment and
the dancers showed their apprecia
tion of the skit by their repeated
applaus for more. The dance music
was under the leadership of Paul
Alberts with the flute.
During: the dancing the mina-ture
store located at the forward end of
the hall was kept open and refresh
ments in the form of soft drinks
and ice cream were dispensed to the
guests. After a number of delight
ful dance pieces had been rendered
the dancers were shown to the din
ing room where an elaborate lunch
eon had been prepared for the
guests of the evening.
When the guests climbed aboard
the liehter to come ashore the Nome
Band played a farewell number and
the crowd gave repeated hearty
cheers for Captain L. Lane and the
good ship Buford. The steamer re
sponded with her siren and so ended
the delightful party, unique in its
conception and a precident in Nome
shipping circles.

DISTEMPER IN D06S
PROPER TREATMENT
GOVT. METHOD
j The Biological .Suryer Experi
ment Station is just in receipt of
information regarding possible rem
edy for distemper among dogs, in
reply to an inquiry recently made of
the Washington office. The matter
was laid before the Bureau of Ani
mal Industry who sdbmit the follow
Distemper oscurs in several dif
ferent forms, thus, there is the eye
distemper, the respiratory form, the
gastric form, the nervous form, and
the exanthematous form. Young
dogs in the second half year of life
are chiefly affected, but dogs of any
age may contract the disease a-nd
one attack does not always confer
complete immunity.
The respiratory system bears the
chief brunt of the attack. The mu
cosa of the air passage is bright red,
swollen and covered with seropurul
ent secretion. The lymph glands
| are enlarged. In most cases there
| is catarrhal pneumonia. In fatal
cases the pleura is often found cov
ered with fibrinous exudation; there
may be fluid in the pericardial cavi
I ty and fatty degeneration of the
| heart. The liver and kidneys show
fatty or parenchymatous degenera
tion. and there may be myelitis.
Intense catarrah of the conjunctiva
may lead on to ulcerative keratitis.
The familiar symptoms are lassi
tude. loss of appetite, shivering, a
dry nose, scanty urine, thin watery
discharge from nose and eyes, dry
husky cough and sneezing. Dis
charge from nose and eyes become
purulent, obstructing the nostrils
and gluing the eyelids together.
There is rapid emaciation and loss
of strength. The initial exanthema
may occur in severer form along
with diarrhea and icterus.. When
broncho-pneumonia sets i-n there is
a characteristic offensive odor from
the body.
Regarding the use or distemper ser
um for the treatment and preven
tion of dog distemper, there is con
siderable difference of opinion
amongst veterinarians thruout the
country relative to the efficacy of
the serum for canine distemper.
Generally speaking, it is thought
that while the serum may lesson ]
the severity of an attack, it does not
always bring about a cure, and it is |
always deemed necessary to resort
to some medical treatment, nursing;
and nforcement of hygienic meas
ures. Many veterinarians make use
of distemper vaccines and serum as
preventives of the disease; but here
again their reports show consider
able variations regarding the effic
acy of the products.
The treatment of distemper is
largely symptomatic, and is usually
attended with considerable difficul
ty, The animal should be provided
with clean and comfortable bedding
in a room or kennel where there
are no draughts or appreciable
changes in temperature. In damp
01 chilly weather the puppy might
be wrapped in woolen cloths, al
though this must ont hamper the
freedom of the animal’s movements.
A moderate amount of exercise
should neither he discouraged nor
enforced.
The Bureau has frequently re
commended tincture of nux vomica
fr. not over five drop doses twice
daily as a “pick me up” and as an
appetizer, inasmuch as the appetite
is frequently absent. Raw eggs and
milk do wonderfully good service in
keeping up the dog’s strength.
Good nursing and encouragement of
the dog’s appetite are extremely im
portant.
CUTICURA HEALED
PIMPLES ON FACE

Out. Face Disfigured.
"My bead began to itch and there
were scales on my scalp. My hair
came out badly when combed and it
became very dry and thin. I also

my lace. The pimples were hard,
largdf and red, and caused roe to
scratch and irritate them, and my
face was disfigured.

months and I began using Cuticura

used two cakes of Soap and two
boxes of Ointment I was complete
