natives were interviewed on the sub
ject and found to be out of sympathy
with the proposal because of a super
stitious fear of contracting Influenza
if forced to reside in the locality wheio
so many natives died two years ago.
The matter was finally compromis« d
by the natives agreeing to keep their
Fast Knd i imping ground in clean
ami sanitary condition, thus removing
the chief rails** «*f offense against their
occupancy of that district. With
this understanding, they were permitt
ed to remain. Councilman 1.0111011 of

improve the sewerage system along
the lower section of B street to the

ger or distress. Mr. Polet stated the|
Ch ,tuber is preparing a communica
tion to the Secretary of the Treasury
requesting him to allot to the Coast
Guard one of tlie fleet and powerful
patrol boats used by the Navy during
the-war. Possessing high speed and
light draft, one of these vessels, he
said, would he of great value in pro
tecting life and property along the
coast, transporting delayed malls and
other beneficial uses. Mr. Polet ex

Am Getting Well,”

<»ne of the latest additions to the
list of leaders of thought and action
whit have came forward with their
unqualified endorsement of Tanlac is
the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans,
former Mayor of Birmingham, Ala.
ex-State Examiner of I'ublic Accounts
of Alabama, and at one time editor of
one of the South’s greatest newspa
pers, The Birmingham Age-Herald.
Writing to n personal friend in At
lanta Mr. Evans says::
Birmingham. Ala.. Feb. 2nd.
will hardly know me when we meet
again, because I am getting so well
and strong again. As I told you while
in Atlanta last month. I have been
suffering a long time with gastritis,
as the doctors call It—really a dis
ordered stomach with ’ consequent
constipation pains in the shoulders,
headache, belching, heartburn, loss of
appetite, loss of sleep, and fainting
spells. For weeks f could not sleep
“One week ago: upon recommenda
tion of friends who had tried the mod- i
iclne. I purchased one bottle of Tanlac j
and began taking It. Since my second ]
•lose I have suffered none of thesei
troubles to which I refer, and really
believe 1 am going to get perfectly well I
and strong again. Won’t that be,
wonderful at my age? Well, certain
it is that Tanlac is a wonderful med- i
iclne. anti you know I am not given to j
‘puffing* mere experiments and am '
rather orthodox as to materia medica. j
“I shall continue the treatment with j
perfect confidence in the final results”,
t^ignied “Frank V. Evans.”

aside a stone and exposed to view a
subterranean cavern. The voices When

Malachoff the impression that the
while mountain was hollow Inside.
Being in close proximity to the form
er volcano action of Mt Katmni it is
at underground cafrvense sible thpos
possible that underground caverns |
have been formed.
The two boys did not attempt to ]
crawl inside to investigate. And the
occurrence, with other events crowd
ing, almost passed from the mind of
Malachoff. During those early days
the trader* took a great many things
for granted. The talk of oil at Cold
hay the other evening recalled to his
mind his boyhood experiences, and he
and his- hearers could not help hut
wonder what might be Inside the cave
which the natives seemed careful to
hide from sight.'—Alaska Dally Oap

BULLET REMOVED FROM
HI8 HEART, MAN LIVES
Omaha—Some days ago surgeons
at St Joseph’s Hospital here took the
heart out of Steve Zakich, an Austrian,
who had shot himself, removed the
bullet from the heart, where it was
imbedded, replaced the organ in Zak
lch’s body and sewed up the incision.
Zakich ate solid food recently and is on
the high road to full recovery. He le
practically out of danger.
The operation was preformed after
the bullet had been ill Zakich’s heart
nearly 36 hours. When surgeons ar
rived after Zaklfh fired the bullet into
his heart, they thought he would be
dead in a few minutes. When Jie had
survived 36 hours the operation was
performed. In performing the opera
tion the surgeons cut through three
ribs and exposed the heart. Doctor
Simanek reached (into the opening,
■took the pulsing heart in his hand,
lifted It clear of the body and removed
the bullet. After which he replaced
the heart where It belonged.
