DANGEROUS SHOALS xo\v
CHARTERED
The Department of Commerce has
issued a pamphlet on Hydrography,
wlnru deals with the work done by
the Lr. S. Geodetic Survey in its
wire-drag work in A'aska.
The pamphlet is full of pictur
esque aceues along ihe shore line
of Alaska. It has taken two years
10 complete the work. The object
or the surrey was to find out the
exact condition of the waters up
on wL'ich ships of commeice are
forced to ply. Unchartered rocks
are now on record, depths of water
hi"jertci unknown are registered
wiih the Geodetic department. The
work will serve as a greai aid to
navigation and no doubt bo a guido
to commercial navigation iu Alaska
waters.
*1 he pamphlet was prupari'd by
I O. Colbert and John A. Daniels,
who had direct charge of the work.
NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Uo»e From Grief.
■What a fortunate provision of naturo
It is. that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover, in the height of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at its
heart, and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Naturo always
spares the suffering; she Is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness havo
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women, but thanks to the In
vestigations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows Into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herplclde
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as na
ture Intended. Sold by leading drug

Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh that Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the senso
of smell and completely derange tlie
v.holo system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never bo used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to t!ie good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo. O.. contains no
mercury, and Is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. In buying Hall's
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genu
ine. It is taken internally and made in
Toledo. Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Tes
