HOW 10 conduct yourself
PROPERLY AT THE MOVIES
Oil entering a motion picture
theater make as much noise as pos
sible. This will advise those al
ready seated that you have really
arrived.
Ou taking a seat, push your el
tows cut as far as possible. Whan
they come in contact with those ou
each side, it will serve to teach you
neighbors to make yay -when you ar
rive. These lessons cannot be
taught too vigorously.
A'"'er you get comfortably seated
iu ycur chair, cross your legs and
then bump your knee against the
back of the seat In front of you,,
keeping time with the music. This
will be greatly appreciated by the
persoa jvhose chair back is being
use as a bass drum.
In pssing in. front of others, take
all the time you want and step on
n now and then. The. others
need stirring up occasionally.
When the comedies are Bhown
don't laugh at anything you see.
Hearty laughter is so vulgar.
If you have seen the pictures be
fcre, watch carefully and shout out
tb.o plot before it comes into view
0:1 the screen—this will prove you
are a pretty smart fellow.
In passing down the aisle to se
curo a seat, don't waste time, and
if possible, run af full speed. Those
you kuock down in the rush will
learn to get out of your way; next
time.
If you are a good guesser, tell
your neighbor what's coming next.
Ther will be grateful for the ad
vance information.
If a fine picture has a few flaw3
la it, always remember them and for
get *he rest It Is a aur$ sign of
high intelligence to pick; as many
flaws as possible,
Crisicise the acting as much as
pcssible, and speak in a loud tone
of voice. This will also convince
your neighbors that you know a
lot.
11 *he pictures are 90 good that
you can't find fault, say mean
things about the music and if the
music is all right, roast the seats
or the ventilation. Remember, if
you look sharply ypu can always
find something to kiolc about.
Always make it a point to tell
ho ? much better the other theaters
ia other tosvna ar§ and don't fail
to key your voice so that it car
Ties far. The management will heai!
of it eventually and it will teaclr
them a thing or twok
Announce whenever ypu get a
chance that you think, motion pic
tures are only fit for common peo
ple and low-brows and that you
only gee them to prove your superi
ority.
Be sure and read aloud the point
ed legends as they appear on the
screen. Probably moet of the poor
dubs near you caa'l read and will
appreciate your help. And, besides,)
it shews them that you can.
Of course you could enjoy your
self a great d^al more and the
other spectartos would have a
much better time if you were quiet
and well behaved, but you would
miss attracting attention, and one
migh» as well be dead ag do that.

CLEAR OF ICt
Anchorage, March, 9—-There was
grea* rejoicing berg yesterday whem
a tug arrived from Seldovia and re
ported the ice all gone and naviga
tion open on Cook Inlet.
Anehcrage, March 9 — The tug
Ann en, with the barge Kiiik, arriv
ed from Seldovia, with a cargo of
powder and gasoline. She is the
firs* vessel of the season to reach
here, and reports having encountered
practically no ice. Th<e weahter is
mild and it is thawing. As the
harbor is clear of ice, there is no
reason why large vessels should not
come to Anchorage. The barge
has returned to Seldovia.
LIQQUOR SHIPMENTS
IN BAGGAGE NOT EASY
Portland, March 22—Composed of
passenger representatives and bag-,
gage gents, the North Coast Passen
ger association's baggage commit
tee is having a meeting at Vancouver^
P.. C-. today to further standardize
rules and regulations relating to
handlicg baggage on all lines on
the roast and in the interior.
Attending the meeting is E. B.
Carsoi:, general baggage agent of
the Southern Pacific, who stopped
over in Portland yesterday. One of
the sources of aggravation to the
railways has been the shipment of
liquor as baggage into prohibition
states, but this practice is rapidly
disappearing, says Mr. Carson, be
cause the offenders invariably get
caught or lose the contraband liquor
through the contents of trunks
breaking and leaking.

The first symptoms of kidney
trouble may be only a slight ( pain
iu the back, a feeling of stiffness or
soreness in the loins, or some an
noying irregularity of the urinary
passages. Urine is often discolor
ed and perhaps pediment gathers
UDon standing. >ieit may come a
dull, throbbing, backache, sharp,
knife-like pains, headaches, j diz
ziness and in many case®, lameness
when arising iu the mornng. No
one can affrod to delay until these
troubles become serious. Begin
using Doan's Kidney Pills, the
tried and tested kidney remedy that,
has won the draise of thousands.
Alaskan readers should find con
vincing proof cf merit iu the fol
lowing statement.
G. H. Behnke, 323 Lincoln St.,
Portland, Ore., says: "Kidney trou
ble cluug to me for six months. 1
had a dull, steady ache and at
time, sharp pains in my kidneys. I
had soreness over my kidneys and
I found it hard to turn in bed.
Too frequent action of my kidneys
caused me to rise np often at night.
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that, cured Mr. Behnke. Foster-Mil
