Pass hospital suffering from a
nirtial stroke of paralysis. Mr. Cre
oeau was strickeii Saturday morn
iuc while working oa the wharf,
and was at once removed by his
companions to t/e hospital, where
Dr. Gabig made au examination,
and rendered what assistance he
could. At that time little hope
was entertained for his recovery, us
the paralytic strike was believed to
be caused by a hemorrhage on the
brain, but when Dr. Gabie was
questioned today, he said that Mr.
Crtpeau's condit on was graetly
improved, and that the chances for
his recovery were quite bright.

Cordova—So serious is the pre
dicament of prominent pool room
aud billiard parlor owners at An
chorage as tile result of arrests for
gambling on their premises, that
they have called Attorney J.,. V.
Ray from S|.,ward ati a Ueavjj t|xpensg|
to defend them.
Under the ruling of Secretary
Lane lot owners at Anchorage are
liable to forfeit ther property if li
quor is sold thereon or gambling oc
curs.
During the past two weeks num
erous raids havo been made on the
ix>ol halls, and arrests made on war
rants sworn to by Assistant U. S.
Attorney Munley.
The pool halls involved in the
cases are valuable property, the
lots running from $5,000 to .$7,000
each, and the buildings aud equip
ment at from $5,000 »o $20,000. In
cases where there is a conviction
the power lies with, the secretary
of the interior to cancel the title
to the ground in cas s1 where he
ileems the owners nad knowledge of
the offense. In cases where lots
were confiscated following1 tho
salo of liquor it was held that the
secretary might cancell title if he
saw fit, regardless of circumstances,
and there is no appeal from his de
cision.
There have been strong bints of
some sort of graft in. connection
with the gambling in Anchorage In
recent issues of tho Anchorage
Times, but the officials involved in

they grafted was not get forth.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
The Bank of Health.
"So funds."
That's the way your check Is
stamped when your bank allow
ance gives out.
Every good business man takes
care not to overdraw his account.
But how many men give a
thought to their balance in the
First Natural Hank of Health?
Not many. They overdraw
when they oversleep In the morn
iii'j. when they overeat at noon,
when they overwork late In the
day and when they overdrink
and overplay at night
And they keep on overdrawing,
day in aud day out, because the
accounting system In the First
Natural Bank of Health differs
from that of an ordinary bank.
They are not brought to a sud
den stop with the warning, "No
reserve."
So they keep on until the day
when disease draws a big sight
draft, and then they find their
body bankrupt and not a phys
ical asset In sight—Cleveland
