ALASKA AT THK P. P. I. EXPO
SITION'.
In 1915, the contestants in the
freat international "Around the
World" aviation contest, who have
endured until the last lap of the
race, will fly from Kamchatka to
the Commander island, the last of
the Aleutian islands, thence fol
lowing the curve o'jthe island group
to the south coast ot Alaska, some
where about Cape Elizabeth, thence
to Sitka and thence down the coast
to Vancouver, which will be the last
stop before the final flight to San
Francisco. Prizes totalling $300,
000 are offered to winners in these
aruund-the-world races.
It 's significant that in this first
circling of the globe by air craft,
over a continuous route which is to
start east from San Francisco; pass
through Chicago to New York; and
thence an the Newfoundland coast,
by way of Greenland and Iceland,
through the great capitals of Eu
rope, Glasgow, London, Paris, Ber
lin, St. Petersburg; and through
such populous centers of the far
east as Vladostock, Kobe and To
kio, it will be necessary to touch
the ports of Alaska—a district
which only a few decades ago was
the uttermost end of the earth—
seemingly cut r.'f forever from the
uses and benefits of the world's
civilization.
As this route was selected as
the most practical by which any
globe encircling journey by air
could be made, the importance of
Alaska will be enhanced should ev
er transportation by air become of
commercial significance; and the
art and science of aviation has
made such strides in the last few
years that the airmen predict the
next half century will undoubtedly
see such development, at least in
regard Lo passenger transportation.
But Alaska's development does
not hinge upon any such contingen
cy as this, however probable or
improbable.
The Panama Pacific Internation
al Exposition to be held in San
Francisco in 1915, of which this
world compassing aviation contest
is to be but one feature, will bring I
to Alaska some benefits which she
cannot escape, and other larger
benefits to be measured only by
the intelligence and energy with
which Alaskans mirke tiie most of
their opportunity to educate the
citizens o" America ai to what sort
of a country Alaska really is, and
what her resources and her needs.

We honestly believe we have the best remedy in the world for indigestion
and dyspepsia. We urge you to try it at our risk. If it doesn't relieve
you—as we feel sure it will—we'll give back your money without a word.
You know us—your family druggist. You know we wouldn't dare recommend anything we didn't
know about, nor dare to break a promise. Therefore, when we recommend any remedy it is because
sve believe it to be better than any other to relieve the ailment for which it is made, and when we
prove our faith in it and our sincerity toward you by promising to give back your money if it
doesn't relieve you and in every way satisfy you, you have no possible excuse for doubt or hesitation.
I are, we honestly believe, the best remedy made for Indigestion, Dyspepsia and all
other Stomach II!s
1 We Know They're Good Delays Are Dangerous You Risk No Money
Recall Dyspepsia Tablets, in addition
to other ingredients, contain Pepsin and
Bismuth, two great digestive aids used by
the entire medical profession. They
soothe the Inflamed stomach, check the
heartburn and distress, stimulate a
healthy secretion of the gastric juice,
aid in rapid and comfortable digestion
of the food and help to quickly convert
it into rich red blood, and thereby into
flesh, bone and muscle. They relieve
stomach distress promptly, and, used
regularly for a short tune, tend to re
store the stomach to a comfortable,
easy-acting, healthy state. They aid
greatly to promote regular bowel action.
Don't neglect indigestion, for it fre
quently leads to all sorts of ills and com
plications. The pain and discomfort is
not the most unfortunate part. The fact
that when the stomach is not acting
right, the material needed to repair the
wastes that are constantly taking place
in the body is not being given to the blood
either in the proper condition or fast
enough is far more serious. Nothing
will cause more trouble than :m unhealthy
stomach. The blueS, debility, lack of
strength and energy, constipation, bil
iousness, headaches and scores of other
serious ailments result from the failure
of the stomach to pron ely do its v.uric.
Our willingness to have you use Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets entirely at our risk
proves our faith in them. We always
sell them this way, and it is because
we know that they have greatly ben
efited scores of sufferers to whom
we have sold them. There's no red
tape about our guarantee. It means
just what it says. We'll ask you no
cuestions. You ncedr't sign anything.
Your word is enough for us. We know
that when they help you you will con
sider it money well spent even if they
had tost you ten times as much. If they
don't help you, the money you paid for
theni is yours, a jut we want you to have it.
Sold only at the more than 7,000 Rexall Stores—the World's Greatest Drug Stores. In convenient boxes—three sizes: 25c, 50c, $1.00
