A .most unusual situation in the t

The city of Seward has been seek- (

mon of Resurrection Bay waters, and 1
after investigation Commissioner of
Fisheries Henry O’Malley has prom- ]
ised some relief. When new regula- 1

it is expected that the present regu- i

for salmon at all times within 1,000 1
yards of the mouths of Bear creek j
and Resurrection river, and within 1
1,700 yards of the mouths of these 1
streams in the period from June 7 to 1
August '25, will be modified to read
substantially as follows: “Commer-|l
cial fishing for salmon is prohibited 1
at all times in all waters north of a 1
true east and west line crossing the
head of Resurrection Bay from the 1
mouth of Lowell creek to the opposite ;'
shore at 60 degrees 6 minutes 9 sec- I ’
onds north latitude.” Due to the j1
depths of water, this proposed new ! ■
regulation, Mr. O’Malley states, ■ ]
would practically prevent the use of j
anchored gill nets and would compel 1
the commercial fishermen to drift |:
their nets, thus giving the salmon a :
better opportunity to enter the" 1
spawning streams.

I Revigator Restores Water’s
1 Lost Element
THE NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN SCIENCE
fp HE most important thing in life is health. We cannot con
I tinue to live healthfully unless we live with some respect
^ ■ to the laws of nature. Life is but cellular buildiny and cellu
f1' u» lar elimination. This lost element of water is Radio-activity,
* < which both creates cellular energy and removes cellular poisons.
■ Sir Arbuthnot Lane, the great English physician, says “Most
♦diseases are directly traceable to bad drainage in the body”—to
*■- the accumulation of clogging waste matter or poisons at vital
‘ organs.
* •« For centuries the world has recognized the value of health
springs, and medical officers now attribut the value of-the fam
ous springs to the natural radio-activity of their waters. This
radio-activity is one of nature’s ways of dissolving and elimin
ating' these health-destroying poisons and building healthy oefis
and - tissues.
It is now possible for everyone, sick or well, to have perpetu
ally, and at reasonable cost, the splendid benefits of a genuine
radio-active health spring in the home through this invention—

Dr. Marshall is now on his way to
New York City. In New York this
winter he will work up his data on

happy it makes intelligent men to be

might learn of th erare value of per
