Tom Thumb golf, which is said to
have- swept the country from one end
to the other, and caused as much
comment as prohibition—or the lack
of it—has arrived in Alaska. Ket
chikan already has a midget course,
and the game found instant favor
there. Juneau is also to have a
course within a short time, and it is
expected the epidemic will spread to
other Alaska towns.
i Fritz A. Nyberg, chief ranger in
the McKinley National Park, was no
tified a few days ago that he had
been suspended as chief ranger.
He left the same evening to the
train for Seward' to connect with the
steamer for Seattle, and will go to
Washington, D. G., frqm there by air-!
plane to fight the matter of his sus

making a trip to Morningside Sani

took an insane person from Fair

derers from Valdez to the peniten
tiary.
Fairbanksans may feel themselves
fortunate, Marshal Smith said, when
hard times are so evident everywhere
Outside. While he was resting in
Providence Hospital for a few days
he saw from the window of his room
hundreds of persons come to be fed
by the sisters of charity, and down
town the Salvation Armywas main
taining bread lines for both men and
women.

Revigator Restores Water’s
Lost Element
. I ; THE NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN SCIENCE
' « fW| HE most important thing in life is health. We cannot con
S tinue to live healthfully unless we live with some respect
“ to the laws of nature. Life is but cellular buildiny and cellu
lar elimination. This loBt element of water is Radio-activity,
; which both creates cellular energy and removes cellular poisons.
Sir Arbuthnet 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
j 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 cells
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
j radio-active health spring in the home through this invention—
