Revigator Restores Water’s
Lost Element
■
THE NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN SCIENCE
THE most important thing in life is health. We cannot con
tinue to live healthfully unless we live with some respect I
to the laws of nature. Life is but cellular buildiny and cellu- '
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 cells
and tissues. j
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—
THE REVIGATOR WATER JAR.

Believing the time has arrived te
take a decided stand rin the question
of relieving the congestion at the
Sitka home for indigent Alaskans,
the Anchorage Igloo of Pioneers, at
a recent meeting, adopted a resolu
tion in which request is made that the
Territorial Legislature, at its forth
coming session, appropriate funds foi
the construction of a home in the vi
cinity of Anchorage. The Grand
Igloo of Pioneers, soon to convene,
wil be asked to indorse the Anchor
age request, and a copy of the rese
ution, together with a sketch of the
requested home and its approximate
cost, will be forwarded to Juneau in
time for the legislative session, with
the expectation that all of the Third
division members will support the
proposal.

"The modern gir is abused a good

all that, than her mother.
“A modem girl’* mother at New

"'Jane, Mr. Gotrox, the veteran

praised you yesterday to your father
and me in a marked way. If you

" ‘On the contrary,’ said her moth
