WASHINGTON1, March 30. Alns
ka's fil'lii'tli nnniversory today as a
part f the United States was signal
ized by Secretary Lane of the in
terior department with a statement,
in which he said:
"Alaska's period of trial is over.
She. has been weighed in the balance
and found inafmit'iciently worthy."
Mr. Lane said' the wisdom of his
precedessor, the secretary of state,
who negotiated Alaska's purchase in
18(17, despito virulent oposition, had
Mieen justified and afler fifty years,
fiiimuil financial statements show
and prove conclusively "that to have
neglected that opportunity would have
been a colossal blunder, a blunder fu
ture generations could never forgive."
The (KiOO square miles of territory
bought for about 2 cents an .acre at
$7,200,0110, hnve brought more than
$750,0(1(1,(1(10 into the channels of
American trade, Mr. Lane said, and
the profits are just beginning to come
in.
"A Remit G"),000 people are living in
that vast country, one-fifth as

be in 2010 no man can predict."
In order to simplify matters, the
permanent name of Ashland's big
annual celebration has been nbbrcft-
viated to "Hv-in He-he." In the
original chinook Jargon Gill's dic
tionary, an undisputed nutohrity on
abonginat derivatives, gives the
meaning of "lly-in" ns enough,
much, plenty; and "lle-hc ns imply
ing laughter and amusement. It fol
lows, therefore, that the composite
wording signifies enough, much heap
fun. The former name was dis
carded by the managers ns being too
lengthy and unwieldly, nlthough the
new disignation retains the essentials
of the slogan ns originally submitted
and does not detract from the genius
displayed by the lady who coined the
expression.

Use "Gets-It," Lift
Corn Right Off
Shrivels. Loosens-and It's Gone! .
"Just like taklnffthe lid off thnt'i
how easy you can lift a corn off your
toe after It has been treated with,
the wonderful discovery, Gets-It.' "
Hunt the wide world over and you'll
find nothing eo magic, simple and
easy as "Ueto-It." xou folks who
have wrapped your toes In bandapres
to look like bundles, who have used
salves that turned your toes raw and
sore, and used plasters that would .
shift from thoir place and never
'Kef the corn, and who have dujc
nnd picked at your corns with
knives and aclseors and perhaps
made them bleed Juflt quit these old
and painful ways and try "Gets-It",
Just once. You put 2 or 3 drops on,
nnd It dries at once. There's noth
ing to stick. You can put your shoe
and stocking right on again. The
pain is all gone. Then the corn
dies a painless, shriveling death, it
loosens from your toe. and off It
comes. "Gets-It" Is the biggest sell
ing corn remedy In the world today.
There's none other as good.
Gets-It" Is sold by druggists

MAKING IT PLAIN
The Pure Food nnd Drug Laws aim'"
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa
rations but some people continue to
accept "extracts" of cod livers think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod liver oil,
which has bad the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains 710 oil and is
highly alcoholic.
Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of re 1 Norwegian cod liver oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphUcs. Scott's iB free from the
fiilKe stimulation of alcohol and is en
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.
