(By Associated Frees) WASHINGTON, Dec llv-Declartag that "for lack of Intelligent goternTaent assistance the truly great resources of Alaska must perforce lie In idleness," Governor Thomas Rlggs, Jr., in bis annual report today, voiced a plea for the adoption by the government of a more liberal Alaskan policy. The report Bald lawlessness, "particularly that fomented by pro-Germans, I. W. W. and Bolshevik elements" was becoming a menace. "Appropriations are placed at such

a low figure as to preclude effectiveness; rich mining regions are made

unavailable for lack of transportation

facilities; fisheries are threatened with exhaustion for lack of protection natives, in time of epidemics are allowed

to die of disease and starvation and, as a result of laws and regulations, at every turn appears the huge Teutonic sign 'Verboten,' " the governor said. The people of Alaska, he added, "hold out their hands to Washington. not as supplicants for bounty, but in 'petition to be allowed to develop as were the western territories, now the great western states." Referring to the menace of increasing radicalism in Alaska the report iaald: ' Indications point to a continued (Immigration as the result of army demobilization and the closing of war-time , Industries.

PERSONAL ADVERTISING. (By Associated Press) FRANKLIN, lnd., Dec. ll.r-The ingenuity of three students of Franklin College made it possible for members of that school to stage at least one successful dance. Recent efforts at arranging successful dances financially have proved failures, due to the fact that girls who live In college dormitories are not permitted to attend. The three students stationed themselves In the downtown streets, and whenever they saw a man of dancing age approaching, one of them would step up to him and whisper. , "There's to be a dance tonight. Get your girl and come." ' No casualities were reported.

OLD MEN AND , OLD WOMEN ARE MA (ING GOOD

Hundreds of men and women well Jong in years have taken a most remarkably new lease on life; are Up anddoing more than their share of work: and enjoying it, not asking1 favors of anyone. There' is no secret about this. Every man and woman past tha prime of life can come back strong, look young, and feel young, In a short time, if they will just follow the laws of nature. Old people THINK they are worn out because of age, and they feel that way. This is all wrong. Ono of our leading doctors says that looking and feeling old is due to lack of Iron and Phosphates in the blood and nerves. When people are young, they have a good supply. As they grow older and draw on this reserve, they commence to run down unless they are wise enough to recharge their blood and nerves with Phosphated Iron. Continuing, the doctor said, "Every man and woman along in years can be made strong, keen, healthy and alert, enjoying life's pleasures again If they will simply renew their bljod with Iron and Phosphates. Phosphated Iron makes new, red blood, strengthens th nerves, rebuilds energy, renews endurance end often Increases the strength at weak or old people one hundred per cent in 2 weeks' time, "thousands of rundown old people who were ailing all the while have eurprised their friends with a most astonishing return of health, strength and vitality Imply by . taking' Phosphated Iron.

DON'T PUT OFF GETTING WELL; TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE Each Day's Delay Gives a Firmer Hold on Your Vitald, Begin Now Treating Yourself With Nature's Own Remedy, Dreco.

A well known-euthority has said that the greatest cause of disease is the fact that too many people who are sick and ailing put off doing what will help them to regain their normal health and strength. They go about from day to day, in their miserable condition, apparently trusting to Providence to aid them in some way. Nothing could be worse. The first symptom of disease should arouse the victim to action, like an alarm of fire, or the warning of a great flood. The same human impulse that causes people to heed these warnings, should stir them to the sense of impending danger when Nature warns that disease has set about Its ravages in the human system. No one is more considerate than Nature. Her warnings of impending disease and illness come far enough in advance so that the menacing troubles may be checked before they

take inroads into the health. It Is just a question of employing the proper medicine. The first warnings of disease are usually given by aches or pains here and there in various parts of the body. A general weakness, emaciation, or lack of vitality may then perhaps ensue. The appetite dwindles, constipation sets in, usually leading to some

of the many forms of stomach disorder. The blood becomes impoverished and falls to nourish properly the nerve tissues, or give the required aid to the liver, bowels, kidney or bladder, thus rendering them powerless to function properly. With these conditions neglected the whole system Is left open to the ravages of many organic diseases that permanently impair and ruin the health. At the first warning of sickness, a dependable medicine should be used. There Is nothing better than Dreco, the herbal medicine for treatment of such conditions. Dreco works along common sense lines and combats Nature's ills and Nature's way. Its mission is to go immediately to the source of trouble, and tends first to stimulate the appetite and aid digestion. This results in the making of good, rich red blood, capable of cleansing the system of poisonous impurities. With an abundance - of pure blood coursing through the body, the vital organs are nourished and the tissues revitalized, thus causing the liver, bowels, kidneys, nerves and other vitals to function normally and throw off disease. t The success of DRECO is truly startling. Its record of achievement, in some instances, has bordered on the miraculous, say a number of men and women who have used it. Every claim made for this wonderful herbal

medicine is backed by hundreds of signed statements from grateful peoplein all sections who tell in their own words what it had accomplished for them. Many say that Dreco gave them permanent and lasting results after many other medicines had failed to benefit in the least. A large number of these enthusiastic statements have come from people right in this section. Some of them may be near neighbors of yours people you can see most any day and judge for yourself if what they say is true. My Troubles Are Much Better Now. Mrs. Bertha Bailey suffered severely with rheumatism and it's accompanying disorders such as pains in the back, loss of sleep, nervousness, headaches and constipation. "I could always tell 24 hours ahead when it was going to rain or snow," she declared "Because then the pains would be worse. "My troubles are much better now," she says happily. She has taken three bottles of Dreco, the wonderful new medicine that everybody in this section is talking about, and says "My rheumatism is so much better from taking Dreco that I couldn't tell about this last bad spell of weather we had. That shows how much I've improved." Dreco is now in hundreds of homes

throughout this section and is winning

for itself the praise and hearty commendation of many well known men and women In every walk of life. One Bottle of Dreco Has Relieved the Pain. J. W. Sharp tried many things without satisfactory results until one day his attention was called to Dreco, the wonderful new herbal medicine. He

took one bottle of Dreco and this is what he says: "My kidneys were in an awful shape, urine dark and smelled offensive. My back hurt all the time. "One bottle of Dreco has relieved this pain and the urine is again of normal color and regular. I am buying three more bottles and think they will cure me. THIS is but one of many statements received from prominent men and women In all walks of life, in every position in society. In every case they all men and women alike express pleasure and amazement at the wonderfully quick and lasting action of Dreco. If you have any kidney trouble, no matter how slight It seems, spots before your eyes, nervousness, sick headache, rheumatic twinges, constipation or stomach trouble, now is the time to start taking DRECO. Mr. Powers, the well known Dreco expert, has headquarters at Thistlethwsite's Drug Store, to meet the local public and explain the merits of this great remedy. See him today. Adv.
