In the first place they skin the hare, clean and dry it and chew it all over, and when it is thoroughly dry they cut it up and make socks to wear inside of their seal or deer skin boots (in their language called ka maks). The sealskin is taken, the fat cleaned off, a wooden frame made about a foot on the round larger than the akin, and the skin i then laced tightly around a frame and kept in the run until thorough lydry. Then the squaws or women clean and set about cutting it up into boots, which are eenerallv made v V about two or three sizes too large. The bottom, or sole, is cut to the shape of the foot in one piece, the uppers are joined and sewed to the edge of the bottom, and the fore part is sewed to the leg nearly straight across the instep. The leg is cut out according to the length wanted, with a receiving string in the top to tie over, thus keeping the snow out. The arctic hskimos do not ue bark or tan of anv kind for their skins. It cannot be procured, and they do not know how to use it Should their boots drv up their la dies, or squaws, take them and chew them all over, and in ten minutes thev are as soft an a clove. Farther south and in some parts of l-abra-dor the skins are barked and thor oughly dried and when made up last much longer. It makes a good deal of difference what species of seals are used. The best by far are the square flipper and the old harp seal. Could they get leather and soles lor their boots as we do in this country it would be an improvement for summer wear, but would not answer for winter. A good pair of skin boots will last an kimo lor nearly six momus with constant wear on the ice. Captain Moses Bartlett in Superin tendent and Foreman, PINCHOT DEPOSED !

Thoroughly judignant over the action ot Mr. Pincot in inducing Senator Dol liver to read a letter from him in the Senate yesterday, President Taft today would listen to no advice that the forester's vio lation of executive orders be over looked pending the inquiry soon to be undertaken by Congress. He declared the dignity of the office he had been chosen by the people to fill was being attacked and he would be unfaithful to his trust it he submitted longer. Romedy Coats NEW LIQUOR LAW. A law passed by Congress rela tivetoshipping whiskey, beer, etc., n to prohibition territory became effective on the 1st. It provides that all packages shipped iuto pro hibitiou territory shall be plaiuly marked as to the contents. If it is whiskey, beer, wine, malt or any other spirituous liquid, the same shall ba marked accordingly. Not only will all" packages be plainly marked, but every person getting such a package will have to be identified. Iu plain words, the man who wants something to cheer his drooping spirts must order it in his own name aud own the pack age when it comes. This will not stop the shipping ot whiskey by any means, but the fellow who has been getting it on the sly and his name is legion in unmarked pack ages addressed to fictitious oames, will be put to it to gel his booze unless he comes across and owns the corn.

When a medicine effects a suc cessful trentment in a very large majority of cases, and when we of fer that medicine on our own per sonal guarantee that it will cost the user nothing if it does not com pletely relieve catarrh, it is only reasonable that people should be lieve ns, or at least put our claim to a practical test when we take all the risk. These are facts which we want the people to substan tiate. We want them to try Bexall Mncu Tone, a medicine prepared from a prescription of a physician ith whom catarrh was a specialty, and who has a record of thirty years of enviable success to his rec ord. We receive more good reports about Bexall Mucu-tone than we do of all other catarrh remedies sold in our store, and if more peo ple only knew what a thoroughly dependable remedy Bexall Mucu tone is, it would be the only catarrh remedy we would have to demand for. Rexall Mucu tone is quickly ab-. sorbed and by its therapeutic effect tends to disinfect and cleanse -the entire mucous membraneous tract, to destroy and remove the parasi tica which injure the membraneous tissues, to so ithe the irritation and heal the soreness, stop the mucous discharge, build up strong, healthy tissue and relieve the blood and system of diseased matter. Its influence is toward stimulating the muco cells, aiding digestion and improving nutrition until the whole body vibrates with healthy activity. In a comparatively short time it brings about a uotioeable gain in' weight, strength, good col or and feeling of buoyancy. We urge you to try Bexall Mucu Tone, begiuning a treatment to day. At any time yon are not sat isfied, simply come and tell us, and we will quickly return yourmooey without question or quibble. We have Bexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes, 50 cents and fl.00.
