In Time of Peace

In the first months of the Russia Japan war we had a striking example of the necessity for preparations and the early advantage of those who, so to speak, "have shingled their roof in dry weather" The virtue of preparation has made history and given to Us our greatest men. The individual as well as the nation should be prepared for any emergency. Are you prepared to successfully combat the first cold you take? A cold can be cured much more quickly when treated as soon as 1t has been contracted and before 1t has be- come settled in the system. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of colds and it should be kept al hand ready for instant use. For sale by Wm. Britt.

City Government Closes
 Gambling in Juneau

Gambling was closed at Juneau yes terday morning as o'clock, by order of the city authorities. All the knights of the green cloth, including the pro- prietors, aud the dealers, boosters, etc., were fined Saturday by the police court, and ordered to open no more.
 Whether there will be no more gambling in Juneau for all time or not is not stated, but it is admitted that the town is "tight" DOW.
 It is believed the action ot the grand jury at Ketchican and the words ot warning that came from the bench when the fines were imposed upon those indicted and who pleaded guilty had much to do with the action of the city government at the Hub"

THE CAUSE oF COLDS.

The winter has thus far been mild. that as long as 1t shall stay so there Is less than the usual need for taking precautions against contracting colds. In reality there is more danger, and, therefore, more need for being careful in mild, damp winter than in a severe one. A writer in The Independent re- calls that it was in two of the midest winters in the last quarter century, those of 1890 and 1891, that influenza carried off so many people. The cold winters are healthy ones. Modern medical science has found much truth In the old proverb that "a green Christi mas makes 8 full graveyard"
 It is the experience of many that the harder they strive to avoid a cold the surer they are to catch 1t. This is be- cause they do not employ the right safeguards. That is becauce they don't understand the nature of their enemy. It is now generally recognized by physicians that cold is an infectious disease. It is caused by certain mi crobes getting into and irritating the mucous membrance of the respiratory tract. There are little processes called "cllia" whose duty it is to drive out the microbes that get Into the mu- cous membrane. They may fail to do this because their work is interfered with by moist air or by the individual going suddenly from hot to Q cold atmosphere, or being weary, hungry, or debilitated. They may also fail in their task because one goes into an i'll ven- tilated ill lighted and overcrowded place, such as a dance hall, a street car. a church, or a theater swarming with microbes. Physicians believe .that many, if not most, of the colds of city people are contracted in places whose air has been vitiated and filled with mil crobes by being breathed and re- breathed by hundreds or thousands of persons.
 The nature and causes of colds in- dicate the means of their prevention. Staying in a hot, badly ventilated

seeds and berries, and the grading and preparing them for market Is done by
 women and girls of the peasant class.
 It must be done with the hands; it cannot be done with machinery. We
 have no peasant class in this country
 and it is difficult to persuade the wo-
 men of the rural districts of the United
 States to undertake such work. They
 are not compelled to do it; they are not required to earn their living, or con- tribute to the family income, as Is al-
 most invaribly the case in other coun- tries. That is why we raise no silk. The southern states offer the most favorable opportunities for the cultiva- tion of medicinal plants, and prices have risen so rapidly that there is
 great profit In gathering roots, bark, leaves and other botanical specimens
 which grow wild in that section of the country. The climate and soil are also
 suitable tor raising the classes of plant life that are needed, and if they had little instruction the colored women in
 the South might make a good deal of
 money gathering burdock, dandelion roots, couch grass, sarsaparilla, sas- safras and other herbs; and in culti- vating ginger, ipecac, vanilla, beans
 castor beans and caraway seeds, which
 would grow easily in the South, but
 are not raised to any extent in this country.
 Take licorice root, for example. We
 import about $2,OO0,000 worth every
 year fro mthe Mediterranean, where
 the plant grows wild and the roots are
 gathered and dried by peasant women.
 Llcorice culture is carried on to a con-
 siderable extent in England by market
 gardners. They raise it between rows of cabbages and potatoes, and in the fall the roots are dug up and dried. The
 warm climate and rich soil of the
 South is especially adapted to licorice growing, and the colored women might make a considerable amount of money in that way.
 Belladonna and similar plants may also be grown, and caraway, anis, car
 damon and corlander seeds bring big prices in the American and European markets. We import every year near ly $2 1000, ,O00 worth of such seeds; near ly $1 ,000 900 worth of vanilla beans and $350 900 worth of castor beans, Our imports statics show $25O,000 worth of ginger and $1OO0O0 of sarsaparilla root brought from foreign countries, $2S2,- 900 of lemon oil, $125.OOO of oil of laven- der, $200, 900 of bergamont oil and about $3O0,0 900 worth of altar of roses, which, however, might be grown in the south- ern states. All of our supply now comes from Phillipoplis, in European Turkey, where the roses are cultivated on the sunny hillside by women and girls. When the buds unfold they go out with gunny sacks and scissors and nip off the blossoms, which they carry to an open shed. There the harvest is dumped upon a bench and they care- fully pull out the petals and throw them into baskets. After the baskets are filled the contents are dumped into retorts, half filled boiling water. The steam passes through a still and as 1t cools the oils drips from the end of the worm. The unadulterated oil of roses Is worth several dollars a pound and single drop of it will perfume a room forever.-W. F. CuCrtis in Chi cago Record Herald.

house or apartment all winter is a good way to get colds. One should keep the body well nourished by eating proper food; get inured to the cold by taking reasonable exercise outdoors. Don't let the house or office get too hot, and keep them well ventilated, preventative measures such as these will cause a large reduction in the number of colds. But they will be only partially effec- tive so long as theatres, street cars, and other public places and vehicles are poorly ventilated. Proper ventilation of all public places ought to be com pulsory.
 A cold is not in and of itself danger ous, but it may have the most serious It may, and often does, develop into grip, pneumonia, and tu- berculosis. Too much care, therefore. cannot be taken to avoid even slight colds.-Chieago Tribune.

FARMER WILSON'S DREAMS.
Perhaps Some of Them May Com,
 TRUE.

IRUE E.
 Secretary Wilson has a theory that we can supply all our national wants from our own soil, with the help of the Philippines, Porto Rico and the Ha- waiian Islands. We are now import ing a billion dollars worth of goods from foreign countries, the greater part of 1t raw material, for the use of our manufacturers, such as rubber, silk hides, hemp and wool, and food pro- ducts such as sugar. It is one of Pro- lessor Wilson's hobbies that we ought to raise all these things in our own land, and while he is in the Agricultu- ral Department he proposes to push that idea into practical form as far as he is able. He thinks we can raise all our coffee, sugar, rubber. chocolate, medicinal plants and tropical raw ma- terials in the Philippines, the Hawaiian Islands even stop at tea, which is now being cultivated on small scale in South Carolina. We buy $60,000, ,000 worth of coffee from Brazil and other South American countries, which he believes may be grown in our own in- sular possessions. The coffee of Por- to Rico and Hawaii is of very high grade. It is much betters than the average Brazilian product. At pre- sent, however, the cultivated area is limited, and the supply is correspond ingly small.
 The same remarks apply to sugar, for which we now spend s6O,OOO, 600 or 7O, ,0O0, ,000 every year in foreign coun- tries. We get a small amount from Hawaii and Porto Rico-nearly all
