a relief from many weary weeks OF intense
suffering, was q heavy blow to his family,
and they have the deepest sympathy of
all.

CURE FOR DISHONESTY.

Not unless the people of ePnnsyl- vania take the striking lesson they have just had in these graft cases close to heart can We see any immedi- ate signs for security in the future. Not by securing restitution of part of the stolen funds: not by sending in dividual grafters to the penitentiarv can the state hope for any permanent reform. It is not by guarding public officials so that dishonesty is made difficult that ills such as Pennsylvania has suffered can be cured. The cure must begin from the ground up: it must start with the people themselves. who must be brought to realize that what they want Is honest and able public service, and that they can get what they want only by using intel ligently and wisely the most potent and formidable and successful weapon against graft-the ballot.

LESSONS OF THE LATE FIRE.

The fire of April 1. carried with it some lessons which, it seems, the people of every community must learn over and over against Every one knew that the danger of a dis astrous confiagration was ever presen, "a confagration that might in an hour ar two, wipe out practically the entire business section of the town: ard yet very little preparation was mac for such a contingency Small ch cal engines will put out an incipient blaze. but they are utterly powerless 10 stem fire of any magnitude. Any experi- enced fireman will tell you this The way to fight fire Is to prevent it. an old fire fighter is quoted as saving And il is a probable fact in view of north ern fire history that the only way to have prevented the recent fire. would have been to eliminate the menace from that section But none objected audibly at least.
 Ai'bs hitu ltS-lilt ltfSl blE Ire m the towns brief history-came. there was not even a hook. a ladder. and hardly anything else to fight fire with except stout hearts and willing hands
 As this Is put into tyne we do not know what the re7ult of the election for the incorporation of the town may be. We hope and believe it will be accomplished. for then there will he an organized government of the town and not only can something like ef- ficient fire protection be had. but pub lie menaces and nuisances in public thoroughfares can be speedily abated by the initiative of the governing body.

 The public park is a grand move but the installing of test mill should not be overlooked. The future of Nome depends more upon the development of quartz than upon any other one thing. Those back of the quartz movement should not overlook the present time to raise sufficient funds to have a test mill installed here in Nome where ores could be treated. The people are in good humor and no doubt a subscrip- tion of two or three thousand could he raised for the purpse. So the mill could be installed during the coming summer.

REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
Primarily Religious Anniversary,
and Only SecondarIy Festival
of Good Cheer.

AS Christmas day draws near the
question arise how far the opportunity
to make others happy has been util-
fzed. To whom has the essential mes
sage of this season been carried, the
message of good will?
This is not a question of what has
been given in form of physical tokens.
The Christmas spirit is not confined
to the exchanging of gifts. A word, a
letter, a handclasp may suffice. The
exchange of greetings should never be
perfunctory at such a time. Wishing
another Merry Christmas" should ex-
press the hope that his day may be
in truth happy one. happy In all it's
significance and possibilities, and that
it may be a token of brighter, more
joyous times to come.
A certain veneer of custom has en-
vironed this most significant of all
festal days. There is danger that the
real meaning of it may be lost in
the somewhat commercial spirit that
has developed of late years. In the
churches hymns of praise are sung
and sermons are preached to bring
back the thoughts of men to the real
nature of the day, but each individual
may make it true Christmas by ap-
plying the principles of him whose
birth is about to be celebrated. Let 1t
not be forgotten that after all Christ
mas is primarily the anniversary OF
the event which forms the foundation
of the Christian religion, and only Sec
ondarily a festival of good cheer and
personal jubilation.

II Means Health

The careful mother, who watches close

important thing in connection with a

So l washed my hair thoroughly but
l saw that they wouldn't come out.
Then at the end of the next week I
washed my hair again, and to my
establishment l saw not only those
few but many more had come. Then
my head became worse and worse, and
my scalp started to itch terribly, so
that l could not sleep nor keep from
scratching my head.

also itched something terrible. tried
many remedies but none helped and
instead they made my head worse.
