CONSERVATION OF HEALTH

"Despite the tears of many and the angry exOsulaon of others the daughters of Boston best citizens treated like many immigrants says the highly respectable Tacoma Tribune in editorial commenting the matterthe inference being, of cOurse that in the of immigrants the tears and exIostulaon might be dsregarded with propriety But age family, apparent state of health made difference and the detailed of the tire student body ill the schools went said the Tribune

ADVICE TO THOSE WHO ARE
 CONTEMPLATING lfATnIMONY

Charlottesville, Nu.-Girls cOntem- plating matrimony will do well to write to John Armstrong Chajoaer, who recently discovered test for per sonal magnetism, By making the test in time, according to Mr. Chaloner, many unhappy marriages might be avoided. MT. Chaloner himself was divorced by the Princess Troubletsl1oy, nee Amelia Rives, on the ground of in- compatibility of temperament
 "Through the lest" Mc. Cha!oner say, "a young woman might discover that her suitor was of cold-blooded phlegmatic temperament and disposi- ton at heart, though by practice he had been able to enact the passionate. My little mysterious N-force, if applied, would show him up.
 Ratings in magnetic power will be put forward by all the matrimonial agencies when endorsing the charm of any male or female clients. For ex- ample: Attractive blonde, not peroxide. weight l25 pounds; height , feet , inches, piquant features, retroussa nose, svelte figure, kindly domestic disposition, modified magnetic power, 9S per cent.
 Mir. Chaloncr told of his discovery in testifying to his suit to have him. self declared sane in the state Of New York. He showed that the test can be simply made. All one has to do is to take a silk necktie- floss silk was the kind h9 used-and place it against cloth curtain. The curtain employed in the court demonstration by him was of the kind commonly called rep. Talk ing the necktie by one end he pressed it against the curtain; the tie being held perpendicular to the floor. The four fingers are together and the thumb, pointing downward, also presses against the scarf. If one is ''mag- netic," after few minutes the fingers being removed, the tie will remain hanging as though pinned or mucilaged. If not magnetic, the tie will fall to the htor, and the experimenter be shown heartless, cold-blooded wretch who could not possibly love his wife with the fervor of q ''best seller" hero.
 Not on]y," says Mr ChaIoner, "can the ladies find out whether a certain man is magnetic but contests in magnetism can be instituted between members of the opposite sexes. The frequently deadly boresome after-dn- her period may be greatly enlivened in this way"

come to terms with the stalker or not dig.
 Stakers are not to blame, Their operations are founded on the law as int erpreted. The workers are not to blame for declining to dig holes when to the hazard of such work is added 4 penalty of 25 per cent. on whatever their earnings may happen to be. The newspapers themselves are responsi- ble, if there is any responsibility in Alaska at all. While Alaska's dele date in congress was trying to have q law passed to make it impossible for d few men to stake unlimited areas of ground, large proportion of the news papers were doing all in their power to thwart him. When such d law passed the house and was sidetracked by the senate, these same newspapers gloated over its death. The prospect DTS wanted the law-even the hatchet- andpencil prOspectors. It was the newspapers that didn't want it. They wanted anything that would discredit the representative the prospectors had honored with their confidence.
 The Ruby Citizen is too young to be responsible for the things it complains of. Several other papers are guiltless in the matter. But it will possibly occur to the prospectors that even such are Judging a little when they attrib- ute hoggishness to people on one side of bad situation and laziness to those on the other. With three hundred creeks staked and less than thirty holes down, with town and district full of pencil and hatchet and pick and shovel prospectors and gray old winter hiking over the divide toward a preca- rious spring, t0 lay the fault to indi- vidual demerit of the kind hinted at by the Citizen would be to accredit Ruby with an aggregation of hogs and lazy bones awful to contemplate.
Iditarod pioneer., 1912-01-27

tell him pretty quick to mind his own business. The ground owner has taken advantage of the law, as it has been interpreted, to make whoever prospects or works the ground do so on such terms as he sees fit to impose. The newspaper might just as well tell the workers to accept the inevitable and get busy regardless of the chances ot deriving a benefit from their labor. It is a case where individual interests are in conflict. end the individuals will act each according as he thinks best for himself.
 Indeed, the Citizen in another article in the same issue remarks that Eff the idle men who have been about town all winter would get out on the creeks and do little prospecting it would take a very short time to uncover all the paystreaks which are now lying hidden in this district" Thus, while the "hog-it-alls" are chidden, idleness is not condoned.
 The Citizen quotes @ man as saying that less than thirty holes have been bedrocked in the entire Ruby district. A month or two ago a statement was seen to the effect that some three hun dred creeks had been staked. The area of ground located" in the district and held for chance profit through sale, lease or other contrivance involving nc outlay of money or labor must be i'm mense. The men who have thus bot. tied up great region of possible pro- duction are not to blame. The process is gone through in every locality where a likely prospect of gold is found. Just now in the Aniak district the men who got in and did the stalking are-and are entitled to be-called lib- eral when they exact only one fourth of the possible product from men whom they permit to go on untested ground and dig. This kind of thing has be. come so common that practically all development of placer ground is done under that system; or else the ground is prospected with a privilege of buy ing it outright by paying the stalker a stipulated sum. It is a question oi
