A PROHIBITION VICTORY.

The concurrence of he United States Senate in the Webb bill, passed by the House, prohibiting the shipment of intoxicating ll- uuors from one state to another when the liquor is intended to be received or sold in dry zone, marks the continuation of d long fight by the Prohibitionists and temperance workers for federal aid in enforcing prohibition laws in the states.
 Under the ''original package decision of the Supreme Court Of the United states and under eX- isting jaws. the federal authOri- ties have refused to interfere with shipments of liquor from one state to a state that has pro- hibition laws. The friends of prohibition have argued that this has been the greatest obstacle to successful enforcement of the prohibitory laws. The enactment of the Webb law will remove that obstacle and make possible a demonstration of the ability of the "dry" states, to enforce their laws

Marine Mishaps in 1912.

 From Railway and Marine News,
 which prints a complete list of nhe casualities to Pacific coast shipping, We gathered that the terrors of Nor thern waters have not been great during that time.
 1 During the months of January and February there were no accidents to the boats plying Alaskan waters, but in March the steamer Bertha went ashore, bruisng fifteen feet of her keel forward and losing 70 feet of her shoe.
 In April the cod fishing schooner Joseph Russ was wrecked on Chlrl- koff island, southeast of Kodiak, and was total loss. In May the Santa Anna went sahore, damaging 65 feet Of her keel, five blanks and bllge keel; II. $. lighthouse tender Armer- ia wrecked off Cape Hinchlnbrook and was a total loss. In July the Marposa damaged her propeller landing at Latouche; the steamer Ed lith went ashore at Nome, was dn col lision with tNg Meteor. and her bow damgaed by ice; the Northland stranded at Petersburg; the steamer Delb was asore at ketchlkan, and 1.-the steamer Jeane was ashore at Yakutat cannery.
 During the month of August the steamer City of Seattle stranded near Ketchikna; steamer Mariposa ran in to the dock at Valdez and remained stuck in the mud for some dime; and the steamer Bertha stranded in Gastineau channel, tearing off 7c feet of her shoe.
 In September the steamer North land stranded ill Tongass' narroWs; the Santa Anna struck bottom at San Albertia bay, Prince of Wales ISL land, and damaged 50 feet of her shoe; and the steamer Elahu Thomp- son was ashore at Ketchikan.

Japanese Rules of Life.

The Japanese government mas
 printed in circular form and dls-
 lributrd among it's people the fol- lowing rules for guidance in mat = lcrs relating tn health: ! Spend as much time out of doors as possible. BaSk much in the sun and take plenty of rX- 'ercise. Take care that your res piratin is always deep and reg ular.
 As regards meals, eat meat on- ly once a day and let the diet be
 eggs, cereals and vegetables, fruit and fresh cows milk. Take the last named as much as possible.
 Masticatc your food carefully.
 Take a hot bath every day and
 steam bath once or twice a week if the heart is strong enough to bear it.
 Early to bed and early to rise. Sleep il, a very dark and very quiet room, with windowss open. | Let the minimum of sleeping hours be six OF six and pne-half hours. lin case of women eight and one-half hours is advisable. Take one day of absolute rest
 each week in which you must re- frain from even reading or writ ing.
 Try iu avoid any OutburSts of passion and strong mental stinl- ulations. Do not tax your brain at the occurrence of inevitable incidents or of coming events. Do not say unpleasant things or lis ten, if possible to avoid it. [" dis agreeable things. Be married. Widows and wid- overs should be married with the least possible delay. 1 Be moderate in the rnnSump- ; tiun of even tea and coffee. not l to say tobacco and alcoholic beverages.
 Avoid places that are too warm.
 especially steam heated and bad 1 ly ventilated rooms.

FEBRl AIRY 2d. IS
SCANDINAVIA IS NEUTRAL.

The kings of Norway. sweden and Denmark recently met m stockholm and signed treaty binding the three nations to keep out of international compllca- lions. They placed their coun- tries on record as strictly neu- tral. They agree among thenl- selves that they will take no hand and exhibit no signs of sympathy or good will, in case of trouble in Europe, no matter who may be fighting. There has been in each of the three countries an effort made to get the ScandlnaN- ian kingdoms to join i'll offensive and defensive alliance with one or the two great groups of European poWerss, the German-Austrlan- Italian combination or. the Brit ish, French and Russian alliance. The treaty just ratified is the out come of that agitation and the answer to it.
 The decision of the ScandinaN- ian rulers is wise one. The strength of their nations lies in neutrality and not in force of arms or in taking sides with com- batants. They control the en- trance and outlet to the Baltic. Every great nation in Europe wants that outlet in neutral hands and all are interested in seeing that the three kingdoms remain neutral. Self interest of their great neighborSs will preserve the integrity of the Scandinavian kingdoms. provided those nations keep out of entanglements, as they propose to do. The citizens of those three countries are en- titled to congratulation on hav- ing kings and counselors shreWd enough tc see the point and io avoid danger.
