SUFFERING.
Treatment by Which the Affliction May
 be Overcome.

Be Overcome.
 There is no cure for stuttering. This does not mean that no stutterer can be cured-far from it-but that there is no treatment which is sure to cure. If stutterer be taken in childhood, when the affliction is first noticed. and care fully treated he can sometimes be cur ed and generally much improved.
 Dr. Frank A. Bryant of New York, writing in the Medical Record, says the first thing to do is to make sure that there are no Instructions in the throat or nose. such as enlarged ton sils or adenoids. The child must be taught to breathe through his nose. deeply and slowly. as habit. He must not be allowed to speak when excited nor when laughing or crying or in the paroxysms of whooping cough. He must never be tickled. All causes of excitement must be removed. Fresh air, scrupulous cleanliness. plain. nour- ishing food. moderate exercise and plenty of sleep in a dark room are es- sential.
 Mental treatment is of great impor- tance. Any measures that will increase mental poise are of incomparable value. The stutterer must be impress ed with desire to overcome what is only bad habit. He must be per suaded to study the great art of speak ing correctly. Thus. by careful, pa tient work on the part of his parents, teachers and physicians. will he gradu- ally cure himself, or at least so i'm prove as to make the afiliction cease to be serious.

THE ALASKAN RAILROAD.

The description of the projected Alaskan railroad as the first test of government ownefship of a public utility in this country" ignores, among other government properties and act ivities, the Panama roads of about 300 miles of track, operated for con- mercial and canal construction pur- poses.
 In Panama the government carries more traffic per mile than is carried on any other road, with the excep- tion of few terminal lines, and op- crates with success, economy, and an unequaled record for protecting the safety of employees and passengers.
 The building and operating of the Alaskan railroad probably will have as little effect upon the general question of railroad control as the acquisition and operation of the Panama roads had. The purpose of the roads in operation and the purpose of the pro- -jected road are quite different, one being link between trade routes and the other passageway into rich and sundeveloped country, but both are severed by governmental policy which does not affect the question of general railroad control.
 The Panama roads have been an reflective answer to dogmatic state 4ments that government operation would mean inefficiency, but the Pan a1na success is made possible by virtual military dictatorship of high intelligence and integrity. The Alas ka project, not being associated with an enterprise so stupendous as to be memorable in it's demand for eff ciency, may fare worse, but it will not if the government applies to Alas Ka what it has learned in Panama. Here, one would say, is a new job for Goethals and his organization. .clamation of regret, when it seemed determined that the canal builder -was to try to shrink himself to fit the position of police commissioner in SNeW York City,
 For builder Alaska soon will of 16er more than Panama, when con- aEtruction ends and administration be- sglns.
 The publicity work of the interests determined to monopolize the wealth of Alaska was so effective for many years that public opinion was distort- ed. The absurdity of monopolistic -eagerness to acquire valueless con- sessions was carefully concealed for "a while, but in spite of corporation cunning and in spite of serious scan da1, the government stopped the raids upon public resources.
 By the construction of 1000 miles -.of road it is hoped that the coal and mineral lands of Alaska may be con- nected with one or more ports and that large agricultural areas may be -sopened up for settlement. Conserv- ative opinion holds it possible for Alaska not only to contribute to the wealth of the nation, but to support large population.
 The readiness of congress to auth 'orize the building of the railroad, thus continuing the road building policy of a hundred years ago, indicates the triumph Of this opinion.-Chicago
