BIB WASTE IN
 EGGS YEARLY.

Washington, April 1.-Two hun dred million dollars worth of eggs wasted every year! This is the startling estimate of the Depart ment of Agriculture today after a careful investigation of this phase of the high cost of living. Of this vast amount, fifty million is at trbiuted to needless breakage in transit, and the remainder to bad handling which causes adding, spelling and deterioration. Two hundred millions dollars worth of eggs practically thrown away a year-or else fit only for strong palates, for tanning, or to swell those unpleasant monuments of Am erican waste-the garbage heaps. Uncle Sam is doing his level best just now to teach people how to se- cure. more and better eggs, and how to properly pack, grade and candle them. The first task is undertaken through the bureau of animal industry, the second through demonstration cars sent into the vast corn belt. Uncle Sam has de- cided that cold and cleanliness are the best means to preserve eggs. Likewise he is putting in a boost for the little gray hen. He says, use her right, feed her right, and she will repay"

TO THE VOTERS OF SKAGWAY.

After carrying notice in the Al askan stating that no man on the opposition ticket would be endocs- ed, the Non Partisan ticket en- dorsed four men on the Taxpayers ticket, and then nominated three, on their own, two Of whom they expect to slaughter and vote for two of the three Taxpayers, not endorsed on their ticket, to defeat Tanner.
 WHAT HAS THE TAXPAYERS PARTY DONE FOR sKAGWAY?
 During it's administration it has paid an indebtedness of former coun cil of oyer three thousand dollars, and the town has now nearly eight thousand dollars in the treasury, and over two thousand dollars due from saloon licenses and Moore's Wharf Go.
 It saved the property owners about five thousand dollars by making the fight on the townsite trustee, whereby he was compell- ed to reduce his estimate four thousand dollars, and turn back to the town nearly eight hundred dollars in cash last fall, and Tan ner, as you all know, was the on- ly taxpayer on the council to fight for the people, the balance of the council belonging to the citizens party.
 Who wrote Phil Abrahams to procure a petition asking the Gov ernment to build a wagon road to the summit. Who Introduced a memorial in the Senate memorabilia ing Congress to build same? (J. NJ.

 Tomorrow you will be called up- on 10 deside by your votes who shall represent you on the coun- ell of the coming year Shall it be one who will be opposed to the wagon road or one who will fight for it?
 If elected I shall vote to reduce the taxes one half, as l believe that amount will be sufficient for the running of the town with the amount now on hand
 We leave the voters to decide.

How to Get Fat
Use Samose, Says a Druggist and Put
on Good Flesh.

The almost universal interest in
physical culture is the best evidence
that can be offered as to the need Of
a simple and scientific method of max
ing thin people fat increasing strength
and restoring health.
Athletics when carried to an extreme,
often result in straining the vital organs
How much better it would be for the
average person to regain health,
strength and flesh by using Samose
This flesh forming food is assimilated as
soon as 1t enters the stomach; it helps
the organs to assimilate the food and
extract the flesh forming elements it
builds up the muscles and rounds out
the limbs into shapely plumpness
Samose has been so successful IN
making thin people fat and restoring the
weak and run down to strength and
health that Jacobs Pharmacies, the
popular druggists, sell it under their
personal guarantee to refund the money
if it does not benefit.
An offer like this certainly shows re-
markable faith in the powers of Sam
ose to do all that is claimed for It. NO
one should suffer any longer from
thin, rundown condition, now that
Samose's remarkable powers are known

His hat was tied over his ears with

SEVENTH CHAPTER.

w the sun was was shining %SHl s'''a and.
after my hair had been
brushed smooth over my forehead, l
was sitting up in bed eating for
breakfast the smallest of bantam
eggs with the smallest of silver
spoons when the door opened with
bang and small figure tumbled
into my room.
1t was boy, two years older than
myself. He Wore gray Norfolk
jacket and knickerbockers, but the
popularity of his dress was a white
felt hat of enormous size which be-
ing soiled and turned down in the
brim, and having d hole in the crown
with crop of his brown hair stick
ing through it, gave him the appear
ance of a damaged mushroom.
Except that on entering he tipped
up his head so that | saw his face,
which was far from beautiful and
yet had two big blue eyes-as blue
as the bluest sea-he took no no
tice of my presence, but tossed a
somersault in the middle of the floor.
Il
chair. vaulted over a table and finally
stood on his hands with his legs
against the wall opposite to my bed,
and his inverted Countenance close
to the carpet.
In this position, in which he was
clearly making a point of remaining
as long as possible, while his face
grew very red we held our first con
versaton. l had hitherto sat propped
up as quiet as a mouse, but now l
said
Little boy. what's your name?"
Mart" was the answer.
Where do you come FROM"
"SpitZbergen.
| can not remember that this intel
ligence astonished me. for when the
inverted face had become scarlet, and
the legs went down and the head
came up, and my visitor tossed sew
eral somersaults over the end of my
bed, to the danger OF my breakfast
tray, and then without word more
tumbled out of the room, | was still
watching in establishment.
| did not know at that time that
these were the ways which since the
beginning of the world have always
been employed by savages and BOYS
when they desire to commend them
selves to the female of their kind, SO
that when the DOCTORS wife came
smiling upstairs | asked her if the
| little boy who had been to see me
was not quite well.
Bless you, yes, dear. but that's his
way" she said, and then she told me
all about him
Martin Conrad.
His name was Martin Conrad. and
he was her only child. His hat. which
had awakened my interest. was an old
one of his fathers, and il was the last
thing he took off when he undressed
for bed at night and tho first thing
he put on in the morning When the
hole came into its crown his mother
had tried To hide IL away. but he had
always found il, and when she threw
It into the river he had fished IT out
1 again.
He was the strangest boy, fun OF
the funniest fanCieS He used to say
that before he was born he lived In
a tree and was the fellow who turned
on the rain. 1t was with difficulty

In a mud cabin on the shore and
passed the doctors house on his way
to work Long ago Tommy had told
the BOY tremendous story. 1t was
about Arctic exploration and an ex-
petition he had joined in search of
Franklin. This had made an over
towering impression on Martin. who
Tor months afterward would stand

But later on Martin conceived the
idea that the North Pole was the To-
cality Immediately surrounding his
fathers house. and every day he
would set out on voyages of explora-
ton over the garden. the road and
the shore, finding by his own ae-
count. a vast world of mysterious
things and undiscovered places. BY
some means-nobody knew how-the
boy who could not learn his lessons
studied his fathers German atlas,
and there was not name in it north
of Spitzoergen which he had not got

Greenland, and the Black Head be

and Marthas Outlet became New ST.

bell anchored on it, became the pivot
of the earth itself.
