ALASKA ENTERS
 UPON NEW ERA


 All history shows that hul3an pro sress is ever travelling westward Ancient civilization, such as t was started in Asia. Then lt went west ward throughout Europe Then cross ed the Atlantic and took foot in New England. For more thar 100 years the settlement and development oi North America has been slowly work ing westward, and now the only re maining frontier Is Alaska.
 This westward movement Of civil ized humanity, which follows tho couree of tho sun, is always promoted by men and women of more than ordt nary energy and enterprise. It is their superabundant vitality that urg- es them restlessly to search for great CT opportunity in undeyeloped coun. tries, such as Alaslsa
 Until now the opportunities offered by Alaska to people in the thicsly set tied sections have been limited prac. tically to Q few placer mines of a rich ness that would make their develop ment possible under adverse coniii- tons. But the new government rail road is the magic wand that is prom ising to change 1t all and make of this neglected land country of al- most unlimited opportunities.
 One worthy thing promotes anoth- er and the new government railroad is certain to be the cause of other important public enterprises. IL can be expected that the coal mines that the government will control will be utilized in Q hundred different ways to make more available the rich re- sources of Alaska. There will be pow CT plants from which will radiate feed wires to thousand industrial under takings. There will be further rail- road extension as population and in- dustyy grow. There will be factories that win convert the raw products of the Territory into articles Of com. merce, and there will be farms and homes and cities where there are now only trees and underbrush and wasted vegetation.
 The men who come to Alaska now and take part in it's initial develop ment, will be the men of local import ance few years hence. Thus the young men of energy win find ip Alas lSa opportunities that, f taken advan- tage of now, will mean riches and good social standing in time to come.
 What we need to do now is to let the world know what Alaska has to offer to the proper kind of peo- ple We want to keep out of Alaska -he men who are habitual faultfnders and encourage boosters to come.
 Much of Alaska's present popula- ton is made up of men who are doing everything in their power to promote he Territory's best interest. It Is -o be expected that they will attract many others of their kind. -- (Fair- 1 banks Citizen.)

Wall papers in damask designs are

than our table damask, but it is made
in many colorS. which make possible
many beautiful effects.

The Fashions and the Home
MASSAGlNG THE Feet.
Daily Treatment Beneficial If They
Are Troublesome.

Are Troublesome.
Where the feet are in good condition
a massage lightly given about once 4
week will prove quite beneficial. But
when feet are in a troublesome condi-
ton they must. to obtain relief. be
treated daily. One thing the feet need
very much. and of which they get very
little, is air. They should be freed
from shoes and stockings at least half
an hour every day. True. the feet are
bare at night time; but. as Il rule. they
are not uncovered. so they do not get
much air.
Daily bathing, a weekly massage.
properly fitting shoes and stockings.
with a daily change of the latter and
sufficient airing. would relieve and un-
dOuhtedly cure mostly all foot troubles.
Still, there is another thing to be men
toned regarding the care of the feet,
and thc, is the stockings. Sometimes.
where apparently no trouble 9; all ex-
lists and the feet are given the best
possible attention, they begin to smart
and burn.
White or unbleached stockings are
usually the best .or the feet. but some
women prefer colored, and for that
reason it is advisab bic to purchase those
with at least white soles. This part of
the stocking is never seen. even with
low shoes, and the white sole will
prove a great benefit to the feet.

Egg stains should be soaked in cold

covered in Petrogrdd,

Petrograd, Nov. 23.-It Is semi-of
ficially announced that the police
have discovered revolutionary plo'
In which several members of the du
ma are inculpated. Several arrests
have been made.
The semi-official statement says,
"At the beginning of the war most
Of the Russian people were conscious
of the necessity of defending the dig
nifty and integrity of the fatherland
and were unanimous In assisting the
authorities in the accomplishment OF
the tasks incurred by the operations
of war.
IAN altogether different attitude was
observed by some members Of the So
cial Democratic association, who con
tinued an activity aiming at the down.
fall of Russia's military power by
means of an anti-war agitation. the
distribution of secret proclamations
and the conducting of propaganda
by word of mouth.
'On Nov II the police discovered
that a meeting of the said conference
was to be held in a house in Viborg
road. eight mics from Petrograd. A
detachment of police arrived on the
scene and found there eleven persons
including the following members Of
the duma-Messrs Pttrovsky, Bada-
veff, Mournaloff. Samoeloff and Cha
goff.
There being no doubt as to the
anti-government object of the confer
ence, the members of the meeting
wree arrested after search. with
the exception of the members of the
duma, who were relased.

God for the present state of war. But

writes. "In everything give thanks"
Ripe Christians have learned to
thank God for life's adversities. con-
vinced that the direct calamity may be
overruled for good to His people and
glory to His name. But only advanc-
ed Christians can give thanks for trials
and testings. Similarly in respect to
the great European war now in prog
ress. only the well-instructed of Gods
people may understand the Divine ar
able to give thanks respecting the war
able to exercise faith that the out
come will mean blessings of instruction
and preparation for future blessings.
II the Scriptures did not foretell this
time of worldwide distress of ma
tions," we might not know that God
had foreseen it and had provided for
its results. But the same Bible that
foretells the war tells of its results.
