CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION
It Requires Blood Remedy
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the Best.

Catarrh is as much blood dis
ease as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t
may be relieved, but it cannot be
removed by simply local treatment.
1t causes headache and dizziness,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing
and affects the voice, hurts the
stomach, deranges the digestion, and
breaks. down the general health.
One of its worst effects is the weak
ening of the delicate lung tissues,
which leads to consumption.
Old reliable Hood s Sarsaparilla
is found to be of great service in
the treatment Of catarrh. 1t goes
to the seat of the trouble, purifes
the blood, and is so successful that
it is known as the best remedy for
this common disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t
builds up. Ask your druggist fo,. it.

attempt is being made to arrange for a
special train to make the trip, for the bene-

For the frst tune in tbe history of Gastineau channel towns, robbers are having their day. Stores have been entered, safes blown open and holdups have taken place upon the public thor
 ouehfares. lt is indeed a serious con- dition, and the officers of the law are powerless. This may or may not be a reflection Dpon the character or the ability of tho force. A number of ar rests have been made, but the suspects have been turned loose for a lack of evidence against them. There are a number of idle men both in Juneau and Douglas, brought here by the eX- eitemeut of last summers boom. Most of them are honestly seeking work and are not of the class who would resort to crime. The police of both towns have vagged a few suspicious eharae ters, mostly those gentry who by choice "toil not, neither do they spiu," yet for dne raimeut they have Solomon backed off the map. They will come again. The people are becoming pauickyi tell ing stories of terrible crimes which never happened They are providing themselves with guns for the proteo
 ton of tAeiy homes. It is now no longer safe to borrow your neighboI's axe after dark. Re may shoot. kt is simply up to tAe police to do some thing. At Juneau they have been openly accused of compicity. They should now let the Indians and plais drunks rest fog a while and get busy.

Historic FIouse for Stka HOme

The Pioneers Home at Sitka received a valuable Christmas present in the form of additional lands and quarters. On December 23, A. c. Shoup, superin. tendeut of the institution, acting as agent for the governor of Alaska, gave a receipt to II. A. Crowell, custodian of the U. S. naval depot at Sitka for the building and ground last used as a naval hospital The lot or parcel of ground is 8Ox10O feet, adjoining the present home, and the building is 55X4O feet. The building has eight rooms and two baths. The vacant land is suitable for gardening and will be prized by the inmates of the Home for that use. The building is in bad repair, according 10 Superintendent Shoup, but can be fixed up and used advantageously.
 The building has great historic value. lt is a log structure and was construct ed about 70 years ago, during Russian occupation, and was formerly the gov. ernor's house. The building has since been covered with weather boarding. Later it was acquired by the naval de- partment aud converted into a hos pital. It has not been in use since the discontiuuance of the naval station at Sitka.
 The U. S. forestry service of Alaska wanted the buildicg and made applica- ton for it. The matter was referred to Gov. J. F. A. Strong by the secretary of the interior. Governor Strong ad- vised that the building could not be put to better use than to make it part of the Pioneers Home, which was iD great need of more accommodations. Governor Strong, is much pleased that the building has been acquired for the Home.-Empire.

really bad, it is evident that be is not at all satisfied with the treatment given patients, as compared with other in stitutions of the kind. He has also discovered that the cost of caring for the Alaska insane is greater than is paid at the Washington institution. As the governor has held that these un. fortunates should be cared for in Alas ka, this will tend to strengthen his convictions.

There may be a lesson to the govern ment in the disappearance of the Tein- deer recently brought to Annette island froD the far north. These ani mals, accustomed to the bardships of Arctic winters, became a ready prey to Che wolves, which are also destroying Che native deer. Now it is up to the government to get rid of the.wolves. A small bounty a few years ago would have accomplished their extermination. Now it will take longer. We are too far from Washington, and the country needs a larger measure of self govern ment

The appointment ofChas. D. Bunnell, of Valdez, as judge of the Fourth di- vision, is made. To be a candidate for delegate to congress on the demo cratic ticket in Alaska has been used before as a stepping stone to a position on the hench. It was asserted during the campaign that Mir. Bunnen was in. duced to accept the nomination by such a promise. In that case be is smarter than we thought.

Even the postot8ce clerks in tAe larger cities ot the States have very limited idea of Alaska. Some time ago Leivers, the candy man. requested bis niece, who lives in Des Moiues, Iowa, to send him a bunch of ictas for prize packages. She went to d sub station os the rostof8ce department and was ths7e told that the ports of Alaska were frozen in during the win ter months. She met the sSme objec- tion at the main of8ce from several of the clerks, snd it was only when she appealed to the postmaster tu person that the package was hually accepted. A Chicago wholesale house wrote that orders from. foreign countries must be accompanied by the cash, taking it for granted that Alaska is a foreign coau Cry. A ticket ageat in the States re fused to sell a through ticket to Doug las, because the boats could not run in the winter months. Go where you will, the same ignorance of Alaska is shere. Yet these people through their representatives are perfectly willing to make oOr laws, and say what we shall eat and drink and when.

further involve Japan and America
1t is understood that Bryan wrote
the committee that he desired no
steps taken tending to delay the new
treaty which he hopes to negotiate
fixing the exact status of the Japan
csc in America and the Americans in
Japan. The committees decision to
drop the hearing followed hours spent

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 22.-"There's

Warden p. E. Thomas, the first ,ex-

Ohio's famous old penitentiary, to-
day told the United Press cores
pondent that the honor system among
convicts is a success. Warden Thon
as has experimental with the honor
system in Ohio, little over year
today. Here are few plain facts
about the system as explained by the
warden.
About 300 men are working in the
open air on their honor. A big per
centage of the men are building roads
for the state. Guards are not need
ed; an overseer bosses the work. The
largest per cent of 'honor men" are
life termers. They wear blue over
all like ordinary laborers and have
Sunday clothes. They 90 to church
on Sundays. They work eight hours
a day. They are paid five cents an
hour; ninety per cent goes to their
dependents, the rest to them. Less
than one per cent have tried to es-
cape in year. Honor men have all

SAYS SEX TEACHING
Is BOUND TO COME

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, Jan22-Sex
hygiene can never be taught success
fully in the schools until the minimum
age and wage of the country girls
school teacher is raised. in the opin-
ion of Prof. w. b. Miller, secretary
of education of the university of III
inois. Reviewing the recent action Of
the Illinois State Teachers associa-
ton in voting to create section in
the association for the discussion
of moral and religious subjects" look
ing toward sex education, and the
contrary action of the board Of edu-
cation of Chicago in voting out sex
lectures after four months trial, Mil
Ter declared his belief that sex edn-
cation eventually must come, but that
it probably will have to be proceeded
by distinct preliminary changes in the
school system.
"Of course, at the bottom of the
question lies the primary fact that
the parents ought to teach their child
rem" said Miller today, agreeing with
Governor Dunno and other speakers
before the recent state teachers con-
vention. But so long as they do not,
and there appears no likelihood that
a majority of them will soon, the
school system ought to provide for
such degree of the education as
seems desirable. Just how far such
education should go will first have to
be determined. 1t must be plain to
anyone that any course in PHYSIOLOGY
and hygiene which entirely neglects
the responsive or productive organs
and functions is incomplete. Educa-
tors must decide how to give boys
and girls the same knowledge of
these organs and functions as they
do of the heart and the stomach or
eye.
Despite the unfayorable start made
in Chicago, il seems possible that
few more years of study and exe
perimentation will develop the meth
DDS best applicable to city schools.
But country schools have peculiar
difficulty. In Illinois, for example,
and | believe the average of states
will show the same condition. there
are over three thousand school teach
ers receiving a salary Of less than
$500 year. ] do not argue the
.,,ar;t. cf bt,rb.,- SO. Io,;.e bara hut
it obvious that no person of great
experience and skill in teaching or
great tact in handling of children
can be secured for the salary. What
is the fact? Most OF the teachers in
the country schools are girls, barely
past the minimum age for teachers
and with absolutely no experience
beyond the grades, or perhaps a year
or so of high school or normal work.
1t will never do TO trust the teach
ing of the sex problem to these girls.
The blind should not lead, and the
unlearned cannot be expected to teach
well.
at all means the, that there must
be special training for teachers
in the sex courses. 1t will come
doubtless with the general tendency
toward better teaching of teachers,
through the enlargement of normals
and colleges and university courses
in education"
