Writer Sees Humor
In Health Rules

From a New York paper is taken
the following humorous ccmmen;
abou. trouble between the free
lunch saloons and the board of health
of that city:
Rowing over the saloon free-,unch
counter. the watchful eye of the
board Of health has lighted with
disapproval on the fork that spears
potato salad and sauerkraut. 1t notes
that this overworked implement pass-
es from hand to hand and mouth to
mouth with but rare and fleeing
dip in glass of cold water. the
which only refreshes the microbes
and tones them up for business.
"Free-lunch patrons have felt a
certain delicacy and diffidence about
calling attention to the dangers to
which they are subjected by search
ty of forks and antiseptics. But now
that the board of health mentions
the matter, wouldn't it be safer to in
sist that the kartOffel salad be sery-
ed on separate plates under glass
with individual forks and napkins
or maybe put up in sealed jars to
take home?
THE saloon man must be remind
ed that his patrons visit him for
their health"

brought to an end the war OF 1872,

Prosperous Period
Is Now at Hand

Evidences Of the prosperous pc
Rod into which the country is now
slipping are accommodating rapidly
in all parts Of the nation and in all
spheres of business activity. says
the Seattle Sun.
For instance. James D. Hoge calls
attention to the significant fact that
while it was necessary few months
ago for Seattle banks to absorb the
refunding 5 per cent bonds OF the
city because there was no market
for them in the East, his bank has
just placed a part Of the same issue
in the East at premium.
The fact Is the bond market has
not for a year or more shown great
er activity than 1t Is now showing.
Reports from all over the country
are extremely optimistic.
1t Is no longer question of guess
ing at a general and wholesale bust
ness revival
Business, in it's broadcast meaning,
already has arrived.
For instance, the Financial World,
discussing the security market gen
orally, says "all doubt and trepi-
ia ion are passing away that
confidence is returning" and that
with It's coming the wheels CT in
dustry are again beginning to bestir
themselves"
AS a fact, there is not the old
hurtful feeling Of timidity in the
business world now which for some
time had burdened It, 1t has given
way to feeling Of confidence and
hope.
The hoarder has begun t. dig the
money out OF his sock and is looking
for chance to invest l.. We are rap
idly passing the period Ct uncoun:ed
millions OF idle money. and an
army of idle men, and entering upon
period Of peace and plenty.

Files His Report

In his February report, filed Tues
day with the city clerk, P. A. Knowl-
ton, principal of Fairbanks school,
recommended that repairs to the
building should be made in such a
way as to deaden the sound between
the floors.
1t is explained by Mr.. Knowlton
that since the arrival OF Miss Coffey,
the new high school teacher, several
changes for the better have been
made in the high school program Of
classes.
The large number Of absences is
explained by the fact that there were
number Of cases Of mumps during
the month in large families. thus in

by the disease.

to the opinion expressed by Dan Nc

letter recently received here from

has returned to Ruby, whore he will
remain until the beginning OF spring

says that some good pay has been
located in the Marshal City district,
but not enough to classify it as
good mining locality.
