ADMITS PORTER GAVE
REEVES sa5 on JULY 1,

The defense. he said. would admit
that Porter had given Reeves s25 on
July II, but that the amount was for
the purpose of defraying the Du Pont
chiefs expense to the police chiefs
convention at Newport News. He cited
other incidents by which he expected
to prove that Porter was alleged to
have given money to officers while he
was away from Hopewcll
Supervisor Reeves was the first wit
ness for the Commonwealth, and his
evidence was concluded just before
the adjournment of conrt until to- day
Reeves stated that Porter had given
him S25 as his rake or from the
gambling operations in Hopewell. and
later had given him $50. The witness
asserted that lie had the money to pay
his way to Newport News. and had so
told Porter, when the latter had
preached the subject to him. Reeves
said that he had been directed TO get
evidence of gambling and other law
lcssness at Hopewell. and had done so
TO the best of his ability. The S25 In
marked bills was offered In evidence
Mr.. Mann subjected Reeves to rigid
cross cXa mination. and sought TO show
that the witness and other members
of the Da Pont force were "Pinkerton"
men. The supervisor denied thnt he
had ever been In the employ OF the
Pinkertons. or that he had knowledge
of any other Of his officers having been
connected with the agency.
Direct insinuations that he knew OF

were met by statements that he hal

LET US BE CONSISTENT

Consistency is a jewel, and consequently
 Every Alaskan is agreed that should have more power say in the government of affairs That fully capable to manage our country and all this Yet there who maintain that we should be shacked to certain extent. That ter ritorial and not state form of government should be given But why the curtailment of power? De expect to become brighter more intelligent in a year two than what today? If not, then why not ask for that which want and not for that which we have a better chance to get?
 The question of abtaining full power to govern selves is constantly kept before the people of Juneau Some are advocating territorial form of government and others state form of government. And still others are saying nothing, and there you If could only agree might pull together and get what we want. But the trouble is cannot-or will not, which amounts to the thing.
 We take it that with Alaskans there is nothing too good If such is the case why not be consistent and pull for statehood? By asking for statehood in the event that the powers that be differ with us shall not have diminished chances for getting second choice As matter of fact, it is mighty good policy to ask plenty. It is we'll known fact that looked upon, at least have been treated beggars thus far, and beggar is for asking for million than for asking for dollar. He is a beggar just the If fight together for state hood we may have the opportunity to show Congress that after all manage affairs under a ter rtoral form of government, who knows but what we would get that much Instead, if keep on hammer ing at each other the chances very much against getting anything Besides, should not lose sight the fact that we, Alaskan agreed at least one point and that is there is nothing too good for us

LET IN THE SUNSHINE

Is the place in which, you live home in the sense of what home should be? Has the place in which you live any attraction? any power to draw you there? When away do you feel that the time drags? Does your mind wonder back to your home If it does, you have real home.
 What call real home is than four walls and roof. It is than place where you get your meals and sleep. real home is place where the shines; where you made welcome, where the environments harmonious congenia and pleas ant. But in order to obtain real home we must demean ourselves in such manner will invite sun shine. We must not go home with grouch. If you want to get rid of emotion suppress its mani festation Banish the goruch before you enter your home
 Be the home ever humble if temper is sub ded; if the worries of the days work put aside and replaced by little show of affection for your little wife, the humble home becomes palace lighted by sunshine and harboring harmony love and content ment All this be had with little effort our part and consideration for others-a happy combna- tion-and instead of a hell to live in we have real home.

WHAT IS DISSIPATION?
(F1om the American Magazine)


 1 think sometimes that common definition of dissipation is far too We confine it to crude excesses in the of intoxicating liquor or the crude qualification of the passions; but often these only the outward symbols of subtle inward disorder. The things of the world-a thous- and camoring interests, desires, possessions-have got the better of Men become drunken with the inordinate desire for owning things and dssoute with ambition for political office. I knew a man once, farmer who debauched himself upon land; fed his appetite upon the happiness of his home, cheated his children of educaton and himself went shabby, bookess, oyless comfortess, that he might buy land. 1 call that dissipation, too.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you

body's urinous waste, else you have

made by covering the whole with
metal lace or gold net. 1t is possible
to obtain somewhat the same effect by
stretching a piece of old lace curtain
on an improvised frame of some sort
gliding it very lightly with gold paint
then removing it and applying it to the
basket.
The boudoir baskets are sometimes
lined with silk, as well as having an
outside covering of it. If such a lining
is placed in the basket it should be
fastened only with large basting
stitches, so that it can readily be re.
moved and washed when soiled.
The silk ~wastebasket makes a
charming and imposing gift for the
holidays, and one which is not so ex.
pensive as its impression is favorable.

IN THE BOUDOIR FURNISHING
W~astebasket, Simple or Elaborate, Is
Something That Must Be Given
Consideration.

The boudoir wastebasket is a dainty
thing, and not so impracticable as one
would think it upon first glance. 1t
may be very simple or it may be very
elaborate, according to the time and
material which you have to give to it.
An ordinary wire basket, such as is
used in offices, of the smallest size, is
best for the purpose, but a wicker one
may be used if you already have one
on hand. Cover the outside of the
basket with silk that in color har-
monies with the boudoir or bed
room for which it is intended. From
two to three widths of material may
be needed for this silk covering, de-
pending, of course, upon the width
of the material and the circumference
of the wastebasket. One way of ad-
justing the silk cover to the basket
is to III a gathering thread along the
bottom edge latter having scanned
the widths of the two narrow ends of
the whole together) of the silk, and
pull the thread tight until a sort of

SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY
HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY 1T!
Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark,
Glossy and Thick With Garden
Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can

evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. For so cents you can buy at
any drug store the re~ady-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. BY morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also dis

the most afflicted nation in the world.
larger numbers of beautiful plants

KEEPING THE GLOVES CLEAN
One Woman's Simple Contrivanc,
That May Be Recommended as
Most Useful.

Most women are using their fur
now, and since white gloves are so
popular this year it has become a
problem to keep the gloves clean.
A young woman who is well sup
piled with many practical accessories
to dress seems to have solved this
puzzle.
She displayed a simple continuance
made of fancy silk.
The silk was sewed together to
form a separate lining and made a
trife smaller than the regular lining,
with a casing at each end through
which was I'll elastic drawn up to
hold the lining tight about the wrists.
Use some material that launders
well and often. White silk doesn't.
The lining may have to be washed two
or three times a week. 1t is much
easier to wash the lining than to clear
the gloves.

The Worlds Problem

Christ saw that men took life pain
fully. To some it was a WEAKNESS
to others a failure, to many a trag
edy, to all a struggle and a pain. How
to carry this burden of life had been
the whole worlds problem. 1t is still
the whole worlds problem. And here
is Christ's solution: Garry it as
do. Take life as l take it. Look al
it from my point of view. Interpret
it upon my principles. Take my yoke
and learn of me, and you will find il
easy. For my yoke is easy, works
easily, sits right upon the shoulders
and therefore my burden is light

Jesus Lives.

You will only love the Lord Jesus

living Saviour-one who, once dead,
dieth no more. Jesus lives. He was
not more alive when he sat at Jacobs
well than he is alive at this moment.
He was not more alive when he poured
the water into the basin and washed
the disciples feet; not more alive
when he took the cup and made a be-
ginning of the remembrance feast; not
more alive when he rose from table
and sang the parting hymn and went
out before them to the Mount of Oh
ives than he is living now. The Lord
Jesus lives. He is alive for ever
