Good Housekeeping Is The
Road TO Economy.

When homes are planned the
housewife wants to commence
with the kitchen, and here, |
think, she is right. It is easier
to alter almost any other room
than the kitchen, and no other
room deserves a bit more careful
planning.
Whether convenience or cheer
fulness is most important in this
work place is mooted question,
but it would seem if cupboards,
flour bins and shelves were all
compact and convenient good
cheer would reign. 1t is general
ly the absence Of light that makes
a kitchen gloomy. Often there
is no room over the; kitchen and
then a sky-light can be fitted in
the roof with little expense, This
not only gives the necessary
light, but furnishes a means of
ventilation. Again, the outside
kitchen doors are heavy wooden
affairs. Cut the upper panels
out of these and put in glass.
You will be delighted at the
change. The writer knew of a
case of this kind; the cost of the
glass lights was $3.50 Is cents a
pane; putty 10 cents, and tacks ;
cents, The actual work Of set
ting in the glass was done by a
fourteen-year-o old lad in the
family, who was as pleased a.

his work gave the home.
There is a great deal of comfor
lost to families and a great amour

hitting them to do snch little
helpful things as como in thei'
way from day to day, Certainly

The United States marshaps office is in receipt of news from Anchorage stating that five more bootleggers have been arrested there for selling liquor without licenses. The names of the defendants are Wm. Bateman, Begdatte, Morris, Dunlay and Brock. Two of the accused have entered pleas of guilty to the charges and the others Win receive trial tomor- row. Bateman was one of the first batch convicted and has evidently failed to profit from his experience.

Salt Water Cataracts.

There are a good many salt water catarncts in existence. They may be found in Norway. southern Chile and British Columbia. where narrow fiords. or arms of the sea. are obstructed by barriers of rock. The rising tide flows over and filters through such reefs into the great natural reservoirs beyond. but the water is held back at the ebb until it breaks over the obstruction in an irresistible torrent. Most curious of all is the waterfall at Canoe Pas sage. where the island of Vancouver approaches the British Columbia main land Here the flood tide from the gulf of Georgia to the southward is held back at a narrow cleft between two islands until it pours over in a boiling cascade eighteen feet high. with perhaps double the volume of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide. how ever. the waters from the north rush back into the gulf. producing cascade of equal height and volume. The wa terfal actually flows both ways.

Do Not Be "Bossy" and Domineerins
 In the Home Circle.
 1 find that can write all day with out pain in my fingers if hold the pen loosely. If should grasp it tightly it would be only few hours before the strain made writing almost impossible.
 Do We not often hold too tight rein on ourselves and our families for com fort? Habit has made us bossy and domineering. When member of the family goes we want to know where he is going and how long he intends to be gone: we keep a string on him and are ready to drag him home that we may feel that all are sheltered and under our watchful eyes.
 This is selfish care. It fences the in- dividual in. It hampers him and makes his field of pleasure and activity cramp- ed and rasping.
 When one knows that another is trustworthy. why hold so tight rein Some of us have got into the habit of repressing and suppressing ourselves for the sake of peace and the absence of anxiety. Freedom is necessary for the development of individuality and the best that is in each one of us. The caged bird never sings so joyously as the bird in the field or forest.-Shirley In Farm Life.

-CANNERY TAX MONEY
 WILL ENRICH TERRITORY

Figures compiled from data in the office of Territorial Treasurer Smith and by J. H. Cobb as attorney for the territory, shows that thirty-five of the canning companies that have entered into the agreement to abide by the decision in the test tax case which is now in the courts, have made their returns, showing the amounts of taxes paid by them to aggregate $115,905.58. These figures do not include figures from the seven teen canneries of Alaska Packers Association, which have not yet been fully compiled except for the year 1914. The tax due from the Alaska packers for that year totals $41,- O72.04. The remainder of taxes due will undoubtedly bring the total to at least $200,000, according to statement made by MT. Cobb.
 There are eighteen canneries op- erating in Alaskan waters who have not entered the agreement to abide by the test suit" said Mr. Cobb, ''and of these only one has paid the tax. Proceedings will be started at

 The first production of Verdps opera aOthellO" took place at Milan. and all the prominent musical critics of Eu- rope foregathered in the Cathedral City in honor of the occasion. Among them was Parisian journalist of wide reputation and admitted authority in the musical world. His first care on his arrival in Milan was to seek out Verdi and ask to be allowed to be present at one of the final rehearsals.
 The composer received the critic with extreme politeness. but replied that he could not possibly grant his request. as he had decided that the rehearsals were to be absolutely private. and he could not make an exception in the favor of any one journalist. however distinguished.
 The Paris critic. far from pleased at this answer. protested that in these circumstances his account of the opera might not be all he should like it to be. You see." he explained to the composer. who affected not quite to understand. Fl shall have to telegraph ny article the same evening. It will necessarily be hastily written. and the impression in Paris the next day may suffer in consequence"
 Bnt Verdi was more than equal to the occasion. My dear sir" he made answer. Il do not write for the next day" The critic bowed himself out.

 Last summer. according to advices which have just been received here, a native wandered into the mission at St. Johns in the wilderness, in an awful condition. He was suffering from smallpox. The frightful toll of this disease is too we'll known to need comment. An epidemic of smallpox would have practically wiped out the Indian settlements along the Koy- ukuk river.
 Deaconess Mills isolated the pa tient. Then she sent to Fort Yukon, the nearest mission hospital, for vac cine. Travelling up and down the river with a lot of bichloride and vaccine she made the natives wash all their clothes in boiling water in which had been dropped bichlor- ide tablet, and then she vaccinated every indian on the Koyukuk river.
 So excellent was the work of this lone woman that the one case that wandered into the mission was the only case that was heard of. An epidemic was avoided. The patient got we'll.
 Deaconess Mills did wonderful work. Had she not acted as she did it is possible that the disease would have spread. An epidemic would have resulted and many might have perished.
 It is acts of this kind that make those who doubt the sincerity of those good women who are devoting their lives to the education of the Alaskan natives think, and it is acts of this that bring to the missions in this northern country assistance from the great Outside

WILSON'S ROMANCE
 SET TO MUSIC

NEW YORK: Despite a protest from the White House, the printing presses are busy running of copies of a song dedicated to President Woodrow Wilson and his bride-to-be, under the title of Pretty Little In dian Maid" The words are supposed to tell the story of the Presidents wooing of Mrs. Norman Gait, an alleged descen- dant of Pocohontas. J. M. Fitzpat- rick, who wrote the ditty, says the song is being published, but that he may consent to keep it from the mu- sic shops.
 Fitzpatrick sent copy to the White House. The return mail brought letter from Secretary Tu- multy saying: "The President asks me to say that he would be very much obliged if the song to which you re- fer were not published. He would be very much distressed if it were" The first stanza and chorus of the song follows:
 "A paleface chief of a mighty tribe On the trail of an Indian squaw. In his light canoe that was built for
 two
 Came drifting to the shore. A lovers dart hit the white mans
 heart,
 From the girl of copper shade, For he was chief of the paleface tribe And she was an Indian maid.
 CHORUS. You are red and I am white
 That makes our love true blue. For I know that you love me
 And you know I love you. Let's stroll together meath the sill
 very moon
 When the twilight shadows fade, And TIL crown you lady of the pace
 face tribe,
 My pretty little Indian maid"
