a sneeze is a secret flash of freemasonry to all the other lodge members of your anatomy that one lone bacterial invader has succeeded in getting a foothold into the depths of the lining membranes either at the eyelids or the nose.
 It has never been known before that irritation of the eyelids causes "colds." Such, nevertheless seems to be the truth.
 This is how the whole matter was tested Germs that were normal inhabl- tants of the human eye and nose were grown upon tubes of sterilized gelatin and blood. They were then placed upon a little platinum instrument and scratched into the eye membrane or the nose mem brane. Within few minutes afterwards a sneeze appeared. The appearance of sneeze means that there has previously occurred an entrance of something deep into the tissues. Repeated sneezes mean that the microbes have taken a foothcld SO firmly that the growth of the bacteria is making inroads on the tissues

Colds" are really series of spots and colonies of germs, which spread, because of abnormal acidity of tissues, from the eyes and nose into the nostriis, throat, wind tubes and even lungs. Curious to tell however, "colds" are actually caused by cold or lowering of temperature. This is an absolnta truth despite Peary Stefenson and other Arctic explorers. The reason that colds" are not contracted in below zero weather has just been experimentally found out.

 Life is ugly in spots. It presents sharp. uncompromising, revolting edges. Woman's beauty softens those edges and veils that ugliness. There cannot be too much of it. It cannot within the limits of aesthetic taste, be too candid.

mittee of members from the Alaska bu-
reau of the Chamber of Commerce will
be appointed soon to work out a cam
paign to further the plan of Alaskan
cities for celebrating, 1917, the fiftieth
anniversary of the purchase of Alaska
from Russia. This was the unani-
nous decision of the Alaska bureau
yesterday at its luncheon in the Arctic
Club. following the report of Secre-
tary j.. L. Mcpherson, who recently
returned from 7,OOO-mile trip through
Alaska. .-.
Secretary Mcpherson reported ON
business and mining conditions in
Alaska as he found them on his visits
to Wrangell, Ketchikan, Petersburg,
Sitka, Douglas, Juneau, Skagway, Cor
dova,, Seward, Valdez, Fairbanks,
Ruby and Nome. He said every Alas
kan town was enthusiastic over the
proposal to celebrate in widespread
manner the. fiftieth year of American
possession.
There is great necessity for an ag-
gressive campaign on the part of the
Alaska bureau in this matter" de-
clared Mr.. Mcpherson. "The Alaskan
cities are anxious to display their re-
sources and the individual fairs that
they have planned will bring together
more comprehensive and complete
array of Alaska products than has
ever before been assembled. Each
section plans to exhibit its own re-
sources, building the exhibit around
that resource which predominates in
the district. For example, Ketchikan
will have principally an exhibit of
salmon and copper ores from Prince of
Wales island; Wrangell will have mar
bles from the Kasaan quarries as her
contribution and Juneau will display
ore from the vast mountains of the
gold belt.
| 'The idea is to furnish tourists who
will be drawn to Alaska a clear idea
of what each district has to offer the
investor, the home maker and the
lprospector.
ut will be up to Seattle to draw the
tourists to the North during the year
of the celebration" declared Mr.. Nc
Pherson. "That will be our part of
the work. The Alaskan cities have
been very thankful to Seattle for the
interest displayed in the plan for
general celebration"

done during most of the winter
