spot Of earth, an ancient Roman out
post where DICTIONARIES stood guard
against northern barbarians and
where Caesars sought to regain their
| dissipated health, Meran has main
tanned through all it's checkered history
high reputation as pleasure and
health garden, and as a resort for rank

turesQue TyrOlese city, banked around
by lesser Alps, has been a favorite
Wintering place for wealthy Ameri-
cans, a number of whom have pur-
chased villas here and some of whom
have become permanent residents.
Considerably more than 10000 guests
sought Meran each year, many, nom1-
nally, for their health, but most for
the beauties of climate and surround
ings and for the light gayeties of the
fall and winter season.
The counts of Tyrol, the noble fam
! lily from which the region took it's
name, long made Meran their resi-
dence. The much decayed castle of
TyrOl, the original seat of the family,
Overlooks the town, and the mountain
shelves and cliffs through the neigh
borhood are crowned with many other
ancient castles and fine chateaux.
Meran is the first town of the upper
Adige valley. 1t is AZ miles south
southwest of Innsbruck and 20 miles
northwest of Bozen on the Bremen
line. The rugged Kuechelberg lies
behind it and all the hills beside are
covered with miles of arcaded vine
yards. Delicious grapes and wine are
the towns most famed products. A
grape cure is one of the attractions of
the place, while the climate draws
many suffering from lung troubles
Normally, Meran's season begins in
early fall and lasts through to the end
Of spring.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced BY Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or IN
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment atsuch
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
Ghappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with al the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going biindly to the trial
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

JUNEAU SCHOOL
 ON UNIVERSITIES
 ACCREDITED LIST

There has been rumor about town that graduates of tho local high school are not permitted to enter the state universities of Washington and California without taking entrance ex- amlnations. "This report is entirely erroneous" said Superintendent l.. D. Henderson today. The local high school has been on the proylsion- ally accredited list of those two uni versailles for the past two years, and all that Is necessary to put us on the permanent accredited list is to have the school visited and inspected by a representative of the two State in- stitutions. Three of our graduates were this year admitted to the Uni versity of California without examin- ation and one to the University of Washington-in fact all of our stu dents who have applied for admit tance to either school during the last year and at the beginning of this year have been allowed to enter with out examination if they have had the full number of credits which are now required for high school graduation"
 Speaking in the same connection, President G. c. Vim. of the school board said today that without doubt a member of the Accredited Schools Committee of the University of Wash ington would visit Juneau in the Spring and that there is not the slighted doubt that the local school will be at that time put on the per manently accredited list
 It is the rule of most State unlver- sities that once put on the perma- nent list, a school shall remain there until a majority of the students reg istering from the high school in Ques- ton shall have shown inability to do the work required by tho university.
 There is utterly no foundation for the report" said Mir. Henderson to- day, "and it is always safe to investi- gate the regulations of the various universities, which are on file at my office. before accrediting @ rumor of the sort. Those regulations are there for anyone who may care to see them. so if any doubt stin exists it can cas- fly be dispelled"

 On the same mountain is the Skeen- Iechner mine, recently sold at Receiy- CTS sale. No work Is being dono on this property at present but Jim Hamilton, who has been in charge for some time says it is a good property, and 1t ought not to remain idle long now that the legal entanglements have been disposed of

Some people see Q purpose in this and will not be surprised if the Guggies come back again in the hope of making better bargains. At all events, those who know the Ke- mai river are in no way discouraged by the failure of the big mining con- cern to operate there.

STUDENTS REGISTER
 FROM OUTSIDE CITY


 Five students have SO far made ap- plication to City Clerk E. W. Petit for tuition slips in order that they may begin their work in the schools. The students who have registered from outside the city of Juneau are Ruth Umstead. of Douglas, and Alex Sakalof, Kathleen Ward, Draga Bei- lick and Zooke Beihck. The total of the tuition SO far Is $500.
 Book Sale Large
 For the past two years 1t has been the custom of the School Board to pur- chase the text books used in the Ju- neau schools and sell them to students through the office of the City Clerk. This arrangement has made it pos sible to save little on each book since the purchaser of large lots is granted O considerable discount. Re- ceipts of yesterdays sale of books amounted to SS27 It is probable that this amount will be doubled by the time all the children in the schools have secured their books. Clerk Pet tit says he will soon be a proficient salesman.

SELL 300 LOTS
IN SEWARD RESERVE

Owing to the fact that a large part of the tract Of land reserved by the government at Seward for the uses of the Railroad Commission has proved to be unsatisfactory for that purpose, about 300 lots will be sold at public auction sometime in the near future.
 This sale will be conducted by A.. Christensen of the Field Service, who will probably leave for Seward short ly after his return from Seattle on October 1st. Mr. Christensen has not yet announced any definite plans in connection with the sale, but believes that it will take place in October. There is a possibility. however that it may not be held until after the first of the year.

PRAISE FOR THE FIREMEN

Councilman Lack spoke warm
words in praise of the fire department.
He came OH the scene this morning
shortly after Mr.. Lamm arrived. He
praised the water department for the
pressure that was kept up so eff
GENTLY at eighty pounds. He spoke
enthusiastically in declaring his ap-
probation of the way in which the
volunteers turned out. He declared
that the fire was demonstration OF
the wisdom of buying the fire truck.
Mr.. Lamm said the same thing. They
agreed that the results OF the fire
would have been far mere momentous

possession of the city.
John II. Hohmann said: 81 wish
