HOW TO KEEP BABY's SKIN WELL.

The regular use Of Resinol Soap is
usually enough to prevent those dis
tressing rashesp and chafngs to which
most babies are subject. This is so,
frs, because Resinol Soap is absolutely
pure and free from harsh alkali, and
second, because It contains the Resinol
medication, on which so many physi-
clans rely for skin troubles.

AN ANCIENT VOLCANIC
 ERUPTION IN ALASKA

Every traveller on the upper Yu- kon river has noted a conspicuous white bed, 4 to inches in thick ness, that occurs on the river banks. This is made up of Volcan- ic ash derived from a Volcaho To- cated ia the northern margin of the St. Elias range more than 100 miles to the south. Though geologically speaking the material is of recent age, yet 1t was probably erupted 1,4OO years ago. There are, of course, no historical records of this eruption, but in the course of explorations in Alaska much has been learned about the distribution and thickness of the material eject ed. It originally covered an area of over 10000 square miles and some of 1t was carried over 45O miles from the volcano. The de- posit varies in thickness from SOO feet near the volcano to an inch Or two at the margin of the area GOV cred by it. A rough estimate in dicates that ovSr 10 cubic miles of material was ejected at the time of this eruption. During the eruption of Katmai volcano in southwestern Alaska in June, 1912, about 5 cu- bic miles of ash was ejected, and about the same amount. fell from the Krakatoa eruption of 1883. This Yukon eruption is therefore com parable in intensity with some Of the larger eruptions of historical time. All the available information about this subject is summarized in a paper entitled "An ancient vol canic eruption in the upper Yukon basin," by stephen R. Capps, ls- sued by the United States Geologi- cal Survey as Professional Paper 95-D.

4 STORY OF TWO
 ENGLISHWOMEN

Early in the excursionist season last summer the Daily Alaskan made mention of two prominent Euglishwomen who were making the round trip from Vancouver to Skagway over the c. P. R. steam ship line, and a day CT so ago re ceived a copy of the British Joum- al of Nursing, published weekly at 4S1 Ofxord street, London, w, from which we clip the following;
 Our National Council Delegates
 From Skagway, Alaska, comes a copy of the Daily Alaskan, contain ing a notice of two prominent Eng lishwomen"-AIiss Hulme and Miss Kent, Delegates of the National Council of Trained Nurses of Great  Britain and Ireland to San Francis co Convention. Our contempor- ary says: They are both very charming ladies to meet. They greatly regret their inability to make long stay in Skagway, which men;g their enthusiastic approval in every particular-its beautiful To- cation, the maguificence of the scenery iu it's vicinity, and the ideal weather they have encountred all along their journey up the coast by the Inland Passage"
 Miss Kent, in a further letter, speaks of this passage, as meyer to be forgotten for beauty and love Illness. The steamer, which was very comfortable, took Us through all the islands on the coast of British Columbia on the one side, and the Island of Vancouver (which is about the size of Great Britain), and countless islands beyond it on the other - mountainous, wooded and snow-capped We went right up to Skagway-the threshold of the Yukon and gold country-a country full of romance, beauty and wonder"

Washington, September 23-On the opening day of the Forthcoming Grand Army Encampment in Wash ington, President Wilson will "wig wag" a message of greeting and good will to the veterans visit ing the National Capital. MT. Will son will not personally manipulate the flags for he does not understand the cid Myer code which was in use by the union army during the Civil war, but his welcome will be translated into the sign language and sent from station to station about Washington by survivors of the signal corps of fifty years ago.
 Arrangements for the signaling features of the encampment have been announced by Lieut.. George Carr Round, the president of U- s. Veterans Signal Corps association, who has called upon all members of the organization who are able to do so to be present in Washington during encampment week. .. The main station of the signal corps bcys of '61@65 will be upon the heights of Georgetown In the ex- treme western section of washing ton and upon the very spot where the government had it's signal camps of instruction during the war. Mt. Tabor Methodist church stands there now and 1t will be used as the headuarters of the corps. From that point welcomes will be "wig-wagged" by such sig mai corps officers as General Fisher General Greedy, General ScriVen and Col. Albert J. Myers, Jr. These officers understanding the code will doubtless take the flags in their own hands and do their own gig uaIing, flashing messages of peace and good will to the American peo-

pie. At various points about Wash ington such as Fort Stevens, Fort De Russy, The Soldiers Home, Fort Richardson and Fairfax Seminary which were used as signaling points in war times, stations will be es- ta5lished during the encampment and messages will be transmitted in the old way as in the days be- fore the invention of the field telephone and the wireless. Instead of being war orders they will be what President Round of the Sig nal Corps association calls jubilee messages" The scheme was tried with much success during the en- campments at Chattanooga and Get tysburg, and will be worked out upon a much more elaborate basis for encampment week in Washing ton. Another feature will be the transmission of orders by the old ."wig-wag" method during the time the veterans are passing in parade in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Grand Review. Signal men will be stationed in the dome of Pennsylvania avenue and from time to time as the old vet erans are passing in review mes sages will be sent.
 President Round has been ob- Hged to SCOUT the country for . set of old time copper torches which will be used in "wig-wagging" wei comes to the Grand Army on the nigh. of the big reception. The station used on that occasion will be the dome of the Capitol. As none of these old torches have been preserved by the signal office or the army, it is probable that the set provided will finally be pre- sented to the National Museum as relics. ~'
