TO TREAT MINOR AILMENTS.
Valuable Hints Given in "The Mod
ern Family Physician."

There is total of 100000 years
of life wasted every year in the United
States through serious illness, half of
which is preventable.
The average cost Of i'll health to each
family per year is s57, half Of which
is unnecessary.
The average loss of time to each
individual through serious Illness
(minor ailments are not included) is
thirteen days, half of which can be
saved
Few persons realize how common
minor ailments are. yet all know that
they are sufficiently common to make
the question How are you?" the ordi-
nary form of salutation.
Through ignorance it is out of these
minor ailments that most Of the seri-
Gus ailments come.
Through knowledge 1t is possible to
have a long life, healthy body and a
vigorous mind.
A compilation of this knowledge, set
forth by twenty of the leading expo
nents of the sciences of healing and
sanitation, is contained in THE Modern
Family Physician" in two volumes,
which for limited period is being Of
fered to readers of The Star.

The practical side Of the question of
the minimum wage that should be allowed

clared the speaker, "a woman should be

question relates to that most important

Matter of Concern to All.
'It concerns every one Of us. and society
eventually pays the cost entailed by in
sufficient wages The elementary point
to be considered is the question of how
much 1t costs woman to keep herself
above the point at which physical fitness

it to be about s8.75. Now, suppose girl
is making a dollar less, how is she to get
IT? 1t will come out Of society or out of
her. If 1t comes from the charitable in
stitutions it comes in a roundabout way.
If the girl lives in a home, that is an ex-
pense on the community. If she takes it
out of her physical well being-I am talk

ALASKA LAND IF THE GREATEST
 OPPORTUNITY

Col. John A. Sleicher, editor of Leslie's Weekly, who recently made a trip through Southwestern Alaska, is writing a series of articles under the caption of "The Truth About Alaska, !" the first of which appeared in Leslie's on September 2, from which the fol- lowing excerpts were taken:
 Alaska is the most misunderstood and misrepresented section of the United States. People generally, and sincerely, believe that the name Alas ka is synonymous with snow and ice and couple it accordingly with ice cream freezers and cold drinks. Yet the principal cities of Alaska along its southern coast line-Juneau, Ketchi- kan Cordova Valdez and Seward-do not average as cold as Baltimore and Washington during cold waves.
 Alaska is one-fifth the size of the whole United States and it's prodigious area of about 600,000 square miles, nearly three times the size of the German Empire, spreads from the temperate zone to the Arctic Circle Not one-quarter of 1t is in the latter. Below the circle lies a magnificent belt of fertile soil. It is estimated by gov ernment authorities that the agricul- tural area of Alaska's fertile valleys and plains, on many of which cattle can be wintered without feeding, az gregates 30,000 square miles, with climate like that of northern Europe Norway, Finland and Sweden. This land is richer and more productive than that of any other country in the world, we'll watered, fairly we'll tim bered, and 320 acres are open free to to the settler if he wishes to take up homestead.
 In the great central valley of Alas ka the coldest days of winter are not as cold as reported from time to time in the prairie states of the United States, like Nebraska, Montana and North Dakota. Stock raisers and farmers are going into Alaska on  every steamer from Seattle to look the country over. They are equipped with the special government reports on Alaska that can be had without charge by writing to the Department of Agriculture and to the Department of the Internor at Washington or from any member of Congress. Visitors to Alaska are surprised at what they find when they reach the interior. Nor do they need to suffer hardship in mak. ing the trip, for first-class steamships to the principal ports, with usually reasonable rates, are running out from Seattle nearly every day and railroad and automobile lines to the interior are readily available. Nor is 1t necessary to go far, for every val ley leading from the coast is waiting for the husbandman.
 Thus far the astonishing mineral and industrial wealth Of Alaska has been it's attraction. Wideawake can. italists have invested millions In fish cries, in gold and copper mines and in railroads, in oil wells. They were preparing to open Alaska's enormous deposits of coal and to do develop. ment work on every hand, on the largest scale, when suddenly sense
