SUPPLY OF SEALS ASSURED
Action by United States, II 10 Be-
iieved, Has Done Away With All
Danger Of Their Extinction.

For the first time In the history Of
the United States this country Is ham
ding Its own sealskins, q condition
that should have been brought about
long ago, but was not, largely owing
to trade secrets connected with the
dressing and dyeing Of the furs, which
were possessed exclusively In Eng
land.
Seal furs are used more extensively
in America than in any other country
on the globe and the United States
government has done more to prevent
seals from becoming extinct than all
the other nations put together. 1t Is
due entirely to our initiative that
there Is now a growing supply Of
seals from which to draw.
The total number In the Alaskan
herd is now estimated at 100000, and
It Is believed that 100000 will be
added this summer. after which, un-
der moderate regulation, there will
be little danger of extinction, such as
faced the fur-bearing seals only few
years ago.

BEST SOIL FOR STRAWBERRY
Rich Sandy Loan 10 Most Desirable
Plants Demand IN Immense
Amount Of Moisture.

The best type Of soil for straw
berry culture Is rich sandy loan,
but most any kind Of a soil will pro-
duce good crops provided 1t is rich,
well-drained and Of loose texture.
Strawberries demand an immense
amount of moisture. and for this rea-
son the soil should be In good condi-
ton to hold large quantities of 1t. As
the water-holding capacity Of a soil
depends largely on the amount Of or
ganic matter present, there should be
an abundance of 1t In the soil. This
can be supplied by turning under q
green manuring crop Of a heavy appli-
cation Of manure.

BABY'S MOUTH NEEDS CARE

brush a soft linen rag or handkerchief
makes an excellent substitute. Like
wise a little absorbent cotton may be
wrapped about the finger or a small
stick. The cotton projecting beyond
the point should be dipped In boiled
water and cooled until 1t Is lukewarm.
It should be applied to the gums with
great care. After the tongue moves
frequently and the mouth commences
to secrete saliva the washing Of the
mouth may be limited to twice a day.
Mothers often feel that the first
teeth are of small consequence, be-
cause they are not permanent. They
do not appreciate the fact that poor
teeth make for poor health, they de-
tract from the child's appearance and
do much to injure the permanent teeth.
