SYSTEM
Indians and Time.

Certain of the reservation Indians still cling to the calendar Ut their an cestors. The Indian method was to compute time by sleeps and moons A sleep is twenty-fuur hours, aud u moon Is month There Is also a mldmOon. where the sun is at r. o'clock meridian. This hour is indt cated by pointing overhead.
 When an Indian pointed quarter way up the sky he meant o'clock; when he pointed quarter way down he meant 8 o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern horizon and sunset the western.
 When there was moon the time was indicated in the same way ns by the sun. Were all Indian asked the distance to a certain place or how far be had come he would say so many sleeps, or days travel A sleep, aS describing distance. was about thirty five miles when walking deliberately or from fifty to seventy-fve miles if going in haste with a message. .-phl. adelphia Inquirer

JUNEAU PROGRESS

The announcement that the First National Bank, one of the strong in stitutions Of which Juneauites are justly proud, will next year erect a ngw banking house, with choice of- flee rooms above the bank, marks another important completed pro- gram fer 1917 progress. It Is a very satisfactory program, and one that will encourage others.
 The First National Bank build Ing program will fit finely into the general program that Is developing fast. With a new school house un- der way, a new capitol buildtn. go- ing up (perhaps), a bridge build ing across Gastineau Channel (al- so perbaps), several apartment houses and other buildings planned the addition of a new bank building Iromises to make building opera tions at Juneau lively next year.

THOMAS MARTINDALE

The Quaker City today mourns the loss ot one % it's foremost citt- zeus. In Thomas MartiRdale they have ILng recognized business genius, peace loving and progres- slYe cItizens, who did his utmost to fulfill the station n lie to which destiny mad directed him During his business career he has olazed the way Tor numerous commercial concerns to lead the field in his home city. AS 8 writer he has carved cut fame for himself. His latest book, Hunting in the Up ped Yukon," has been read by thousands of persons who have or will make the trip to the mighty Yukon sections. IL Is sad indeed, that the noble work of such men must cease, but the ruNng hand has ordered that his work on earth must cease. How romantic 1t Is that he should come clear across the continent, wend his way into the wllds of the Upper Yukon and spend hls last days in the land wh!ch he loved so well

Pharmacists and Physi- clans Should Use Metric System By JOSEPH ". ENGLAND, Seere- tary of the Philadelphia
 Drug Exchange

TT is our endeavor to have the re-
 tail pharmacists of the country
 put the metric system to gen. eral use, but assistance must come from the physicians who are en- blowing the old. The metric system has come to stay in the United States. and it is only a question of time before it will be the only one used. Congress legalized it in 1866. Two standards cannot exist.
 The use of relative terms is not only cumbersome, but prevents the practical use of the metric system. 1t has led to errors by those who have assumed that the equivalents given were proportional and inter- changeable with the metric units when they are not.
 THE PROPER WAY TO USE THE METRIC TERMS AND TO ENcoUR. AGE THEIR GENERAL USE IS TO THINK IN TERMS OF THE METRIC SYSTEM.
 Pharmacists should use metric weights and measures for the mak- ing of pharmaceutica, preparations regardless of whether physicians employ them in writing PrescrlP- tions or not. THE RESPONSE BILITY OF THE FUTURE USE OR NONUSE OF THE METRIC SYSTEM IN PRESCRIPTION WRITING RESTS SOLELY WITH THE PHYSICIANS.

An Ant That Spins,

The spinning ant is found in India. in CeylOn. in the islands of MalacCa and in Australia. This ant weaves its nest between two leaves of a tree, preferably the mango It begins to build or to weave by drawing two leaves together. To do this it runs a line of it's working material-material similar to the spiders thread-the length of the leaf and around 1t. While at work 1t clings to the leaf with its nails and at the same time draws on the leaf nearest to 1t with Its mandi- bles.
