On the third page of the pres ent issue of the Nugget will be found under the capt.on, "A Plea for the Helpless, the report of the Chamber of Commerce com mittee delegated to investigate and report on the Morningside Sanitorium of Mt. Tabor, Ore, the institution to which are con signed the mentally afflicted from all parts of Alaska. Contained in the report are the sworn state nents of three more of the un- fortunates who have been confin- ed in that institution and who know through experience the re- pulsive conditions prevailing within it's sordid walls. Often before has the press revealed through the medium of similar statements the truth concerning the condition under which the AL aska insane are compelled to ex- ist when overtaken by an unfor- tunate fate.

Stories of the shame ful things endured by those sick and helpless ones have been told so often that all should know and realize that here is something de manding public attention. And yet we do nothing. Is it that we are lacking in all human feel ing; are cold and callous to the call of human suffering and dis. tress?

Got the Wholesale Price.

1t took a bartender with a pretty
good sense of humor to pull this one,
One day a nondescript individual
sauntered into the barroOm where this
particular bartender was working and
ordered a drink of whisky. The bar
tender set out the whisky glass and
the large glass for the chaser.
The customer disregarded the small
whisky glass and poured the larger
glass almost to the top and drank the
fiery liquid like so much milk. He
then laid a dime down on the bar. The
bartender took the coin, rang up
nickel on the cash register and gave
him back the change.
"Gee, l thought a drink of whisky
was q dime here" the stranger said
"Oh, no." returned the bartender

TOWF
IS HELPS
FIELD STONES FOR BUILDINGS
These BowIders Are Used Extensively
In Constructing Homes In Many
Sections Of California.

Cobblestones combined with cement
are used extensively in the West Tor
all kinds of ornamental and unitarian
construction. From ornamental urns
and corner markers to foundations,
bandstands, bridges, and even such
large structures as two-story houses,
churches, and even an observatory,
may all be found in California, built
Of the cobbles that are removed in
clearing.
The resulting edifces are of remark
ably artistic appearance. The econ
omy of this type of building is well
shown by the fact that in the citrus
belt near Los Angeles thousands of
tons of cobblestones are dug up by
the Hindu laborers and piled in great
heaps between the groves. These cob
BILE piles are often fifteen feet high
and twenty feet broad, and extend for
many rods between the cleared fields.
They are literally cheaper than dirt.
1t is but natural that many of the
best specimens of cobble construction
are found in that district. The round
ed stones merely cucumber the ground,
and most owners are willing to help
pay for their removal to a building
site.
In the citrus section may be found
an observatory in the grounds of Po-
non college, which is q splendid bit
of architecture.
Near by is one of the most attractive
homes in the West, a great, rambling
bungalow of field stones which has for
its main interior feature a sun parlor
or g~lass-roofed patio. This is a most
attractive detail of q charming home,
with ferns and flowers growing as in
a conservatory, but in q temperature
suited for its use as a general living
room.
In Azuza may be found a decidedly
artistic cobblestone church, with only
a few roughly squared stones used in
connection with the natural-shaped
powders and field stones. San Diego
has two large two-story houses formed
of this material, and the suggestion of
permanence as well as rustic charm
is made by the utilization of the big
pebbles.
In the larger cities there are count
less specimens of public as well as pri-
vate construction formed of this
rough-and-ready material. The parks
contain splendid examples of the deco
rative possibilities of cobblestones. The
bridge in Ganesha park is far more in
keeping with its surroundings of trees
and shrubs than a more formal struc-
ture would be, and this applies to the
bandstand in the same park and to
the drinking fountain in Eastlake
park, Los Angeles.-Popular Science
Monthly.

BE CAREFUL OF HOME PLANS
Don't Forget That Slight Details, Now
Overlooked, May Cause Much
Dissatisfaction Later On.

When planning the new house, as
much attention should be given to the
things which should not be done as to
those which should be done. Unless
thought is given to many details ap-
parently slight, but which may cause
much trouble and annoyance later, If
not properly planned at the start, dis
satisfaction is sure to result when the
home is completed and occupied.
Some'o of the things which should not
be done, if future convenience is de-
sired, may be avoided by carefully OBJ
serving the following "don'ts:"
Don't set your house too low. Better
have it a foot high than an inch too
low. The street grade may be raised
at any time, and if the house sets low
this will make it look squatty.
Don't fail to provide proper drain
age under the cellar wall and through
the center of the cellar, under the con-
crete floor. This may easily be ac-
complished by constructing a dry drain
or trenches filled with small stone. If
this precaution is omitted, a damp
cellar will be the result in nine cases
out of ten, unless there is a very
abrupt slope to the land on which the
house stands.

ut seems hard that such enormous SUMS must

scrop without rendering any very good service
unless the nation should become involved IN war;
it is also unfortunate that a police force Oh any
sort is necessary and that fire insurance pre-
miums must be paid. The only compelling cause
for the construction of these ships is that they
are a type which other nations possess, and with
out which the United States will be at a grave
disadvantage if opposed to a nation possessing
them.
LAS commerce destroyers it is plain that their
speed and power will enable them to overtake
and destroy anything atloat except battleships.
The raids made by the German cruisers upon the
English coasts show how easily they can slip past
a battleship fleet; and the Emden has proved
what a swift cruiser can do against an enemy's
commerce until a swifter and more powerful
cruiser puts an end to its career. If it were not
for the English cruisers, which would seek and
cut them down one by one, the German battle
cruisers, in spite of all the battleships of the Eng
fish navy, would go to sea and make all kinds of
trouble for the ships bearing to the allies NUM-
tons, food supplies and money paid for the manu-
featured articles which the allies in their ships
are sending to the markets of the world because
they have sea control.
'The battle off Jutland most certainly has not
established anything not already known against
the cruiser. No one ever had the slightest reason
to suppose that one could engage a battleship at
any range on equal terms. The naval engineers
put all the expensive and powerful machinery In
them the designers of the hull gave them the
fine lines to keep them at a long range from the
backbone of the fleet; and when that speed was
used to take them close to the battleships the in
evitable happened.
las a scouting force to locate the enemy these
swift powerful ships break through a screen and
accomplish what they were intended to do; and
there is no doubt that as the swift wing of a fleet
they will be invaluable in pursuit of an enemy
and In certain other fleet maneuvers. That they
cannot be successfully opposed to battleships no
more proves that they are unfit for their strategic
functions than the inability of English battleships
to overtake the German cruiser fleet proves that
they are unable to give and receive blows.
$50, because battle cruisers have their own i'm
portant functions, both in and out of the fleet,
the United States navy must have them, and the
more of them and the sooner the better; for the
navy is the one means of defense against a mill
tary nation"
