Fever Blister or Cold Sore
By William Brady, Nj. D.

Herpes. or cold sore. occurs upon
the lower part of the face, about the
mouth. cheek or chin. The patient
hrst feels singing, burning sensa-
ton, or itching Al the same time
group OF little pin-head sized blisters
form. These are filled with clear, vel
lowish fuid. and they are surrounded
by Redeemed area Of skin or mucous
membrane Herpes may com. upon
the lips. or upon the cyclids There
may he one patch or several. some
times large area OF skin is covered
days the little bisters dry up into n
crust. which soon fails OF and leaves
red spot that disappears after sey-
eral more days
Upon The lips or cyelids. when mu-
cous membrane IS involved. the crust
is apt TO leave superficial ulcer which
is very painful and irritable
Something Ike a thousand readers

Of herpes. and in our skilful way we

POCAHONTAS TO
 CELEBRATE 18TH
 ANNIVERSARY
GRAND BALL PLANNED FOR CO., LUMBUS DAY, NEXT THURS
 DAY WEEK.

On the 18th of October, the Lodge of Pocahontas will celebrate the 18th anniversary of it's organization in Ket- chikan. The members are planning to give grand ball at Red Mems Hall
 on the evening of Columbus Day which falls on Thursday the 18th and seems an appropriate time for so pure ly American organizations as the Red Men and Degree of Pocahontas.
 Every year since it's first anniver- sary the members have celebrated the event with some social function, which is always looked forward to with anticipation by the people of Ketchikan, and the ball now being planned for Thursday week promises to be happy occasion. The "Pokies" are fine entertainers and great cooks, so there'll be all kinds of good time and good eats.
 The admission heretofore has al ways been free on their anniversary fete, but this year, for different req sons it was planned to charge the gentlemen soc, while the ladies will be free.
 A cordial invitation is generally extended to the people of Ketchikan to attend.
