800" AND PHARMACY

Such monotony. No parties,
nothing at all doing" has been said
by many people during the past
several weeks. But even the gayest
OF the pleasure seekers could not
make such remark the last week.
One of the most enjoyable occasions
for the younger set was the party
given Wednesday night by Miss Lii
liam Sample. The house was attrac-
lively decorated in a profusion Of
lilac blossoms. After a number Of
games of 500, Miss Genevieve Mil
lick and Ingalls, Thorstenberg were
awarded the favors and they all de-
parted in cars for Dustin's pharmacy,
where refreshments were served and
dancing enjoyed until a late hour.
The hostess was assisted by Mrs. #.
G. Christ and Mrs. G. v. Fisher.
Among those present were Misses
Rogers, Tavey, Kinney, Chubbuck,
Nta Bingham, Headley, Quantrell.

Uncle Sam needs $4,000 strong,
red-blooded men now!
The regular army must be brought
up to war strength at an early date.
June 80. Unless this is done valu-
able time in training will be lost.
Fifty-one new regiments are to be
formed at once! IS new bands are
to be organized. To those young men
of the nation who answer the call to
arms rare opportunities for quick
promotion, good pay and prestige Of
being non-commissioned officer are
now available. The new regiments
must have corporals and sergeants.
A man with ordinary intelligence
who enlists now, attends to his busi-
ness and makes soldering a profess
sion, will soon find himself promoted
to be corporal position OF trust
and added privileges with $50 a
month clear money. Men In the
army have nothing to buy, under
wear, clothes, shoes and even razors
and tooth brushes are furnished
with the best of food, well cooked
and medical and dental attention
free. A corporal would receive the
equivalent to a salary of $50 or $50
month in civil life with no lost
time-if he Is sick, he receives the
best of care and his pay goes on just
the same.
From a corporalcy to a sergeantcy
Is but a short Jump which pays $38
a month and all found. In a short
time he will become lieutenant at
$1,700 a year and all found. For
the young high school students the
army today offers an appointment to
West Point provided he enlists in
the army now and is able to pass an
examination similar to that required
for his school diploma. He will thus
acquire a fine profession and educa-
ton at no cost to him whatever.
He who enlists now may pick his
branch of the service. This is dis
tinct advantage-he will be in posi-
ton for rapid promotion whereas If
he waits for selection he can never
rise above private and will be placed
where he Is most needed without
consulting his wishes.

Stewart Isn't
Sure He Wants
Job For Life

Calvin Stewart may have a
chance at life job as postmas-
ter of Tacoma; yet he's not so
sure today that he wants it.
Business prospects in Tacoma
are too good, he says.
At any rate, Postmaster Stew
art is inclined to be in favor OF
the measure passed by the U. 5.
senate Friday, putting all post
masters under the civil service.
81 am frank to say believe 1t
would increase the efficiency OF
the SERVICE" he said. "Yet there
is a good deal to be said on the
other side, too. A new man, conn
ing into the position, is inclined to
be in better touch with the people
and to know the kind of service
they want, than one who has been
in the service all his life"
Stewart says being the easy
mark" for donation solicitors
doesn't make a hit with him.

in AVALANCHE

JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 81
Search continued today for the
body of Maurice Rasmussen, who,
together with Benjamin Grote,
lineman, we're killed in one of the
three monstrous snowslides in the
mountains surrounding this city,
creating thousands of dollars
worth of property damage late
yesterday.
The first slide occurred on
Mount Juno. back of the city on
the road leading to the Persever-
ance mine. The road is blocked
with snow 90 feet deep. AS re-
suit. Douglas, Treadwell and Jnuo
were in total darkness. A bitter
cold snowstorm has struck the
city and hampers repair work.
It was in the second slide near
the Gastineau mine that the two
men were killed. This slide was
800 feet In width.
1t carried away 1000 feet of
the Alaska-G sstineau Mining
company's power and telephone

80 DODGE
PHYSICAL
*EX' RULE

Unwilling to face q medical
examination at the hands of the
city health officer, more than 80
food handlers in Tacoma, includ-
ing cooks and walters, have re-
signed their positions during the
past few weeks and left the city.
These exceptional cases resulted
from the examination of some
5000 men and women under a
new ordinance passed recently by
the city council. OF the large
number of examinations, only a
few persons have been rejected as
unfit to handle foods.
Health Officer Montague has
conducted the tests, and a record
of each food handler was made
by Mrs. Grace P. Johnston, city
food inspector.
Besides cooks and walters, ex-
aminations have been held among
employees of wholesale groceries,
retail stores, confectionery stores
and milk depots.
1.-THE work is doing a Won
derful lot of good for the
pure food cause" said Mrs.
Johnston Saturday. "The
very fact that many of tho
food handlers were ashamed
to take examinations showed
that they were unfit to touch
food that was for human con-
sumption"
