CARRAN/A Is CHARGED WITH
 PERSECUTION
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 23- Ominous whisperinEs that Provision al President Carranza of Mexico is still committing deeds and acts to which the United States has repeat edly objected have reached the ears of the officials Of the state depart ment It is stated that Carranza persists in prosecuting the Catholics !n Mexico. particularly the priests. and that he has repeatedly forced the banks of Mexico City to lend him money in order that his ends might be furthered
 These reports, as well as others indicating that all is not exactly as it should be with Carranza, have reached the state department. Ii is therefore thought very probable that the sending of American Am bassador Fletcher to Mexico will be delayed for some time, or until such time as the truth of the reports can be ascertained.
 In most instances, as nearly as can be learned. the persecution of priests consists of laying charges of conspiracy against them. This, it is claimed, Carranza is doing. Two priests. it is stated, are now some where in confinement, with their fate unknown to their friends.

BILL M'PHE,E RESIGNED TO
 INEVITABLE

"Col." William H. McPhee, past 1 grand president of the Pioneers of Alaska and the oldest saloon man in Fairbanks and the interior, both in age and from point of number of 1 years in business, has announced his retirement That is, when his 1 liquor license expires on May "A next it will not be renewed, What he will do then Bill does not say, 1 but he thinks that he will quit Al aska for good and all He implies, however, that he may possibly get into something else for a time if the opportunity offers.
 MT. McPhee, who is the proprietor of the Washington saloon, will prob ! ably be the first man to quit busi- ness. He could renew his license and continue until the first day of ] January, 1918, but he has definitely decided not to do so. Most of the | other saloon licenses of Fairbanks ! establishments expire in June next, and many of the saloon men are expected to continue in business un- til the prohibition law takes effect on January 1, 1918. The bill, as in troduced by Delegate Wickersham, has been reported favorably and with out alteration by the house commit | tee on territoriess according to As sociated Press dispatches received by | The Citizen. This is considered to amount to the same thing as the actual passage of the law itself.
 Informed of the proceedings of the l house committee last night, Uncle Bill" as he is familiarly called by his friends of the younger genera l ton 0he sourdoughs call him BilD chuckled heartily. T knew he'd do it." he exclaimed, referring to Dele | gate Wickersham. "The vote of the people showed what they want, and Jim Wickersham is the boy who 1 has always tried to do what the people expected him to do Win or lose, this time it's all the same to him. He's not drinkin' man is Jim, but he always believed in lettin' ! them drink that wants to. The peo- pie wanted Sulzer and dry. They've got the dry and they may get Sulzer, but Jim beat him to the dry proposition.'
 And continuing, he said: "The dry law is the best thing that ever could have happened for the saloon men of Fairbanks. There is and always has been too many saloons here. All of the saloon men have been hangin' on for years by the skin of their teeth, payin' their thousand dollars to the government for the privilege of doin' business and maxim nothin
 The rest of them can have my share of the business after May "A. I'm goin' to quit"

ROADHOUSE MAN
 COMES ID TOWN

According to information received by the local stage officials, James Chisholm, proprietor of the old Birch Lake roadhouse, will reach town this evening and will enter St. Josephs hospital at once. While the nature of MT. Chisholm's trouble Is not definitely known, it is thought that he is suffering from the effects of his terrible experience last November
 In the latter part of November of last year Chisholm's establish ment at Birch Lake was destroyed by fire, and he barely escaped from the flames, saving absolutely noth- ing except the night clothes which he was wearing at the time. He was forced to mush barefooted over two miles for shelter and clothing, in weather ranging around forty de- grees below zero. Both feet were badly frozen, and he was brought to Fairbanks for treatment He re- mained in St. Joseph's hospital for several days All the frost was drawn from his feet, and except for the bruises and decorations on his feet. he was entirely recovered when he left for Birch Lake to rebuild his place.
 It is thought probable that he has been exposed to the severe cold and again frosted his feet.

CITY COUNCIL.
 CONFERS WITH
 SCHOOL, BOARD

At the regular semi-monthly meet ing of the city council the council conferred with the school board re- garding expenditures for the upkeep of the local school. The purpose of the conference was to endeavor to find means of economizing on school expenses. in order to prevent a seri- ous deficit in the city treasury.
 !; was aot, and is net now, the intention of the council to lower the efficiency and scope of the schools. but in view of the cost of other schools in the territory, it was thought that there might be some method of lowering the present cost of the maintenance of the local system It was pointed out during the discussion that the cost of the Fairbanks schools during the admin istration will reach at least $22 100, giving a higher cost per student than most of the schools in other cities But after considering the scope of the local schools, which embraces a four-year high school course, and which at present thirty three students are taking advantage of, it was decided that the school board was doing the best possible under the circumstances.
 Another important matter that was taken up by the council was the question of securing aid from the territorial legislature in meeting the expeditures of the city. It was point ed out that in view of the decrease in revenue which is sure to occur in the next fiscal year, that some method must be adopted to raise additional revenue to support the schools of the city as well as to meet other municipal expenses. In this connection it was stated that there is at present a tax paid by certain people and firms in incor- porated towns into the territorial treasury This tax is not diverted to the Toad fund of the territory, but is said to go to the general ter ritorial expense fund. As there is said to be nearly one millions dol lars already in this fund, 1t was suggested that it might be possible to get the territorial legislature to refund these taxes to the towns from which they are collected. With this in view, the council will send com munications to the councils of the for their assistance in putting this matter up to the legislature. The matter will also be taken up with the representatives of this division, asking for their support at the prop CT time. With all of the towns acting in concert, 1t is thought that favor able action on the matter will be taken at the coming session of the territorial legislature.
 In addition to these matters, the council transacted the usual routine business. The report of the city clerk for the previous month was accepted and approved The request of the school board for S2,500 was allowed. Bills for the current month were submitted and warrants or dered issued to cover them.
 The report of the clerk for the month of December follows:

Mine Lima Cayalieri. conceded by many authorities to be the worlds greatest beauty. writing for a New York paper. has the following to say concerning wrinkles aud gray | hair:
 Wrinkles and gray hair are the most unwelcome visitors in a wo- mans life They cause sorrow and follow it.
 They are caused by age. by grief. anxiety. and bad facial habits. They are far more easily prevented than cured Stop worrying Stop losing your temper Cease jealous brood ing. Get into tune with life. Stop making faces when you cry, and laugh, and talk
 In one paragraph have told you the psychology of wrinkles. In another l will tell you their physiology. Dry ness of the skin will cause wrinkles. To understand this, study two rose leaves, one moist and full-veined and nourished, the other drying and form l ing fine lines. The dry skin wrin- kles sooner and deeper than the 1 oily skin. Wrinkles are chiefly form ed by the skin ceasing to fit well over the muscles which it protects. i This may be because the muscles shrink, or because the skin loses it's firmness, or both.
 A Few Oon'ts.
 Try to avoid wrinkles by keeping your face placid. The nervous per son has more wrinkles and forms l them earlier than the one of more 1 self-controlled nature. Don't half close your eyes when you laugh. That habit causes wrinkles. Don't 1 let your mouth droop when you are angry or troubled That carves deep lines about your lips, making the l dreaded parenthesis. Don't wrinkle your brow when you talk or listen, to prove your veracity or interest It is a habit that caryes transverse l lines on the brow.
 When they begin to appear take more rest Plenty of sleep is the 1 greatest ironer out of wrinkles. Cor rect the bad habits that have caused them Live simply Nothing brings wrinkles sooner than dissipation and late hours.
 When small fine lines begin to 1 appear, putting cold cream well into the affected area should help to drive them away. Ironing that DOT l tion of the face with small Jumps of ice covered with cotton or gauge is good remedy if you persist in it, A Paris ReCIpe.
 A method in general use in the beauty parlors of Paris, and that has been introduced recently in this country, is to spray the wrinkle area with cool or cold water. If you have not a wrinkle spray large perfume atomiZer will serve the | same end.
 When your skin seems loose and inclined to form into folds use one of the following remedies:
 Dip a bit of absorbent cotton into glycerin and pat 1t well into the wrinkle bed. Or apply cologne wa ter in the same way. In short time you can decide which is the i better adapted to your skin. Gly cerin, while a food and stimulant to

HAWAII ALSO DRY.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. 23- Like Alaska, the Territory of Hawaii will go dry on the first day of next January if the recommendations of the committee on territories are taken into consideration by the mem bers of the house of representatives. For the Hawaiian prohibition bill, as well as that introduced by the delegate from Alaska. were reported fayorably by the committee today. It is expected that both bills will pass the house with no objection except from those representatives who have taken a firm stand against prohibition.
 When the Hawaiian bill was taken uD it was altered somewhat by the committee. The provision making prohibition dependent upon the pc titions of the people of the Hawaiian Islands, in other words, the provision submitting the matter 10 leferen- dunn vote, was eliminated. After that the main features of the Alas kan Dill introduced by the delegate from Alaska were written into the Hawaiian bill

Numerous endless chain let. ters have been brought to the attention of the Red Cross, many of them for causes worthy in themselves, but conducted by un- recognized individuals.
 Nothing of this sort has ever been authorized by the Red Cross, and this is to inform all chapters that all such methods of raising money are without the counsel or countenance of the National Headquarters.
 The above notice has been issued for publication by the chairman of the National adver- Using committee.
