Make Most Of Good Points.

Few of us can indulge our tastes as
we would, SO why not make the most
of our good points, If we have any,
and try to appear as attractive as our
limited incomes permit? Women who
are making displays and appearances
beyond their means will never find In
either the satisfaction they anticipate,
for at every turn they will meet some
one who will Outshine them.
Accept your lot and learn to laugh
and be happy. Life has treasures In
store for each Of us, but we shall not
find them unless our search for them
is made in the right and proper way.

Ten Billion I0nS OF Coal.
The Nenana coal field, Alaska, will
be tributary to the government rail-
road now under construction from Sew
ard to Fairbanks. Though the coal of
this field Is Ignite and hence Of low
grade, yet 1t has great value as a
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other Yukon placer camps. The
field is about sixty miles south of Fair
banks. 1t is estimated by the United
States geological survey, department
of the interior, that the Nenana field
contains some ten billion tons Of lig-
mite. The Nenana coal field lies in
what is known as the Bonnifeld re-
gion, which also contains some gold
placers that have been mined in small
way for the last ten years.
