prosecute war for conquest only. Her weapon is for defense If handieu wisely she will use 1t only in self-de- fense. Like the grizzly bear and many other reputedly blood thirsty animals, the honey bee is a perfectly harmless and neighborly creature. The seasoned apiarist" will handle them with bare hands He will let them hang by hun dreds to his body They are his pets, as the poutryman's fowls are his pets. It's all in knowing how.
 The amount of work required to han dle these two side lines will, of course, be proportioned to the space given them in the larger programme Of the general business. Poultry yards may well be made into fruit orchards-as though no poultry were kept. The more fruit trees, the better for the poultry-and every tree will be benefited by the presence of the fowls underneath it.
 The first season it might be well to handle only single pair Of colonies If these are strong ones, and the pest methods are studied and faithfully practiced, the second season will find the poultryman quite an apiarlst as well. In fruit culture little more boldness may be exercised from the first The vegetable garden should be reserved open to the rays of the sum- But all the ground devoted to the poultry plant may be also devoted studiously and wisely to our two side lines-fruit and bee culture-thus giv- ing three crops where otherwise there would be but one. The three crops would be mutually supplementary, each being stronger because of the other two, This is familiar trick of wise old Nature.

To Have Perfect Skin
 Throughout the Summer

These days the face needs special care and attention. Flying dust and dirt the beating sun, are severe on any skin. Their despoiling effects are best over come by the application of pure mer- colized wax This keeps skin and pores in cleanly condition, the complexion beautifully white and spotless Dis- colored, freckled and roughened cuticle are actually absorbed by it. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, Is sufficient to completely renovate a soiled complexion. It is used like cold cream, allowed to remain on oyer night. and washed off in the morning.
 As the skin tends to expand in warm good astringent lotion should be used. Dissolve oz. powdered saxolite in 5a pt. witch hazel. Bathe the face in this during the heat of the day or before going out for theatre or social affair. It is a remarkable skin tightener and wrinkle eraser.-Adv.

ROSE COMB BUFF ORPINGTONS

Probably the best and certainly the most popular of all the English breeds of poultry is the Orpington. It has undoubted utility qualities, both as a layer and a market fowl.
 The late William Cook of England originated all the Orpingtons. The Rose Comb is intended for northern attitudes where winters are severe and where frosted combs mean mo more winter eggs" Fowls possessing rose combs are not so susceptible to frost as those having single combs The Rose Comb Orpington is popular on this account, which is especially true

of the buff variety. Many excellent specimens of Buff Orpingtons have been bred and exhibited, and they are gaining more breeders each year.
 They are good layers of large, tint ed eggs. The chicks are rugged and rapid growers, reaching maturity at a comparatively early age From broiler age to roasting size they make ex- cellent table poultry. Females weigh seven to eight pounds; males eight and one-half to ten pounds. They have rich. golden buff plumage in all sec tions. white skin and white legs and feet.

It would be a sight worth the price of admission. Don't try to explain anything to me, MT. Caudle; you'll find yourself in the same fix that fly finds himself In when he becomes en- tangled in a nice, sticky piece of fly paper! Oh, dear!

outlook will always be bright and cheer full. At the same time all that it is pos slble or prudent for man to do along strictly fancy lines can be done with almost no element of hazard. Where one keeps from dozen to 50 fowls in the little back lot, there is small risk at any rate; for pleasure and recrea- ton are two the main considerations. His living is not involved. His eggs are not all in this one basket But where 300 fowls are kept, and thousand or more are raised every year. it is well to see to it that the commercial basis is maintained with utmost certainty.
 BEE CULTURE EASY SIDE LINE
 Thousands of people are cultivating bees for the pleasure of it. Incidentally, they are gathering nice profit. One good hive of the little honey getters will store for your use from 40 to 50 pounds in one season. This ought to be worth $12.50 in cash right at the door. It is easy to see that a hundred colonies at this rate should challenge the interest of any man who has the space to devote to their care. Not much space Is required though.

EXPERIENCE MUCH IN DEMAND

Bee culture on large scale requires expert knowledge and large experience. The same may be said of fruit culture Each is skilled occupation. No one can master all there is in them in a year. or in five years.
 But the poultryman is to handle them in strictly subordinate way. He is to be an expert in his main line-he may be a skillful amateur only in his two side lines. He should not begin bindly. A few dollars invested in the most down. to-date books on his two chosen supplements to his main business will be the best investment he can make at the beginning. The price of the books will return to him manifolded within 12 months

Whlcn he sought but also the pollen dust, which somehow must be borne to another blossom of different Varety on some distant tree. On he goes and without in- tending it, he bears the pollen dust to the other blossoms-and the essential work of cross pollination is accomplished.
 It has been proved that large or chards have failed to produce because of the lack of the services of the honey bee. When the apiary was established al the edge of the orchard a large fruit crop was regularly produced Fruit farms are for this reason taking up bee culture a secondary and supplement- ary industry. The fruit orchards fur nsh working grounds for the bees and the bees do the vital work of fertiliz- ing the fruit blossoms. Some 80 per cent of the work of cross polination has been found to be performed by honey bees.
 Thus it is seen how vitally the fruit orchard and the apiary are related. The poultry plant and the fruit orchard are just as naturally and vtally related The domestic fowl was originaly a bird of the jungle Her delights is to forage in the dense shade, diging about the roots of shrubs and trees, capturing and devouring endless numbers of insects, and gathering from the native soil hun dred and one kinds of stuff about which you and I understand nothing, but which sine rapidly manufactures into personal property for the increase of our hold ings.
 Thus the fowls forage in the fruit or chard with much profit to themselves, while at the same time they return to the fruit, shrubs and trees culture and fertility most needed.

This IS one reason why the apiary can
 be easily accommodated lon the side'
 One bookkeeper in the west worked his
 bee business up as a side line till he had
 l65 colonies working most effectively on lot only 60 by i10 feet. Honey to the value Of Sl40O was produced one season. All the work was performed mornings and evenings, with the cooperation of an industrious and sympathetic wife. Colo nles are placed in pairs, the two being only a few inches apart. Three or four ] feet at least should intervene between the pairs. Many hives close together In a continuous row will be likely to work con- | fusion among the bees, besides making it | much more difficult to care for any par l tlcular colony without seriously disturb l ing others.

 CT can increase his holdings according to | the scope of his business. A fve-a acre poultry farm should easily carry from | 50 to 100 hives. A farm of from 50 to | 100 acres has almost limitless capacity | for bee culture as a secondary industry. 1 In fact. the man in the dense city is
 not altogether excluded from the privi- lege of the small home apiary. Colonies
 may be kept on the flat roof of a town house All the bees ask is a good place l for their little house to stand. They will willingly travel miles to gather their wealth, never failing to get back we'll | loaded to the home hive. When once well 1 at work the care of the colony is almost nothing. At swarming time they must | be looked after. At all other times the thing that they above all things desire 1 is to be left alone.

NIGHT SCHOOL
 WILL MEET AT
 SCHOOL TONIGHT
Class in Stenography Will Begin Its Work by
 Organizing
 Tonight.

The next regular session of the Citizenship Night School will meet tonight in the rooms assigned at the previous meetings. The attendance at the last meeting was increased very materially, especially in the Citizenship class. The students of this class show an eagerness to get down to regular work and the op- portunity was given them, when reg ular assignments were given them in their study of History, Civics, Eng fish and Reading and writing. Mrs Bishop, who has charge of this work, has gained the confidence of the entire class and the Citizenship classes are particularly fortunate in having such an efficient and exper- fenced instructor for their work. A big drive will be made in the next week to increase the enrolment ot this class and bring it up to fifty or more. There is no charge whatever to be made these students unless 1t is found necessary to provide an ad- ditional teacher in which case fee of S250 will be made as matricu- lation fee.
 The class in stenography will meet tonight and regular work will be begun Mr Britain who will have charge of this work has reputa- tion for efficiency in his teaching methods and no one who has a de- sire to secure expert instruction in typewriting and shorthand can af- ford to pass up this opportunity A charge of approximately $2.5O per month is being required of steno- graphy students and it is certain that citizens of Juneau have never before had the opportunity to get this work at such a modest cost, Several additional students can be accommodated in this work as 1t is essential that those desiring this work be present at tonight's meet ing.
 The Spanish class enrolment is increasing each night and will like ly soon be the largest class. Mrs. Coombs has begun regular work and the class will meet on Mondays and Fridays at o'clock. A charge of approximately $2 per month is being made Spanish students. The night school meets at o'clock on Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays.
