Scientists War Service.

DR.. Alexis Carrel, one of the great
est of living surgeons, head Of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re
search and winner of the Noble prize
for science in 1912, is forty-four years
old. Doctor Carrel, who is a native
of France, Is now wearing the horizon
blue" field uniform of a French lieu
tenant, having been sent by the Rookie
Teller institute to the front at the out
break of the war to conduct an exten-
sive inquiry into modern war surgery.
For his invaluable services to the
French wounded, the French govern
ment has bestowed upon him the cross
Of the Legion Of Honor. Doctor Car
rel looks upon America as his real
home, and after the war will return to
New York to resume direction Of the
Rockefeller institute.

other cities. In the summer of 1890
the first steamship Of the newly estab-
lished Japanese line made port with
her cargo Of silks, teas, curios and
other valuable products of the far
East. A year later the first ship from
Alaska brought absolute proof Of the
intrinsic worth of Alaska's amazing
riches awaiting the prospector.
OF the gold that poured into Seattle
during the first year no estimate was
made. The first effect was to crowd
the city with men of all ages and ma
tionalltes, bound for Alaska and the
Yukon territory. Seattle was electri-
fled with new energy.
Rail meets sail in any seaport city
entered by single line of track, but
Seattle has the advantage over any
other Pacific coast city In that here
more rails meet more sails. King coun-
ty, Of which the city is the county seat,
constitutes port district, and i'm
provements Of harbor facilities are
under way on which the people of the
district have authorized an expendi-
ture Of $S,000,000. The United States
government is building a ship canal,
connecting Lakes Washington and
Union with the waters of Puget sound.
The Duwamish waterway opens the
low-lying lands in the southern part
Of the city and into the county to trans
portation and manufacturing enter
prise. With all these undertakings, de-
manding expenditures aggregating $780,
100000, Seattle will have facilities for
traffic handling and industrial develop
ment that cannot be afforded by any
other Pacific city.

wood grown are the Douglas fir, or
spruce, the giant Of the forest, grow
ing erect to its crown, some 200 feet
high, and this variety has insured
Washington first place In the lumber
industry Of the United States for the
past decade. The red cedar is of great
Importance commercially, reaching
height of 200 feet and having diane
ter in rare cases of over 20 feet, yield
ing for the state of Washington two
thirds of all the shingles produced in
the United States, the majority Of
which are manufactured in Seattle.
Other commercial varieties include
hemlock, spruce, larch and white fir,
In the western sections, and pine and
tamarack in the eastern counties.
The commercial fisheries of the
north Pacific coast are centered in
Seattle. The fishing grounds cover the
whole vast expanse Of the northern
ocean and It's every harbor, the traps
dot the coast at strategic locations and
the cannerles, large and small, are
placed wherever advantageous for
quick handling of the fish. The busi-
ness is directed from Seattle, where all
supplies are procured and where the
product comes for general distribu.
ton.
At Bremerton, directly across Puget
sound from Seattle, is situated the
Puget Sound navy yard, the largest
and most important establishment Of
the navy department on the Pacific
coast. The federal government has
spent hundreds Of thousands of dol.
lars in the building Of another and
much larger dry dock than was at first
used, and for ten years this yard has
been the rendezvous of all naval yes
sells in Pacific waters.
Great Mercantile Port.
The innumerable vessels Of the
worlds merchant marine make this
port one of commercial Importance. It
was on the water front Of Seattle that
series Of happenings, beginning at
far distant points, finally eliminated In
the two greatest events Of Seattle's
early history, namely, the opening Of
direct trade with the Orient and the
arrival of the first substantial shipment
Of gold from Alaska and the Klondike.
Both events followed upon a long
period of national depression during
which Seattle suffered in common with

Japanese Clearing Houses.

The first bankers clearing house es.
tablished in Japan on the foreign
model was that at Osaka, for hundreds
Of years the trade center Of the coun-
try, in 1870. 1t was not until eight
years later that Tokyo followed suit,
opening her clearing house in 1887. To-
day clearing houses are in operation
in Kyoto, Yokohama, Kobe, Nagoya,
Shimonoseki, Moji. Hiroshima, Kan,

In 1900 census reports gave Seattle
population of $4,000, while In July,
lob, the population was reported as
$4,000. II must be remembered that
the first railroad did not enter until
1884, and that fire destroyed $7!000,-
900 worth Of property in 1859, but re-
gardless of these handicaps, the spirit
Of the people remained undaunted.
The sawmill was Seattle's first in
dustry. The city Is virtually built on
lumber foundation. The wonderful
timber resources of the state gave the
first means of livelihood to the early
settlers, and the development Of the
lumber and shlngle industries has
marked the stride of progress in every
line. For years Seattle's annual out
put Of shingles has exceeded that Of
any other city In the world. Not only
is the city headquarters Of the lumber
industry Of the Pacific northwest, but
the major part of the shingles manu-
factured In the entire United States
are made IL this state alone. The
manufacture and export Of lumber
products from Seattle to all parts of
the world form one of Seattle's lead
ing industrial resources.
Largest Lumber Mills.
The largest lumber mills in the
world are located at Port Blakeley,
just opposite the city on Puget sound.
Uncle Sam has locked some 100000

clared are not exempt from mill

1t seems that if this great gov
ernment ever intends to help the
masses that now is the time. The
large money powers, heartless
gamblers, producers of human
burdens, have been permitted to
satisfy their ever enduring greed
by buying up the products of This
country and are holding every ar
ticle of supplies from the people
we believe in open violation of our
national laws. Prices have long
since reached almost to the point
where the poor men working fol
wages cannot decently support
their families, and yet prices are
almost daily soaring higher by
leaps and bounds. Again / say
if the government ever intends tc
help the toiling masses, that il
should take the matter in hand al
once, dethrone those money gods
take from them their ill-gotter
gain, thereby teaching human
brutes that they cannot put th'
poor, struggling masses into egyp
tian bondage, land by such acts Oh
the part of our great and mucl
admired government, the much
needed confidence would be re
stored among the people. We be
lieve it will be done.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAINI |
Cincinnati authority tells how 20 dry
up a corn or callus 90 II iifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freczone applied directly on q
tender, aching>corn or callus, stops sore
ness Mt once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens SO it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callns. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not TO
irritate the surrounding skin.
II your druggist hasn't any freezone
