rid of the stumps and logs on that

living on it. If you're too busy
to do it yourself that's a pretty sure
sign you are making money, so
hire some one to do it for you.
There are still a few idle men in
town; mighty few tho. Plant flow
ers and garden truck as soon as
the season will permit. Get a !

Don't wait for your neighbor to

camps. and mining camps pass
into oblivion after a few years of
mushroom growth. Remember
Nenana is not a mining camp. nor
is she of the mushroom variety.

Mary Roberts Rinehart nor Sam
uel G. Blythe. Two of the FORE
most of American writer's of the
present day, the product of their
pens is known to the reading pub
lie turnout the world. The FORM
er has given to the world an insight
into the real conditions of the aw-
full struggle in Europe such as can
never be gained by a personal visit
to the scenes of strife after the
war shall have ceased, when moth
ing remains of the carnage but a
series of grass grown mounds and
the ruins of buildings. Mr.. Blythe
has also given US an insight into
the industrial and commercial life
of our own great country, and is
undoubtedly one of the best quail
fled men before the public today
to bring to the attention of the
great mass of the people the ad-
vantages and possibilities of par
ticular community or industry.
To the brilliant pen of Mary
Roberts Rinehart may be attribut-
ed the great popularity which the
Glacier National park in Montana
has attained in the past two years,
for it was thru the medium of the
word picture, drawn by her versa
tile pen, wherein she described
the wonders of Nature which were
revealed to her on her trip thru
that park, that the people of the
United States, and all the world,
were made aware of the fact that
the park existed.
Thousands of American tourists
have for a great many years been
going to Europe to view the famous
scenes and watering places of the
continent. not because they cared
particularly for Europe, but be-
cause the wanderlust was strong
within them. They come back
each year resolved never to cross
again, but each year has seen
them fare forth, to travel the same
routes and return again, because
there is nowhere else to Co."
There are, besides these dyed.in-
the-wool migratory tourists, count
less thousands of Americans who,
altho they could i'll afford the ex.
pensf of a European trip, would
CRAZY their wanderlust. and who
of US can say he has never felt its
call, if it were not for the fact that
they cannot take the time. The
American tourist can be easily
persuaded to forego the doubtful
pleasures of the trip to Europe

Of an Alaska trip, which will be
opened to them when the railroad
is opened thru from the coast to
Nenana.
Alaska has been advised, and
the notice comes in the nature of
a warning, that these two repre-
sentatives of the American public
will pay us a visit this summer.
The people of Nenana should take
particular heed of this warning
and prepare to convince her pros
pective guests that Nenana is on
the map and is the most important
commercial point in the Interior.
Convince Mr.. Blythe of this and
he will advertise the fact to the
world, to the everlasting benefit of
Nenana. Then. too. Nenana must
remember that Mckinley National
park. whose beauty and wealth of
scenic grandeur, whose glory of
primeval majesty is not surpassed,
or even equalled by any other in
the world, lies at our very doors
and invites us to be its sponsor.

in Alaska is the playground they
have sought the world over to find,

the parks location from a tourists

Have a Heart

One of the most Marvellous and at
the same time, generally unappre-
ciated faculties Of the human body
is it's ability to accommodate itself
to incurable injuries. Some of the
indispensable bodily functions are
carried on by duplicate organs as
the two lungs, two kidneys. for ex-
ample. If one becomes incapaci-
tated, the other succeeds remark
ably we'll in doing double work.
In the instance of that most es-
sential and yet only single organ,
the heart, Nature has provided an
ability to the body to maintain life
even in the face of serious disord-
ers. This capacity is called com
pensation" by physicians. w h
proper consideration and lighter
ing of the load put upon the organ,
it is possible for person with an
incurable heart disease to live out
a normal life span. Indeed, intel
ligent patients thus afflicted fire.
quently live beyond their normal ex-
pectancy, as the life insurance peo-
pie say.
The first thing for a person to do
who has learned from a competent
physician that he has an affected
heart is to set his mind in order.
He should accept whole heartedly
the philosophy that What can't be
cured must be endured" If he isn't
yellow" and doesn't belong to the
"quitter class, it. remarkable
how easy Endurance will become.
To squeal about his infrmity is as
inexcusable as is the child who lies
down and pounds his head and toes
against the floor because his moth
er prohibits him doing something
he desired very much to do.
If the victim of heart disease is
told to avoid rapid stair climbing,
he will soon learn that the few .ex-
ira seconds required to go slowly
don't count. If he must give up vi
client exercise, he can learn how
much recreation and keen enjoy
ment are to be found in books and
watching others play. Many of the
most beautiful things in life are
seen and heard only by the persons
who are compelled to be quiet. The
hustlers miss such things entirely.
OF course it is far better to avoid
heart disease than to be compelled
t accommodate oneself to It, or
worse, to die from it. And the di-
sease is largely preyentable. The
attention that modern physicians
are paying to diseased tonsilsb and
diseased teeth will result in the saw
ing of many cases of death and in
validism.
