What Wise Precaution Did

St. Mary's Academy can boast
of record, we dare say, not one
other institution in the State, or
in others. possibly, made during
the epidemic.
When the State Board of Health
ordered all the schools, public
institutions, places of amusement,
ETC., closede the day students were
barred from the convent, but the
large number of boarders land the
attendance is larger this year than
ever before in the history of st.
Mary's), continued their studies
uninterruptedly. Every precau-
ton was taken not even the
parents were allowed inside the
gate, and it was a pleasing Incl.
dent to see daily, bright, happy
girls leaning over the fence, talk
ing to relatives, at safe distance,
while trades people delivered ne.
cessities ct certain place in the
grounds, where they were taken in |
charge by some one inside. |
So, due to the wise precautions
and never relaxing care of Sister
Lucy, the efficient Superior, not
,ne single case of flu broke out on
convent Hill, and school opened
Monday with every old pupil in
place, and this unusual record.

Commission Sent to England to Secure Exchange Agreement
 With the Allies

LONDON.-Iceland is feeling the pinch of shortage of supplies and has sent a commission here to make an agreement with the Entente na- tions for an exchange of commodi- ties. They ask for renewal of the commercial arrangement between Iceland and Great Britain which had been in effect since 1916.
 In connection with the negotia- tion, representatives of France, Italy and the United States have also been appointed to attend the con- ferences.
 The island produces only fish, mutton, wool and sheepskins. Such commodities as cereals and other foodstuffs, as we'll as all manufac- tured goods have to be imported. The main object of the agreement is therefore, to provide reasonable rations for the Icelanedrs in ex- change for which, as we'll as for fishing facilities in allied ports, Ice land undertakes to sell to the Allies her products for a certain fixed and agreed price.
 The agreement, therefore, is pure ly matter of exchange of Allied and Icelandic products, and has no political significance whatever.
 A recent attempt of the German press to stir up trouble in Den mark by suggesting that Great Brit ain is spending money on the island with the object of separating Ice land from Denmark, to which she politically belongs, although she en- joys home rule, is declared to be without foundation in fact.

NEW BOOKS ARE
 ORDERED BY THE
 NENANA LIBRARY

MT. Joseph today mailed an order to bowman & Hanford, Seattle, for 175 new books for the public library.
 During the recent collections for new cards, there was turned in by Mrs. Ellenson $40, and by Miss Slip perm $17. The amount of $57 was remitted to bowman & Hanford, with an order for approximately 175 new books, the letter to that firm being published below.
 New cards will be issued and mailed to those who subscribed, with in the next few weeks, before the expiration of their old cards, none of which is dated earlier than Sep tember 30, 1918.
 It was found best to not attempt to raise more funds at the present time, due to the fact that so many were leaving for the Outside. By the time of the arrival of the books the navigation season will be nearly ended, and the population that will remain for the winter will be more definite quantity.
 It is believed that there will be little difficulty in taking up the sight draft for the balance of the order at that time, under more set tied conditions than those existing at present.
 The library management wishes to thank the Nenana public for their promp response to the recent publi- cation of books overdue, which have been returned in considerable num- bers. Incidently, the News comes in for a share of their thanks for pub fishing the statement, which cost considerably more work than setting up an ordinary newspaper article covering the same space.
 MT. Gagnon has been instructed to assess a fine against those who fail to return books within the two weeks limit hereafter, which amounts to twenty-five cents per week or fraction thereof; an exception to this will be made in favor of those who reside out of town, as it is impossible for them to get the books returned promptly in all cases. But those who live in town should re- turn their own, and any stray books they find, within the required limit.
 The letter to bowman & Hanford follows:
 July 15, 1918. "Lowman & Hanford, Seattle, Wash.
 Dear Sirs s:-Enclosed find P. o. M. o. for $5O.OO Please ship to the undersigned with sight draft for the balance due, the following order of books:
 "There is attached a list of TT books taken from your late month ly bulletins. But as only received a few of these I am unable to com plete as large a list as we desire. However, I believe you can com plete this to our satisfaction.
 "Our last order was filled by you early in the summer of 1917.
 "So if you will add to the 77 list ed, 98 other volumes, total of 175, to be taken from fiction publica- tions, none of which were published prior to June 1917, no doubt we will have just about what we desire.
 In doing this, make a total of about twenty books on the subjects of the war, the list I have enclosed containing 13 of these. All the others fiction published within the year; and the war books must not be prior to June 1917, as we al- ready have quite a selection of the publications of the previous year.
 Yours very truly,

CIVILIAN RELIEF
 WORK OF RED CROSS

Giving information to families of soldiers and sailors is just as much a part of Home Service as giving them aid when sick or in want. The rapid transportation of our soldier boys and sailors to France has brought up a world of questions on the part of their relatives that Home Service Sections are equipped and prepared to answer. How to address soldiers and sailors: how to get definite and accurate information about the man now in France who will soon be in the trenches, as relatives will want to know whehetr or not they are SICK, wounded, captured Or missing; how to get information about men who are sick in the hospitals of our different cantonments; of pay when compulsory and when volutary; and how obtalned; how to secure government allowances or government compensation when the man is injured; what the government will do to equip soldier or sailor for new occupations when war injury des-- trovs their former occupation, and many other questions that perpleX and worry these families who are very anxious about their loved ones.
 There is so much false German pro paganda constantly going about that home service sections can do much to aid the war situation in giving out correct and authentic information;
 Offices have been opened at 2o9 12 West Barraque street to which the families of soldiers and sailors are free to come for a private talk about their home affairs that are botherlng them. me T. J. Collier, chairman, Miss HS Lllliah Healey, secretary. Phone 463' c4

Your high heels have put corns on your toes and calluses on your feet but why care now?
 A genius in Cincinnati discovered a magic compound and named it free zone. A quarter ounce of this fee zone can new be had at any drug store for a few cents. Apply a few drops on your tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly you will find the corn or cal Jus so shriveled and loose that you lift it off with your fingers.
 Just think! You get rid of hal corn, soft corn or corn between the toes, as we'll as hardened calluses. for a few cents and without suffering one particle, without the slightest irr- tation of the surrounding skin. Just a touch of this marvellous freezone on a sore, troublesome corn gives instant relief.

The Useful Biacksnaise,

In Burlington county, New Jersey, the farmers who, in the erroneous be- Hef that they are g pest, have been killing blacksnakes, are being urged to conserve them as enemies ot the rat tiers, which have been ul,pleasantly numerous this year. The damage done by the nonpoisonolls reptiles is HOW recognized to be of slight account in comparison with the good they do. Not only will the bIacksnake fight and best the rattler, but he earns more than his keep by keeping down other pests. It has taken man long time to identify his friends of the lower orders, and even today many Dersecuted animals do not receive the credit that is due to them.

 And no less happy in their effect than her music was her talk on Bel giun, her English, for which she made profound apo1OpioS heinz mart of the charm Of the narrative, which was most moving where it was most re- strained.
 "M. Jan Gollingnon has bass baritone which is refreshing to hear Of good quality, of fine resonance and power, it's value is heightened by a superb mastery of the siging art.
