MAKES TRIP TO
 HEADWA7ERS OF
 THE TAKU RIVER 'F|lv
E. P. Pond and Party Re- turn with Much Data to Be Presented for
 Road Building.

F. P. Pond, Jack Johnson, and Cap tain William Strong returned Sunday night after making a trip to Nakina at the headwaters of the Taku river.
 The men expected to get gasoline at the mouth of the river, but were disappointed and had enough supply only to reach the Hilty ranch near Tyee Salmon river. From there they took a large canoe and poled and lined the boat up the swift waters The river was high and therefore polling and lining along the snags of the river bank was slow and tedious work.
 Owing to the roughness of the go ing it was necessary to abandon the pack train at Silver Salmon river, and pack the necessary supplies on their backs for the last 12 miles
 The object of this trip was to meet party of Canadian officials and engineers who came overland from Atlin, and were to make the trip down the Taku for the purpose of studying the country with a view of building road as soon as war conditions will permit. The party from Atlin reached the agreed place and on the return trip two days before the Pond party reached the headwaters. They were running short of food and did not think it advisable to wait longer.
 The trip back down the river was made in record time. MT. Pond says the trip was not in. vain as he gathered much valuable data which will be presented to the Can adian officials. He says the weather was fine the whole distance. The country abounds in game and in ploces they passed through grass as high as their head
 The country will produce many farm products whenever a roadway furnishes transportation" he said

Night TerrOrs.
kQTEp

Night Terrors,
A four-year-oId boy goes to bed
all right, and in the night he gets
out of bed and staggers about aim
lessly, He thinks he sees pigs chas-
ing him and he is afraid. When his
anxious parents strive to quiet him
he seems really beside himself and
quite out of his head for a while
Then presently he comes to, and
goes back to bed and sleeps quietly
the rest of the night. That is might
terrOrs," or as a doctor not know
| ing much about it would say, payor
nocturnus.
A. common cause Is partial as
phyXia or air-hunger due to ade-
noids or other distractions to nor
NAL breathing. Another common
cause is mental excitement in the
evening and sitting up too late at
night. \ child of four or eight years
should be abed before 8 o'clock in
/ the summer time and before 8
O'Clock in the winter time.
| Night terrOrs is more frequent in
/ the children of neurotic parents.
That is to say, parents in whose
personal or family histories such
conditions as migraine, hysteria,
epilepsy, alcoholism and insanity
are especially prominent A child
| who suffers with night terrors in
| the degree above described is rath-
Ter likely to suffer with one of these
neurotic conditions later in life.
| But a child may have mild night
terTors wholly from simple causes,
such as nasal obstruction or i'm
proper diet.
| The child can seldom recall what
happened if questioned the next
! day. It is all an unconscious per
Torrance.
! During the attack the child does
not recognize those around him,
which makes it all the more diff
cult to reassure and quiet him, IN
! til he RECEIVERS consciousness.
| In the milder form of night ter
rors the child does not recognize
! those around him, and he explains
that he has had a bad dream, a
mere nightmare
One mother noticed that the lit
/ tie patient invariably assumed a
queer posture in sleep before an
attack of night terrors. He assum-
ed a knee-chest posture. This in
itself suggested the cause-ade-
noids- In this posture breathing
was less obstructed. The removal
of the adenoids not only cured the
night terrors but changed the whole
disposition and physical makeup Of
| the child for the better.
A close, poorly ventilated bed
room is an ideal place for night
terroTs1 Well, a sort Of terror of
night air is the reason for the I'M
ventilated bedroom.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am 10
years Old and married. Ny hus-
band is a soldier. / lost my baby
several months ago.
Today a girl that | supposed was
a friend tat least more than an ac-
quaintance) told me that she and
almost everyone else who knew me
thought me heartless ana almost
inhuman. When | asked the reason
why she explained that it was be
cause ! had failed to discuss the
subject OF my baby and was able 70
laugh and be able to go on with
life and never cried and because
apparently / worried more about
my husband than my baby.
Do you think that the things she
says are true2 That sensible peo-
pie could believe anything Of the
sort? God knows that l surely
wanted the baby and the suffering
| went through when it was born
dead. II isn't the easiest thing in
the world to have things of that
sort turn out wrong.
Do you think the fact that I fail
to cry before people and don't care
to explain my feelings for their
benefit and go on as if nothing had
happened should give them the i'm
preston that I am ''heartless and
inhuman? ?" Perhaps | do cry when
/ am alone and then perhaps /
don't. Why should my feelings be
dragged out and dissected by my
friends? Why shouldn't l be anX-
ious about my husbands welfare
Why should I be judged wrongly
because I do not cry constantly or
wear mourning? 1 couldn't afford
to buy a mourning outfit even if l
so desired.
Do you think that other people
do hold that opinion or that she dis
likes me and was simply using that
method to hurt me? II the latter
be the case, she should rest assured
that she succeeded in doing so.

THE PLATE THROWER-
BY Genevieve Ulmar.

"a model man and a good match
for Mabel" pronounced Robert Els
don, but his wife, and Mabels moth
er, shook her head slightly.
Il won't deny tIE}t Warren has
done well in a general sense" she
observed. HE is successful in
d business way, he absolutely woT-
ships Mabel, he has no bad habits,
but he has a fearful temper. Quick
as a flash, when things don't suit
him, he goes all to pieces"
"Old wives fables!" derided her
husband. Warren was a spoiled
child, but he is no longer a boy.
His impulses are naturally kindly.
and if he has d temper. as you say,
Mabel will cure il.
There was a semblance of verify
to the reputation Warren Joyce
had achieved as a man with a
temper. He had never been taught
to control himself, and one month
after he and Mabel were- settled in
their pretty home his helpmeet had
a real sample of his irritability. But
Mabel had been watching for the
outbreak and was prepared for il.
A stranger had called one morn
ing, just as Warren was at break
fast. He brushed by Mabel, forced
his way into the dining room,
placed a legal looking document
before Warren and insolently OBJ
served

open window. When he came home
that night, sweet tempered enough
he found kitty penued into a coop
and his own pet collie chained with

Mabel all consideration and love.
After that Warren was a trihe
less impetuous when things crossed
him, but Mabel heard of his break
ing out at the office, discharciuE
some old employee for petty fault
and taking him back at advanced
wages when his fit Of temper had
cooled down. Then Warren went
away on a months trip, LOOKING
after the road interests of the bust
ness. IL Glanced that 500 miles
from home he was enticed into a
plunge into cool. sparkling brook.
When he came out he found his
clothes gone and in their place n
trampish tattered attire that made
him shudder.
There was no way for It but to
get TO the nearest town. At its out
skirts Warren waR seized by two
constables. He was taken before

identified as the tramp who the day

As Others See Us.

To see ourselves others see US" is certain
to do one of two things-good or i'll; criticism may
provoke anger or lead to careful introspection.
During the past few weeks a very prominent
London Episcopal clergyman, who is also editor of
widely circulated religious weekly, has been
addressing large gatherings of ministers and Chris
tan people at the Northfeld Winona Lake and other
representative conferences in addition preaching
on Sundays in a New York church Before sailing
for England few days ago. DR.. Stuart Holden gave
to interviewer some Of the impressions made up
on his mind by his visit to this country. The very
candid manner in which he deals with the danger
attending over optimistic spirit is worthy of
serious consideration. That is truest friend
who points out our faiIings and of break
ers" ahead.
"As regards this great war feel that America
is feeling as it were only ripple the surface
of her life. Please don't think that I fail to under
stand all that you doing. and all that you will
do he continued. But the hasn't really dis
turbed your living deeply yet, I know how difficult
it is for Americans to the truth of such words
That is natural But have had four years of it.
Why, to give you illustration of what I mean,
let me tell you that in my church haven't
left under fifty-one years of age. And then
you must remember that, for example, there hasn't
been pleasure manufactured in England since
January, 1915. Not a piano has been made and
doubt whether any has been sold. You can't buy an
ordinary sack suit such this I have on. I've
had this five years'-and the smile came back
he said it. I'VE have four million women in war
industry I need not tell you the significance of
that.
while in Pittsburgh afternoon paper
out with four-inch headlines, 16 Americans
Killed; Win Great Battle Well our casualty lists
sometimes hundred thousand a week, and we
don't talk of winning battles. The real danger in
America, think, is optimism. I know SO well how
splendidly your have fought and l know how
natural your pride in them after all they oc
cupy only small part of the front, and as 1 say
there is danger in talking of winning great battles
This is very friendly criticism and it is because
I have such regard for the American peo-
pie that I constrained to utter this warn
ing note"
To be cautious and yet not too optimistic does
not mean that should not be determined We
may profit nation by accepting the friendly criti
cism of what others see in US. We are going to
win. but must be sure that we do it. and not
be content only in the thought

JOTTINGS FROM
MY NOTEBOOK
By RALPH NJ. MODPHETT
AMERICA FOR ME.

'Tis fine to see the old world and
travel up and down,
Among the famous places and cities
or renown,
To admire the crumbly castles and
the statues OF the kings.
But now l think I've had enough Of
antiquated things.
CHORUS.
So it's home again, and home again,
America for me!
MY heart is turning home again and
there l long to be,
In the land of youth and freedom,
beyond the ocean bars.
Where the air is full of sunlight
and the flag is full of stars.
Oh London is q mans town, there's
power in the air,
And Paris is a w4oman's town, with
flowers in her hair,
And it's sweet to be in Venice and
it's great to be in Rome,
But when it comes to living, there
is no place like home.
| knew that Europe wonderful, yet
it something seems to lack;
The past is too much with her, and
the people looking back,
But the glory of the present is to
make the future free.
We love our land for what she is
and what she is to be.
CHORUS.
oh, it's home again, and home again,
America for mel
want a ship that's westward
bound to plow the rolling sea,
To the blessed land OF Room
Enough beyond the ocean
bars.
Where the air is full of sunlight
and the flag is full of stars.
