PETERSBURG IS LIVELY PLACE
 SAYS PERKINS
Editor of the Paper There Is in Juneau to Re- move His Family
 to New Home.

Petersburg is one of the pest little towns on the coast of Alaska at the present time" said M. $. Perkins, editor of the Petersburg Peport, while in town this morn ing. "The cannery there is getting one of the largest packs of any in Southeastern Alaska and yesterday at the time of leaving there, hah well over 10000 cases fish pack ed ard the fish were apparently still running strong in that section.
 "The sawmill there is working ev- cry day, although handicapped by inability to secure sufficient help. Ed. Hurlbut, Territorial Road Com missioner, arrived there yesterday with his crew of road builders ana work on the road connecting the town with Scow Bay will start at once. It is the hope of the Com missioner to get the road nearly completed this fall.
 Houses are at a premium there and it is necessary frequently to build house in order to get place to live. Now that the sawmill is able to supply lumber it is expected that a great number of modern resi- dences will be built, and, in fact, number are now being built" he continued.
 MT. Perkins came north on the City of Seattle this morning to get Mrs. Perkins and baby. It has been impossible for him to secure living quarters at Petersburg before this time. They expect to leave either on the Seattle or Humboldt.

EASY ID DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR You can Bring Back Color and Lustre with Sage Tea
 and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally. so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though. at home is mussy and trouble some. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use prep aration, improved by the addition of other ingredients called .'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning all gray hair disappears. and, after another application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark ened, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair. though no dis grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. This ready to-use preparation is a delightful toi- let requisite and not medicine. It is not intended for the cure. mitiga- ton or prevention of disease.

ROosts are commonly made of small
scantling or narrow strips of board,
about eight or ten inches length of
roost being allowed to each fowl. In
small, low coops the roosts should be
placed about twelve to fifteen inches
from the floor. In larger coops wide
boards, to catch the droppings of the
birds, are generally used under the
roosts, the drOppings board being from
twenty to thirty inches from the floor
and the rOost few inches above the
-droppings board.
The simplest form of nest is box
a little over foot square and not less
than five or six inches deep. When
space is limited the nests should be at
tached to the wall, the bottom Of the
nest being foot or more from the
floor. For fiocks of five or six hens
two nests are needed; for larger flocks
one nest for each four or five hens.
The feeding utensils required are:
HOppers for dry mash, trough for ia,

SALT WOODEN SHIPS
Method Used to Lengthen Life Of
Vessels.
Turns seepage Into Brine, Which Acts
as a PreservatlVe Of the
Wood.

Seattle, Wash.--C. o. Morrow, pres
ident of the Elliottray Shlpbuildlng
company, suffered something of
shock the other morning, but at that it
was nothing to the shock suffered by
several prominent citizens who were
taking stroll through the company's
big wooden shipbuilding plant.
The citizens were shocked when they
discovered that 20 tons of rock salt Is
used in building each of the big wood
en- ships now under construction in
Seattle. Mr.. Morrow was shocked be-
cause his callers didn't know that rock
salt is shipbuilding material. Every
body on the water front knows that,
but it seems that there are a lot of
prominent business men who didn't.
There is now suspicion that only a
very few residents east of Railroad
avenue know that q wooden ship has
to be salted.
In showing the prominent citizens
about his plant Mr.. Morrow came to
the building in which he stores this
rock salt. A railroad car was unload
, ing another shipment.
This is where we keep the salt for
the ships" said Morrow.
"Haw, haw!" said one caller, who is
something of a humorist. 81 suppose
you're afraid the ships will get too
| fresh?"
That's the exact TRUTH" said Mr..
Morrow.
But the citizens wouldn't believe him
until they had examined the salt. Some
of them tasted 1t. The storehOuses
contained 120 tons.
Mr.. Morrow explained that the salt
| is poured between the frames of a
wooden ship above the water line and
is tamped down solid. Then If any wa.
ter seeps into the spaces between the
frames it is turned to brine and does
not damage the wood. Instead, it acts
as q preservativc.

TREAT WOUNDED IN FACE OF FOE

the Red Cross cars went out into the
surrounding country to pick up the
wounded, who were attempting to
walk TO a hospital, and to aid the
refugees struggling along the ad.
Besides transporting these two hun
dred or more wounded men to places
of safety, the Red Cross cars aided
130 refugees to the railroads in three
uays.
But their work had only begun.
Despite the evacuation of the hospital
and the consequent order for more of
the staff to accompany the patients to
points of safety, the wounded kept
coming in. Ninety per cent of them
were serious cases. Practically all
demanded immediate operations. Not
simple operations, but major ones,
where steady nerve, delicate touch
and sure hand were necessary to give
the wounded the best chance for life.
Work Night and Day.
Night and day the American sur
geons worked. There were a few
nurses to assist, but all were tired
completely tagged, mentally and
physically. Every one needed rest
But there were the men coming in
every few hours, their bodies pitifully
torn, and suffering untold agonies. Sc
no one thought of stopping, and even
when one did get few hours off duty
there were the big guns only few
hundred feet from the hospital. They
belched and roared all night.
OF course, some of the cases were
hopeless and no amount of surgical
skill or medical attention could save
| them. Here again the American Red
Cross men came In for more work
They had to dig the graves and act as
pallbearers.
One night was especially hard. The
doctors were kept busy in the oper,
ating room until three o'clock in the
morning. The nurses had to have q
bit of rest. One nurse only was avail
able. So again the Red Cross drivers
were called upon. One became an aid
to the operating surgeon, remaining
in service until the last wounded mar
was rolled finally into his bed.

Cold, damp, poorly lighted and ven

spread of such diseases as roup. Such
contagious diseases as these are diff
cult and sometimes impossible to con-
troll unless given attention in the early
stages. Whenever preventative meas
ures fail, separate sick birds from the
flock as soon as there is evidence Of
disease, and then consult expert advice

.FACIS
SUITABLE SHELTER FOR HENS
House of Appropriate Size, With
Nests, Roosts and Feeding Appli-
ances Is Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Every flock of hens needs suitable
shelter-a coop or house Of appropri-
ate size, furnished with roosts, nests
and appliances for feeding and water
ing. A flock that is to be used for
breeding should also have yard where
the birds can exercise on the ground
and in the open air. Hens kept only
for eggs for the table may be confined
to their house continuously for as long
a time as ordinary hens are profitable
layers. 1t is better to give them an
outdoor run, but when space is limited
1t can be dispensed with.
Small fiocks need little more floor
space per bird than large fiocks, and
birds confined constantly to the house
should have little more floor space
per bird than others. A coop for six
hens should allow five or six square
feet of floor space for each; a house
for twenty to thirty hens, three or four
square feet to each. Yards are usu-
ally planned to give not less than 20
square feet of land per hen.
Small coops which can be cleaned
without entering them may be built
only three or four feet high. This
height is most comfortable for the
hens. Coops for flocks of more than
six or eight birds must be of such
height that grown person can move
about in them. In low coop the same
opening will answer for door and win
dow. In high coOps with larger wall
