Straiuhtenino Wire.

Stray pieces of copper wire have
many uses, but ii often is necessary
TO straIghten out wire that has already
sharp bends or kinks in the wire and
straighten out by hand any such that
are found. Fasten an end Of the wire
to some firm anchorage; grip 1t in
the wise IL need be- Loop the other
end of the wire around a hammer
handle or similar instrument and then
pull out the length of the wire. Re-
peat the operation as often as neces-
sary. If the wire is of soft copper it
will stretch little, which improves
1t.

What Is storax7

Probably you never heard Of storax,
which is gum that is imported from
Asia Minor. Makers of perfume es-
TEEN it so highly that they have been
paying $40 pound for 1t instead Of
20 cents, which was the price before
the war. Now it appears that red
gum tree, common in our Southern
states, yields a gum fully equal in
quality TO the imported storax. That
is only one of hundred ways In
which the war is disclosing America
resources.-l outh's Companion.

One lnch-1oo Miles

Telephone experts declare that IL
person speaking over phone holds
the transmitter four inches from his
mouth 1t is equivalent to adding about
220 miles to the line over which he
is conversing, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. Carelessness in the man
ner of using telephone INSTRUMENT
is one OF transmission. The best re-
suits are obtained by allowing about
half an inch to intervene between the
mouth and the transmitter.

EPIDEMIC GERMS
 WITHOUT OANCERI
 AWAY FROM BODY

As soon as it became generally known that the influenza epidemic was rapidly spreading to all parts of the States, and with view to preventing its entrance into Alaska, Townsite Manager H. B. Joseph after conference with the hospital surgeons and the engineer in charge of this division, wired to Governor Riggs, suggesting that all the mails coming into Alaska be thoroughly disinfected as an essential measure for the safeguarding of the public health.
 Townsite Manager Joseph received telegram from Governor Riggs on Saturday, stating that the surgeon general of the army advises that the bacteria of influenza is shortlived and that it will not live away from the body and that the only danger of contracting the disease is from direct contact. In view of this opinion of the surgeon general, Gov ernor Riggs does not think that the disinfection of the mails will be necessary.

VALDEZ VOTERS
 HEAR DELEGATE :.
 TALK ON ISSUES

VALDEZ.-Delegate Charles A. Sulzer addressed large crowd in this city on Saturday night, and during the course of his talk rend- cred complete accounting of his activities at Washington, on be- half of Alaska. The crowd was very friendly disposed toward the dele gate throughout the meeting, and Democratic leaders are claiming to- day that he will carry the Third division by fully five hundred majority.
 Sulzer analysed the various speeches made by Wickersham and declared that while he pretended to be working sincerely for the ad- vancement of Alaska during eight years of office-holding, he was dur ing that time working out personal grudges against his enemies and had no time left to devote to needed legislation. Sulzer replied to every charge made by Wickersham against him during the present campaign, and produced evidence to show that the former delegate had not acted in good faith in many matters of importance to the Northland. Sulzer has covered the Anchorage and Seward districts and, after holding a meeting at Cordova, will proceed to the First division for the tail end of his campaign.

ROYAL R. DOUSE
 DIES SUDDENLY AT IOWA CAMP
Another Popular Young Nenanaite Falls Victim to Epidemic At
 At Iowa Training Camp.

Yesterday morning Nenanaites were shocked to learn of the death of Roy Douse at Camp Dodge, Iowa :; and, as in the previous cases, no previous intimation of his illness had been received locally. It is presumed that the result of an at tack of influenza was the cause of death.
 The sad news was contained in a telegram from Grady Sumerlin, now sergeant in Company B, 14th Infantry, at Camp Dodge, Iowa, to Frank Doner, special disbursing agent of the A. E. C., dated October
 18th and reading as follows:
 Roy Douse died this morning, ill one week. He is the sixth from Nenana. His and Meagher's bodies are being sent to their homes in 1 the East''
 Roy Douse joined the Alaskan Engineering commission on July 8,
 1916, and served the Commission in the store department until March 30, 1918. He joined the country's service by voluntary induction and left with the rest of the Nenana volunteers on July 26th on the steamer Panama for the training camp at Fort Gibbon.
 He was we'll and favorably known to great many in the district, who received the sad intelligence with deep regret.
 His brother Fred Douse, who operates the launch Victory between Nenana and Fairbanks, was greatly shocked when he was told the sad news on his arrival yesterday after noon. It would appear that tele- gram had been received by Mrs. Fred Douse at Fairbanks, who phoned him the news
 On hearing of Roy's illness, Mrs. Gus Myers, of Brooklyn, and Mrs. Holm, of St. Louis, sisters of the deceased, rushed to his bedside at once and remained with him to the end.
 He is the youngest of a family of eight children and is the first of them to be called by death. His body, which has been shipped to his home in Brooklyn, will be buried with military honors.
