 Even when man has the courage of his convictions he hasn't enough to tell the truth to his wife.
 It is mighty good thing for a husband that a wife's actual needs do not increase as rapidly as her wants.
 Every time father dresses in the morning he is convinced that the laundry syndicate and the collar trust are in cahoots.

 To grouchy man it seems that the High Schools in this country are kept busy turning out smart Alecks. Isn't il wonderful what lot of pleasure some people can get out of telling their troubles to others! About the only time mother gets any attention at home is when she is too sick to appreciate it.

Blankets and Comforts
 Need Washing Often

If blankets and comforts were washed once a year century ago, our forefathers thought it was sui ficient.
 Now we know that these bed clothes become soiled even if to the eye they may seem sanitary enough.
 If you would have your blankets and comforts as spotless and i'm maculate as your other bed linen, send them to us. We employ q special method of laundering that makes them light and fresh, that gives them wonderful fluffiness, that frees them from every impurity

BREATHE ROCK DUST
Millions of Particles Taken Into
Lungs With Air.
7y9'ene Experts Oevisino Means Of
Removing Dust and Fumes
From Air in Factories.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Over zoe, 1000.
UO tiny particles Of dust, as sharp as
ground glass, are breathed into the
lungs and air passages with every
cubic foot of air in some Of the fac
tories in the United States, according
to survey made by the public health
service here.
Such dusts breathed into the lungs
are never expelled. Photomicrographs
show the tiny particles to be exceed
lngly sharp and Jagged and chemical
tests prove them to be practically in
soluble. Work under such condi-
tons invites respiratory diseases and
makes a real health hazard. Similar
Investigations in chemical factories
showed that laborers were frequently
exposed to poisonous fumes and gases
The investigation was made at Nj
agara Falls because plants were en-
gagged in the manufacture of abras-
Ives, chemicals, gases, electrodes, car
bons, metals and alloys In all of the
factories the labOrers were found to
be exposed to dangers which would
eventually incapacitate them for fur
ther work. Fortunately over 60 per
cent Of the labor in these plants seeks
new employment monthly and the re-
suit of exposure to such dangers is
not evident as 1t would be if the work
ers remained at the same work for
longer periods.
AS result Of the survey industrial
hygiene engineers devised means Of
removing the dust from the air and
poisonous gases. In spite of the fact
that the installation of such devices
was expensive, factory arrangements
Immediately put them into use.

SWINGING PILLAR is FOUND
Hunters Uncover Phenomenon in
Green Mountain, Near Canon
City, Col.

Canon City, Colo.-Gently swaying
to and fro, huge granite monolith
forming unique natural monument
has been discovered on Green noun
tain, several miles north of this city.
It is believed to be the only "swinging
monument in the ~w6}ffffsd.
The shaft is more than 100 feet
high, and in the course of many years
has become free from all surrounding
earth formation, except at the base,
which is about - feet wide. In the
center, the granite column tapers off
to width at the summit practically
the same as at the base.
Lee Hughitt, water commissioner of
Canon City, and "A. V. Hodgin, Ere
mont county commissioner, came
across the phenomenon recently while
on hunting trip.
They report that the entire shaft
moves, probably from two to three
feet at the apex, and the swinging is
constant under the pressure of light
winds. The base Of the shaft, they
said, rests in a small hollow about
three feet in depth and the contiguous
granite formation has been entirely
disconnected.

SAYS LAWSUITS ARE CHEAP
New York Judge Denies Charge That
Poor Do Not Receive
Justice.

New York.-The assertion that the
poor man does not receive justice in
court, made recently in report Of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment Of Teaching, was contradicted
by Judge Frederick e. Crane of the
court Of appeals. Speaking before the
women members of the Kings County
Republican club, he declared that "the
chief litigation in our courts is today
conducted by the poor, or persons of
moderate means, and at no time and
in no country have the rights and
remedies Of the law been so easily
procured"
Nowhere in the world is litigation
so cheap or redress for wrong so read
lily afforded to the poor" Judge Crane
said. "Any law office Of standing can
furnish instances of litigation conduct
ed without charge for services rem
dered because of the condition of the
partieS.''

81: PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS MIMI SATURDAY: MARCH
ALASKA OFFERS PULP
Forests Could Relieve Shortage,
Says Governor Riggs.
Billions Of Feet Of Paper Wood Avail.
able for Manufacture into
NeWsprint,

Seattle.-Alaska wants to throw
open her millions Of acres Of national
forests so that the billions of feet of
paper wood Of the northland can help
relieve the pulp and newsprint famine,
Gov. Thomas Riggs. Jr, Of Alaska de-
c1ared here recently.
Governor Riggs was here on his way
from Juneau, capital of Alaska, to
Washington, where he expected to help
press pending legislation intended to
remove restrictionsaand allow pulp
manufacturers to gUlnto the Tongass
and Chugach reservations, the north
ern territory's two great reserves.
Pulp and paper men are anxious to
go to Alaska and establish mills as
great as these operated in British
Columbia not far south of the Alaska
boundary line, the governor asserted.
Under the present laws the pulp max
ers cannot enter the reservations with
any certainty that they will be allowed
to stay.
Alaska's great forests stretch over
approximately 34,000 square miles, an
area nearly equal in size to the state
of Indiana, according to estimates
made by government. officials.
Several hundred million feet of good
pulp wood, including western yellow
pine, hemlock, Sitka spruce, white fir
and lodgepole pine, are on the forest
reserves alone.
The Tongass reserve, in southeast
ern Alaska, is especially adapted to
the manufacture Of pulp and paper,
forestry officials have reported. There
is plenty of water power, ocean hor-
bOrs open the year around, timber
skirting the water and weather sim
liar to that Of the Puget sound.
The governor intends to ask Wash
ington to restore the reserves to the
national domain or to open them to
the pulp industry.

Bangor, Me.-The rate at which Ca,

proves that enforcement Of the federal
prohibition law hasn't got into it's
stride as yet, for never in all the his

whisky Of all grades and oceans of
pure grain alcohol are flowing over the
border at hundred places, and that at
four principal points the alcoholic in
vasion amounts to flood. These four
points are Van Buren,, opposite the
New Brunswick town of St. Leonards,
on the st. John river; Fort Kent, which
has easy access to the Canadian village
of Clare via a suspension footbridge !;

that, as the revenue men themselves

shut out the flood.
There is so much more money to be

Price Of Canadian Whisky
Canadian whiskies that can be bought
at So a "short quart" on the New
Brunswick side of the line sell in
Aroostook county at Sc and in Bangor
at SO, while genuine Scotch is 81 in
New Brunswick, So in Aroostook and
$12 to SIS in Bangor. Pure grain alco-
hol, to be had in New Brunswick at 81
a quart, is ''split" with water on this
side Of the line, so that every quart
yields about SIG. With the addition of
a little prune juice and burnt sugar,
this alcohol is transformed into "Amer-
lean rye" supposed to have been
brought in from Boston or New York
'before the lid went on.''
Whatever the outcome of the war on
"booze,'' the enforcement Of the law
will be hardest in Maine, both on &C.

seventy years experience that the peo-
pie here have had in devising ways and
