EXPECT TO
 COMPLETE
 BIG ROAD

Juneau, Alaska, Nov. S--Comp1e- ton by the end of this year of track laying on the railroad the United States government is building in Alaska was predicted by Governor Scott c. Bone on his return here re- gently from an inspection trip over a portion of the line. As there are bridges yet to be built, through trains will not be operated for some time.
 The railroad is to cross the Alaska Mountains and connect Seward and Anch orage, on the seacoast, with Nenana and Fairbanks, towns on the territory's interior river system. Governor Bone went to the lend of steep on the southern division of the road and then walked for a distance over the route to be followed. At that time the lend of steeI' was at Mile 3O6 and only 40 miles separated the "ocean end" from the sections of track being laid at the rate of one and one-third miles a day.
 Unless something unexpected and intervenes or whether of unusual severity interferes. the rails will be connected, linking coastal Alaska to the interior by the end of the year." the governor said.
 Governor Bone praised the work of the Alaska Engineering Commits sion, which is building the road, and it's chairman, Colonel Frederick MearS.

 ADOPTING CHILDREN.


 ' One word more as to the clergy man | wrote about yesterday. I've been to his church. and as soon as I can I'm going again. and after the service, I'm going to stay around un- til l can find an usher to introduce me; and then I'm going to tell him, right to his face CT don't care how big he is) how much good it is doing me to shake hands with a realman-- meaining him.
 As to adopting children = in any event, one is taking considerable chances. Children whose parents had insanity, alcoholism, or blood di- sease" are very apt to be difficult to bring up, and may give the foster parents much sadness and little joy. Especially must this be said as to the adopt the infant of tuberculosis parents although such children may grow very healthy. And you must consider the family history two or and mother may appear perfectly healthy, but how about the grand parents? Sometimes a bad trait skips a generation this is called atavism.
 Apart from such consideration, one has to take chances as to choosing a child for adoption. And, Gentle Reader. please don't think me rude if state that the adCptors do all the choosing -the baby gets no choice. In New York state people desiring to adopt child may have it to keep for one year; then if they want to and they have satisfied the authorities that they have done well by the child, 1t may become their foster child for life.
 I receive most pathetic letters from childless couples-on this subject - couples who in their early married life preferred mot to be bothered with children for few years" have violated the laws of God Cor of Ma ture as you choose) and have, when it has pleased them to have children. found that they could not and are saddened at the prospect of Loneliness in their latter years. To them I must answer that with the reservations stated, adoptions turn out fairly well, I should say so in eight cases out of ten. The dear gentlewoman in the following instance took all the chances in the lottery and gathered in all the good results that could be expected.
 Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, who never married, and who desired to adopt a child. visited an asylum to this end. looked them all over very carefully, and finally selected the most unprom- ising, and an apparently vicious little girl. explaining her choice thus, ''l will take this one because I think she needs me the most"
 And it would make your eyes we'll up to read how uperafoundantly she was repaid with the undying affection and devotion of the "outcast," who grew up into splendid and most ser vfcealble womanhood under the fos- tertng care of that beloved physi- cian.''

THE POISON GAS PISTOL

The good citizens of Paris seem to have taken the initiative in the war on criminals, which must be fought in or der to suppress the tidal wave of crime that has swept almost all countries since the termination of hostilities and the disbandment of large armies. It has remained for some ingenious Frenchman to produce liquid poison gas pistol
 This little instrument of protection for the law abiding citizen has been inspired by the war. It has the ad vantage of putting an adversary hors de combat immediately, but without evil effects of any kind. The gun con- tains liquid poisonous gas which, if it strikes the bandit, puts him to sleep at once. Again. if it strikes the bandit in the eyes if blinds him for several days.
 The handle of the gun contains the | liquid poison which is compressed with the aid of bicycle pump at the lower end of the handle. All one has to do is to point the gun at the target at dis tance of not more than 10 feet and press the trigger. which releases a thin stream which is accurate at that range. The liquid, emitting poisonous gases. disarms the bandit.-Scientific Amer Nican.

 Nervousness
 e. I have two children a year apart, and since the last one was born I don't feel well. l had several doctors and uervc specialists and they said there is nothing wrong with me but nervous ness. My back pains me all the time. and I can't work much as I get tired easily and am bothered with indiges- ton. Do you think that there is any thing that can help me?
 Since several doctors and nerve specialists have said there is nothing wrong with you but nervousness. there is probably no reason why you cannot be restored to health. ] presume these prys-cians meant that you had no or ganic disease. and that your nervous ness consisted in what Is known med ically as neurasthenia or nerve weak ness. This requires treatment just as any other condition of m health. and ' should advise you to put yourself under the care of one Of thc nerve specialists you have consulted You must follow faithfully not only the letter but Inc spirit of his instructions A hopeful outlook and earnest spirit of c0-opcra- tion will do much to hasten your ira- u1 ovcmeut

MANS LAND

Backward fellows who can't recon cile themselves to the new political order of equal suffrage may find some conaolation in the thought that Anaer- lea is the only continent not named after a woman.
 Until the discovery or continental America by Amerieus Vespucius all the honors in the christening of continents had gone Co woman. Wherefore it oc- cured to Waldseemueller a Sixteenth century geographer. to demand that mere man be given a show in the naming of the newest continent
 He was not mealy mouthed in ex- r~essing himself on the subject. Tn his book. "Cosmographic Introductio, printed in 1907. he wrote thus: T do not see why anyone should rightly ob- icct to calling it Amerigo or America . e.. land of Americus. after It's dls- covcrer a man of sagscious mind since Europe Asia and Africa are iamed after women"
 Waldseemueller's suggestion was ac- cepted by the geographers and so the land that Columbus discovered was named after another, because to his dying day Columbus himself did mol know he had found a new land, but thought he had merely blazed a new lrail to the East Indies. - Washington Herald.

Speech Defects


 Q. I have a little boy, seven years and seven months old He cannot talk very well. He says some words such as there they go,' box, sing, your. called, tumble down and some others. He does not seem to have the right control of his tongue He understands eN Nerything you say to him. I sent him to school, but the school was so crowd ed they did not take time for him and he is getting so he does not like to go.
 If your little boy Is bright mentally and has no deformity or defect of his voca; organs, I think he can be taught to talk. In some hospitals in large cities there are regular clinics for speech effects. and frequently very good results are obtained. If it is not convenient 10 take him to one Of these place him at once under training with a competent teacher of breathing and vocal gymnastics. Teachers of voice training, expression and singing are usually familiar with methods of this k.nd

Some bimbos are trying to start the war all over again by excavating the old Sunday Blue Laws to wish on the populace. The blue laws were in vogue when the only excitement on Sunday was Indian golf. That meant to tee off the scalp brokers with a gun and put 'em in the hole in par.
 But times have twisted up to these home brew days. The old blue laws now would meet with about as much approval as a benevolent fund for dcs- titute landlords. We've got a double barreled blue law now with in the in- come tax. With the blue laws hung on this village. Sunday would be
