HEARING WILL
 BE HELD HERE L ON FISHERIES
Matter of Fishing at Mouth of Streams Be Discussed
 on October 19.

A hearing, important to all people engaged in the fishing business in this section of Alaska, in as much as it will ask for the discussion of the seine fishing at the mouth of sal , mon streams in Alaskan waters east of the longitude of Cape Spencer, is to be held at the City Hall in this city. starting at 10 o'clock in the morning of October l9. A similar November 15.
 At the present time, except at cer- tain streams, fishing with purse seines and drift gill nets is allowed within 200 yards of the mouths of salmon streams in Southeastern Al aska. Whether this fishing is or is not detrimental to the preservation of the Alaska salmon supply has as yet not been determined and free discussion will .be asked for on the matter at the hearing.
 Fishermen have contended in the past that it was necessary to fish close to the mouths of Salmon streams with the gear specified in order to catch fish as the salmon did not school before that time. lOther gear is not allowed within 800 yards of the mouths of salmon streams.
 E. M. Ball, officer in charge of the ies has asked that the matter be given wide publicity so that all in sterested parties may have an oppor itunty to express their opinions.
 Present Rules
 The regulations in force at the and regulations for the protection of the fisheries of Alaska are as fol lows as pertaining to longitude east of Cape Spencer:
 All fishing is prohibited in all salmon streams and their tributaries and lakes.
 2-All fishing, except with purse seines and drift gill nets, is prohibit ed within 300 yards of the mouths of all salmon streams.
 3-All fishing with purse seines and drift gill nets is prohibited with in 200 yards of the mouths of all salmon streams and all fishing with purse seines and drift gill nets as well as with all other apparatus is prohibited within 800 yards of the mouths of the Chilkat River, Chilkoot River, Anan Creek. Hetta Creek, Sockeye Creek and Naha stream

tine from the seaweed commonly
known as Irish moss. This gelatine
is widely used in food and has much
more g~elatiniZing power than the
animal gelatine. This Irish moss
gelatine, or Carrageenin, as it is
callt in commerce, has many other
uses, and it's manufacture might be
extended. 1t is used in making
water paints, shoe polishes. and as
sizing for paper, cloth and thread.
1t is used in shaving and other soaps
because of the fine velvety lather 1t
produces. 1t is used as a clarifying
agent in making oil and beer. Band
oline, a perfumed muCilage made
from Irish moss, is used to make
unruly hair and mustaches behave.
The substance also has medical
value.
The chief source of supply for
Irish moss is the region around Scit-
uate, Mass, where about thirty men
were recently engaged in collecting
it. There are half a dozen other
places in Massachusetts, in New
Hampshire and in New York where
the moss is collected and prepared
for market. Doubtless there are
many other places where 1t might
be obtained. Its preparation is very
simple. 1t is merely washed in sea
y alter and dried on the beach until
bleached. 1t is then packed in bar
rels and Sold. 1t brought about ten
cents a pound in 1920. The Bureau
of Fisheries can supply further de-
tails of methods and localities to any
one interested.

and Ceylon.
That half million could just as
well stay at home. Moreover, be-
sides producing all we need, we
might ourselves export this sub
stance, and we might greatly extend
the domestic uses of it, especially
its use as a food. For the Bureau
of Fisheries that there
are a dozen or more seaweeds in the
waters of the Pacific coast which
contain agar-agar. Four of these
have been studied in detail and are
pronounced as good as or better
than seaweeds used for the same
purpose in the Orient. OF course,
cost of production is a factor to be
considered, but there is no reason
to believe that we could not produce
the substance more cheaply than we
can import it. The methods of re-
pairing agar-agar from these sea-
weeds are known in detail to the
Bureau of Fisheries, and can be OBJ
tanned by anyone interested. They
do not involve an expensive plant or
equipment. Rakes, kettles and wood
en- tray seem to be about the only
things necessary. The product must
be fr/en. and where temperatures
do not go low enough to do this out
of-doors, some form of artificial re-
~frigeration would have to be en-
ployed.
A Valuable Weed
This is only one of several uses to
which seaweeds may be put. There
is already in this country a small

in drinking water. Fortunately
most cities are protected by careful,
regular inspection.
Greater responsibility rests upon
the individual in the rural commu-
mites where there is no water de-
partment. The supply should be
tested several times a year and if
there is thought to be any danger
it should be treated in the following
manner: Make a solution by dissolv-
ing Is grains OF pure. fresh chlorina-
ted lime in a quart of water. Put
one teaspoonful of this solution into
each quart of drinking water. let
it stand for Is minutes before drink
ing.
This is an excellent plan to follow
on camping trips where there is the
slightest danger, for the water is
then absolutely safe as far as ty-
phoid and similar infections are
concerned.
When n is doubtful as to the
purity of his drinking water or as
to his immunity against the disease
it is well to be on the safe side by
being v~accinated.

THE ECONOMICAL BARBER
BY DR.. w. Z. BARTON

Of BARRIERS there are as many
kinds as there are of men in other
vocations. Fol even yet are there a
very few who can trim a beard, and
there be some who know how to
strop a razor.
But there are more who only
know how to use the electrick clip
pers, and to ask If thou hast with
thee the price of a tonick, and to re-
mind thee that thine hair groweth a
little thin on top, and who expect a
tip in addition to the price of the
service they render.
Now there was once a barber who
was very economical in his expend-
iture of labor in the stropping of
his razor. For he counted that
whatever energy he saved in that
way he could devote to informing
and entertaining conversation.
And his customers suffered, but
they were helpless. For he stood
firmly upon both feet.
Now there came unto him a man
who had been experimenting with
the eighteenth amendment. And he
had not shaver for four days. And
his beard was hard, but his skin
was tender.
And the razor of the barber upon
that day would have borne more
labor than usual, but he spent not
that labor upon it. But he used his
razor as if it had been a cross-cut

Typhoid fever is another disease
that can be prevented by vaccina-
ton.
1t is a serious infectious disease
that lasts from four to eight weeks
or longer. There are often serious
complications such as ulcers, hemor-
rhages or p~erforation of the bowel.
1t is fatal in about one out of ten
cases.
Yet it can be prevented by good
sanitation, personal cleanliness and
by vaccination.
Typhoid germs cannot live outside
the body except as they are kept
moist i'm their protective covering of
mucus which surrounds them as
they leave the body. 1t is of the
highest importance, therefore, that
all mouth and nose discharges from
a typhoid patient be burned and
that other waste matter from the
body be kept for half an hour in a
solution of carbolic acid or chori-
mated lime before being emptied.
Especial care is needed when. the
sewer flows into the same body of
water from which the water supply
is taken.
People who have had a typhoid
attack are almost certain to be car
riers'' for years to come. They
should never feel free from spread
ing the disease, and should take
every precaution to safeguard
others.

a gypsy band encamped on River

Other cities no doubt are paying
their vicariouS tribute to Vagabond-

Despite the rumors that Juan

for the purpose of uniting them,
one wonders whether such a union
can ever be accomplished in view
of the history and characteristics

HOW TO REVIVE WORLD
CIRCLE OF TRADE

ing in the years Immediately pre-
ceding.
The throwing back on our domes-
tic markets of a great volume of
food products broke the prices of
foods also very violently.
With the break in price of foods
and raw materials, the buying power
of the producers OF foods and raw
| materials was so greatly curtailed
ing prices anything like the volume
of manufactured goods which even
the reduced manufacturing capacity
of the world was turning out, and
there came a crisis for the manufac-
turer also.
Cause of Trouble
The trouble was not, however,
overproduction. The world is pro-
ducing far less than 1t produced be-
fore the war in the aggregate. The
trouble is m~aladjustment due to E,u-
ropes withdrawal from her position
as the worlds great producer of
manufactures and as the worlds
great market for foods and raw ma
terials.
A really fundamental solution of
the present business problems,
therefore, nus involve aiding Eu-
rope to get back upon her feet and
to resume her place as the great
manufacturing center.
Real Remedy
There are many American manu-
facturers who are apprehensive OF
European competition, and notably
of German competition. They are
urging that high tariff barriers be
erected to prevent the influx of for
eign goods.
But the most welcome thing that
could come about, the thing that
would promise most for a real re-
vival, would be a real and vigorous
increase in imports to the United
States of European manufactures.
1t would start the circle of trade
| going again.

enough enterprise to go and get II.
This submarine treasure is not in
the gold and bullion of lost Spanish
galleons. 1t is in the form of sea-
weed.
At least seaweed is m of the
most abundant and easily accessible
forms of it. There is much untouch-
ed wealth in the ocean. The seas OF
the world are its great unexpected
natural Men have taken
fish out of them, almost exhausting
the more easily obtained supplies in
some cases, and that is all. The
saying is literally true that there are
better fish in the sea than ever were
caught. And besides fish, there Is
wealth in hundreds of other things.
The people of the United States
have been especially backward ABOUT
exploiting the wealth of their coast
al waters. They waste fish which
| other countries consider d~elicacies.
They import at great expense sea
products that are daily washed up
on their own beaches.
The Bureau of Fisheries from
time to time calls attention to some

Thus it has just completed an inves-
tigation of certain seaweeds from
which forms of gelatine are extract
ed. 1t has been discovered that we
are importing from the Orient pro-
ducts which we could make at home
to our profit. And no large invest
ment is required either. Here is a
chance for that enterprise, which is
our national boast, to show itself.
A Wasted Resource
Take the case of a~gar-agar. Agar
| agar, if you never heard of it, is the
commercial name applied to a dried
gelatine (which is extracted from
certain red algae that grow IN
coastal waters. 1t has many uses.
Its most important one in this coun-
try is that of a culture medium In
which to produce certain bacteria
for purposes of incubation. Nearly
all hospitals and laboratories nave
to have it. 1t has also been used
with success as a remedy for chronic
| constipation. In the Orient it is
highly esteemed as a food, but
Americans have not learned to eat
it much.

nearly half a million dollars. 1t

saw.
And by the time the barber had
finished his task, his customer was
thoroughly sober.
And the customer looked at his
ACE in the glass, and it resembled
a war map.
And he spake unto the barber,
saying, Thou hast deprived me of a
considerable part of the legitimate
result of my jag, and the method of
thy sobering-up process is all n
with that of the painless dentists.
Behold, 1t cost me thirty-five dol
lars to acquire that jag, and only
thirty-five cents to recover from IT;
and that is cheap enough so far as
the money goeth. But ! will advise
thee for thine own good, be not 80
economical of the labor which thou
dost expend upon the stropping OF
thy cheese knife, nor so extrava-
| CANT in that which thou dost expend
in the subsequent process, for this
exercise is insufficient to prepare
thee for the day that shall yet surely
come to thee.
For had 1 been as sober when
thou begannest as I am at the end
ing of thy performance, then had
l taken from thee rs much blood
as 1 have lost through thy barbar-
ism.
And it would be pleasant to record
that the barber learned his lesson.
