Dry. Hacking Cough

| have a iittle- girl who coughs
considerably, a dry. hacking cough.
l have been told the tonsils are the
cause. Is there anything which can
be done or any gargle to use to re-
duce them without having them re-
moved?
While the cough may be due to
some condition OF the tonsils or the
throat 1t might also be due to some
other and serious cause. For
this reason / would advise you to
have your daughter carefully exam
ined by a competent physician in
order to see whether she has any
thing the matter with her lungs.
You should also keep careful
watch over the child's general con-
dition and weigh her at least once
q week, keeping a record of these
weights for comparison to see
whether or not she Is gaining or
losing in weight or al a standstill.
II she is losing weight or not
gaining in weight satisfactorily her
cough may be due to something
more serious than an infiamed tom
sill.

Child Malnutrition

/ have three children, the hrst
and the third are healthy. but the
second child is very much under
weight. She is five and one-half
years old and weighs 81 pounds,
dressed. I have great trouble in
making her eat. She seems strong,
yet she is thin. Is there anything
that will help her.
The question of food Is not the
only thing to consider. You must
observe certain hygienic rules, such
as having this child go to bed at a
reasonably early hour. not later than
$3.50 al night. Keep the bedroom
windows open.
Care must be observed to correct
constipation, to which end the child
must be taught to go to the toilet at
a regular hour each day.
She should take from a pint to a
quart of milk a day.
1t would be advisable to- have her
lie down for an hour after the noon
meal. Bundle her up well. and let
her he down in a sunny room with

 Many who represent capital known to have arranged to here this direct the open ing to seek acquisition of mineral properties. Others are coming for general reconnaissance of the field, while tourists, traders and prospectors will make up busy aggregate
 Klondike is good healthy business basis as well as having outlook in connection with mining which exceeds the prospects of any year since the first boom
 The general tourist traffic into the Klondike will bring many transient travellers who will become ac- quainted with this region and they will carry out a tale favorable to the Northland. The Mayo country alone will be a theme to hold the attention in any realm.
 Yukoners will do well to prepare to receive and supply the visitors with data, and to that those coming in search of opportunities to help open the country receive every encouragement and assistance
 Within two three weeks the ice will break and a few days later the river will be open from Whitehorse. Then the busy will be on.

Japan woud like to dominate considerable this side of the world What she really dominates here in Canada and Aus tralia is for the white nations to determine The intensity of the situation far America is con cerned is indicated n the fact that II states have organzed to work jointly to bar Japanese immigration These states California, Arizona Washington Ida ho, Utah, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas Oklahoma and Colorado.
 At the head of this organization in the executive sense is Senator Hiram w. Johnson, who in himself IS quite capable of giving Japan troublesome moments. and who, with full hand, with II states behind him, very probably could and would settle the whole Japanese question,
 But the matter is not for levty. There are certain cold facts which speak for themselves and these facts justify the attitude the white popula tons of the states affected by Japanese peaceful az gresson.',

 It is stated that the Japanese today control one eighth of all the rich irrigrated lands California and that they will not and cannot make American citizens
 According the same authority under the so- called gentlemens there has been no sus- pension or restriction of immigration But we have uone the extraordinary thing of passing to Japan one of sovereign rights of determining who and how many may come in The agreement should be abrogated Why should we longer surrender a su- preme prerogative of this character which is to our manifest detriment and ultimately will be our undong?"
