PRESENT AND FUTURE NEEDS
 OF ALASKA.

the Sunset Magazine is a timely ana interesting digest on subject of vital interest to all real Alaskans. The Su- set Magazine is typical western mag a.;ne and the men affiliated with it know the things that the West and Alaska need.
 Alaska has been the stepchild of the nation. It has given gold, copper, cod halibut, seal and salmon with lavish hand, but until the construction of the Alaskan railroad it received nothing in return. Containing immense depos- its of high-grade coal Alaska was yet compelled to import it's fuel from Washington and Australia because the Federal Government fearing a re petion of the process through which the nation lost it's timber and minera wealth kept all of Alaska's pubicit! weauth kept all of Alaska's publicl! owned natural resources under locA and key for fourteen years. This lock ing up held back Alaska's development it was bitterly and justly resented b! the Alaskans, yet it accomplished it. purpose. Alaska resources today art impaired, unmonopolized and avail, able for wise, farsighted development
 Take the Pribiloff Island seal heard for instance. Unregulated and unsupei viseo, this heard dwindled from two million head to barely hundred thous a,d in thirty years. For five years il has been locked up, now it exceed. two hundred thousand and is still ol the increase. Salmon, on the contrar; administered loosely and what Alas kans would call literally, is threatened to j,,n the buffalo and the passenger pig.-.n unles early and drastic meas tires gre taken n regulate fishing ant to increase the number of hatcheries
 The next coagr ss will again have before it the Curry bill creating al Alaskan development board to have complete change of Alaskan resour. ccs. Nobody in the Far West wants to hold back Alaskan growth; every. bsd, realizes that the division of au. thority among twenty different, bu- rcaus of five or six governmental de psrtnents whose busy heads are five thousand miles from Alaska is not the proper system of administration, yer it IS cues tionable whether the pro visions of the Curry bill limiting the membership on the board to actual residents of Alaska is entirely wise snd justified.
 Local men are prone to forget the future and act only on present needs The millions of acres of unproductiv. barren stomp lands round the Great Lakes in the South and in the Grea, Vest are eloquent witnesses to the fol ly of blind local interest that sacrifices the wealth of the next generation fol today's profits. Alaska must and shall have a resident board, but two tf five of ,Le members should be selected from residents ot the States proper that the future may be safeguarded.

was much opposition, but happily the

why Is Sugar Bad for the Teethi

Like many other beliefs which are
only half-truths,t the feeling that sugar
is bad for the teeth and that it leads
to premature decay Is true only In
certain cases--principally those where
the teeth have not been properly cared
for or the mouth is not well cleansed.
But normal amount OF sugar Is not
only not injurious to teeth that are
we'll kept but essential to the system
as whole.
The danger Of sugar in connection
with the teeth themselves lies in the
fact that it is transformed by the ac-
ton of the saliva into acid which If
present in sufficient quantities, has
an injurious effect upon the enamel of
the teeth, eating this away and thus
giving rise to tiny cracks and crevices
into which the more dangerous germs
of decay make their way. But, if the
teeth are cleansed regularly at least
twice a day-and preferably after each
meal-this acid does not remain in
place long enough to do any harm
and the sugar will have no effect upon
the teeth whatever. Parents. therefore
who make a practice of denying chill
dren sweets of all kinds on the ground
that sit is bad for their teeth should
remember that certain amount of
hsugar is as necessary to growth and
nutrition as starch or salt and that
the danger lies, not in the sugar, but
in the failure properly to cleanse the
mouth.
