Slender Lines.

The woman who allows herself to
become stout loses her figure. Youth
and slenderness are SO closely asso-
ciated that even tke young girl who
is stout is spoken of as mature and
is apt to be considered old long be-
fore her time.
You must not only be elastic to be
youthful, you must also be slim. Elias
ticity may be a matter Of exercise:
slimness is a matter Of exercise and
diet. You have a golden opportunity
now to improve your figure. The
whole outdoor world tempts you. Get

you alert, makes you spring suddenly

blood racing and makes you fill your
lungs with air. A hardfought game
of tennis will make you exercise
almost every muscle in your body.
In my opinion it is only excelled by
swimming as a beneficial exercise.
Tennis is not the only outdoor game.
Even If you live in the heart of the
city and cannot get any athletic ex-
ercise, you can still board a trolley,

What Can Be Done With Painted
Floorsf

Il would so love to get rid of car

following suggestions regarding their

The beautiful part about a painted

woods are close-grained, and, there
fore. do not require "fller' as some
Of the open-grained hardwoods do,
SO they are not as difficult to finish
as the hardwood floors.
After you remove the carpet from
your floor proceed as follows. First
apply coat of ground color" paint
to all holes and cracks; let this pa int
dry. then apply a regular crack filler.
There is a special crack filler now
made for filling cracks. crevices and
knot holes. and this is much more
used for the same purpose, for the
crack filler will not shrink and dry
out. Next apply a coat Of ground
color paint to the entire floor. let it
dry thoroughly. and apply a coat or

Geo. & Rice. chief mining engineer and D. A. Lyon. supervisor of expert mental stations for the United Sta,es bureau of mines. left on the North spending four weeks in the terri tory. At Anchorage MT Rice was joined by E. w. Dyer, federal mine inspector and visits made to the mines in the Matanuska coal fields, Prince William sound district and Kennecott Mir. Lyon made trip to Fairbanks reviewing the work of the bureaus experimental station there. and visiting various properties in that district.
 The object of the visit to Alaska was to get first hand information regarding the Alahka mining indus try and to coordinate the work of the federal mine inspector at An chorage, territorial mine inspector at Juneau and the bureau of mines eX- perimental station at Fairbanks.
 At conference held Tuesday morning with Governor Bone it was decided to have the above named department work in conjunction. As now planned these three departments in addition to safety and technical investigation will turinsh personal technical advice to prospectors and operators in the territory.
 Both Mir. Rice and Mir. Lyon were very much impressed with the vast resources of Alaska, especially min, ing and agricultural and expressed an opinion that they expected to see a rapid growth.
