ESKIM0S CLEANLY IN HABITS
Missionary Puts Quietus on Story
Which Has Been In Circulation
Many Years.

The "long standing libel that the rs
kimo objects TO soap deserves to be
corrected In the interests of truth ac-
ccrdng to reports from Rev. William
A. Thomas Episcopal missionary
among the Tlgaras at Point Hope,
Alaska Point Hope is about 300 miles
north Of the Arctic circle Mr.. Thomas
md his wife are the only white resi-.
de1ts Of the settlement.
"The Eskimo must keep clean to
stand the rigors of the climate" Rev
erend Thomas says "1he application
of anything that might close up the
pores Of the skin and prevent the free
circulation of the blood is the quick
est way 70 have the face frozen II
the Eskimo used seal oil or whale oil
or any Of the other lotions which he
is charged with preferring to soap, he
couldn't stand the bitter cold Of the
Arctic climate.
AS a matter Of fact. the Eskimo
uses n whole lot Of soap, Also, like
the red indian, they pun the hair from
<helF Ioces by the roots that their
fees may be kept cleaa.
' II am speaking Of the Eskiuo az
home, in his native igloo or hut It's
Ieloo Is not necessarily tie unclean

depicted The snow Igloo Is tenn

ties Is a neat, compact affair"

PIANO TUNING.

Every piano, whether Grand, Upright
or player, should be thoroughly tuned
twice each year.
Regular tuning of piano causes 1t
to remain in tune much longer than
irregular or occasional tuning.
Having piano tuned regularly often
adds years to its life.
A piano wears better, lasts longer
and gives more satisfaction and pleas
ure if always in tune.
A piano student should always play
upon a piano that is in tune and never
be permitted to play upon one that is
out of tune.
No one cares to preform, or listen to
a performance, upon a piano that is
out of tune, no matter how beautiful
or expensive it may be.
A new and high priced piano that is
out of tune is no better as musical
instrument than the cheapest 'thump
box.
1t is highly injurious to any piano to
permit it to get out of tune and stay
So When a piano has been a long
time out of tune it is very difficult to
get it into fit condition to play upon.
A piano out of tune is generally
below pitch and musicians dread a
piano ''off pitch. Don't let them
dread yours. Have it tuned and tell
the tuner to put it ''to pitch. =

Gently received voluntary payments of
three good sized accounts all of which
were long outlawed An honest debt
is never honestly outlawed, though for
some strange reason laws have been
enacted which legally makes it possible
for person to evade payment Of q
debt. There are many individuals who
realize chat the barriers erected by
law do not rightfully relieve them of
responsibility of paying the bills which
confidence made it possible to incur.
There isn't a business man in our own
city who hash a lot of accounts which
are legally outIawed, and every one of
them would be equally as surprised as
the Dodgeville clothing man TO receive
payment.

Incident to disprove the general be-
lief that artists are temperamental,
dissipated creatures who thrive on the

fore prohibition Mr.. Heming was in
New York to invite American artists
to exhibit in the Canadian national ex-
hibit in Toronto. Gardner Symons, the
we'll known American artist, invited
Heming and Frederick Waugh, an
other leading artist, to dinner at the
National Arts club. Lets 60 down

Symons. II never take anything"
said Heming. Neither do l." said
Waugh. Symons laughed. That's
funny" he said. Neither do l, but
anyway we'll have some cigars" II
don't smoke" said Waugh. And l
don't smoke" said Heming. "Well. this
Is great joke" said Symons. II

fellows would at least take cigar.

In your issue Of January 10 appears
a letter from Mr.. T.. NJ. Merritt (the
"Mr." by courtesy only do, not
know!) to certain statements of which
/ wish to call the attention OF your
readers. To quote one sentence: II
have not been especially anxious to
make friends here. but am living in
the thought of getting away as soon
as possible" would like to remind
this critic that wherever we go we are
most apt to notice the things we have
been prepared to expect, and more,
that we are almost sure to receive, in
proportion, as we are willing to give.
Il. NJ. Merritt came to Philadelphia
prejudiced and self confessedly disin-
clined to give-what could he expect
to receive? And regarding further
statement in his letter, there are in
every city in the world two classes OF
npople-those u ore cnnohle of de-
.1Ing pi.Lsur- ..u from
visits to their. art .:!.erIes ana other
centers Of cultvre, and those who are
not, and, consequently, do not go. I
strongly suspect that either Z. NJ.
Merritt's duties or his inclinations, or
perhaps both. have established his as
sociations with the latter class in
Philadelphia. J. r. T.
