SOME OF LIES COMEDIES
Picked at Random From Recorded
Doings of theNvery Newly
Married.

Here's to the very newly married.
1t was winter and the young husband
complained bitterly of "beastly" pain
In his back; iumbago, pleurisy; "Heav-
en- knows what |" he gloomed to his
terrified spouse. And talked largely
of more life insurance. Terrified into
action she recalled her mothers rem
edy, for such mysterious aches and
pains, says a New York Sun and
Globe writer.
A boiling hot bath and-wasn't II

therefore drew the bath, arranged the
towels and seeking in the kitchenette-
equipped for her while on her recent
wedding trip by her feminine relatives
she discovered the borax In large
bag. Uncertain of the quantity she
flung the contents into the tub and or
dered her husband to soak. He did,
from crown to toe.
After which there were scenes. The
borax was starch.
And then there was the bride who
on cruise with her groom in forty
four sailing sloop, In the midst of a
really terrific storm when the crewless
captain and owner was struggling with
sheets and centerboard, called loudly
from the cabin, "We shall capsize !"
He groaned but fed to her rescue, and
found her sitting peacefully on rock
ing camp stool. She smiled sweetly
when he entered.

And ABOUT the bride whose husband
demanded sausage meat-the kind one
fries, you know, the back home Sort
served in little sizzling cakes? How
about her when she went to her butch
er and, learning that no sausage meat
was to be had at the moment, bought
with gravity and hard earned lucre
dozen or SO small fat sausages and or
dered the patient butcher to strip off
the skins and dig forth the succulent
innards. How about her? How about
them all, bless them?

Buried Five Minutes. and Lives.

Buried alive by landslide for
about five minutes, laborer of Mitch
ell, S. D., though severely bruised and
injured, lives to tell the tale. He was
working in an eight-foot ditch in which
water mains are being laid, when a
landslide occurred In which he was
caught. He called for help as the soft
gravel pinned him down, but it was
five minutes before he could be dug
out. The gravel caught and pinned
him in an >upright position and the
dirt was piled three feet above his
head. The landslide broke his Shout
der, fractured his pelvis and dislocated
his right hip, and his fellow labOrers.
in digging him out, made numerous
bruises and wounds on his head, face
and body with their sharp shovels.

RED CROSS ADVANCING
IN HEALTH CAMP AIGN
Extends Service to New Fields
and Brings Healing Hope to
Remote Sections.

"The supreme opportunity for lead
ership" for the American Red Cross is
Its health service. Thus committee
made up of prominent physicians, san
itarians and public health experts.
after months of exhaustive study, re-
ported and urged that not only should
the Red Cross continue its present
service, but should undertake q
comprehensive educational campaign
along public health lines. The an
nual report of the American Red
Cross, just issued, discloses that It
has grasped this opportunity in the
fields of public health nursing, in
struction in home hygiene and care OF
the sick, nutrition work, first aid to
the injured and in water life-saving.
Health service is fundamentally,
historically and practically an impor-
tant function of the Red Cross. and
each year marks its extension into
new fields and along broader lines. In
the Red Cross Nursing Service there
are enrolled nearly 10000 nurses, TO-
900 of whom served during the World
War. The past year Red Cross nurses
were assigned to duty in isolated
sections of Alaska and North Caro-
lima and to work among the fisher
men of Penobscot Bay, Me.
The Public Health Nursing Service,
inaugurated by the American Red
Cross in 1912, which operates chiefly
L.. Cd hU nth op
public health agencies, has 1,038 Red
Cross nurses working under the d.
rection of Chapters. This work has
won SO high regard that many Of
the nurses are taken over by the local
authorities to maintain health services
for their communities. Instruction in
Home Hygiene and Care Of the Sick
Is noting steady advance. Since
1914 certificates of proficiency have
been given 304,427 women who com
pleted the Red Cross course. In the
last year 26,595 certificates were
awarded and 65,901 students were un-
der the instruction of 1854 Red Cross
nurses.
The benefits derivede from meals
balanced to meet each persons pecul-
lar needs is winning widespread rec
ognition through the work Of the Red
Cross Nutrition Service, particularly
in the schools. During the school
year 1858 carried on regular instruc-
ton in nutrition, reached more than
100000 children and adults. More
than $3.50 volunteers assisted in this
work. Throughout the country 1928
health meetings were held under Red
Cross auspices, attended by approx
mately 254.500 persons.

Annual Summons to
Red Cross Banner
On Armistice Day

Americas great humanitarian effort
in behalf Of stricken Japan early in
September gave the answer to the
question, what is there for the Red
Cross to do in time of peace?" What
the American Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas-
ter came without warning showed
that 1t was ready on the instant with
countrywide team work to carry out
quickly and effectively the request Of
the President to lead the national eff
fort for the relief of the many thou
sands Of sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed is
a charter duty Of the Red Cross.
Without membership enrolled in ev-
cry community in the land this readi-
ness would be impossible. That is
why your dollar membership is most
important.
1t is imperative that the structure
of the American Red Cross be made
up of millions of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day. November II.
and closing with Thanksgiving Day,
November rs, the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends Of the
earth and to the ships sailing the
seven seas. The $500 Red Cross
Chapters in the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling
members during this period imbued
with renewed enthusiasm due to the
recent revival of effort when the call
came from Japan.

Beavers Do Much Damage.

Depredatiops of beavers in the Ad-
irondacks region Of New York have
made necessary law providing that
the conservation commission be au-
thorized to regulate the taking of
beaver. in traps only, between March
] and March 81. At one time the
beaver was extinct in New York. A
few were obtained and since then
these forest rodents have multiplied
so rapidly and have cut down so many
trees and flooded so much territory
that they have rendered valueless
many large tracts of forest and farm
land.

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
to the ordinary cathartic
and liver pills? Our answer is,
they are easier and more pleasant
to take and their effect is so gentle
that one hardly realizes that it is
produced by medicine. Then, they
not only move the bowels but inn
prove the appetite and strengthen
the digestion.

WORK AT NEW COAL MINE
 MAKING RAPID PROGRESS

The Mt. Mckinley Bituminous Coal Corporation, which is composed entirely of Nenana businessmen, is making rapid headway with the work of development on its holdings at Mile 341. Superintendent Terry McGowan, who is in charge of the work, now has a force of fifteen men engaged in putting sha mine on a producng basis and improve ments are taking form rapidly.
 After having thoroughly prospect ed the coal seams on the property, work is now being concentrated on a 7-foot seam of high srsie cCal, which is said to compare very fa- vorably with the famous Pocahontas coal of Pennsylvania. A working tunnel 9x11 feet is being driven in to the hill and a considerable a. mount of coal already has been blocked out, ready for the con- nencement of active mining opera tions during the latter part of the summer.
 The company has erected two per manent bunkhouses at the mine, there is a mess house, office, barn and blacksmith shop and work is now in progress on a bath house and change room for the miners. J. N. Smith, who conducted laun- dry at Healy for some time, is building a hotel at Mile 341, in an- ticipation of much acticity at that point, incident to the ope .atl3n of the mine on a large scale, and will, in addition, operate a laundry for the convenience of mine employees and others in that locality.

COAST AVIATOR PLANNING
 INTERIOR AERIAL SERVICE

Aviator Roy Jones, who has been operating a seaplane in Southeast ern Alaska during the last year, is planning the establishment of an aerial service between the coast and Interior Alaska, according to a com munication received by the local igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska. The plan is to operate a passenger car rying plane between Valdez and Nenana and Fairbanks, and he also proposes to make special flights for which he will make a charge of from s1O to $50 per passenger, ac- cording to the distance travelled.
 The matter was first taken up with the Pioneers in Valdez and referred by the coast igloo to the local organization and the Pioneers Ol rdlEDdHhS Wlln NleW 10 SecuT- ing the cooperation of the Interior Igloos. The aviator wants S1,000 to put his plans in operation and offers to repay the amount advanced from receipts from flights in the various towns.
 The proposition was considered at meeting of the local Pioneers last night, and referred to a com mittee for action, it being understood that the local igloo, while ready to give it's moral support to the in auguration of the proposed service, would not obligate itself in any way to the financing of the enter prize.
 Aviator Jones states that he will be ready to start for the Interior during the latter part of July.
