 Fees collected, $500.
 The school work included 125 pu- pills weighed; 6 new pupils inspect ed; defects found in school chill dren: vision, 1; teeth. f. nose, 3; throat, 4. Out of these. four cases of throat defects were corrected. Charts have been prepared for the various rooms of the school, showing the weights of the children for each month, and the nurse will be assist ed by the teachers each month when the weights are recorded. Great in- terest in the weighing is being mani fested and good natured rivalry among the children Is resulting in better hours of sleep and less aver sion to nourishing food. The child who does not show a gain in weight is surprisingly quick to see why when she finds that the one who does goes to bed early and includes ce- reals in his or her milk diet. In addi- tion to the regular nursing work, Mrs. Grant gave very interesting and instructive talk on Defects of School Children" before the P.-T.A. last month.

Council Passes On Proposed
 Organic Act

There Was speelal meeting Of
 .ue Town Councli Tuesday alter
 hoon Ior the purpose oI passlus uu
 tue proposed orsanlc Act TOT South
 AiasAa, as araIteu Dy the delegates
 al the Juneau convention.
 1t VIII be rememDered that Coun- cIIman Leorge ii. Barnes was select ed by the 1own CounelI to represent
 "rangeiI at the Divisional conYen- tIon. Owing to an accident to hls boat Mr. Barnes failed to reach Ju- neau. The Council then appointed Ernest Nj. Campbell (who happened to be in Juneau at the time) to rep resent Wrangell.
 This week MT. Campbell received copy of the proposed Organic Act as drafted by the committee appoint ed for that purpose. and which was for criticism or approval. MT. Campbell turned the document over to Mayor Grant who at once called special meeting of the Town Council for the purpose of passing on the proposed Act.
 After hearing the document read the Council was agreed that 1t was we'll gotten up. Only one criticism was offered. The pro- posed Act provides that the United States Commissioners for the propos- ed new territory of South Alaska shall be appointed and serve under the same conditions as they are now serving throughout all Alaska. The Council was unanimous in it's oppo- sition to United States Commission CTS being on fee basis in criminal cases. On motion the Town Clerk was to send cablegram to Chairman Robertson, stating that the Wrangell Town Council Is unan- imous in Its opposition to the pres ent system of remuneration for U. S. and recommends that before the draft is submitted to Congress it be so amended as to stip- ulate that U. S. Commissioners shall be paid salary.

Community Nurse
 Finds Much to Do
Local Red Cross Chapter Is More Than Pleased With Service Rem dered, and Is Anxious to Continue the Work Indefinitely.

The monthly report of the Com
 munity nurse as given to the Exec
 utive Board of the Red Cross reveals
 the need of the nursing service for
 the community for as long a time as it can possibly be continued. The
 fact that thoroughly competent.
 we'll trained nurse can be sent for in case of accident or illness and that her services can be secured for a small fee which is turned into the Red Cross Chapter at the end of the month, should be a matter of pride and congratulation to every citizen. Mrs. S. D. Grant, the nurse. is paid a salary of s100 per month, $40 of which is paid from the Wran- gell Red Cross and $60 from the U. S. Bureau of Education. In other communities of Alaska, the nurse is paid$175 per month. While the local Chapters share of the salary Is small, it is in excess of the amount brought in by the Red Cross Annual Roll Call, and the nursing service cannot be continued unless people who make use of these services show their appreciation by paying the very small fee asked. It has been sug- gested that a minimum fee of 25c be asked for each visit where the nurse is called in, but no definite action on this suggestion has been taken by the Chapter. There Is no one in Wrangell who cannot af- ford to pay such a fee for visit from professional nurse in case of accident or illness, 1t Is pointed out, while manycan and should paymore. The money thus collected goes right back into the Chapter treasury to help keep up the work. Those who have had the benefit of the nursing service wonder how the people of Wrangell got along without it. and realize what loss 1t would be to the community to be deprived of it nnuy

 HISPLATFORM

. TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 5. - In his message to the Kansas legislature which convenes next Tuesday, Gov ernor-elect Jonathan M. Davis will, he asserts, emphasize the main points of the party platform on which he was elected. Repeal of the of the Indus trial Court law is one of the blanks It was a Democratic platform and the legislature is overwhelmingly Repub- lican, the House 96 to 29; the Sen ate, 3S to 2.
 Other points are: Reduction of taxes; abolishment of many useless boards and commissions and consoli- dation of many others; abolition of the State Highway Commission; place control of highway construction with boards of county commissioners; re- store "home rule" to cities in regula- tion of it's public utilities (powers now vested in the state public utilities commission); and passage of an act

 Announcement by the State Tax Commission that it favors state in- come tax and will have a bill intro- duced in the legislature, has created much interest Other important measures in sight are:
 List of child welfare laws prepared by a commission appointed by the state; revised edition of the Statutes of Kansas; establishment of state grain warehouses; establishment of farm marketing bureau; qualification and revision of state school laws; adoption of state highway system to be constructed by the state and fi- nanced by s60,000000 bond issue de- frayed by automobile license revenue; reclassification of property for tax ation; revision downward of salaries of state officials. The legislature is obligated through adoption of the sol- dier bonus amendment last election, to vote $25, 5,0o0, ,060 bonds to pay this compensation-$1 day for each day in service.

Lovely Russian Tunic
Makes Welcome Return

The Russian tunic, more radiant, re-
splendent in simmer and color, and
as sophisticated as the most cosmo-
politan Of world beauties, is with us
again. Few women are going to at
tempt to resist its appeal, although
only the divinely slim, and we might
add the equally divinely tall, can
wear it with the dash and nonchal-
ance that it deserves. To appreciate
it at its full value you should see it
scfntiIlating in a metallic sheen and
ablaze with color, the scarlets and the
colds, with sprinklings of equally ra-
'diant tints.
When one of the metallic brocades
is not selected, the choice invariably
falls upon a brocaded or printed vel
vet, the printed Chim-ring, or a richly
mapped fabric deliberately embroi-
dered. Like the coats Of the season.
it runs to great depths, for it is at
knee depth that the generous band OF
fur adds it's swirling finish There is
more of the fur banding the short
sleeves and occasionally a collar
across the back at the neck. And you
girdle it or not as the fancy and the
wearers figure may demand Show it
with a black velours or velveteen skirt
and you have the costume of the hour.

ONION is EFFECTIVE
CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
Simple Remedy Formulated Many
Years Ago Is Unearthed.

The old argument as to whether the
onion is an undesirable citizen seems
likely to be decided in the negative,
now that somebody has discovered that
a diabetes cure turks somewhere
alongside the smell. The onion has
other good qualities. It is effective in
curing or preventing pneumonia, said
the health board of Washington, N. J.
The formula, as it appeared in the
papers Of Washington, is as follows:
"Take six to ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put in a large
spider over hot fire. then add the
same quantity Of rye meal and vinegar,
enough to form thick paste. In the
meanwhile stir it thoroughly, letting it
simmer five or ten minutes. Then put
in cotton bag large enough to cover
the lungs and apply to chest as hot as
patient can bear. In about ten min
utes apply another, and thus continue
by relocating the poultices, and in a
few hours the patient will be out Of
danger. This simple remedy has never
failed to cure this too-often fatal mall
ady. Usually three or four applica-
tons will be sufficient, but continue
always until the perspiration starts
freely from the chest. This remedy
was formulated many years ago by one
of the best physicians New England
has ever known, who never lost a pa
tent by this disease and won his re
nown by simple remedies"

troll of the bedbug. Both bulletins are
available upon application to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture as long as the supply lasts.
The fumes Of burning sulphur are
recommended as a remedy under some
conditions. They readily destroy the
insect in all stages, including the egg.
There Is, however, some risk of injury
to hangings, wall papers and fabrics
from the strong bleaching quality of
sulphur fumes. FOrmalfn gas and
the vapors Of benzine, napthaline and
camphor, which are sometimes used,
are Of little value and insect powders
are not effective because they do not
get into crevices.
Best Simple Control Method.
The best simple method Of control
is a liberal application of benzine,
kerosene or gasoline, introduced with
small feathers or brushes or injected
with syringes into all crevices Of beds,
furniture or walls where the insects
might be concealed. The Dashboard
and picture molding Of the room
should be given attention and also the
backs Of pictures. Corrosive sublimate
and oil Of turpentine may also be used
in this way. Many of the commercial
remedies offered for sale contain one
or another Of these ingredients Hot
water will destroy both bugs and eggs
if it can be used without damaging the
furniture.
The most important part of the cam
paign against the pest is daily in
spection of beds, bedding, seams, bind
ing and tufts of mattresses, and all
parts of the spring and bedstead, wall
and room where the vermin might be
concealed.

Trunks wraps and travelling bags
may furnish a means Of Transporting
bedbugs into the house. Not infre-
quently they gain access to impeccably
clean premises In the laundry basket.
Sometimes they migrate from one
house to another, or from one apart
ment to another along heating or wa
ter pipes The only odium attaching
to the discovery Of bedbug is fall
ure to take immediate steps to eradi-
cate 1t, with all its possible progeny.
Outside of the question of personal
discomfort caused by their bites, bed
bugs are possible carriers Of disease
and therefore are dangerous house
mates.
Bedhugs hide in the daytime In
cracks in the wall or wood trim of the
room, under wall paper, in joints of
the bedstead or spring. in the tufts
or binding of the mattress. They come
out at night in search of food, which
is human blood. The same bedbug, 1t
is believed, bites only once IN from six
to ten days, retiring to digest its enor-
nous meal in quiet; more bites indi-
cate serious infestation which should
be promptly dealt with.
Fumigation is Effective.
Fumigation Of a badly infested
house or room with hydrocyanic-acid
gas is the most efficient remedy, but
owing to the deadly poisonous nature
of the gas this method must be used
only by careful and well-informed per-
sons. Farmers Bulletin 500 gives di-
rections for this kind of fumigation.
Farmers Bulletin 754 describes the
life history, habits and means of con-

Laurel Garnishings.

One is therefore often obliged to do
without them, no matter how welcome
they would be. But there is another
resource that can take the place Of
cut flowers to some extent-branches
of laurel or lunches of laurel tWigs.
Laurel is cheap and good guam
tity can be purchased for very little
money. Placed in Jars or vases of
water it will last a long time. If the
water is changed frequently, it will
not only keep fresh for weeks at a
time, but will sometimes throw forth
new shoots.
In this way, at an Insignificant cost,
one can add to any room the grace
and interest that only a living, eranch-
ing thing will impart. Use jars or
vases of agreeable color and of a

Magical Touch of
Ribbon for Gowns
Combination of Gay Strands
May Be Used to Obtain
Winsome Effects.

Every woman should have a silk
negligee adapted to her personality
They are. simple and easy to make.
A plain one-piece pattern is used to
cut it out. After that everything de
ponds on the application of trimming
at the right places. A vide, Powered
satin ribbon may be draped over the
left shoulder, coming to a low waist
line on the right side and tying in a
huge bow, If the material of the
kimono is coral silk the ribbon
should have the coral color as back
ground, but could also show tones OF
blue. green and gold
A bertha made of the wide, soft
satin ribbon would be equally as eff
fective, especially if decorated at
opening with a few colorful ribbon
flowers.
A panel of wide, soft ribbon may
reach from the shoulder to the floor,
the last foot lying on the floor and
ending in heavy gold tassel. This
panel hangs free from the negligee
and, being on the side back instead OF
the center back. may be draped over
the arm becomingly.
There are moderately priced plain
silk negligees and kimonos in the
shops that could be treated with rib
bon and turned into a thing of beauty
instead of being merely a practical
garment.
The combination of a number of
ribbons is a feature Of dresses. There
is such variety of beautiful ribbons,
exquisitely shaded or shirred or seal
loped, that an infinite variety of com
binations is afforded. In combining a
number OF ribbons, it is not necessary
that the colors match, but they should
be so selected as to afford harmony
either through the blending or the con-
traSt OF cOlOrS and of texture.
For instance, deep bertha, which
adds a modish note to any frock, may
be made as follows:
First, an almond green ribbon, three
inches wide, is used. 1t should be
the kind of a ribbon that has gath
ering thread along one edge and is
scalloped along the other. The gath
ering thread Is pulled just enough to
fit the neckline of the dress and to
allow the scalloped. edge to lie fiat.
The next ribbon used should be a
green plise, a shade lighter than al
mond and six inches wide. One edge
is attached to the first ribbon just
under the scalloped edge. The ribbon
Falls over the shoulder but does not
fare. On the contrary it hugs the
shoulders closely, the shirred center
allowing room for the curve of the
shoulders. A green ombre ribbon,
three inches wide, is next attached.
1t should have scalloped edge or a
gold edge.
Instead of using shades of one color,
two or three, or even four, pastel
shades might be combined. Or two
colors, such as gold and blue would
be effective.
The ribbon bertha on dress re
Quires another ribbon touch either at
girdle or bottom of skirt.

Beading Is Combined
With Ribbon on Frocks

On the tide of the demand for ribbon
trimming has come like demand for
beading, since charming embroidery
effect can be attained by its use on
dainty frocks without the actual bother
of doing the embroidery. This is espe-
cially popular for children's dresses.
Rows of beading may encircle the skirt
and yoke. Through this beading mar
row ribbons are run, tying in miniature
bows at odd places. Several pastel
shades are used effectively on light
frocks, while black velvet ribbon is ap-
propriate for any kind Of dress.
