There is a peculiar fascination to
the Winters, with their perpetual
starlight over endless stretches OF
snow. Inland, away from the cold
winds blowing down from the North
Pole. conditions are even more favor
able, except for the impossbility of
obtaining much outside aid, once the
snow is falling and the jeweled
blanket Of Arctic night is tuck ed
around the shoulders Of the sleeping
land.
During the Summer the climate is
even pleasant, explorers report. In
June, July and August the thermome-
ter on the. coast is usually about 40
degrees Fahrenheit with extremes of
80 and 80 degrees The highest re-
corded temperature on the coast was
20 degrees and in the mountains 70
There is a noticeable change from
the raw coastal weather a dozen
miles inland in the Summer.
The coolest months are January
February and March. The, average
coastal temperature during these
months is 90 degrees below zero. On
about a half-doAen days each Winter
the mercury goes down to 40 below
zero. There is a minimum tempera-

degrees below zero.
The coastal plain and the upland
are covered with the ordinary forms
of tundra vegetation. There are no
trees or even bushes along the Arctic
shore. Stunted willows occur in the
valleys of the upland, increasing in
height toward the mountains. With
in the mountains the older gravel
bars of most Of the rivers are over
grown with willows. which rarely
exceed IL or Is feet in height.
On the Canning River, further west
few patches of cottonwoods are
found. These appear lofty when COM
pared with the surrounding vegeta-
tion, but actually measure only about
25 feet in height. There is some
grass for pasturage along the river
bars-enough, probably. to feed the
horses of an exploring party if they
are not overworked.

THE real glory of the region comes
I during its first great flush of
flowers Starting practically at the
coast, these increase in beauty as one
goes toward the mountains. Liter
ally millions sof tiny blossoms, none
over an inch high and most of them
seemingly without streams or leaves
at all, carpet the land in red, yellow,

This characteristic phenomenon of
Arctic lands is found nowhere more
pronounced than in northern Alaska.

The Importance Of Cleanliness

needed off fresh Sh'@ air r0 asf as much 'as
 medicine and I wouldn't be bit surprised but it's because she lies there all day long in a stuffy little room all cluttered up with furniture and sea shells and chandeliers and whatnot that MAKES her ill.,
 The woman who had preached sermon in one breathless sentence got off the trolly carefully and her com panion followed her. They were kind ly churchwomen, going to visit an old member of the parish who had been bed-ridden for years.
 Members of the Ladies Aid got dis couraged going to see old Mrs. Mellish. For one thing, she refused to have the windows open. She also insisted upon having a bed in her daughters parlor, which was a fearsome place with weird curtains of eucalyptus buds strung on strings that rusted when you looked at them, and was full of antimacassars and the Berlin wool work of lost de- cade.
 
 And she was neither an opportunist nor an optimist Which made it rather trying for the members of the Ladies Aid and all the rest of her friends.
 There was dust under her bed. One rather sensed it in the stuffy dim little grotesque room.
 And the room needed airing.
 It was all rather terrible, for old Mrs. MelliSh was not disciple of the fresh air doctrine.
 Within year she died.
 Under more hygienic and healthful circumstances she might have lived many years longer.
 Sick rooms MUST be clean rooms.
 Cleanliness is as much part of the cure in disease as treatment. Possibly the chief part of the cure.
 There is this well known quotation |: There are three great things in the world. The first is honor, and the second is honor, and the third is honor!"
 It is exactly the same way ip sick room-about cleanliness.
 Careful dusting in sick room is of primary importance. This is because there are bound to be germs in the air. If allowed to collect in dust they will multiply and cause infection.
 Damp dusters should be used in a sick room. But NEVER rub electric light fixtures with damp cloth. It is very dangerous.
 Soft brushes, oil mops (clean ones) or a broom over which damp duster has been tied are better than stiff, dust raising brooms.
 If the wood work in a sickroom is stained and therefore uncean, tincture of camphor or equal parts of oil and turpentme will remove the stains. But try to do so when the patient is tenn porarily in another room. Strong odors often distress an invalid.
 If alcohol is spilled on vanished or

And with these in the house, your nice mama will never have to do even a smidgn of work" So the Raggedys and the others helped the Grannys carry all the magical things from their house and these were loaded upon the magi- cal boat. Then the Grannys left a note upon the door telling anyone who wished a home that they might come right in and live there.
 Now we are all happy!" the little brown man laughed. So sail the little magic boat towards home"
 And the little Captain laughed and saluted as he turned the magic switch and sent the little white magical boat sailing along through the deep, deep woods to where he knew, his nice mama would be waiting for them.

painted surfaces cover quickly with oil and if spot remains after wiping, rub it gently with oil and soft cloth till it disappears.
 Solutions of soda, potash or am monia will remove grease from unvar- nished wood.
 Never have unnecessary furniture or hangings in a sick room Everything should be washable. Cover expensive tables with layers of newspaper and white oilcloth. Then it is not neces- sary to spoil polished tables just be- cause they happen to be in a sickroom.

Of course, my wife being per, fectly frank, gives me the so so or criticisms other people wouldn't dare have the nerve to say.
 "My wife takes care of thousand I;ttla social details. She keeps people friendly, people whom am afraid would antagonize if l were left on my own resources.
 "Men are simply lacking in those nice social amenities. Wives have a nice way of saying pleasant things to their husbands friends and patching up strained situations. Having a wife makes it possible for a man to enter tain his various friends in proper fash ion. My wife happens to be very charming hostess and she has smoothed the way for various contacts l would not otherwise have been able to make.
 "A year ago lectured in Europe on American Ideals at several universities. What ever favorable impression l made was enhanced by Mrs. Drake's pres ence.
 .I was in Paris all summer and by gracefully side-stepping and allowing me to go there to study some problems was greatly interested and my wife assisted me most nobly by taking care of things at home and giving me the opportunity to pursue my work. She censured all my mail and kept all the unpleasant worries from me.
 "A wife keeps her husband in an environment of affection-happy and mfortable-which no man who lives alone ever realizes until he is agree ably married. With her tact, intui- tion and affection in daily life she is the rudder to the ship of state which ,ails safely on."

When a hole has been made in the wall paper in moving piece of furniture, if one has no paper like the one on the wall, a judicious use of watercolors will work wonders.

The break will be al most invisible if the watercolors are used carefully. .-.-.-
