WTE MUST not neglect the nails of
 4 the feet. How many of us are
 willing to expose them even to the gaze of our intimates!
 As rule, the toe nails are crippled, especially those upon the small and great toes. Pressure of shoes is the usual cause. High heels that throw the foot forward and crowd the toes into small place cripple the nails, which grow from below outward.
 If there is no space for them they be- okale dwarfed, layer after layer pile up in thickness instead of length and a horny mass is formed. Sometimes the service of a chiropodist is required to radnce the mass, the pressure of which on the underlying soft flesh rseults in various injuries; thus a blood blister may form; sponginess of the nail may develop as a result of microbic lnva- sion; a stick discharge with disa- greeable odor oozes from it. Some times a severe neuralgia of the affect ed toe occurs from the pressure of the horny nail on the neighboring nerve.
 The sponginess can be disseeted away very carefully, the nail bed thoroughly cleaned and dried, then touched with a weak solution of silver nitrate. A few such applications will suffice to control the condition.
 Ingrown toe nail is very common feformity and one that causes need less suffering. It is usually caused by $ ignnrouer footwear Short stockings nav start the trouble as well as short, narrow and poorly fitting shoes. Any fhing that interferes seriously with the circulation of the blood may cause it.. IF is commonly believed that scraplng fha toe nail to a thin layer down its centre. which causes it to contract, and so mil the ingrown nail back to its naufraI positino, will correct the tfou- hle. This is an error. It is also mistaken belief that deep notch cut in the center of the nail produces the same effect. Keeping the nail cut short and straight across is another useless bit of advice.
 Unless the nail has been grossly neg laeted and is so deeply imbedded in the surrounding proud flesh as to require aI. operation, you can cure the trouble yourself by following these simple ln- structions:
 Do not cut the nail short nor trim ;ta edges. Allow it to grow out unIll if is on a level with the top ot the toe Raise the ingrown side away rom the toe. Carefully remove all drlea skih' soft snonginess-under the toe nall- bstsveen the nail and the toe. Apply a stropg solution of nitrate of silver to s,a nToud flesh and pack tiny pledged of absorbent cotton in the space De- t-vaen nail and toe.

 The result is good from the start, hut you must keep up the treatment every night and morning, puttIne III fresh cotton each time. All pam s3Dn subsidies, the proud flesh gradually dls- appears. By guiding the nall to gFon in its natural direction, the tehuenes 'o curve inward will be overcome

And as no one had a match, Raggedy Ann put the three hairs in her pocket so as not to lose them, and the friends decided to stay at the nice cookie field until some one came along who would lend them a match.

WILL ESTABLISH SCHOOL OF INDUSTRY NEAR
 EKLUTNA; FIRST UNIT BE STARTED AT ONCE

who will be the chief instructor in manual training, teacher of the el- ementary school, nurse a matron and general utility man.
 Although, MT. Mozee stated today, most of the orphans from the orphan age at Tyonic will be brought over to Eklutna as the first students, the school at Eklutna will not be an or phanage but purely an industrial school where any of the Indian child ren who have finished the fourth, the fifth and sixth grades may receive finished trade of vocational training.
 A man and teacher will stay at Tyonic this winter to take care of the school at that place and what In- dian children stay there. The Officials will also look after the fishing reser- vation rights of the native Indians.
 The reserve for the Indian Indus trial school at Eklutna calls for all land in the vicinity of the mouth of the Eklutna not already filed upon by homesteaders. The school itself will be built upon the tract of land north of the Eklutna river, between the river and the Alaska railroad, about two hundred feet east of the railroad right of way. The school building will face the railroad and the Inlet.
 M, Mn1oo cAo4oJ 4o Iau .~z sons for establishment of the indus trial school at Eklutna was such that it's location was such that when the proposed Anchorage Light and Power company built their hydro electric plant at Eklutna,, the school could re- ceive cheap electric power for use in the shops and buildings. Further more, said MT. Mozee, the tract of land has good opportunities for large agricultural areas for the extensive gardens which the Indians will culti- vate for school use. Also the dis trict around Eklutna is a fine game country and has excellent duck hunt ing.
 One of the weighty reasons for building the school at Eklutna is due to it's facility to the bureau of educa- tion reindeer herd in the Broad Pass country. It will be able to send In dian lads to the herd for their train ing as reindeer herders, and also it will be easily possible to procure rein deer meat for use at the school.

PULP MILL PROJECT
 FOR SEWARD IS STILL UNDER WAY
ENGINEERS ARE IN SEATTLE COLLECTING ALL NECESSARY DATA FOR PROPOSED BIG IN DUSTRY AT SEWARD.
(The- Alaska Weekly)

For the last month engineers have been in Seattle and other points on Puget sound and in British Columbia getting necessary data sent here by the big Eastern interests that will if nance the proposed pulp and paper making industry at Seward, Alaska.
 Frank l.. BaIlaine, yromoter of the big proposition, declines to discuss the matter, taking the position that any information on the subject must come from those who are financing the in- dustry. As far as he would go was to say that everything is coming along all right
 The~choice of the Resurrection bay town as the site for a pulp mill and paper making plant recalls to mind an opinion expressed by big East ern Canada pulp and paper manufac- turer many years ago. The writer of this article was at the time editor of the Seward Gateway. The paper manufacturer was financially concern ed in the old Alaska Central Railway and made trip to Seward and into the Matanuska valley to see the coal fields. Upon his return to Seward from the trip, he was interviewed, and said, in part:
 eff were younger man, I would locate in Seward and establish pulp and paper making plant. That's Your big resource here, as I see it. There is an abundance of spruce on the pen insula and cottonwoods grow in pro- fusion in the Matanuska and Susitna valleys. The great Kenai Lake and river will provide adequate water power facilities. We have nothing like it in my cou1ftry.

WILL INSTALL ELECTRIC
 SIREN FOR TOWN NOME

NOME-It is planned to install an electric siren at the Hammond Pow CT Plant to be sounded daily at morn ing, noon and evening hour. The time will be regulated and kept as accu- rate as possible thru the courtesyaof the men of the local Radio Station. A daily whistle of some sort is needed and would soon become accepted as the official time everywhere within hearing distance of the siren. This would eliminate our present system of each ship, firm, hotel and individual trying to keep his own time with the result that no one knows within half an hour of the correct time because he got it from so-and-so. It may take little time to learn to distinguish the siren itself from the prompt and correct imitation which will TO doubt be given by the dogs. A second sir en will be installed at Little Creek.

Anchorage Times)

As a result of recommendations made to the bureau of education by B. B. Mozee, local superintendent last fall, recommending the removal of the orphanage at Tyonic to some place in the Matanuska Valley arrange ments have been completed for the building of the first unit of large industrial school at Eklutna. This first building, which ultimately will be dormitory, will be built under the direction of Casper Malmberg, re- gently appointed superintendent of the school.
 Several car loads of material for the first unit are on hand and work will Dc started on the building this week.
 Nil. Mozee stated this morning that the primary reason for the establish melt of such an industrial school sst Eklutna is due to the bureau Of cdl- cations desire to train the Indian children in their native environment and climate and not send them out to the Indian schools in the states. Tn the past Indian children have been sent to schools ;, ch as Chemev-a at Salem, Oregon.
 The industrial school at Eklutna, when finished, will consist of several units grouped in square. The main building of this square will be used as classrooms for the elementary and grade school classes On either side of tie main building will be shops for vocational and trade courses. In front and at the corners of the hol- low square will be two two story dor snitories, one for the boys and the other tor the girls. Teachers cottages will also be built.
 The plans for this year only include the building of one of the buildings, ultimately a dormitory, but to be used this year for all the work of the school. This building will cost ap- proximately $11 ,000 and will be 36 by 52 feet in size. It will have a ce- ment basement, electric lights and steam heat throughout
 The staff chosen Tor the year will include MT. and Mrs. Casper Malm- berg and three others to be announc- ed later. It is planned to have a staff consisting of the superintendent
