AlIeviating Bronchial Distress

a very common complaint, as every
practicing physician knows. It's
care becomes problem to many
families who number older folks
among their treasures. To old
people, life and comfort are para
mount blessings. Cough mixtures
are legion, and many are palliative
but seldom curative. Indeed, prop
er conduct does more permanent
good than medicine. The "fresh air
crank" comes in and demands the
inevitable wide-open windows. No
matter how cold-how damp-or
how laden with floating gases and
micro organisms, the windows must
be open, and the cough goes on, TO
the distress of the sufferer and of
those about him. To stupefy such
patients with narcotic cough mix
lures is the general rule, but how
futilel
Remember this: Warm air may
be just as pure as cold, and is usu-
ally much more comforting than
cold night air. Bedrooms should
invariably be "aired out" thorough
ly during the day. Beds are much
healthier un-made, and allowed to
air thoroughly. When night comes
close the windows, and allow as
little change of temperature as
possible n the bedroom till morn
ing. Do not close bedroom doors
if the sleeping apartment is small
and this suggests airing the entire
residence as often as necessary for
pure air, but do it In daytime.
Sleeping-rooms should be where
bright sunlight can enter freely du-
ring the day. And, remember this:
Cold mght-air never benefited a

Flowerlike Chiffon Skirt
for Evening Wear.

The bodice of the dress is fitted
very slightly to the figure and cut
in six pointed scallops at the bot
tom. These scallops are finished
with bias bindings.
The dress is made with plain
foundation of the chiffon. There
are two tiers of the chiffon drap-
cries, six on each row. The easiest
way to shape these drapery pieces
is to cut squares of twenty-seven
inches dimensions. Then cut off
the upper corner of each square
as shown in the diagram at the
right. The drapery pieces are then
sewn in place at the top only, the
rest being allowed to fall as it will.
The edges may be picoted or rolled
and whipped.
One and one-half yards of the
crepe de Chine and five and half
yards of fifty-four inch chiffon will
be needed to make this dress

WRITING ALASKAN
 BALANCE SHEET
By JOHN E. MEALS.

Suppose that some immense syndi- cate proposed to buy Alaska, and carry it on as business proposi- tion, and they asked for a Consoli- dated Balance Sheet. There indeed would be an engagement to satisfy the most ambitious of public account ants.
 Any invest tigation which attempted to calculate the value of Alaska in dollars and cents would be an ex- haustive one, necessarily, and would involve considerat ton of factors de- manding the advice of financiers; en- giners; sociologists; historians; poli- ticians and many others-it would confront the accountant at every turn with assets so intangible that valua- tion would be nearly impossible, and estimates soon become guesses.
 For who can set the value of the happiness of a whole people, or say what mans life is worth-or pro- phesy what is hidden beneath the rock, or what the soil will bring forth?
 At the outset we would meet trou- ble in consolidating the records of fifty-seven varieties of bureaus, and
Seward daily gateway., 1925-12-05

After that 1t would be perfectly simple case of sordid bargaining with which of course, no accountant would be asked to soil his white hands.
 There would be long speeches in Congress, and flaring headlines in the papers. and everybody would call everybody else crook, and when the deal was made, William Randolph Hearst would apply for an injunction to stop it, and Will Rogers would mention 1t in the Follies. Before the thing got we'll started, the Florida realtors would be sneak ing off to Alaska, and men would say to their wives, There must be something up there," and they would buy fur coat and couple of Oli- yer Curwood's novels and start North.
 The syndicate would market it's se- curities all over the United States, and wien thousands of people began to set little dividend checks, the stock would go up higher than the rent of modern apartment-espe- cially if the syndicate happened to remember that one can't plant ap- ples today and pick them off the traoc pnyt c,,p,y,oa
 In the end perhaps the question of valuation would never be settled, as the tax experts would find some way to assess a capital increase, and in any event, so much of the produc- tion would continue to be in brains and ideas and healthy bodies; in prosperity and contentment, and for such number of people, that only a very young and cocksure account ant would attempt to place a cash value upon it.
 It is an intriguing subject, and while Alaska's balance sheet may never be written, it would be an en- Tightening and inspiring thing to try
 I think it would demonstrate to the world that Alaska is somewhat in the position of the lady who worked all week washing clothes, and gave the money to her. husband; when she asked him for dollar to buy some more soap, he said, Huh, not with MY money!"

who owns today, the largest exclu
 sive gents furnishing store in South
 western Alaska. And the business is growing steadily.
 A more staunch booster for the Seward and Westward district would
 be hard to find. He has backed up
 his faith in Alaska by substantial purchases of real estate, including a splendid residence, and this, after returning to Seward last summer from an extensive trip to the States. In civic enterprises he has always been among the first to put his shoulder to the wheel of progress. MT. Urbach is an ardent follower of Isaac Walton but his favorite out door sport is hunting the famed AL aska bear.
 In 1919 MT. Urbach made a visit to his former home in New York, and came back married man. MT. and Mrs. Urbach have two fine sons, and whenever MT. Urbach cannot be found about his store he can gen. erally be located at home romping with his sons and heirs.
 In 1907 he joined the Masonic lodge at Lewiston, Idaho; in 1916 he ran for Mayor of Seward and was defeated by a scant seven votes; as- sisted in starting the Seward Ma sonic lodge, No. 2l9. This was in 1916; from the years 1918 to 1920 he was Worshipful Master of the local lodge; he has been an active member of the Seward Chamber of Commerce, and one of it's organizers in 1916; at present he is the secre- tary and treasurer of the loyal vol unteer fire organization. MT. Ur- bach is a member of Nile Temple, Seattle Shriners, 32nd degree Mason. He is also member of the Knights of Pythias and a member of the Los Angeles Masonic club; he is Worthy Patron of the Eastern Star, and, in conclusion is also a member of the Seward Athletic Association and the Seward Tennis Association.
 When asked about his political status, MT. Urbach said he was a staunch Republican and great ad- mirer of Dan A. Sutherland. delegate tp Congress from Alaska.
 His one weakness, he admits free ly, is the love for his new eight tube radio outfit, which, according to his hosts of friends, is said to be one of the finest in this part of the Terri tory.

A persual of Russian History of the Kenai Peninsula" will reveal to any one not familiar with this vicinity that during the early days when Rus sia possessed the Territory, sea bat tie was fought off the coast of Kenai in which hundreds of natives died. The bodies of those slain were depos- ited in a nearby gulch. The rains of the past century have washed down much of the gulch with the result that skeleton tumbles down to the creek bed.

The Alaskan peninsula or rather the southwestern extremity of this big body of land and the adjacent Aleu- tian islands, offer a solution of the chief problem of the wool growers of the Western States, now cramped for grazing lands for their flocks of sheep. In this part of Alaska, the climatic conditions are not rigorous and there are thousands upon thousands of acres of grazing lands adapted to sheep rais- ing-all to be had for the taking.

attempting to translate their reports into one coherent statement.

'
 When we investigated the reports of gold production, we would find that no law obligates an operator to report his production, and we would conclude that the figures were prob ably understated; we would find that a good many turs had slipped thru without being mentioned to the Biolo- gical Survey folks, and that the Cus- toms House figures took no account of Parcels Post shipments.
 And then we would find that but little distinction had been made. by the present owners between Capital Investment and Revenue Expendi- ture, and remember that everything is dead loss to the Federal Gov ernment-the theory being that it outlives all living and material things, and it is therefore immaterial wheth- CT the new marble PostOffice is charg- ed to Investment account, or thrown into the same bag with the salary of a prohibition agent, except that capitalization and depreciation would provide employment for another Con- mission and a great many account ants, and might be worth considera- ton from that point.

 through all these years had an i'm. mense effect upon the reports. So, in the end, think we would throw the mail in the wastebasket And after failing to estimate the actual inventory value, so to speak we would probably turn to the cap italization of income, and our &C., countant would say, Here is a coun- try which has produced over a bill lion dollars, with imports of approx imately half that amount. The year. ly exports are about fifty million, and the imports-if we leave out the values used in Capital Investment are about half that amount"
 Then, by the use of Algebra, Call culus and the Ouija board, he would compute that every one of the 25,- 900 or so white men, women and chil- dren in Alaska had an annual produc- tion credit os about $2,000, One thou sand for the excess exported, and the other thousand for capital inn provements at home.
 "The problem is simple" he might say. "The net profit or capital in crease is about fifty millions year, and the country is worth one and a quarter billions because that is the principal which would earn fifty millions at four per cent"
 Of course he would ignore any question of depreciation of deple- tion-as he might very we'll do in such a vast territory.
 And then, I think, we would hear a great grumble from all the con- mercial clubs. They would wire back to Washington or Paris, or wherever negotiations were being held, and say: Wait! This man is obviously incompetent and corrupt, and we ask that he be removed because he hasn't given Alaska credit for holding God knows how much more wealth that is not now being touched, and we de- mand that the capitalization figures be based upon an estimate of what the country could produce if we had the population which We can SUD- port"
 And they would hire more account ants and figure that the territory could support three million people the Scandinavian countries would prove reasonable yardstick-and they would say that if we had two million people in Alaska, they could then produce net profits of four bill lions a year, and the proper valua- tion would hence be one hundred bill lions!
 Then I think some of the financiers would remember what happened to Henry Ford's stock, and others would recall their investment in dry gush- CTS, while the administration be- walled the fact that the government spent ten millions in Alaska last year and only got a million and a half back, and Alaskans would con- slider the numbers of officials sent out without their advice or consent and feel like the woman whose hus- band beat her up, and then grumbled because she was "spending so much for her own pleasures" when the doc tors and dentists bill came in.
 And finally, I imagine, one of our inanciers would pick up his Bible (perhaps to find name for the new and would come across something about faith being "the substance of things to be hoped for; he evidence of things that appear 1ot," and he would spring up with solution to the deadlock, and say, 1 We must buy it on Faith-and then ,et busy and move the mountains" l
