X-rayed at the start-off.
 The effect of abscessed teeth upon children is a subject that parents would do well to study, Examina- tons of our local school children 6, and 10 years of age reveal an alarming number with diseased teeth At this age 1t is positively danger ous Not only does 1t keep them backward In their studies, but 1t is very injurious to their health. In cases of long standing their vitality is so depleted and lowered, that conditions gradually lead to tuher- |cular trouble. Reformatory tests show that q large percentage of the boys and girls confined in these in- stitutions owe their disobedienCe and bad behavior to defective teeth. Even prisons report the same ind the prison dentist has exhibited more corrective powers than the warden himself. Good health is es- sential 10 good citizenship and If greater care were exercised by par ents in the matter Of health for our young ones, the drain on town and county, and even themselves as tax payers in support of these institu- tions would be materially lessened.
 The 50th milestone in mans age can well be regarded as the critical age. Al that age a man either moves forWdrd, stands still, or moves backward. In many cases mans beit work Is done after he is 50 but only too often Is it that this turn ing point finds the average man un- capable for better efforts. and in stead of being able 10 look forward to greater achievem ents, must face | the uncertain future with fear and l misgivings. TO one who Is ap- preaching the hslf-ceutury mark :, little thought to the teeth in the na- ture of an X-ray examination will doubtless change 2 discouraging out
 look into one that is far more fav- orable.
 1 AS look back over my 4l years of experience, l can recall q great many instances where neglect of the
 teeth has resulted in the deaths of
 many of my former fellow citizens.
 Perhaps not directly, but indirectly.
 for as we've noted before. a multi
 plicity Of diseases may result 1 through the agency of diseased
 teeth. I am positive that great many of these lives could have been extended, and many of these depart
 d ones would be alive today If
 warnings had been needed
 Tn this connection I am surprised
 that life insurance companies have apparently neglected this problem of
 the teeth. + Is safe to say that these companies are losing thous- ands dollars annually due 10 the
 many deaths traceable 10 defective teeth. If the mouth of every policy | holder were to be examined today the result would be appalling, and
 many of those considered as very good risks" would be classified al
 cn"o as very poor ones. I firmly believe that the day is coming when
 insurance companies will insist not only upon q, rhysicians certificate.

but one from a dentist also as pre- cautionary measure. In order that an insurance company ca win out, a policy holder must live a required t!me. but premature deaths are often the rule and each one means so much loss for the company. It is even up 10 the policy holder to out. live this allotted time If he himself is 10 enjoy any of the benefits Of his investment. The insurance com. panies could we'll afford to stand the expense of X-ray examinations for its applicants for policies in that this procedure would give them ad. ditional information as to the physi- cal fitness of the applicant before they assume tho responsibilities and obligations they owe to their policy holders, If this examination re- vealed any defective teeth the com pany could require their extraction before accepting the applicant. If this rule were enacted, the financiai gain for the insurance companies r. 10 years time would indeed be great but the service rendered 10 humanity would be many times greater.
 In conclusion I wish to state that it is my sincere wish that the read CTS of this article will not think that l believe, or am trying 10 have oth- CTS beli.ve, that all ills or disorders are purely the result of bad teeth. Far from it. On the other hand, however. it cannot be denied that large percentage of them are. My own experience and also that of your own dentist or doctor. has revealed innumerable instances where it was eventually proven that badly diseas- cd teeth were the underlying causes of much bodily suffering, and 1t is for this reason that bring the mat ter before the public,

MINK USEFUL OBTAINING
 FOOD FOR BLUE FOXES

c. W. Willard of Port St. Clair who has fox farm on Edwards Is land, on the southeast coast of Kuiu Island, was in Petersburg last week on business trip.
 MT. Willard put some young blue fox pups on his Island last fall and he says they are thriving. Edwards Island he believes, has any physical features adapted to fur farming, and also for a permanent and ideal home
 MT. Willard said that Mrs. Will lard one day observed mink on the float which had some fish in its mouth. Two of the foxes parked and caused it to retreat, and the foxes then ate the fish. This was repeated couple of times. He hu morously remarked that possibly enough mink might be placed on the island to feed the foxes, which would save considerable work and expense in feeding.

MACHINERY OF CANINE
 PLANT TAKEN SOUTH

The Ketchikan Chronicle of recent date say that the machinery and equipment of the reduction plant op- erated in Ketchikan last summer by J. Stanley Gawne was placed on board the Canadian Pacific railway liner Princess Louise for shipment to Barclay sound, where it is to be installed.
 MT. Gawne and E. B. Grigg, who has been in charge of the plant, came north early in the spring to place it in readiness for operation and no intimation was given that any change was intended Machinery was over hauled and the usual preparations made for the season. MT. Gawne went south several weeks ago and decision to move the plant was made while he was in Ketchikan.
 Mir. Grigg was not apprised of the reason for moving the plant which operated successfully last sea- son.
 The factory, which is located on the Charcoal point road is now avail able for lease to any marine enter prise, Mr. Grigg states. MT. Grigg plans on remaining here for the re- mainder of the season.

BRISTOL BAY, Alaska, July 15.- (By MaiD D.-An epidemic of "flu' has been playing sad havoc with the na tives of this region the past month There has been a number of deaths and most of the natives have been unable to fish or work at the can neries. Three bodies lay in Igloos in one village on the Nushagak river for ten days, there being no natives able to bury the dead. The doctors and nurses from the Alaska Packers, the Warren Packing Co.,, and Libby's gave medical aid daily where possi- ble and most of the canneries cook ed food and distributed among the sick. Supt. F. A. Daly, of the War ren Packing company was particular ly active in summoning aid to the various. Had it not been for the timely aid of the canneries, the na- tive race of Bristol Bay would have been almost extinct.
 Many Canneries Operating
 Twenty-Five salmon canneries are operating in the Bristol Bay region this season, but the run of salmon has been extremely small in all the rivers, except the Nushagak, which has had larger run than for sev- eral years past. There has been a closed period of thirty-six hours each week, but Henry O'Malley, head of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries stop ped all fishing for commercial pur- poses July 20, to give the salmon a chance to go up to the lakes to spawn. It is estimated the pack this year will not be one-fourth the average pack.
 Orphanage Expanding.
 A new industrial building is being erected at the Kanakanak Orphan age and the boys will be taught diff ferent trades. This will be a big ad- dition to the present curriculum. Children from all parts of Alaska will now be admitted to this school as the Chemawa Indian school is crowded and no longer admits na- tive children from Alaska.
 Knight Arrives, Taken III.
 MT. Knight, assistant superintend- ent of the Alaska Packers Associa- tion, came in via Iliamna the fore part of June on tour of inspec- tion of the Packers conneries, but soon after his arrival, was stricken with light stroke of paralysis and is now confined in the Naknek hos pital.
 Game Warden Busy.
 MT. Hardy of the Alaska Game and Fur Commission has been visiting the different places in Bristol Bay, giving instructions as to the work ings of the New Fur and Game Law, recently passed by Congress. MT. Hardy seems to be an efficient war den and it is to be hoped, more war dens like him will be stationed in this region. There are many strong and good points in the new law, but like most measures providing for complete changes, there are some things all right theoretically, but not adapted for practical purposes in a country like Alaska. Chief of these, is prohibiting the killing of any kind of game, such as ducks, geese, grouse or ptarmigan by either natives or whites where food is available. Fresh meat is hard to get in Alaska in the
