is mighty apt to then turn from
a mild attack to pneumonia or

Instead of running a risk or
using quinine or coal tar products
which affect the head, ears or heart
in many cases, one should take a
few doses of Babek, which con-
tains no quinine, or coal tar ele-

CROUCH DEPARTS
 FOR STATES ON
 ACCOUNT HEALTH
AFTER LENGTHY STAY IN INTER lOR ALASKAN VISITOR WILL
 LEAVE FOR SOUTH

Forced to return to the States ow- ing to illness, Earl F. Crouch, who arrived in Seward some weeks ago in company with Hal c. Evarts, left last night on the steamer Northwest ern for Seattle, enroute to Los An geles to visit specialist.
 While in the Interior MT. Crouch spent few days at Fairbanks and at Chatanika, later going to Ester Creek and Quartz Hill. At the lat ter place he looked over the Ryan lode with Ben Thompson, with the view of interesting Outside capital. From there he went to Bannek Creek near Richardson, to see big quartz dyke. This was a fine looking pros pect, he said, and is owned by MT. Snuff, who was the locator.
 The Interior looks very good to MT. Crouch, who anticipates returning next year. He wanted to stay in Al aska for at least another month this time and was regretfull to leave.
 While in the Interior he became in- terested in the tourist traffic, espec- tally with the possibilities of erect ing a large tourist lodge at the Sum- init. He seriously considered for a time the taking ahold of this propo- sition, erecting such a resort, but af- ter due consideration believed the cash outlay would be too great for the small and slow returns, and with the limited number of tourists who go through.
 MT. McCloskey has a fine 40-Eaom hotel or road house at Richardson, and here MT. Crouch spent several days. The highway needs a great deal more money spent on it, MT. Crouch stated. To Mccarthy the road is in excellent shape, but from that point on it is in rather poor condi- tion, he said owing to the glacier streams meandering across the road, and the numerous slides which have come down. 3~

Bob Hatcher Stakes Big Water Power Site
 In Nuka Bay Region

It is believed that the 1,000-foot waterfall on the West shore of the North arm of Nuka Bay, located about two miles off shore line and which water site Bob Hatcher re- gently staked, is one of the largest falls of water on the Alaskan coast line. A tremendously large size gla- cier, extending for miles at high altitude is constantly feeding this fall of water.
 The torrent of probably ten feet in width, at the top, jumps off into sheer space to the first shelf 1000 feet below where a deep pool has been worn into the solid rock. From this shelf the stream falls for many hundreds of feet again, thence emp tying into the bay. There is ample power going to waste daily here, it is stated, to keep hundreds of mills operating.

ENCOURAGE SIMPLICITY
Edith Lochridge Reid

Children, naturally, have very sim
pie tastes and inclinatiOns.
How is it then that many of them
even before the age of five become
spoiled and petulant and demanding? !?
This is the reason: their natural
tendency toward simplicity has not
been fostered and developed.
Since a mother is the strongest in
fluence in a child's life in his early
years, surely it is Neither, then, who
must hold to the simple standard if
the beautiful artlessness of childhood
is to be preserved.
"Give Baby his other rattle box,
he's tired of this one" mother said
to her little daughter in my presence.
So the rubber rattle was picked UP
and put away because Baby had
thrown it down number of times,
and pink celluloid one was substi-
tuted
Without entering into a discussion
of whether rattles are ever suitable
playthings for babies-this mother
was destroying the ability of her
child to find pleasure in simplicity.
The baby was barely old enough to
grasp anything in his hand. AS yet
his own fingers and fists were a per-
feet marvel to him. He would have
played with them contentedly until
he dropped off to sleep, and when he
awoke and was once more fed and !
those same fingers |
would have been as attractive and |
novel as if he had never seen them |
before
Yet in the space Of half an hour of |
his waking time, he had been enter
tanned with two different rattles, a
bright balloon tied to the foot of his
bed and one or another Of several
toy animals which aroused very lit
tie interest in him.
Giving the baby toys too early and
in too great variety creates unnat-
lral inclinations and desires. He is
being forced ahead, and like a hot
house bulb, he may grow more
quickly but he will be less sturdy
n character than if permitted to de-
yelop naturally.
Drawing attention to the baby's
accomplishments repeatedly and ex-
,loiting his achievements before Wis
tors or relatives are sure ways to
make him self-centered and artificial !
n manner. How can he remain un- I
when folks continually ex-
lain over his abilities, and direct !
ttention to him?
I have a friend with a cunning Z

Mother, see what I'm doing" and
if Mother doesn't look Immediately

Another mother stresses clothes
until Anabel is vain. Each time this
mother embroiders a new ffOck she
sends Anabel around the neighbOr-
hood among her friends to show how
cute she looks dressed up in her new
togs. Alas! Simplicity will soon be
a lost art with Anabel.
Surely we cannot blame our boys
and girls for their sophisticatiOn and
false attitudes toward life when they
grow older if we do not cherish as
beautiful and precious traits their
unconsciousness and simplicity. Mo-
theirs will do well to remember that
it is in babyhood and during the
early pre-school years that child
is Spoiled" in the sense, of losing
his native innocence of thought and
manner. To cultivate simplicity
means to add a rare charm to any
