According to a letter recently re-
ceived from Nulato, it is reported
that there will be good catch Of
fox and mink in that section during
the present winter. The letter in
part,reads:
Most of the natives are still a.
way on their fall hunting and trap
ping trips. Game and fur conditions
are not known as yet, but from early
fall indications it is believed foxes
and mink will be fairly plentiful
Rabbits are still plentiful, but
ptarmigan, spruce-hens and willow
grouse have practically disappeared.
Development of the reindeer ex-
detrimental station at the College, a
cooperative project between til e
College and the Biological Survey
is making progress.
One yearling caribou male was re-
Gently obtained near Chatanika and
delivered at the College Reindeer
Station. Other stock, both caribou
and reindeer, for experimental study
will be obtained later on from Can't
we'll and from Kokrines.
What is believed to be one of the
greatest runs of caribou observed in
the history of the Yukon river, took
place this fall according to letter
just received from a prominent resi-
dent and official of Eagle.
Fire Of unknown origin caused a
loss of nearly $4,000 last Sunday
morning on the homestead Of o. c.
Miller, on the Willow creak road
eight miles out from Wasilla The
fire completely destroyed the large
log carpenter shop and its valuable
contents, including great variety
of tools, and it was by the merest
chance that the four room dwelling
and large barn were not also con-
sumed.

The Headless Walker.

If a man without a head walked
toward you, would you faint, run or
fight? Such a question sounds like
fairy tale happening. but 1t isn't [.
Do you remember, as a child. when
the chickens were killed for Sunday
dinner? Their heads were placed on
the block and quickly severed with
one swing Of the Ak. Then the be-
headed animal was released and ran
around the yard for a few moments
During the World War several in
stances were reported OF soldiers be-
headed by a cannon shot who took
several steps before they fell. Their
comrades, depressed by the loss of
the man, suffered considerable upset
because of the gruesome sight.
The explanation for this strange
happening is a very simple one. You
and I, when we walk, do 50 without
necessarily using our brain for the
process. When you take long walk
do you think, Now | will put my
right foot forward. Now / will put
my left foot forward" Certainly not!
YOU walk along automatically, never
giving a moments thought to the fact
that you are walking. The reason for
this Is that you. walk, not from the
brain, but from the spinal cord. 1t IS
a good thing that we are so construct
ed or we should fall more than once.
Walking, as a matter OF fact, is
merely a series Of falls, and as we
throw our foot forward we prevent
ourselves from falling. Again, as we
begin to fall we extend the other

Your Baby and Mine
What to Do if the Child Is Burne
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

What to DO if the Child Is Burned.
Most mothers feel that they know
what to do in the case of an emer-
gency, but, sad to relate. most Of them
won't. When the need arises, their
thoughts are so muddled that they
can't remember what to do for what.
1t usually takes some calm outsider to
do the simple things which a mother
might have done much sooner had
she been able to collect her thoughts.
1t is better to keep one idea firmly
in mind than to know half a dozen
things to do. In the case of a burn
many persons think that all that is
necessary is to exclude the air, and
so they cover the burn with -four and
let 1t go at that. This should not be
done.
A burn is acid-you1l just have to
take my word for that-and unless
it is so terrible that one dare not take
any chances with it at all, bathing 1t
first with lukewarm water in which
baking soda has been dissolved-be-
fore dressing it with vaseline or some
other bland Oils the best thing to do.
One may even wet a small burn and
rub it with cake Of white pure soap,
and then dress 1t with oil.
The best remedy for burns in gen
eral is d mixture of linseed oil and
lime water. A bottle of this should be
on every kitchen shelf. This is called
carron oil. and the lime water neutra l.
ICES the acidity of the burn and the
oil excludes the air. Never put cot
ton on burn, always use gauze, or II
this is not at hand a fine linen hand
kerchief. Soak the dressing well with
the carron oil and wrap. Leave the
dressing in place and soak on more
oil and wrap. Leave the dressing In
place and soak on more oil as 1t dries.
If the burn is very deep do not at.
tempt to pull clothing away from it.
but cut away from around all cloth
ing that does not come off easily and
then dress with the carron oil. A
scalding coffee burn treated this way
was so satisfactory that the doctor
did not even remove the wrappings
In cases where a burn stays wet"
and refuses to heal the doctor may
have to use picric acid salve; but in
ordinary cases the carron oil will be
satisfactory.
Always call a doctor except for
slight burns.

Unscientific Reduction.

1t is always better, If you are over
weight, to reduce scientifically, to
make a study of reduction just as
you make a study of running house
or business, or bringing up children.
But many women can't, or won't, or
mean to and never get around, to
learning scientific reduction. And yet
they are overweight and gradually go
on getting more so, and nothing much
is ever done about it.
Even spasmodic reduction is better
than none at although not much
better. But if you even lose five
pounds. at least that is five pounds
that you have to make up, leaving
you as you We're, so to speak, instead
of five pounds ahead.
I'm surprising you don't want to
learn calories and such things. All
right. read this list of highly fatten-
ing foods and decide which of them
YOU eat most Often-then cut out one
or two, or better still, all those fat
aking things from your future
meals. Here's the list Ham, pork,
bacon. fat on any meat, potatoes,
cream, butter. sugar, bananas, things
made mostly of starch or flour. The
latter means buildings, pies, cake. Ice
cream, of course, is cream. just as
butter Is. NUTS are 1dttenlnS-dnu,
of course, fried foods, for fat is fried
into things that otherwise might not
have a high caloric value.
Learn to choose wisely, and reduce.
Eat thin soup, not thick, lean meats,
not fat; cut out potatoes entirely, sub
stitute green's and salads with as
little dressing as possible. Have sim.
pie, not elaborate, buildings. don't eat
candy and don't eat between meals
anyway, and cut out the frills of a
meal, like the nuts and raiSins and
sweets. Take coffee black instead Of
with cream and tea with lemon in
stead of milk
Little by little YOU can simplify your
diet so you are not storing up extra
fat inside your body. Youll like your
food just as much

foot to save ourselves, thus complet-
Ing the acts necessary for walking.
There are some diseases in which
the spinal cord becomes affected and
the result is that the Individual must
direct his walking by the brain. In
stead of an even, smooth walk such as
those have who walk from the spinal
cord, we find present an artificial kind
of walk resembling the goose step,
where 1t is a "brain-walk.
The reason why walking from the
spinal cord Is a great advantage over
walking from the brain is that We
can spare the brain a great deal OF
trouble and continue to walk without
giving it any attention while we de-
vote our minds to other matters.
In fact, people who walk In their
sleep do so with as much evenness
and ease of step as they do when
awake. Dreams or other products OF
sleep are not nearly as regular or
well executed. But walking can be
accomplished with great perfection.

Beauty in Lamps.

Lamps can either decorate or dis
figure your home. It's your taste that
will ultimately decide as to which a
lamp should illumine. ebautify and
harmonic with its surroundings.
Fit the shade to the base. a small
lamp with big shade looks ridiculous.
The color effects of the lighted lamp
are not all. Consider what it will look
like in the daylight. If the base is a
short one, long fringe on your shade
will make the most beautiful shade
and base ugly, and out of proportion.
When a shades too small for lamp
the mechanism of the lamp is revealed
diSpleaSingly.
There's the matter of appropriate
ness also to observe. A large oriental
lamp in a simple breakfast room is
obviously out of place. a simple lamp
will fit into almost any room, but
a fusSy, fancy. lamp harmoniZeS with
few. Lamps of neutral colorS can be
moved from room to room, but ornate,
overdressed lamps of gaudy colors
are difficult to place.
Nothing looks worse than a room
that's overcrowded with lamps. 1t
not only looks bad, but it's uneco-
nomical. The usual cause for this
ugly condition is the fact that the
lamp shades are in dark materials.
and they don't spread the light. AS
result two or three lamps are re-
duired to do the work of one. The
number of lamps you can taStefully
place in room depends upon your
own ingenuity.
Some lamps are better adapted TO
special rooms than others. Light

fon or light-colored parchment For
the library and dining room, parch-
ment and the more formal silk shades
are proper. Boudoir lamps, light friv
olous affairs. enliven the guest room
and bedrooms. Hall lamps are usual
ly tall, and diffuse warm colors of
welcoming nature.
Lamp bases may be beautifully
made out of brass, iron. copper, wood,
bronze, porcelain, and even silver.
Their beauty and ugliness depends en-
tirely upon their design and workman
ship. Pottery lamp bases are grace
full affairs for table lamps, and their
texture blends well with the various
materials used for shades. Pottery
bases come in Wedgewood, French,
Italian and Chinese designs.
The shade may be in any variety
of material and design. Parchment
shades mounted with old French and
American prints are beautiful things.
