GOVERNMENT IS CURING
 LEPROSY IN THE STATES

WASHINGTON.-I the past year three patients who had suffered from ieprosy were paroled from the lepro- sarium maintained by the United States Public Health Service at Car vile, La, as no longer considered 6 menace of public health, it is stated in report to the health service from hospital officials. A fourth patient was discharged from the hospital, said the report, because it was deter mined that he was not sufferer from leprosy.
 The report also disclosed that dur ing the 12-month period from June, 1925, to June of this year there were 62 lepers admitted to the institution, while 25 had absconded. Thirteen of the absconders, however, returned for readmission to the hospital. Since the Public Health Service assumed opera tion of the leprosarium, which for merly was known as the Louisiana Leper Home, about 499 patients have been hospitalized,. says the report.
 There were 29' fatalities occurring to patients in the institution as re- suit of their infections during the past year, which is estimated at the rate of about 112 per thousand.
 Hospital authorities are confirming to use chaulmoogra oil to large ex- tent at the institution, with view to checking the ravages of leprosy. Defi- mite improvement has followed in a sufficient number of cases at the hos pital, says the report, to encourage the patients in the continuation of the treatment.

SOME REGENT VIOLATIONS
 OF ALASKA GAME LAW

JUNEAU, Nov. 4.-The Juneau office of the Alaska Game Commission has received advices from Alaska Game Warden Frank Dufresne that, after repeated warning, Albert Ra- galyi, of Fairbanks, to either take out an alien fur dealers license or to cease buying furs, a case was filed against him as an alien dealing in furs without license, under the Alaska game law. Ragalyi is an alien who allowed his first set or declaration papers to expire and now holds his second set of first papers.
 When his place was searched, under warrant, a considerable number of furs, both manufactured and raw, were found. Some of the pieces were being manufactured for persons in Fairbanks, and Ragalyi admitted own ership of others. 4 case was filed against him for dealing ln furs with out having a license. He demanded a trial before the commissioner, was found guilty and fined $500, which he refused to pay, stating that he would serve it out in jail in preference A few days after being committed to jail he paid the remainder of the fine and obtained his release.
 The furs belonging to persons who were merely having Ragalyi manufac- ture them for them are being return ed to their owners as ownership is proven. The remaining furs. which belong to Ragalyi were forfeited by the court and wills be sold at public auction,

BITS ON ALASKA GAME.

The nest of the Little Ross snow goose has never been foun d. It be- lieved that they breed on undiscov- cred polar lands. s1 White foxes are being successfully ranched at Teller and Shishmaref, on Seward Peninsula :,
 
 The large trout inhabiting Summit Lake, on the Richardson Highway, are technically known as the Togue or Great Lakes trout. .&Inv Lake Su- perior, specimens have been taken weighing from 60 to 100 pounds each Trolling in the deep water is the fav- orite way of catching them.
 
 It is unlawful to shoot fur bear ing animal in Alaska with a shotgun. Bears live to ehe sixty or seventy years of age.
 A goose banded by Frank Dufresne, game warden for the Alaska Game Commission, at the mouth of the Yu- kon river, was killed by gunner near Oakland, Calf, six weeks later.
 In Batfin Land are found white caribou and white wolves.
 
 The Meade, Chipp, rColviIle and Kaparuk rivers, on the Arctic drain age of Alaska, embrace a deselate, windswept, untrapped area where thousands of white foxes roam roam in virginal freedom.
 The alien gun law of Pennsylvania is as restrictive as that of Alaska. The great grand daddy of all birds lived approximately a half million years ago. In appearance he appears to have closely resembled the com mon "sawbill" duck of today. Scien- lists say this earliest of birds dove and swam with celerity, but was quite wingless and had coarse fur instead of fine feathers.

DEPUTIES VOTE
Dill MONOPOLY
BY HARRY IL. FLORY
international News Service

PARIS, April 1.-The BRAND
government, after a bitter struggle,
has at length a balanced budget
within it's grasp.
The Chamber of Deputies, upon
adjournment this morning after an
all night session, had voted in
somewhat amended form all the al
dftional resources demanded by the
government in the interest OF a
balanced budget for 1925. The vote
was 236 to 159.
Success was due In large part to
the benevolent attitude adopted by
the Socialists of not voting on any
measures which the government
made question of confidence
The project, adopted as 1t will
go to the Senate, was saddled at
the last moment with a provision
requiring the government to under
take monopolies in all oil and sugar
sold in France. These measures
were included in the project despite
government opposition.
Finance Minister Peret is or the
opinion that France will have to
pay heavy indemnities to American
and other oil interests already doing
business In France. The govern
ment is fearful that the establish
ment of a monopoly will upset the
debt negotiations with Great Britain
and the United States.
It is estimated that the oil in
dustry in France now represents
1000, 00O, 900 francs investment OF
English and American capital and
the government will be hard pressed
to find funds to take over the in
dustry.
The BRAND government conf.
IDENTIFY expects that the American
government may take retaliatory
measures.

AS we take stock of the year
now passing into history and look
forward to the New Year 1t is well
to remember that whatever of sue
cess or failure we have met-what-
rel achievement or loss we have
experienced may be charged to our
faithful persistence in effort on one
hand and u indolent indifference
to opportunity on the other.
Surely we must agree that we are
the makers of our own fortunes in
the sense that we must fully CO.
operate with the powers of spirit
ual influence and social inviron-
ment If we hope to achieve the
best.
Therefore let us take stock of
ourselves. Let us seek to discover
u assets and liabilities and try
to acertain our moral and spiritual
standing.
We have had a splendid year
of material prosperity. What gains
have we made in the realm of
character and things spiritual which
make for growth in character?
Are we prepared to enter the New
Year with the inspiration of a
challenging program of life and
service and are we ready to attempt
that program with faith in God
and dare through that faith to hope
for victory?
Let all of us read the sermon
on the mountain. Matt 5, 6. and 7,
and pray that the Holy Spirit may
send to us the truth and make 1t
live in hearts.
All are cordially invited to come
and worship with us Sunday morn
ing. Come let us sit down together
at the table of the Lord and feast
our souls on the bread of life.
