"The Nave clinic knows nothing regarding this eighteen day diet and will assume no responsibility whatever for it."
 Casualties in the diet trenches have been on the increase since the mania began to take on the propor- tion of an international obsession. Lovely Katherine Grant, who was awarded the title of Miss Los An geles" in the 1922 contest there, used a freak reducing recipe.
 Not many months of semi-starva- tion were required to reduce her to a state of extreme nervousness bor- dering on collapse. By this time. however, Katherine had acquired a "diet complex" She couldn't bring herself to eat even though she had lost more weight than she wanted to lose and was willing to begin gaining again. A year of care and rest were necessary to give her back the health and appetite she had lost by terrible fear of fat.
 The case of dazzling Barbara La Marr is even more tragic. Fright ened by the prospect of becoming too stout to play the. willowy siren roles for which she was admired, Barbara began to reduce with a vengeance. Her health broke and after a short illness she died.
 Then, to bring the story up to date, there is the recent death of Marietta Millner. None of the younger Hollywood stars had a greater chance for the top of the screen ladder than did this girl.
 With the end of her career In sight because of creeping avoirdu- pois, Marietta consulted the widest of the faddists, ate the meagerest of meals. Weakened by her starva-

Last Saturday evening, in the Palace theatre. Paul A. Harsch, C. s. B., of Toledo, Ohio, Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bosto a., Mass, delivered a free lecture on Christian Science; The Power [ Good" under the auspices of the First Church of Christ. Scientist, of Juneau. The lecturer said in part:
 "In the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Edd, it's author, thus defin e s .'gcod,' God; Spirit; omnipotence; cmniscience; omnipresence; omni- action" (p. 587), and it is proposed i to present the subject of Christian Science here from the standpoint just illustrated, that is, of good and it's power-power inherent m it, constantly being manifested by it. and inevitably lifting mankind upward and onward to God.
 "Deep-seated in the heart of every one of us t:lc1c dweils de- sire to know more about good, a yearning to attain to the secret place of the most High" to that point .of understanding whereby good may be brought more largely and more specifically into daily ex- perience and there retained and used.
 Nov, primarily, the desire for good-for the guidance and con- trol of all-intelligent Mind, God must exceed all other desires. The seeker for divine good must be able to Say with David, AS the hart panteth after the water brooks, Sc panteth my soul after thee, O God. ? Such desire is prayer-a prayer that is always answered. There are no exceptions.

 Dr. William Salent, in charge oft pharmacological research in the Biological Laboratory of Long Island, has conducted long series of experiments by subjecting anil mals to long and short lasts.

ties of literary form" Thomas Jef- fersOn speaking more particularly of his own compilation of portions of the New Testament, gave this as his opinion: A moro beautiful or precious norsel of ethics I have never seen: it is a document in proof that I am real Christian, that is to say disciple of Jesus. :"
 This is the book that Mrs. Eddy loved as no other book. From earliest childhood she studied it. pondered it's precepts, and guided her life by it's rules and standards. For three years after her discovery of Christian Science, which oc- cured in 1866, she lived constant 7 with her Bible, seeking through iSs inspired pages to find the Science Of Christ healing which had come into her experience. It was her only textbook, and she describes this quest as a most joyous, up- lifting and beautiful This was a logical result of her training and environment as well as her own natural inclination.
 Through those busy years she was being prepared in countless ways for the stupendous work that was to be hers in later life. Many of her close associates were men and women of deep learning and great religious intuition. Her whole tendency was along these lines ana it was not strange that she should have been led in due time to the great discovery of Christian Sci ence.
 The universality of good is il- lustrated by the entire Christian Science movement, broad, and yet 60 varied in it's phases that none seeking good through its channels need be disappointed. By means of simple hut complete and pes- fectly operating group of activities provided by Mrs. Eddy. this Christ ly movement proceeds on its re- demptive way.
 Our joyous purpose, then, should be to search and seek, more ear- nestly than before, for a larger faith, deeper humility, a clearer insight into good, that we may ex- press in daily thought and decd more of that goodness that is of God alone"

 Tiger and Roberts Draw
 Tiger Layson, the pugnacious Fili- pino who has appeared on all the cards this season but heretofore against men far heavier than hinl- self, was more evenly matched Saturday night when he went against Young Eddie Roberts of Tacoma, clean, shifty, and cour- agcous. The decision was a dra and it was cheered, for it came after one of the most ferocious bat ties that have been witnessed in Juneau. The Tiger was vicious ill the clinches and terrific at in- fighting. Laymen thought Rob- arts made mistake in permitting too many clinches that Layson used to such good advantage. At boxing the Tacoma boy had the edge. Both men fell out of the ring twice, once they went over the ropes together and once the Tacoma boy had to defend himself through the ropes when his feet were in the ring and head and torso outside. The fight was at terrific pace and the thrills kept the audience in a con- fstant uproar. The decision was unanimous and was popular with the crowd, which cheered the an nouncement of Referee Harry Sper- ling.
 Tee-Bone Lasts Quick The curtain-raiser lasted quick Iunboat Gus, introduced as Tee Bone Gus was c heered as was Young Sharkey, the Filipino, who was introduced as Tomatoes. The fight started fast and furious, but the Filipino took Tee-Bone's meas ure quickly and the fight ended in knockout in the first round Gus had been down once before in the round.
 Firstclass Smoker
 The smoker was one of the best ever staged in Juneau. There was not a dull spot on the card. The fighting was all clean, and the fighters finished in the best of hu- nor. Roberts fairly hugged his Filipino antagonist, the veteran Tiger

 Collier Challenges Winner
 Just before the main event, Joe Collier, veteran of many a battle in Juneau squared circle, entered the ring and challenged the win ner of the main event. He was greeted with cheers and boos- mostly cheers, however, indicating very clearly that he has warm place in the hearts of Juneauites. The smoker was under the aus pices of the American Legion Post Commander E. F. Hermann was master of ceremonies.

to Mother
Mrs WAITER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Mr.. Coolidge has written very
feelingly about his mother, long
since dead. 1t would have been
strange if he had done otherwise.
Men have been writing touching
things about mothers since the dawn
of literature. Indeed. most of the
beautiful tributes to motherhood
have been penned by men and the
lOveliest songs upon the subject have
been sung by sons.
But to paraphraSe Mark Twain
famous comment on the weather: In
spite Of all the talk, very little has
been done about it.
I 90 not speak OF individual moth
ers of individual men. Millions of
men are charming and loving and
devoted to their living mothers.
while millions OF others like Mr..
Coolidge cherish the emory OF
their dead mothers asa hallowed
thing.
I speak of that sublumated per-
feet being-the mother-that symbol
of maternity so long lauded in inn
mortal song
She has, sad to say. had very
little done for her excepting singing.
Even in this enlightened age moth
ers are the poorest paid of all citl-
zenS The United States govern
ment spends more money on hogs
than on mothers.
The maternity fund is low. The
interest in it, as evinced by men. is
lower still. Those who wipe surrep-
titious tears over the eX-President's
tribute probably will take it out in
crying Our states are run by men
who have long given lip service to
motherhood, and very little else.
Vast buildings are erected and
great projects finished while moth
ers. held in sacred esteem, die by
thousands during childbirth for lack
Of a little more intelligent care and
the expenditure Of few paltry dol
lars.
The mothers Of large families are
accorded no consideration by
state or nation Their labor is not
even accounted worthy a place in
the list of important industries. 1t
is not those who devote themselves
to motherhood who receive most
generously from men. The parasites
always have Jared better in every
civilization
Soldiers who fight arc given PEN
