MUCH GRAZING LAND
 CLOSE TO RAILROAD


 There is an area of excellent grazing land, many miles in ex- tent, adjacent to the Alaska rail- road in the Healy district, accord ing to Dr. H. W. Alberts, director of agricultural experiment stations in Alaska, who has just completed an investigation of the range alnds,. says the Anchorage Times.
 The area referred to extends: west and north of Healy and em- braces all of the country from, Ferry east to the mountains. An examination made by Dr. Alberts disclosed the presence of an abund- ance of feed and in sufficient va riety to make ideal grazing for sheep. There are berries of various kinds. dwarf birch, dwarf willows, bunch grass and native red top, ,nb.ning to make just the kind Of f'et fo sheep grazing.
 E4oN Ioes rot a..ain much depth
 the region surveyed and during most of the winter the winds keep
 a'nost bare. so tlat sheep can sustain themselves the
 oxcept in case of r usually adverse conditions. The " temperatures which are oc a-
 recorded in that region
 d Lot prove disadvantageous in the opinion of Dr. Alberts, w..o points out that climatic conditio ! are less rigorous in the Healy dis trict than they are in some of tie old sheep ranges in the states.

THE CHAIN STORE
(Contributed)

Statistics show that the divi- dends resulting from chain stores are decreasing. In a few ways, perhaps, chain stores have been helpful. They have resulted in giv- ing the consumer lower prices, temporarily, for some commodities. But this could not be kept up for ever. Goods could not be sold con- tinually at cost or at loss for the purpose of advertising. Then the consumer had to pay more than ever. Our Wrangell merchants are to be congratulated that they have kept prices down to a level which frightened the chain store man when he considered coming to Wrangell. Could not something be done to make the mail order busi- ness less profitable? Would not a better unity of action among our dealers cut away half of this loss to our town? Customers would not nearly as frequently be compelled to send away for what they need. H. P. c.

NANCY PAGE
Hunt for a Home for the
Pages Begins.
BY FLORENCE LA dANKE.

Nancy and Peters favorite indoor
sport was looking for q house plan
which suited. They found something
wrong with every one. Either Il was
too simple or too pretentious, or else it
called for more bathrooms than they
could afford. Sometimes they saw o
house with just the right kind Of fire-
places, but then that home was sure
to be one with the dining room and
kitchen too widely separated. They be-
gan to list the essentials. A large living
room with fireplace, library. digni.
fed dining room, convenient kitchen,
small breakfast room or q porch which
could be used In Summer and trans
formed to glasSed-in room for Winter,
three bedrooms, two bathrooms, . play
room, storage space, fireplaceS in the
bedrooms. They certainly wanted much.
One windy March day they went lot
hunting They had decided to find q
place with trees already grown. They
wanted elms. No new allotments with
straight streets, treelesS and unshaded,
for them. They felt that rolling ground
would make more interesting setting
for the home, even though they knew
eiine SuCh Ao4ALiS 6kVuAu Wao Aa110 w
landscape and to take care Of later.
They realized that rolling and inter-
esting topography called for q more
carefully designed house. They could
not take any kind Of house and set It
on the rolling ground, lest the house
look like the hats which used to be
perched Oil top Of high pompadours.
The hosagD needs to nestle into its sur
roundiHgs and At them as well as the
modern hat fits the head.
It seemed to be an endless search, but
they were not discouraged yet.

Hiccup!

A reader complains that Just rubbing
his ear brings on hiccoughs. If the
barber happens to wipe the ear canal
when cutting his hair hiccoughs imme-
diately come on. II the man himself
washes and then wipes out his ear, the
hiccoughs Immediately commence. How
come, he wonders.
1t reminds me of one of my first
patients. 1t was Bill the Busy Bill
was, calculated, the busiest young man
in the county. Bill did q fine business
in the grocery line; ne monopoly, per-
haps, but Bill knew his groceries.
Bin breezed in-that was Bills con-
slant mode of approach-he breezed in
with an elephant cough" demonstrated
for me, and said sure he wanted an
examination, but store was full Of Gus
toners just then and two clerks laid
up with this flu, so how about a little
stuff for the cough and the examina-
ton later?
Being comparatively young and inno-
GEN., fell for this and gave Bill ga
little stuff" for the cough. Bill kept
right on with the elephant cough act.
I did examine Bills chest repeatedly
and I couldn't find thing wrong with
him. Bill was quite cheerful about 1t,
but was sore. began to suspect Bill
was victim Of hysteria, or else he was
a wonderful actor and he was trying to
put something over on me, the leading
physician of the county, In my opinion.
Lady Luck was with me all the time
in those days. She was with me even
In the mystery of the missing forceps
in my first major operation. She was
with me in Bills case, too One Mon
day morning Bill breezed into the office
with brand-new complaint. He didn't
mind the cough any more-he was get
ting used to 1t and guessed he'd miss it
II he lost 1t now-but what did know
about this-Bill took bath Saturday
night and he had been deaf in his right
ear ever since. There was Luck playing

Care Required for Spring Clothes

wrinkles and new looking. The task
can be reduced to minimum, however,
il the dresses are hung carefully en- coat
hangers just as soon as they are
taken of.
WOODEN frocks and the soft. light
weight velvets should be hung occa-
sionally where damp air can blow
through them. This will smooth out
many wrinkles. Wooden frocks should
be ironed on the wrong side preferably.
and with slightly damp cloth under
the iron. The cloth will prevent the
undesirable glossy surface being given
the goods, and it must be used when
the frock Is pressed on the right side.
It also prevents the tiny filaments Of
wool from getting scorched, as they are
quick to do otherwise, and so the use
OF the damp cloth Is best whether the
pressing is on the right or wrong side.
Frocks should be hung out of doors
occasionally, not necessarily in the sun
light, for this may fade the colors, but
where the air can blow through them
and so keep them fresh. The materials
that do not rumple, such as knit weaves,
should have this treatment. The frocks
should be put away where there is no
danger Of the weave getting caught on
hooks, nails, pins, ETC., that will pull
strands and make unsightly places in
the goods. If some come, pull the loop
or ends through to the wrong side,
where they will not show.

Money and Children.

| Money gives children bad hour or
so from time to time. You see. money
| Is g purely adult matter. Children
know nothing about 1t. They cannot
know much about 1t until they have
experience with 1t, and, Of course, that
experience Is long in coming.
/ Most OF the trouble children have
with money Is due to their elders.
Some of us are very careless about it.
We say grandly to the eager little boy
Keep the change" without even
glancing at 1t. We spend money with
q blithe and careless air that says
what is money to me? Not worth a
moments thought"
| That may be true, but It takes q Nfe-
4 time Of hard experience to prove n.
The children do not understand that
attitude ut all. They can accept 1t,
but If they do they will find themselves
in difficulties with these very people.
| Some of us are very close about
money. The children are never al
lowed to know about the family In
come or to have an interest In the
budget. They get no money of their
own. Everything Is bought for them
and they are allowed no word in the
| fully excluded from the lives Of the
children In such household. That,
too, invites trouble.
Purses and handbags scattered about
are sources Of trouble. The apparent
carelessness Of the grown-ups reflects
itself upon the children. II nobody
cares about the money, why not have q
bit? Why, these people do not even
know how much money ID in their
purses, so little do they care about it.
And that means plenty Of trouble.
We have to teach children about
money as we would teach them about
the use Of any other power they must
meet. First. set our own attitude right.
We are to be careful respectful, about
the money we have. It represents work,
hours Of ones life. It Is q symbol OF
service, and to be used with care and
discretion. There Is no question about
stinginess II we look at the meaning
and the use and the value Of money the
right way.
The family income Is to be budgeted.
Mother spends the household budget.
Father husbands the resources, attends
to the savings and the investments
Both work together In harmony. "A
the children come along they are given
each an allowance and taught to spend
lit.
Children begin their experience with
money by spending. They do not save
money In the true sense Of saving until
they are grown up. Saving must have

How Does the Liver
Purify!

Physicians tell us that the liver has
several functions. one of which is to man
ufacture greenish-yellow, bitter fluid
called bile, which, between meals, 10
stored up in the gall-bladder, but after
each meal is poured out into the intes-
tines. The bile is purgative and antisep.
tic or prophylactic In health it is your
bile that makes your bowls act regularly
and freely every day,--it is Natures
purgative. 1t is your bile that keeps YOUR
bowls pure clean and free from fermen-
tation (gas), putrefaction and decay. Re-
member that germs do not thrive where
there is fresh bile and there can therefore
be no fermentation to cause gas, nor pu-
trefaction to produce poisons or toxines
Also, as bile is Natures purgative, there
can be no constipation if the bile is flow
ing naturally and freely from the gall
bladder into the bowels after each meal.
But when the bile becomes stagnant
your bowls stop acting regularly and
the contents become a breeding bed for
the germs Of fermentation (gas), decay
and disease. These poisons (called
toxines) are gradually absorbed into
your blood and circulate all over your
body, poisoning, irritating or inAaming
your brain and nerves, your muscles and
joints, your heart, lungs, skin, kidneys,
and every vital organ Of your body.
Your doctor calls this intestinal toxae-
mia" and tells you that your system is.

What Are Calotabs-
How Do They Act?

Calotabs are sugar coated tablets, con-
tanning the minimum effective dose of
thoroughly purified and refined calo-
mel combined with assistants and correc-
tives. The calomel facilitates the expul-
sion of the bile from the gall-bladder into
the intestines and also serves as a mild
intestinal antiseptic. Every physician
knows that no other medicine can take
its place; there is no such thing as SUBJ
stitite for calomel. The assistants act
like salts, washing the calomel out of the
system and preventing its accumulation
and any possibility of danger. The cor
receives settle the stomach and bowels,
preventing nausea, sickening and grip
: ing effects. Calotabs, (and water)
therefore, give you the combined effects
OF calomel and salts in a perfectly safe
and delightful form.

salts, cascara, or. the many other simple
laxative syrups, powders and candy lax
atives you are merely wasting valuable
time. They only make you feel better
for day or two. They do not remove
the cause, for they do not promote the
expulsion of the bile which is Natures
purgative and intestinal antiseptic. When
you take calotabs you know that you
have taken a real doctors medicine. 1t
cleans you out thoroughly. Every inch
of your twenty-five foot canal, includ-
ing your stomach. small intestine and
large intestine is thoroughly cleared and
pure and your bile is flowing freely:
Next morning your system feels purified
and refreshed and you are feeling fine,
with hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat
what you please and go about your work;
there is no danger for Calotabs are per-
fectly safe and create no habit, except the
habit of healthy bowel actions.

Natures Danger Signals

When your car gets out of order you
can tell it. 1t is the same way with your
bile Nature gives you warning-not by
words, but by signals or symptoms. Your
doctor recognizes these danger signals
and you should also know them and in
stantly heed them. 1t may save you
much pain, serious illness and perhaps
big repair bills.
When the bile becomes stagnant in
your gall-bladder and is damned back
into your liver instead of flowing freely
into your bowels you, sooner or later,
begin to feel some of the following synp-
toms Your breath may become I'M
pleasant, your tongue coated, bad taste
in your mouth, your food (and tobacco)
loose their natural flavor, your food does
not agree with you; you may have heart
burn, gas, or futtering around the heart,
dizziness or blind spell; you may be
troubled withs-belching or frequent pas
sages of gas from the bowels; the gas
Balloons" your bowels and presses so
hard on the kidneys that it gives you
pain, soreness, stiffness in the small of
your back over your kidneys, making you
think you have kidney trouble at night
the gas in your bowels presses upon your
bladder making you get up frequently,
thus breaking into your sleep. In the
morning you are tired instead of re-
freshed. Gradually your health is injured.
Your complexion becomes sallow, muddy
or yellow-your skin may be disfgured
with liver spots or pimples; dark rings
may appear under your eyes, you may
become sleepless, restless and irritable or
blue and melancholic You may have
frequent colds or dull headache; your
bowels stop their free, full and natural
action; you have constipation, gas, putre-
faction and self-poisoning or intestinal
toxaemia," as the doctors call it. High
blood pressure, with headache and swoon-
ing spells, may result from continued
neglect.

while. In order to do this she must
care for them as Is their due.
The textile of a dress determines in
large measure just how 1t should be
treated. Silk should be pressed just as
seldom as possible, since extreme heat Is
injurious. It actually takes the life"
out of it. Just hanging some silks
taffetas, for instance-in a closet that
is kept warm because it is next to a
chimney will cause the textile to become
tender. This is due to the sizing in
the silk. It is impossible not to use the
sizing in some types OF silk that women
find desirable for dresses. In other In
stances the sizing Is used to give body
to the goods.
Knowing that pressing is not good
for silk, it is important to keep wrin.
kles from the textile. Therefore imme-
diately a silk frock is taken of it should
be hung carefully on coat hanger.
Never for a moment toss the frock on
chair or allow it to remain in rumpled
state. Parisians are punctiliouS about
such treatment of their frocks.
Cotton and linen frocks can be re-
stored to their pristine beauty by laun-
dering. If high sheen is wanted, use
a hot iron and heavy pressure. II a
raised weave or pattern should be
brought out, iron on the wrong side and
have a thick padding on the ironing

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo p.,ri

Q purpose, Q forward look, and children
never have that.
Early, about the eighth year Of their
lives, we begin letting them buy little
necessities out of their allowance. We
begin teaching them to keep accounts.
We extend their Buying. We teach
them to save little each week for a
coveted treat. We indicate ways Of
earning money.
When the child reaches college age
he should have q working knowledge OF
the meaning, the use and the value OF
money. He should be able to buy his
own necessaries, take care Of his own
checking account.
II we educate children in the use Of
money In this way, we will have less
trouble with pilfering and Its allied
interests.
