The hands and fngernails respond more
readily to daily care than any other part Of the
body, yet in our daily identifying routine the
care of the hands, which includes our manicure,
is most often the last part of the toilette to be
considered.
A thorough manicure once each week, with
general going over each day, should be sufficient
to keep the nails in a well cared for condition.
In shaping the nails, the contour and gen.
eral characteristics Of the hands must be taken
into consideration. If the hand is short and
pudgy, no one is led to believe that the fingers
are long when the nails are allowed to extend
beyond the finger tips. A more suitable length
for the nails of this type hand is to allow them
to taper only to the finger tips, keeping the cor
ners and edges of the nails filed close at the sides.

pneumonia.
The germs of influenza set up q violent in
hammation in the breathing organs. The tissues
become inhamed and their powers Of resistance
to other germs are weakened. Along come the
germs of pneumonia. They find just exactly
the soil upon which they thrive. Then there is
serious trouble.
Some diseases, then, prepare the way for
other diseases. Some diseases extend rather
widely their fields Of operation. Instead Of

NCENE, happy home. Young hus-

~ ally good dinner. benevolently
offers to wash the dishes. Fifteen
minutes elapse after dessert has
been served. Wife looks significantly
at coffee cups on table and makes
an involuntary move.
Husband: do sit down, dear.
Didn't I say I'd wash up?" He con-
tinues to smoke. Half an hour later
wife rises with a sigh.
Wife: Don't bother tonight,
darling. Really ! don't mind dish
washing" she lies cheerfully. All
she cares about is getting the darn
thing over with.
Husband: mo. I said I'd wash
them and I will. But you women
are funny. Because a little work
has to be done, must 1t be done this
minute? Can't 1t wait an hour or
two?' He goes into he kitchen by
himself, and presently come SOUNDS
Of great clatter and splash. AIS a
tinkling crash as Of fallen glass.
With unbelievable g~entleness the
wife calls out, What did you break,
sweetheart" TO which the husband
replies:
did we really use 50 many
dishes? What for? Anyway, what's
the idea of washing dishes after
every meal when we've got plenty
Of unused ones in the cupboard?"
A mans idea Of simplifying dish
washing is to avoid it as much as
possible. Impractical, from the
overly conscientious housekeeper's
point OF view. yet, truth to tell, It
has led to several inventions which
make dishwashing o endurable.
There are several ways Of reducing
the number Of dishes to be washed,
and also to make the job itself
easier.

NNE day Knarf-the little

to find a hat on a chair Is not
at all, for hats have to be ply
somewhere when they are not coVer

not the best place for 1t, it is bet

"Hooray." shouted Knarf the mo-

up on it at once and 60 scampering
helter-skelter over it as merrily as
you can imagine. Was the hat
ruined? Not in the least. Shadows
weigh SO little that not even q felt

Bye and bye they grew tired Of
SO much running about and sat
themselves in q. row on the brim OF

TO hang on hat-racks and to put in

Alaska Notes Gathered From Tsrritevial
 Exchanges.

That the Secretary of the Interior has agreed, at the suggestion of Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, to establish spe tciai rates on the Alaska Railroad for students at the Alaska College and School of Mines, was the word recent fly received by Dean Ernest N. Patty, of the College.
 The rate will go into effect at the be- :ginning of the next academic year in September, and from that time Col ilege students will receive round-trip tickets for the price of one ticket A student who comes from Juneau, for instance, will buy ticket at Seward son his way to Fairbanks in the fall ;and he can return south over the rail- road without additional cost. This ar- arrangement is expected to add to the nonresident enrolment at the College by cutting down the cost of trans lportation.

at the Government Hospital, his death being attributed to diabetic gangrene.
 Mir. Bolte had been bothered by lack of circulation in his right leg for q year or more, but, not believing the trouble serious, did not seek medical aid. His condition became steadily worse until finally, several weeks ago, he entered the Government Hospital and shortly thereafter his foot was removed below the knee. He ap- peared to be making satisfactory pro gress for a few days, but it became necessary to operate again, the leg having been removed above the knee on the second operation. The opera ton was without avail, however, the disease having made such progress that it was impossible to check it.
 William Koroff, who pleaded guilty at Fairbanks few days ago to pos sessing a firearm without first having obtained an aliens special license, was sentenced to six months in the federal jail and fined $500 when he appeared before United States Com missioner M. R. Boyd. The penalty was the maximum prescribed by law. Koroc admitted owning a Luger auto matic pistol, contrary to the provi- sions of the Alaska game law.
 The commissioner, in passing sen tence, among other things, said: "You are an alien and have been a resident of and around Fairbanks for a good many years, earning your liv- ing for the first few years of such residence as a laborer, but you are now and have been for the last six or seven years living without visible means of support, and while you have never been convicted of crime you are notorious as a violator of various laws of this country. Your reputa- tion is bad. You are notoriously a violator of the law and being such I can see no good reason why you should not be given, for the offense, the maximum penalties it is possible for the court to lawfully give you"
