George B. Grigsby, Democratic nominee for Delegate to Congress passed through Seward yesterday 'to carry his campaign for election in November into the Third and Fourth Divisions. His campaign, he said, would center on the question of elf-government for the Terri tory through a full Territorial form of Governmert such as all the other American Territories had before they became states He said that lie stands for ultimate State- hood for Alaska. He feels confident of his election.
 MT. Grigsby expects to devote about month to the Third and Fourth Divisions and to return to the First Division early in October to wind up his campaign there. ENCOURAGING REPORTS
 MT. Grigsby said that he had rel ceived exceptionally encouraging reports and direct promises of SUD- port from every section of the Ter ritory. He expects, he declard, to carry all four of the Alaska Divi- sions. He is confident that he will have an immense majority at Ket- chikan and in the southern re- gions of Southeast Alaska.

 "I am for Home Rule by the people of Alaska, as opposed to the present government of Alaska by Federal Bureaus.

caution you not to try It. You may
get along fine for as much as two min

The trouble with so many Of our
medical savantS Is they forget physiology
or II they bother at all about that, then
they ignore common sense.

follow DR.. Gueniot's suggestion and
breathe more deeply. Such an effort
can be kept up for only a few minutes
anyway. It will adjust itself. You
can't modify an automatic function so
easily as that, you know.
Perhaps some actual benefit may be
derived from the deep breathing busi-
ness, If one does not take 1t too seri-
ously, but Just try a few deeper
breaths now and then. The beneflt I
concede to it lies not in the taking IN
of more air or the absorption Of more
oxygen, for that really does not happen;
the good that may be done Is In
the possible freeing of the diaphragm
from the habitual restraint or inhibition
of routine sedentary habit and q more
euuable distribution of blood by the
freer action Of the diaphragm.
This Is physiology, mind you The
diaphragm is the breathing muscle, but
at the same time 1t pumps blood from
the general circulation into the heart
and lungs.

Deep Breathing Fallacy.

DR.. Alexandra Gueniot, for 80 years
member Of the French Academy Of
Medicine, retired at the age Of IS years
and has been devoting his time these
past % years to compiling a large work
on Duration of Human Life" The
doctor Is now SO years old and, accord
ing to an American newspaper CORE
spondent, he believes men do not die,
but kill themselves by eating too much
meat and not enough fruit and vege-
tables. More important still, the doctor
thinks they do not breathe deeply
enough. He says the average man takes
into his lungs only a quart or so Of air
in breath, some even less; whereas
a healthy person should fill his lungs
with 2 to quarts of air at a breath.
Let's chew this over and see how
much substance and how much blabla
there Is in it.
The lung capacity IS known as the
vital capacity, and 1t is measured by
means of the spirometer, such as one
may blow into. The amount of air q
normal adult breathes IN and out at
each ordinary quiet respiration Is APP
a pint, not quart, as the
French savant imagtnes. Then by an
effort one can tnhale an additional 8
or 312 pints. Or one can blow out the
same additional amount of air after an
ordinary quiet expiration. That would
make a total vital capacity Of approx
mately four quarts. The amazing
French doctor would have us make o
regular habit Of breathing up to our
vital capacity. Boys and girls, let me

Books That Stir the Imagination

the tale to the bounds set by nature,
but there is an element Of rightness In
them just the same. The bad Is over
come by the good. the unworthy sue
cunbs to the worthy. There is a pre-
MUM set upon goodness. Yet all is so
subtly worked out that the little folk
(and many an adult, tool are scarcely
aware that these elements are the very
essence of the story.
One of the delightful qualities Of fairy
stories Is that they encourage the mag
nation. Most children have vivid i'm
aginations, 1t Is true, but there are
many children sadly lacking in this
great help in a workaday world. Par
ents do not recognize the value of i'm
agination or they would encourage its
development.
Like everything else, it can be carried
beyond bounds. This Is a youthful
trait. It passes with the years, and q
vivid imagination then settles down into
an appreciation that there is a world
Of the mind in which pleasure can exist
apart from the mundane experience Of
the world about them. Such an appre-
citation is a godSend in periods of stress.
Persons lacking in imagination are
phlegmatic and commonplace.
It Is the imagination that fires the
minds of inventors so that they realize
new ideas can become realities. The
home of these realities is In the inag-
NATIVE brain. Fairy stories stir the
imagination along fine lines. 1t is well
for parents to see that fairy stories are
not left off the book shelves Of their
youngsters.

Your Baby and Mine


Acting as an arbiter In disputes IA
one Of the duties which befall the
writer Of such q department as this.
A. says 50 and so; B. disputes It, Now,
Mrs. Eldred, please tell US which one Is
right" In the following case a poten-
tial mother is eager to listen In on this
dispute, hoping to learn something
thereby. The children in this three
cornered argument are 10 months and
"a months old. The 18-month-old
child is bright, talks well In four-word
sentences and is possessed of a constant
sense of excitement. She walked at IA
months, but falls over when standing.
Her legs seem to be weak. The other
mother claims she has ricketts, and that
talking so early will cause her to be
nervous wreck, and perhaps stammer.
The 2-year-old child walks we'll, but
cannot talk. She points at what she
hungry. She tires easily, doesn't want
to be played with or touched and is
cross and fussy. Mother of the 49,
month-old child claims this child has
had ricketts,, which makes her backward
in talking.
Both children should have thor
ough physical examination, as neither
is up to standard. The description Of
their conditions gives a very poor pic
ture of what may be wrong, but the
outstanding characteristic of ricketts,,
the bony changes, are not mentioned.
Ricketts, manifests itself In the early
stage of irritability, inability to sleep
and a tendency to profuse head-sweat-
ing for no logical reason. The child will
refuse to sit up at an age when such
an activity is to be expected, later re-
fusing to walk. The appearance OF
teeth will be much later than usual.
If the disease Is allowed to progress
unchecked the bony changes become
more noticeable. Poor diet and lack Of
vitanin D, found principally In cod
liver oil and sunshine, fail to provide
the system with the properties which
will develop strong bones and teeth.
The result Is that the long bones
thicken at the ends Cat wrist and
ankles, the legs bend when baby's
weight Is put on them, causing bow
legs or knock-knees. The chest bulges
and protrudes in barrel shape and the
head grows box-like in appearance. The
child may have commissions on slight
provocation.
The child'S mentality is affected only
if he is so handicapped by ricketts, that
he is unable to have the normal ex-
periences a baby of his age should
have, and in no other way. The bright
baby is not going to have nervous pros
tration from talking nor will she STAN
mer from such cause.

Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

June 1s, 1S65.-An entirely erroneous
report was circulated in this city today
that the two monuments to the Union
dead which were dedicated on the Bull
Run battlefield q few days ago had
been demolished one night this week by
Confederate sympathizers.
This report is of the same sort as
that which was circulated by malicious
persons at the beginning of the Civil
War, to the effect that the Confederates
had removed the remains of George
Washington from the family vault at
Mount Vernon. It Is a well known fact
that all during the bitter war between
the States quiet remained always at
Mount Vernon. Whenever Confederate
and Union scouts happened to meet
there. they refrained from all HOSTILE
ties. as if on sacred ground. Recent
examination of the estate and the
mansion shows that, except for the
need of some repairs, it is in exactly
the same condition as it was before the
war began four years ago.
Gen. Welles called at the residence
OF a Mrs. Pelt, only few yards from
the first of the two monuments erected
by the Union troops, this week, in
memory of the dead comrades on the
Bull Run battlefield. on the very night
that the outrage was alleged to have
been committed. He said here, TODAY.
that the monument was intact and that
ne heard no rumors Of any attempts
10 lnJure 1t or the other monument to
Union soldiers.
The Goth and 3oth unattached Mas
sachusetts Heavy ARTILLERY, having been
mustered out of the service Yesterday.
called at the White HOUSE today to saw
good-by to President johnson a. few
minutes before o'clock this morning.
They had a band, which serenaded the
President In spite Of the earliness of
the hour:
President Johnson, although he is a
hard worker during the day, is an early
riser. He made his appearance this
morning, and IN a few remarks ac-
knowledged the compliment, thanked
the troops for their services, and on be-
half Of the United States congratulated
them on the Union success In the war
Just ended.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton OF Washington Is planning to pur-
chase Ford's Theater, on Tenth street
between E and F streets northwest, in
which the late President Lincoln was
aSsaSSinated. A committee representing
the association visited the interior of
the building today and found it in the
same condition as It was on the night
when the terrible tragedy occurred.
Inc Y. M. @. A. proposes to use the
building for restful lecture and music
hall and keep It also as a memorial to
Mr.. Lincoln. The War Department Is
reported to have given its consent To
the sale, and indications today were
that the deal would soon go through
satisfactorily to all parties, as Mr.. Ford
IS also said to be agreeable to the sale.

REGARDING thinFs that dsR 1r foI ssTa qsi
Peter Rabbit had 1t on the tip of
his tongue to ask more questions Of
Jerry Muskrat, but before he could do
so Jerry dived, hitting tina water with
his tail as he did so and starting
Grandfather Frog so that the old fell
low actually Jumped off his big green
lily pad before he realized what the
Rabbit could watch Jerry as he swan
under water. When Jerry's head finally
appeared above water 1t was right oppo-
site the Laughing Brook where 1t en-
tiers the Smiling Pool. Jerry turned
and began to swim up the Laughing
Brook and In moment disappeared.
Peter Rabbit scratched long ear
with a long hindfoot. Then he
scratched the other long ear with the
other long hindfoot. Peter does this
when he is thinking. suspect that
he has an idea that 1t helps his
thought. 80 Jerry Muskrat has q new
home" muttered Peter. We'll, If that
is the case, it ought not to be hard
to find. But why haven't noticed the
roof Of it I do not at all understand.
Probably it Is a little way up the
direction he took. I don't think he
need be so secretive about 1t. 1t is all
very well to keep secret thing that is
well hidden, but don't see any sense
in trying to keep secret something that
any one who passes can see. Certainly
every one who ever visited the Smiling
Pool saw Jerry MuSkrats old house and
knew whose it was"
Peter slowly hoped over among the
alders and made his way to the Laugh
ing Brook. 1t was swampy in there
and Peter got his feet wet. He didn't
mind this, though he had no intention
Of getting more than his feet wet. He
hoped along slowly, looking this way,
looking that way, and looking the other
way. In short, he looked every way.
He was looking for a house built by
Jerry Muskrat.
Perhaps" thought Peter, ''that roof
will not be very high. It's q new house
and perhaps he will not have built 1t
very big yet. However, If he Is living
In it, It must be of fairly good size. It
must be high enough for him to have
dry bed. 1t must be big enough for
me to find It. without much trouble"
But Peter didn't find 1t. He hunted
all through the swamp near the Snil-
ing Pool Then he made his way up
the Laughing Brook till he reached the
edge of the Green Forest and the banks

mantle attentions to Margaret, daughter
of Sir John and Lady Jane Stuart
Belches Of Invermay.
It was On q rainy Sunday morning
IN the Greyfriars' churchyard, near
sandy-Knowe. the residence Of the
SCOTS. that the future great novelist
and poet met his first love.
The congregation was dispensing
when young Walter, seeing Miss Belches
without an umbrella, offered her the
protection of his.
Ltmping beside her, he escorted her
| to her home, not far from his own.
His lameness. apparently, was no bar
against his attractivenesS; for thence
forth, over an extended period, Miss
Belches found 1t extremely agreeable to
Walk nome with him every Sunday.
The fact was that, despite his affiic.
ton, Scott was cast IN the very mold
Of Hercules" He was tail and hand
some.
News Of his sons attentions to the
young lady shocked the elder Scott.
Knowing that the young ladys pros
poets OF fortune were far above his sons,
he made It point TO call upon Sir John
and Lady Belchers and warn them.
If 1t is allowed to 60 on" he said,
1t can only involve all Of us in future
sorrow"
Sir John had heard nothing Of the
affair. He did not regard Mr.. SCOTS
alarm seriously.
II thank you," he told the lawyer.
but think you must he mistaken"
Perhaps II the baronet had accepted
his visitors view, the future Sir Walter
Scott would have been saved much pain,
Ignorant Of his fathers interference,
the young man proceeded with his
courtShip.
From :. letter Of Scott IN O frisnA ,.,.
learn that he considered Miss Belches'
| attitude toward him highly fatterinR
and favorable" Whether he Inisin-
terpreted her feelings, we do not know,
but letter from her was so extremely
| encouraging to him that he burst into
a mt of joyous weeping He wrote at
TINS time: Il read over her epistle about
10 times day and always with new adj
miration Of her generosity and candor."
SCOTS illusion of future married
happiness with Miss Belches lasted
more than f1ve years. However, in 1896,
| leaving his studies in Edinburgh for a
visit to her residence, he was surprised
to find himself received with a wholly
unexpected lack of warmth.
1t was not long before he was def
| nitely rejected. Miss Belches had given
her heart to another man, William
Forbes of the house of Lord Pitsligo,
later Sir William Forbes.
Scott later married, but he kept a
| sentimental remembrance of Miss
Belches to his dying day. 1t was
strange TACT that, prior to any mis-
! fortune that ever came to him, he al
ways dreamed of her.

Mildew may be removed from
white clothes with the following
solution: To each quart of water
(boiling) dissolve one tablespoon
full of chloride of lime. Put the
clothes in and stir them contin-

When lemon peel is used In
