 In the closing hours of the last session of Congress the salaries of the Governor of Alaska and Secre- tary of the Territory were increased from $7,oOo and $500 to $1o,ooo and $500 respectively. The bill for the increase of the governors salary was first passed in the senate but when it reached the floor of the house it failed of passage because of Delegate Sutherland. He did not object to the increase but objected to the present incumbent receiving the higher emolument. The salary

HOW TO KEEP WELL
BY State Medical

In response to the request of a Min
all round antiseptic solution for use
in her household, the Minnesota State
Medical Association today devoteS its
weekly bulletin to antiseptics and
germicides.
Soap and water is the only safe,
effective, all round antisceptic solution
or disinfectant that can be universally
recommended for the household says
this bulletin.
There is no safe germ killing drug
or solution of a drug that will kill all
varieties and species OF germs. A solu-
ton that will kill one germ will be al
most certain to leave some other,
harder one behind to cause trouble.
Much work still remains to be done
by the laboratory scientists on antisep-
tics" these medical experts say. Re
cent important researches show, for
instance, that even the doctor cannot
always be certain of the effectiveness
of the solution he is using. For the
doctors information all antiSepticS
and germicides are measured as to
effectiveness by comparison with the
germ killing power of the phenol (car-
bolic acid. This research has shown
that even this standard is not absolute
and may occasionally leave loopholes
for some member of the germ colony
to crawl through.
HOUSE wives are therefore warned
not to be taken in by the glowing
promises of all round antiseptic ad-
vertisers. There simply is no such
animal.
A weak, inappropriate antiSeptlc
may be much worse than none at all
the bulletin warns, further. Many
now on the market are no more effec-
tive than peroxide of hydrogen which
was common standby in the house
hold a few years ago. Thase. like per-
oxide, kill such easily destroyed germs
as the typhoid bacillus but leave the
field clear and unccntested for
stronger patho-genic organism such as
the scarlet fever streptococis.
Supplemented by iodine or mercur-
ochrome from the first aid kit for
painting minor cuts and abrasions, the
house wife may much better put her
reliance on soap and water and sun
shine, the bulletin concludes. Any
other needs for drug solutions, such as
for douches or rrigations, should Ger
tainly be referred to the family physi-
clan.

City Charters

In some states a number of differ
ent charters have been framed by the
legislatures and cities are permitted
choice Of these. In other states
each city of a certain class Is per-
mftted to frame its own charter,
which, when it is approved by the
voters, goes into effect, provided it
does not conflict with the state laws
or constitution. In a few states the
legislatures specify the charter forms
for cities of various classes.
