skin troubles and will spoil the looks of the fur And again, the presence of any form of carbolic acid in the dipping solution is in danger of producing carbolic poi Soning
 Brushing is better for the fur than bathing or dipping. It removes the dirt and stirs up the circula- tion in the skin, increasing the se- cretions of oil in the glands at the base of the fur.
 Frequent brushing and at times combing will greatly improve the looks of a fox's fur, while bathing or dipping will ruin it.
 It is surprising how often one will hear someone recommend the use df "carbolic soap." .of some kind, to use in bathing foxes; but as stated before in these articles it's use is accompanied by danger.
 A foX's skin is as tender as 3 hu- mans and far more ahsorptive. A safe rule is never to use anything on a fur bearer you would not use on yourself.
 Many times the question has been asked how to tell before she Whelps if the mother fox will have milk to feed her puppies. By catching her and feeling along the belly and in front of the hind legs, three ridges of fat will be noted, if the fox is healthy. This fat should be there in the early fall and winter. When mating season comes on, the fat along the center line of the belly will likely disappear, but will come back shortly after conception.
 AS a general thing such fox will have plenty of milk and feed her puppies, and show no disposi- tion to carry her puppies out of the nest box and around the pen in her mouth, and perhaps want to bury them.

regions, Its normal winter coat is white, while in summer pelage is brown and taWny. The blue fox is dark bluish in winter and tends toward broWnish in summer. There are intermediates in which the coat may be spotted blue and white, or the blue and white may be blended, producing a dingy or smoky-White appearance Such mottled animals sometimes occur among blue foxes where there have been no white foxes. It is noted more frequently, however, where white and blue foxes are ranched together.
 The white fox is more common in the wild than the blue, and smoky white foxes are sometimes born from blue parents; but on islands where blue foxes have been intro duced and raised pure white fox is exceedingly rare.
 The prices usually paid for the different skins are governed large ly by the relative scarcity of the animals and the market demand. On the raw-fur market, blue-fox skins generally bring from three to four times as much as white At present both color phases are pop ular, the natural blue being pre- ferred by the more exclusive trade; to supply the popular trade, white skins are dyed blue, steel, taupe, and rose.
 In general, it may be said that prime blue-fox pelts produced in practically every section of Alaska are bringing good prices on the raW-fur markets.

INTRODUCTION

Alaska is Q comparatively new in dustry, at present confined chiefly along the southern coast, including the Aleutian Chain. It is of par ticular importance to Alaska, since 1t utilizes outlying islands that are 0f little or no value for agriculture.
 In island blue-fox raising the fox es are allowed to roam over an en- tire island, where they choose their mates and make their dens. Tn the early days the foxes had to forage for their food, but now practically all ranchers feed them. This sys- tenn has proved profitable, and, to- gether with the increased popular ity of fur for apparel has led many persons to lease certain islands from the United a,ates govern ment and to claim others by squat ters' rights for engaging in fur farming. So great has been the de- mand for islands that practically all the desirable ones under the control of the Department of Agri- culture are leased for the purpose.
 A number of individuals in Alaska have attempted to raise blue foxes in pens, and recent reports show that some of them have been suc- ceSsful In addition, filters of blue foxes have been produced in cap tivity at the experimental fur farm of the Biological Surrey, in New York State, as well as on ranches in other parts of the United States. A number Of ranchers and raW-fur buyers maintain that blue-fOX pelts produced in pens lack the quality and finish Of those produced in the wild. This has been held to be the case with silver foxes also. Ap- proXimately 90 per cent of the sil- ver-fox pelts sold on the raw-fur market in 1924, however, were from ranch-bred animals.
 Because the number of islands available for fox ranching is linn tied, those already engaged in the business should determine as quick ly as possible whether blue foxes can be produced profitably in pens. If this is found possible, blue-fox ranching can spread to the main land of Alaska, to Canada, and to the United States. With the re- sulting growth of the industry, there will be an increased demand for breeding stock as well as for belts.
 Blue-fox ranching is in con- dition similar to silver-fox produc- tion in that it is an industry of too recent development to be sup ported by the results of extensive study and research. Sufficient is known, however, to assist begin ners, as well as established ranch CTS, with information on some inn portant phases of the business, such as organizing the ranch, breeding, feeding, pelting and sani- tation.
 The information given in the fol- lowing pages is based on a study of the methods and practices which have been found to give the great est success on islands in Alaska.
 WHAT IS A BLUE FOX?
 A number of persons in Alaska and elstwhere mistakenly think that white foxes are found only in the Arctic, and that when they were brought to the Pribilof Islands and points farther south the climate changed the fur from white to blue.
 The blue fox is a color phase of the Arctic or white fox (Alopex), which is circumpolar in range, be- ing found particularly along the Seacoasts of arctic and subarctic TRAPPERS! Two Foxes in a day,
 with only two sets out, is my

A Commission for Nicaragua

The killing of a group of marines in Nicaragua has
led to new demands in the United States senate that
American occupation of that country be ended forth
with: and the whole subject doubtless will come in for
extensive discussion this winter.
In this connection, we are reminded that one Of Presi-
dent Hooveris most notable accomplishments to date
was the study he had a commission make of conditions
In Haiti. another nation where the American marines
have found lots Of employment. AS a result Of that
study, the Haitian situation at last bids fair to be ironed
out in a manner satisfactory to all concerned.
Could not something similar be attempted in Nicara-
qua? In our relations with that nation we have been
drifting. at the mercy Of events, for years. Would not
. repetition Of the Haitian investigation be valuable?

Capital Removal
(Grand Forks Herald)

y dIlU TOIkS f1cTdlQ)
The burning Of the capitol at Bismarck is followed
by agitation here and there for the removal of the
state capital to some other city. A Jamestown COM
mittee is working quite vigorously for the location of
the capital at Jamestown. In New Rockford, where a
movement to secure the capital was started some -earS
ago. when the erection Of a new building was under
consideration, is apparently reviving that movement. #
there appears to be a prospect that the capital is to be
own to present. and the ensuing rivalries will lead to
q prolonged contest with the result of which only a few
people will be satisfied.
Without undertaking to discuss the merits or dement's
of any Of the claims which have been or may be present.
ed, we suggest that If there is any question to be deter
mined, the first question is not whether or not the CAPT.
tai should be moved to a particular place, but whether or
not it should be moved at all. And no convincing argu-
ment in favor of removal has yet come to our attention.
The capital was located, as were most Of the other
state institutions, largely through political manipula-
tion. But In forty years a great many things happen,
and many ancient animosities are forgotten. Each Of
the major institutions has become relatively a fixture
whose status cannot now be disturbed without bringing
on q whole train Of complications. The state of North
Dakota has proceeded on the assumption that Bis
marck Is It's permanent capital. It has made investments
there In valuable properties other than the capitol itself,
and the people have accepted the location Of the capital
with what appeared to be general satisfaction. Removal
would be q costly undertaking., warranted only II the
general welfare Of the state itself Is to be materially
promoted thereby. Geographically Bismarck is fairly
central, and there IS no place In the state which Is as
easily reached from all points by rail.
without going into lengthy arguments on the subject
at this time, the simple and direct plan seems to be to
leave the capital where It IS.

The Lame Ducks Again

Those who are worried about the possibility of recall
citrant congressman forcing a special session on the ma
ton this spring really ought to join in the demand for
passage of the Norris anti-lame duck amendment.
AS things now stand, the tail-end session Of a dead
congress can force the converting of an extra session
regardless Of the merits Of the case-simply because a
clumsy and outworn constitutional provision has called
them back to Washington for a very brief period and
has made it imperative that certain legislation be passed
before they adjourn. II that legislation is not passed,
there must be q special session.: and a few earnest takers
can keep it from passing.
Under the Norris amendment, all Of this would be
changed. We would not have. short sessions OF lame
ducks, and We would not have to worry about the talking
to-death of needed laws.
That Is . point euinently worth bearing in mind.

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
ETHAN ALIENS r

On Jan. 10, 1887, Ethan Allen, IA
nous American soldier, was born at
Litchfield, Conn. He moved to Yer
mont in 1869 and took an active part
in that states controversy with New
York over land grants.
At the outbreak of the Revolution
Allen organized an expedition against
Ticonderoga. On the morning OF
May 10, TITS. he surprised the British
garrison and forced its commander to
surrender Gin the name Of the great
Jehovah and the Continental Con-
gress."
Allen later was sent on secret mis-
sions to Canada and did good service
in Montgomery's expedition. He was
captured near Montreal and sent to
England. Some months later he was
sent back to this country and, after
being held prisoner in Halifax and
New York, was exchanged.
On his return to Vermont, he was
breveted a lieutenant colonel by Con-
gress and became brigadier general
in the Vermont militia.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Heart Trouble

Question: M. j. writes: II have
been in bed four months with heart
trouble. My meals seem to make SO
much gas, which increases the heart
palpitation. Does diet affect the
hearth"
Answer: The cause of most heart
trouble is an excess accumulation OF
gas pressing against the heart. This
is caused by eating wrong combina-
tions of food, which combinations pro-
duce fermentation in the stomach
and intestines; also, by eating such
foods as dried beans, onions, garlic,
cabbage, etc., which always produce
a large amount of flatulence.
English Walnuts
Question: H. H. asks: will yor
please state whether English walnuts
contain carbohydrates? Are they
harmful to the Kidneys? Do they
combine with raw apples, and If so,
would that make a balanced lunch?
How many should n eat at a time?"
Answer: Most all nuts contain
some form of carbohydrate, and Eng
lish walnuts have about 13 per cent.
They have no special effect upon the
kidneys, o are they harmful. They
combine well with raw apples and
this makes a very good lunch. Two
ounces of the nut meats are enough
tc use for any m meal.
Herpes
Question: r. G. asks: "What is
the ans of a skin disease called
Herpes? How can it be cured?"
Answer: Herpes can be cured
through removing the systemic cause
which is a form of acidosiS. Send for

ANTIDOTES FOR COMMON rOT-
SONS

I..-y 0OAN0
Many people accidentally swallow
poisons while mistaking them for
medisines or harmless preparations.
II q person swallows a poison it Is
always important to act quickly, for
often a few minutes delay may mean
the loss Of life. Great care should be
exercised in Keeping all poisonous
| substances in such a way that they
cannot be easily obtained or mistaken
for non -injurious substances. 1t is
q good plan, to keep all supplies OF
ant, rat, or plant sprays or poisons
| under lock and key and out of reach
| Of small children. Never put bottles
| Of poisons in a medicine cabinet. and
it is also a good plan to label the
bottles POISON" conspicuously and
stick pins in the cork so that even IN
the dark one will be warned.
Vomiting should be induced in some
and not in other poisons, so you
should first try to find out the name
Of the poison, but II you cannot find
out, the safest plan is to, induce
vomiting and Immediately send for
help from a doctor or hospital. Here
ere some Of the nor common poisons
and their antidotes:
Arsenic and Paris Green: Cause
vomiting quickly, then give olive oil,
butter or sweet milk, and cause
vomiting again. Follow with more
milk, then give iron rust mixed with
water. Follow this with magnesia
and later castor oil and sweet spirits
Of nitre in water.
Lead: Immediately give plenty Of
epson salts, using two tablespoonful
in a glass of water. Also, use castor
oil or eggs and milk.
Blue vitriol or Copper: Use milk
of magnesia or soapy water or give
lime water or chalk and water. Fol-
low with sweet milk, or give eggs,
soapy water or flour mixed with wa
ter.
Iodine: Mix raw cornstarch Or
flour with water and make the pa
tent drink as much as possible.
Mercury: Give soap and water,
flour and water. o. raw eggs or milk.
Five minutes later be sure to cause
vomiting. This is very important, as
the mercury may be absorbed in the
intestinal tract and cause poisoning.
After vomiting give more eggs or
milk.
Lye: Use vinegar, castor oil. lemon
juice or milk.
Carbolic Acid: Use olive oil or raw
eggs followed by large dose of EPSON
or glauber salts. Flour and water
may be used, or diluted alcohol, ep-
som salts, milk or sweet oil, and do
not make the patient vomit.
Alcohol: Give large quantities of
very strong black ~unsweetened coffee.
Cause vomiting and keep the body
warm.
Ammonia: Use diluted vinegar or
acetic acid or lemon juice.
Hydrochloric, Mauriatic, Oxalic,
Acetic, Sulphuric Acids: Give weak
alkaline drinks promptly. Ammonia
In water, l tablespoonful to a half

Drifting Down a River

A homemade boat is slipping down the waters of the
Mississippi river, leisurely and quietly. It isn't going
anywhere in particular and it has all the time in the
world to get there.
And on the deck an old man sits with his feet propped
against the rail. J. W.. Preston is 10 years old. Once he
was an automobile upholsterer. His shop was always
crowded with work to do. But every now and then he
would leave his tasks at East st. Louis, Illinois, and 60
down to the river bank. He would see the shine of a
light far out. Then he would renew his VOW that some
day, when he was old, he, too, would be a vagrant Of
the waterways. He would be luled to sleep by the steady
splash of waves, he would have stars for candles, and
the wind across the water for an evening song. Some
day ..
And now the time has come. Preston goes drifting
down the long brown river, doing the thing he has always
wanted to do. He and the river have lots of time. Mel
ther is in any hurry.
Preston isn't any different" than most other men.
Nearly every man who has passed the eagerness of youth
starts to dream dreams, and the last one is based on
the peaceful way in which he shall rest a little while,
so he can be ready for the last clear call. Most of them
never achieve the period of waiting. Preston did.
We all desire a period for dreams, a time of laziness,
at the ending Of the way. We want to take a deep
breath: to see a far light; to close our eyes and feel
the current carrying us on and know that we don't
have to touch the oars. We can drift and drift and
drift, and if we miss one port Well make another.
So many of our adventures must take place only in
our hearts. So often we are so busy we haven't time to
think of them during the productive years. But there
comes a time to all of us, as it did to Ulysses, that
first rover of. the waterways, when We want to sail
beyond the sunset till we die.
And because Preston has a period of usefulness behind
him he can enjoy the heritage of laziness which is his.
He has earned the right to drift on gold-brown waters
through the day and black channels touched with drifted
silver in the night.
We are glad that he wasn't afraid to make his boat
and start down the river. And we hope that when he
heads for the final shore it will be just as the dawn
breaks on the river.
An old man who had the lazy wanderlust somehow
could catch the pulse of a new adventure more easily
If his boat swung into harbor as he drifted from the
night.
