Back from the Laundry
In days of old when knights were bold
And sheet iron trousers wore,
They lived in peace, for then crease
Would last ten days or more.
In those old days they had the craze
For cast iron shirts-and wore 'em.
And there was bliss enough in this
The laundry never tore 'em.

AVOID COLDS is ADVISE
OF NEW HEALTH OFFICER
Warns Against Exposure Dur
ing Changing Weather

Colds are spread among individuals
through the discharges from the
nose and throat. When you do catch
cold go to bed and call your physician,
is the advise of DR.. George E. Clarke,
health officer. One day in bed at
the onset of cold really saves you
money. If you try. TO- keep up you
lose time, weight, and energy besides
putting yourself in condition to con-
tract that dread aftermath of colds
pneumonia. During this changeable
weather, avoid everlasting and over
eating, drink plenty of water, dress
warmly, sleep plenty with your win
.dows wide open, get plenty of exer-
else, and above all things shun the
individual with nose. cold. - ..
49, Examinations Continue
The examination ;. of the. school
children has continued, throughout the
past week with an, ever increasing
response to the protection of the
children against diphtheria. - There
are no bad effects from, the present
method of protection DR.. q, Clarke
stated. Occasionally children over
IL years of age have a, slight fever
and are sick for few hours. This
quickly passes away, however, and
the protection against such a dis
astrous disease as diphtheria is worth
the illness of the reaction. Children
under IL are as rule not affected in
any way by the administration of
toxoid.
DR.. Clarke advises parents to pro-
tect the children's health in another
way, the proper care Of the teeth.
Many of the pupils have bad teeth
that could easily and inexpensively
be corrected, before winter sets in.
Help your children avoid toothache by
having their teeth examined and
treated by your dentist. Buy your
child tooth brush and teach him or
her the habit of thoroughly cleansing
the teeth after each meal. Your drug
gist or teacher can provide your
children with brushes at any price
you can pay. Clean teeth are less apt
to decay than dirty ones, and properly
cleaned teeth can prevent the spread
of decay but you must send your
child to your dentist to have the old
cavities filled.

was about three miles from where it was first agreed the food would be dropped, across the river and up on a hillside. The inStruc- tions given the aviators were to drop the food as near the fire as possible. When the plane circled over the place neither man was in sight, but the aviators knew that at least one of the prospectors was at the signal fire because of the rapid increase of the smoke from the signal fire. At the right moment Pilot Howard told Me chanic Smith to "let Ter go" and the release was pulled. Both big bags sailed to the ground togeth- CT within 150 feet of the fire The last seen of the bags was about 50 feet fro mthe plane heading al most horizontally for the earth as though in a hurry to get there.

KETCH|KkN A|RMEN DROP FOOD, SUPPLIES
 ID PR0sPECT0Rs

Pilot Ray Howard and Mechanic BurraS Smith of the plane North bird, Pioneer Airways, J. V. Hlck- ley Ketchikan agent, completed novel stunt recently in dropping food and supplies to Wendell Daw- son and William Fromholz in spe- cially designed bags in the upper reaches of the Le Due River region, in the Ketchikan district.
 All details were figured out in advance by Dawson, Howard and
 Smith. At first it was thought
 that parachutes would best serve
 the purpose, but since each bag of food weighed about 150 pounds and were to be released from the top of the pontoons, this was ruled
 out as too cumbersome and un-
 wieldly.
 Finally it was decided that the
 best method would be to make a
 bag about 8 feet long and point ed end, and an inner bag con- taining the food with ground cork all around the inner bag to take up the shock. This required a lot of work and each detail was care fully carried out.
 ! The release was a device con- sisting of knife operated from the cabin, cutting the binding straps simultaneously, and releas- ing both bags the same moment. The plan worked perfectly, says the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 The plane took off from Ketchi- kan. It scared to 500 feet to cross the mountains and then de- scended within 200 feet of the ground at the time of the release. The weather was perfect for vis- ibility. The aviators saw the smoke signal which Dawson and Fromholz had made. These two men went in overland and were on the scene at the time. It was arranged in advance that should the men be in distress or need as- slStance they would light three signal fires, otherwise one hignal lire was the sign to drop the SUD- plies as prearranged.

SCIENTISTS WRIST NATURES SECRETS

After being buried for ages ill the fossil beds of northeastern Utah. the largest skeleton ever discover Cd on land now stands in the Carnegie Museum at Pttsburg, striking example of the monsters which roamed the earth during the Age of Reptiles, many millions of years ago.
 This skeleton which unlike that recently discover on Glacier Island Alaska, is that of Brontosaurs, of the dnosaur order of reptiles 100 feet long and 2O feet high In life the animal weighed perhaps 70 tons Alongside of 1t the Alaskan mystery would seem as extremely small relatively as a dog beside horse
 The fossil bed from which it was taken is the most extensive deposit of dinosauIian and other reptan remains discovered, exceling anything ever found in Interior Alaska the G0b Desert. It was found m 1919 and the site is under the protection of the Nat onal Park Service More than 200 tons of bones and other material of scientific value have been removed for study and exhibition with very little duplication of specimens.
 According to statement by the Park Service, it s the belief of scientists that these prehistoric animals originally imbedded in a sand bar in some ancient river This sand turned to sandstone and was covered y thousands of feet of other strata of rocks the whole later having been forced into upright position by great volcanic upheava which left the fossil bed eX posed on a mountain top
 Through the patient labors of scientists who are continually exploring among such records preserved in the rocks as well as among the ruins of ancient civilization salient facts n the worlds history which were totally unknown few years ago are being brot t0 gIt. And exploration work in Alaska, by such renowned scientists as Fr B. R. Hubbard S II. of the Unve sity of Santa Clara Professor Hdrka of Snlih sonian and Dr. G1iggs of the National Geographic, have and are adding considerable knowledge to those ages of millions of years ago.

CHANGE POLLING DAY

Another reason why Alaska elections should be held in spring is in the late report of the Territorial canvassng board which has just rel ported final official returns scant month before the legislature convenes The old abi of distant precincts failing to return results owing to lack of communica ton and transportation, is passe.
 Only portion of the canvassng board has been the job but aside from that fact there is for months to roll by without without complete returns having been sent n not with Aaskas much boasted and modern arpane service, mail routes, train and steamer connections.
 To successful candidates these late reports work hardship for 1t is difficult ess for the aver age Alaskan to arrange his affairs in few weeks in order be absent two months and in attendance in legislative halls
