JUNE 1, 1916.
 A mass meeting to discuss plans for a fitting observance of the Fourth of July was called by Mayor 3. D. Stewart for the following Mon day. At the meeting it would be decided what line of celebration to follow and how elaborate the pro- gram would be- Funds and com mittees also were to be discussed.
 The cause of the fire which de- stroyed the cannery at Metlakatla was not fully determined although it looked great deal like incen- diarism, according to w. G. Beat tie, superintendent of schools who had just returned from there. The fire started on the inside and on the side of the building from which the wind was blowing. The forestry boat Tahn was lying at the dock at the time and the crew secured some fine pictures of the fire from the start until the finish, MT. Beat tie reported.
 A picked baseball team from Ju- neau and Treadwell planned to leave the following morning on the White horse excursion and hoped to bring home the bacon. The trip was fi- nanced by Charles Brown who ar rangeo with nine other players to make the trip. The Whitehorse business men hung up a purse of $150 to the winning baseball team. Among those who were to make the trip were Brown, King, Gomez, Cloudy, Fossas, Worth, Lhoy, Mo Knight and Scott.
 Albert Vile, former postmaster at Iditarod, who had been in Juneau for the past three months, planned to leave on the Spokane for Skag- way. He intended to go to Fair banks and other interior points.
 Walter B. King, of the Thane of flee force in the accounting de- partment, expected to leave on the Princess Sophia for San Francisco where he planned to spend two months visiting at his home.
 The Alaskan tourist -oason start ed and the travel was increasing with leaps and bounds. The Spo- kane arrived with IA round trip pers on board. They spent the day visiting the points of interest around Juneau and the curio and postal card stores.
 More than fifty dollars were cleared from the tennis club dance at Douglas, given the previous ev- ening in the Mayflower pavilion to raise funds for the financing of at least four tennis players on the excursion leaving the next morn ing to Whitehorse.
 The banquet and entertainment given by the Douglas Island Wo- mans Club in the Labor Union Hall at Douglas the previous even- ing was splendid climax to the year of work and pleasure com pleted by the club. As surprise !! to the husbands, fathers and bro thers invited to the last meeting, clever farce was presented by members of the club.

 Water In Nose
 I am bothered with complete nose clog after each entry into the water. So far as know I do not get any water iti my nose but at night after swim I am unable to breath through the nose and there Is watery discharge. (B. s.
 Answer-You need examination and treatment by @ nose and throat physician. Evidently you have some chronic abnormality. Many swim rners use a spring clip to keep water out of the nose.

 Arswer-It would be more ap- propriate to call them lung spots. Not that inactive lungs cause them, but perhaps slow rnetabolisn does. Any kind of work, play, game, sport, exercise or activity that makes you breathe harder Is good for such trouble.

Your Baby's Health
Careful, Tender Treatment Necessary
 In Cleaning BabyS Ears

that may have gotten into the ear by accident. .
 For this purpose, use a solution of boric acid-two teaspoonftils to e pint of water. Old hot water bottles which have been lying about in closets, and which have filled all sorts of purposes, should not be used until they have had q thorough cleaning by repeated rinsings with boiling water. The tube attached to the bag also should be cleaned before any at- tempt is made to wash the ear. The hard rubber tip should be cleaned thoroughly in alcohol.
 The bag filled with the solution now may be hung at a height of about six feet from the floor. If the child to be treated is sitting on 8 bed or @ chair, this will give a fall of about three feet, which is sufficient pressure for the pur- pose. If more pressure is used, there may be pain from the force of the solution against the ear- drum or the inflamed tissue.
 If a large syringe filled with water or with the boric acid solu- ton is used, the tip should be held at an angle so that the water will not strike directly against the ear- drum, but against the side wall of the tube leading to the eardrum.
 
 Temperature of the solution should be tested by dipping the elbow Into the water, or by drop ping some of the solution on the inside of the wrist. If 1t is too warm for the elbow or wrist, 1t is too warm for the ear, and is likely to be painful.
 The head may be bent so that the water will run in and out. However, if there is much hard- ened wax in the ear, more force may be used to loosen 1t than is ordinarily necessary for washing the ear canal.
 Repeated washing with warm water will take care of such con- ditions. When the canal is inflamed, washing three or four times a day with a lukewarm solution will help.

SUMMER OPERAS
 GAIN IN FAVOR

Philadelphia (UP)- Encouraged by the largest advance subscrip- tion sale in its history, the Robin Hood Dell Concert society has open ed what promises to be the most successful season of summer con- certs ever presented in Philadel- phia. :.
 "A season of superlatives," said William K. Huff, manager, pointing to the names of concert artists and conductors who will appear through out the summer.
 Undoubtedly the most ambitious of these music festivals, this sum- mer's series gave early promise of setting a new mark for total att tendance. The season will extend to Aug. 2l, and will include the pres- entation of opera and ballet, to- gether with the regular concert pro- grams. As usual, the players of the Philadelphia orchestra offer the ba- sic musical fare.
 Iturbl on First Concert
 The first concert was on June 20, under the direction of Jose 1turbi' pianist and conductor who will di- vide his summer time between the Robin Hood Dell and the Lewisohn Stadium concerts in New York city. Iturbi, a high favorite with Phil- adelphia music patrons, was en- gagged as the principal conductor for the 1o36 series.
 The completed program lists the presentation Of four operns, Wofid- famous solo-artisls. the Ted Shawn Dancers. the Llttleficld Ballet, and guest-eonductors.

PARENTS

Are you off to visit the home folks during Johns vacation? Or have you decided to take that cot. tage on Lake UpaJusic' three hun- dred miles at the tires run?
 Perhaps this time, Mrs. Mother, it's an honest-to-goodness junket you're planning, across the conti- nent in train. several days and nights of 1t before the baby can lay down in peace and quiet and catch up sleep.
 If you are planning any of these things, doubtless you are worrying about the baby and his upset routine more than anything else. It's worth worrying abmout, but only to the extent of taking every precaution possible and preparing in advance all you can think of to keep him well.
 Transportation of food is the big item, unless you are nursing him. About this matter I certainly should ask the doctor. He may sug- gest, for 6 short run, that his regu- lar food be prepared and kept cold in e travellers ice-box or sterilized thermos
 May Favor Change of Diet
 Or for longer runs he may ad- wise changing the diet for a day or two or more portable forms, such as condensed milk Or milk powder, and breaking him in to 1t @ day or two beforehand. Perhaps he is getting them anyway, 50 that's easy. Any water used, however, must be boiled and for Ihis reason, and other req sons, pocket-siz "stove" should be part of the equipment.
 Enough bottles should be steri- lized and corked to carry you

Hooked Rugs Are COlorful

Making a hooked rug may seem a big undertaking if you've never attempted one, but it's really sur prising how quickly the work goes. No. Ce108 is for rug about 17x32 inches in size and the transfer stamps the design in actual colors on your own burlap. Gay red and yellow tulips with green leaves on a background of blue with dark CT border would be pretty. No. C01O9 makes a rug about 17x30 and comes in a blue hot iron transfer to stamp your own bur- lap. Make your own choice of colors for the background. The leaves of the waterlilies should, of course, be green, but the flowers may be pink, red, blue or yellow.

SALT PREVENTS HEAT
 EXHAUSTION

Formerly medical authorities at- tempted to distinguish sunstroke or heat stroke from heat prostration or heat exhaustion, though we hear less about sunstroKe today. The char acteristic picture of suilstroke was severe headache, flushing of face, partial or complete loss of con- siciousness, sometimes spasrls or convulsive twitchings, body temper ature elevated many degrees above normal, breathing laborlous or ster- torous (noisy) and pulse full and bounding. The skin feels hot and dry.
 The familiar picture of heat ex- haustion or heat prostration Is faintness or dizziness, paieness of face, slight if any impairment of consciousness, linipnesS and relaxa- ton, blood temperature perhaps below normal, breathing shallow or signing, pulse thin and weak, skin feels cold and clammy.
 Frankly, I have never seen Q case of classical sun stroke, but I have seen many typical cases of heat ex' haustion. The few cases that pur- ported to be sunstroke seemed to me rather manifestations of hysteria or alcoholism. Tn classical sunstrolSe some vague damage of brain or brain membranes By the direct ul- traviolet rays of the sun is implied but I think that Is . lot of funny old medical lore without much scientific ground under 1t. Soriie- thing for the scientifically unedu- cated interpreter of scientific things to talk about in his learned way.
 The prevention and treatment of heat exhaustion or prostration Gas the papers prefer to call iO is the prevention and treatment of faint ing, fatigue, prolonged fasting or in- sufficient food, overexertiotl, ilstiffi- cient sleep.
 In most instances that figure in the news during seasons of ex- tremely warm and humid weather heat exhaustion is the least of the patients troubles are Ill of some more or less serious chronic disease, and naturally they are ifl no condition to withstand strains which do not greatly tax the strength or vitality of well folk.
 In general, plenty of cool water agreeably cold, not ice cold--is the best preventive against heat ex- haustion, Drink your fill when. ever you feel at all thirsty, and nc matter if it is before, during ol after a meal--a glass of water aidl digestion if one Is thirsty at Tnea time. Don't be detrred from drink ing water, by quaint notions. Cole water in such circumstances stiInu. lates the secretion of gastric juice By the way, water remains only q few moments in the stomach before 1t is sent along into the intestine where 1t is absorbed Into the blood
 Tn trying heat 1t is important tc take a good pinch of salt every time one takes Q drink of water. This helps to maintain c proper water balance in the body. Much salt is lost when sweating is c0piols. Un- less 1t is quickly replaced there is danger of heat cramps. loss of con- sclousness from ederna of brain, and heat exhaustion. In industrial plants where workers must endure extreme heat, b-grain tablest oe common salts are dispensed alongside the water founts.
