ABANDONED ROAD.

The thickets pause and listen, peer
Along the way that man has gone
Perhaps the last, by some strange
Down dim green vistas drawn.
The grasses creep to the roads worn
side
And cautiously thrust fingers out
To ground familiar long ago
Then hesitate in doubt.
The unbelieving woods recall
Across the years the axes ring.
How through the wilderness the road
And man came conquering.
But all are waiting, watchful till
A rabbit daringly appears
Aid listens in the middle road
With tall attentive ears.
They wait until his ears and nose
Reveal no trace of vanished men,
Then with a festive tail he calls
The wild folk back again!

Questions That
Some Folks Ask
About Cardul

BENEFIT FOR MAL-NUTRITlON
Thousands of women testify Car
dui has helped them to overcome
malnutrition and to easy many Oh
the functional pains OF menstrual
ton.
"What is meant by helping to
overcome malnutrition?
Cardui contains extracts of two
plants which are classed among the
"bitters" in medicine because they
are known to increase the flow of
digestive juices-to improve diges-
tion-so there is a craving for suf-
ficient food for the body's needs, and
by their action more energy Cor
strength is obtained from the food
eaten. The food, of course, brings
the additional strength, but Cardui
serves as the means to this end by
it's good influence on the digestive
system.

SELLING ALASKA.

There is still much to be done in spreading the true story of Alaska In this day of rapid communi- cation and transportation is difficult for those of in the North to visualize people actually believing that most of our people live in igloos and that the country mostly and ice. But despite the reams of enlightening information that has been dissemi- mated about the Territory the fallacy other days persists. *)~
 Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond writing in the Progress and Development Edition of The Empire says the hardest task he has in Washington is convincing people Alaska still the fabled Sew ard Icebox. Even members of Congress and gov ernment officials he points out, not adequately conversant with actual conditions in the North
 dispatch to The Empire from the States on the trip of the Alaska Nuggets reveals that Oregon girl was surprised that the Juneau Better Times Contest winners were not attired in parkas and muk luks and another one commented on the fact that the Alaska girls spoke "our language fluently do.' That may be extreme example, but the fact remains that the ignorance in the Outside world relative to Alaska is little short of astounding In the hundreds of letters that have been received by The Empire recently asking about Alaska and its oppor- tunities, as the result of comment made by Arthur Brisbane there are scores of queries indicating abso lutely no knowledge whatsoever of the Territory.
 The answer to such situation may be found in the fact that it is only the glamorous that gets wide circulation in the States as a rule Mercy flights, lost planes, to Nome and the like catch the popular fancy of what Alaska should be like. Less glamorous facts fail to impress.
 Many Aaskans have done much in publcizing the Territory and doing it. Others the outside such Rex Beach, Corey Ford and Father Hubbard, to mention just few of the better known, have done their share and in presenting the picture of the North But still there is much for mis- sionary work in educating the world about Alaska
 Some years ago Oregon began extensive pagn to make known the Oregon country and bring people to the West Coast Frank Branch Riley a talented lecturer and of Oregons best known citizens delegated to go through the spread ing the Oregon gospel So successfully were his ex- periences that he has been doing the thing now for years and Oregon profits thereby. One of the secrets of his is that he able to contact the right people. That is exactly the Alaska need Selling the right sort of people the Territory.

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1886

THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1886
 Friendly stars rule today, accord ing to astrology. The later hours are more favorable than the morn ing for important transactions.
 Opposition may be strong to many determined efforts and obstacles must be overcome by men and wo- men who seek puyic recognition
 Although this is a favorable sway for persons who wield authority they may be difficult to interest in progressive public movements. Many are likely to be politely apathetic regarding general welfare.
 Business men may find this con- figuration stimulating and ener- gizing in it's effects, but they may be wise in postponing for a short time any venturesome project.
 Women are most fortunate un- der this direction of the stars which encourages them to seek happiness in their homes. It is an suspicious day to accept suitor and a lucky wedding date
 Under this configuration the sub ject of attire takes on unusual i'm portance. Much wearing Of uni forms and carrying of banners VIII mark the next few months.
 The vening is first rate time for naval balls or other social en- tertainments for the fleet. Move ments of American battleships may be unusually significant.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of travel and decided change. For a few secret romances are indicated. An event. ful twelve months are foreseen.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly keen and alert. These subjects of Aries may be interested in science and they generally like travel and adventure.
 Charles Peter Berkey, geologist, was born on this day 1867. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include Cleveland Abbe, Jr., geographer, 1272; Isham Randolph, engineer, 1848; Steven Colwell, fin ancier and author, 1900.

good bad but too many of them would be without resources, lacking in the stamina and courage to the ties the States and cast their lot with the North and stick.
 It may be that what Alaska needs most is such an ambassador plan as Oregon has adopted; well informed and qualified person who could make the right contacts and interest people with capital to north and help in developing her vast resources Surely, there is great field for development, and, judging from reports eanating from the States from time time there an even greater field for know- edge
 In this day of exploitation you can't sell the better mouse trap by hiding it under the counter.

The Disappearing Ice Sheet.
Cincinnati Enquirer1


 The Cornell glacier in Alaska has retreated three quarters of mile since 1896. That means roughly speaking, that it will retreat mile in 50 years The rate of its withdrawal is not regular; years it than holds its Yet it is gradually being wasted
 We have means of knowing what the eli mate at the end of the last glacial period But if the Cornell glacier is to be taken representative of what happened, it took the glacier that down to the Ohio River a thousand years before it left the soil of Hamilton County free of ice. And it sumed 10000 years in it's 200-mile retreat the site Of Toledo. Now it's great continental proportions have Shrunk merely to the Greenland Ice Cap At the South Pole is a much extensive ice cap Wheh- CT it is growing diminishing is impossible to say. As for the ice in the North all evidence to point to the fact that it is growing less.
 The climatic changes which produced the ice sheets, as far know, not sudden. They were so gradual that generation of men could not appreciate what was happening Geologic time covers such vast intervals to be beyond compre hension. All we really know is that recorded time n the history of mankind is but insignificant mo- ment, or a few seconds in the immeasurable period since the Creator said: Let there be light"

 Washington City hasn't changed it's name to Mos Stalin hasn't moved in dictator Of these United States. Our democratic form of government hasn't tumbed about apprehensive ears. Liberty and the profit motive haven't pershed on these shores
 And yet Earl Browder Communist agitator, has spoken his piece and nation wide radio hookup Most of the listeners wouldn't have bothered to turn the dals if the professional and amateur viewers with-a hadn't drummed up wide publicity for the speech by predicting calamitous consequences
 Much any other Kansas-born politician would do, Browder tore into Wall Street It's always safe to denounce Wall Street and the man-eating shark Much Democratic, Republican, Townsendite, free siverite greenbacker and other spebnders do daily Browder solemnly told the people that the biggest problem before America today is putting to work Much Republican orators say daily he declared the Democratic New Deal is bankrupt As emphatic as any Democrat he said that the Republicans do not have the solution. And any other political out, he claimed to have all the answers
 But what if this "subversive doctrine had been suppressed? What if Browder had been treated Communist country treats agtator for democracy?
 Many of citizens would still be trembling their boots instead of enjoying disllusionment And many other citizens would be calling Browder martyr n- stead of a flop.
