AT LAST!
the TRUTH ABOUT
LOSING FAT

NEW YORK, N. Yin a test by a
prominent N Y. physician and nationally
known newspaper woman-25 women lost
total of 2S6 lbs in 40 days. YOU, too,
can follow this SAME, SENSIBLE plan
right at home and here it is:
First of all go light on fatty meats and
sweets. Eat plentifully of lean meats, fish,
fowl, fresh fruits and vegetables. And for
proper functioning by removal of accumu.
lated wastes take half teaspoonful of
Kruschen in hot water every morning. -
DON'T MISS A. MORNING. = Kruschen
is made right here in U. S. A. from
famous English formula.
And this is important! Kruschen is
NOT harmful. 1t is not just one salt as
some people ignorantly believe. Rather
it's blend Of 6 active minerals, which
when dissolved in water make a health
full mineral drink similar to highly effec-
tive Spa waters where wealthy women
costs only few cents and lasts 8 weeks.
So, fat ladies-get some gumption! MAKE
UP YOUR MIND YOU'LL STICK to the
above Plan for % days-and just see if
you don't lose fat and feel healthier and
younger. You can get Kruschen at drug
gists everywhere.

Startling comparisons between
human and animal populations are
revealed in an analysis by the
American Wildlife Institute of big
game inventory by the United
States Biological survey.
'"There are $4,000 deer in Michi-
gan alone" points out Stanley T..
Borgess., who made the analysis for
the institute. "There are Is states
in the Union which have fewer than
this number of human beings"
In general it is noted the entire
trend of the big population is on
the upswing. It would be difficult
to say just how many years it has
been since the big game population
of any given state exceeded the
number of human beings in the
same area.
The state which comes nearest
this is Nevada. Nevada's $1,000
people outnumber the big game re-
ported in that state only by about
to 2. The five species of big game
animals resident in Nevada totals
60,875.
The state which comes nearest
the proportions indicated by these
figures is Wyoming. In that state
nine big game species total more
than 125,923. This figure represents
sum equal to more than half of

high with dishes, as she stood in the
dining-room door. stDoes you-all

And there the subject dropped.
But Jane thought a great deal about
it as she went on with her work.
She told her sister, Julia, about
it when, late that afternoon, she
wrote her weekly letter.
'The worst of it must have been
to lose her faith in things. I'd rath-
er be Jane Barnes without any love
affair than Edith Towne with a love
affair like that. Badly told me the
other day that / am not unattrac-

bobbed my hair. But I did it and

he is dead sick of fappers. That

peal to the imagination! He came
home the other night from dance
and read Tennyson-can you fancy
that after the way he used to fling
Amy Lowell at us and Carl Sand
burg? He says he is so tired of short
skirts and knees and proposals and
cigarettes that he is going to hunt

marry, for an Elaine or Griselda!

in a tower with not man in sight

a heartache, Judy.
Badly has had three proposals;
he said that the first was stimulat-
ing, but repetition Stalled the inter-
est! Of course he didn't tell me
the names of the girls. Baldy's not
a cad.
'tBut he is discouraged and des-
perately depressed. He has such a
big talent, Judy, and he just slaves
away at that old Office. He says
that after those years in France, it
seems like cage. l sometimes
wonder what civilization is, any
how, that we clip the wings of our
young eagles. We take our boys
and shut them up, and they pant
for freedom. Is that all that life is
going to mean for Baldy-eight
hours day-behind bars?

was a dogs life and he had other
aspirations.
Jane, left to herself, read the pa
per. One headline was sensational.
The bride of fashionable wedding
had been deserted at the altar. The
bridegroom had failed to appear at
the church. The guests waiting i'm.
patiently in the pews had been in
formed, finally, that the ceremony
would be postponed.
Newspaper men hunting for the
bridegroom learned that he had left
a note for his best man-and that
he was on his way to southern wa
tiers. The bride could not be seen.
Her uncle, who was also her guard
ian, and with whom she lived, had
stated that there was nothing to be
said. That was all. But society
was on tiptoe. Delafield Simms was
the son of a rich New Yorker. He
and his bride were to have spent
their honeymoon on his yacht. Edith
Towne had a fortune to match his.
Both of them belonged to old and
aristocratic families. No wonder
people were talking.
There was a picture of Miss
Towne, tall, fair girl, in real lace,
orange blossoms, seed pearls.
Pride was in every line of her.
James tender fancy carried her to
that first breathless moment when
the bride had donned that gracious
gown and had surveyed herself in
the mirror. "How happy she must
have BEEN" Then the final shudder-
ing catastrophe.
Sophy arrived at this moment,
and Jane told her about it. "She'u
never dare trust anybody, will
she?"
"Yo' KANT ever tell whut wom-
an will do, Miss Janey. Effen she a
trustin' nature, she'll trus' and trus'
and effen she aim a trustin' nature,
she won't trus' nohow."
"But what do you suppose made
him do it?"
Nobody knows whut a mans
gwine do. wen it comes to gittin'
married"

until the house is paid for. I don't

He hasn't been able lately to work

there's a prize offer of a magazine

"Ever your own,
"Jane."
The darkness had come by the
time she had finished her letter.
She changed her frock for thin
ner one, wrapped herself in an old
cape of orange-hued cloth, and went
out to lock up her chickens. She
had fed them before she wrote her
letter, but she always took this
last look to be sure they were safe.
The shed where the chickens we're
kept was back of the garage. When
Jane opened the door, her old Per-
sian cat, Merrymaid, came out to
her, and puff-ball of a kitten.
Jane snapped on the lights in the
chicken house and the biddies
stirred. When she snapped them
off again, she heard them settle
back to sheltered slumber.
The kitten danced ahead of her,
and the old cat danced too, as the
wind whirled her great tail about.
"We won't 60 in the house-we
won't 60 in the house," said Jane,
in sort of conversational chant,
as the pussies followed her down
path which led through the pines.
She often walked at this hour-and
she loved it best on nights like this.
She felt poignantly the beauty of
1.-THE dark pines and the little
moon above them-the tug of the
wind at her cloak like riotous play
mate.

the family, but James love of beauty
was inarticulate. She would never
be able to write it on paper or
draw it with a pencil.

Farm Facts

Turkeys, to make the most eco-
nomical gains, must have a con-
slant supply of clean, fresh water.
American agriculture is now said
to use more machinery than any
other industry in this country.
Feeding experiments indicate that
beef heifers fatten faster than steers
in a feeding period of less than $50
days.
Sales of wheat and flour for ex-
port totaled approximately 1,6OO,-
900 bushels from July /, 1888, to
March 10, 1889, of which about IT,
100000 bushels have been exported.
Strains of tomatoes that do well in
greenhouses will usually do well out
side if trained on a trellis, accord
ing to Professor Grant B. Snyder,
head of the Massachusetts, State col

There are over 100000 milk
goats in the United States, about 4
per cent of the number of cows.
Goats find their use as the "poor

SUGGESTS SEEDING
TOMATOES IN FIELD
Lower Cost Will Offset
Smaller Yields.
By w. A. HUELSEN

Seeding tomatoes directly in the
field thus eliminating the expense
of transplanting has considerable
commercial promise, according to
the college of agriculture, Univer-
sity of Illinois, Urbana.
Experiments conducted by the ag-
ricultural college last year compar-
ing direct seeding with transplant
ing in the usual way showed only
a slight increase in yields in favor
of the transplanted tomatoes. How
ever, this advantage is more than
compensated by the lower cost of
direct seeding.
Interplanting tomatoes with field
corn is another new and novel
method of growing tomatoes, a
method that protects the tomato
fruits from sun scald. In expert
ments conducted at Urbana by the
college of agriculture, tomatoes
planted the usal way in 1888 pro-
duced a total of rs tons an acre.
The interplanted tomatoes produced
~ tons of tomatoes and SIS bushels
of shelled corn an acre. The
acre income was $3.50 for the to-
matoes planted in the usual way
and $3.50 for the interplanted acre,
valueing corn at As cents bushel.
Additional tests Indicate the inn
portance of early planting. Toma-
toes planted on May IL produced 10
tons an acre, but when setting was
delayed until June 5, the yields
dropped to four and one-half tons
an acre. Still later paintings re-
duced the yields further.

authorities all agree they must be getting assurances of help from some of the great powers.
 Likew.se, the Russians have no obvious reason for pressing the Films as hard as they are, since their little neighbor has publicly admitted she would agree to about two-thirds of the Russian requirements, That would afford Russia adequate pro lection of Leningrad and the Gulf of Finland. So the question arises, have the Russians decided to make a strong stand now to flout their strength in the faces of those who talk about 9 United States of Eur cpe on an ti-Communistic basis?
 Of course, Germany officially is backing Russia on the Finnish ques- ten. Great Britain and France themselves are doing nothing for the moment to make the Commun- ists angry. But such are the in- gredients of power politics. Nobody indulging in that game can accept the theorem that the straightest line is the shortest distance be- tween two points.

 Forms were mailed by the Tacoma office earlier than usual this year, probably in response to a request from remote points of Interior and Westward Alaska where the forms in many cases were not received in time to enable returns to be made by the due date.
 Those who must make returns are all single persons, or married per sons not living with husband or wife, who earned $1 900 or more in l939 and all married couples earn ing $2,500 or more in 1939

CtY Hall Meeting Votes Resolution Condemning
 Russian Invaders

Films of Juneau voiced their pro test over Russia's invasion of Fin land last night at a meeting in the City Hall at which plans were launched to aid in raising funds for the aid of Finland.
 The meeting Of the Finnish Bene- volent order of Alaska, presided over by August Maxi with William Niemi as secretary, resulted in the adoption of a condemning resolu- tion submitted by Alfred Lund- strom.
 A committee composed of Will liam Niemi, Mrs. William Karki and Mrs. Daisy Brown was named to call on Gov. Ernest Gruening in regard to territory wide campaign to raise funds for "relief of the oppressed and homeless Films"
 The resolution passed is as fol- lows:
 "Whereas, the sacred soil of Fin land, the birthplace of many of our members, is desecrated by the tramp of an alien horde. and the dreaded spectre of an invasion spreads terror and confusion among it's inhabi- tantS, and
 Whereas, the tyrannical Com munistic government of Soviet Rus sia in defiant disregard of the rights of smaller countries to the inherent privilege of self government, is mer- cilessly attacking by airplane resi- dents of defenseless cities in Fin land, and
 "Whereas, Finland is a homogen- eous race of industrious and self relian people who desire to live in peace with the world, happy to re- main within its own boundaries, and having no imperialistic ambitions TOT designs, and
 Whereas, the unjust territorial expansion of Soviet Russia menac- es the integrity of the small coun- tries of Europe, and is a constant threat to peace and harmony among nations, and
 "Whereas, we the members of the Finnish Benevolent Order of Alas ka, deeply appreciative of the home and opportunity the great free land of America has given us, respectfully urge the Honorable Franklin D Roosevelt, President of the United States, and the Congress of the Unit ed States to convene in regular ses- sion next January to protest to the Russian government against the un- warranted and barbaric invasion ot Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and there; Be It Resolved, that copy of these resolutions be sent to the Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt the United States Congress, Hon. orable Ernest Gruening, Governor of Alaska, the Associated Press newspaper service, the United Press newspaper service and all newspa- pers published in Alaska.

 You can see these little men were not very nice. Their home wasn't very nice either. It was just a cave with a fireplace. They used rocks for chairs, and pine needles for beds. And in the cen ter was great pile of gleaming gold they were keeping for good ness knows what reason. They stood Leezen near the fire place and had dinner, and then they sat quarrelling for a silly reason.
 One troll said, 'We must find this princess's father and then we will ask him for a hundred pounds"
 "No, we'll ask for two hundred pounds" said the second troll. NO, three" said the third.
 Not Strong Enough Three hundred pounds!" snort ed the first disdainfully. You're

 ''Pooh," said the second, q can carry horse on one shoulder and the carriage on the other"
 "Ho" said the third. "I can carry a team of oxen and dance at the same time."
 You can't"
 "I can"
 And with that the three trolls were all so angry with each other that they began to fight, and they got so mixed up that they rolled around the floor.
 Just then the moon touched the top of the sky and it was midnight. Leezen's eyes fiuttered. open. She was so frightened by what she saw that she wanted to run. But the trolls fought at her feet. So she closed her eyes and stood very still so the trolls wouldn't know she could talk after midnight. She wondered if she could stand that way all the long hours until dawn.

RussIA's CAUSES FOR WORRY

RUSSIA'S CAUSES FOR WORRY
 Evidence abounds in the headlines to give Russia cause for apprehen- sion. First, there was the almost successful attack on Hitler's life, followed immediately by stories that the ex-Nazi Otto Strasser brags he can overthrow Hitler in 1940, if the Allies will agree not to destroy the Reich. Strasser is foe of Com munism.
 Then you have Chamberlain talk ing about the new Europe after the war with adequate machinery to guarantee each nation it's borders and independence. That could mean United States of Europe on an nti-Communistic basis.
 And don't overlook the fact that resistance to Communistic Russia is the common heritage of all the important states of Europe including Germany under Hitler. At the mo- lment it is the one common avenue of approach to a United States of Europe. Spain, Portugal, Italy, most of the Balkan states, Great Britain, France and Germany, even the Uk- , raine in Russia, could get together on the anti-red basis, and act on it.
 And then there's the determined Finnish resistance for a long period against Russian extreme demands. The Films are entirely too weak to stop the Russians alone. The best
