converse usually costs you some

ration and extremely clean at all
times. Soap and water should never
be used, however; instead, warm
olive oil is used to clean the feet.
The patient should own ten pairs Of
cheap white, cotton socks and three
pairs of shoes so that one pair can
be worn for one day only.
The patients feet are soaked for
20 minutes in a solution containing
two tablespoonfuls of sodium hypo-
sulphite in two quarts of water.
Exposed to Rays
The feet are then thoroughly
dried and exposed to the actinic
rays for a period of five to seven
minutes at a distance of about eight
cen inches. While the feet are thus
exposed, the toes are separated so
that the rays can penetrate thor
oughly into the spaces between and
under them. After exposure to the
actinic rays, the feet are thorough
ly busted with Epic powder and the
patient instructed to put on clean
socks.
Epic powder is a carefully-com-
pounded semi-anhydrous busting
powder of desiccated sodium THO
sulphate, enhanced by the syner-
CYSTIC action of thymol and an ac-
ceptable base Of starch and boracic
acid, with oil Of absinthium as a
deodorant.
This is similar to the powder
which we recommended a month or
two ago, which consists of salicylic
acid five grams, menthol two grams,
camphor eight grams, boric acid so
grams and starch 35 grams.

Outstanding de- linquent taxes are comparativ- ely small in amount. Fishing and mining interests, the largest in- dustrial taxpayers, usually pay promptly.
 From now until the first of next year, the balance in the treasury will decline. After the beginning of the new year, with incoming tax payments, the Urea sury balance will go up,'

Such a fact is necessarily bas ed on many efforts. Without the combined use of capital invest ment and labor in the gold fields such a prospect would be dim. Fairness and combined respon- sibility will lead Alaska to a full CT future.
 Let Nome business houses and others who are actively interest ed in the development of the gold fields of this Peninsula look forward to participation in the rewards.
 Constant fighting for the meth odical development of Alaska will insure a stable population and one which takes pride in achievment. And while we med itate on the advances obtained this year, there are many plans afoot for further development and activity for 1940.
