COCKTAIL BAR LICENSE LAW IS EXPLAINED

(From Fairbanks NeWs-Mmer)
 Inquiries at the office of the clerk of the U. s. district court regarding the licenses for cock tail bars," authorized by the last legislature, continues to be per sistent, John B. Hall, the clerk, said.
 "The bill goes into effect June g." MT. Hall declared. If an ap- plicant applies for cocktail bar license between June g and June 30 in Fairbanks, he will be re- qured to pay the full 5000 lie ense fee, but if he waits and ap- plies for his license to take eff feet July 1, he will pay only for haf-year license, from July 1 to December 31.
 Territorial liquor licenses are issued for the calendar year, not the fiscal year.
 For a cocktail bar outside of any incorporated town under 1,500 population, the same rule as the foregoing applies, only the fee for the license is one-half, or $500, for the license. Any licensee holding a beverage diSpensary Ii cense at the present time in Fair banks and desiring to change to cocktail bar license, effective July 1, must submit regular application for the cocktail bar license, which will be presented to the city council, and, if ap- proved by the council, a cocktail bar license will be issued by or der of District Judge Harry Pratt. The additional payment of $361 is required, the hcensee al- ready having received the bene- fit of onehalf of his Beverage Dis penSary License that was issued to him January l, 1889, leaving him a balance of $50 that is ap- picable on his new cocktail bar license.
 This $50 deducted from the $500 for the half year license leaves a balance of $350 to pay, and the additional $11 is for the filing and the order granting or denying, with a refund of $3 to the Iicensee if no protest is filed.
 Outside of Fairbanks, which is the only town in this Divi- sion with more than 1,500 pop ulation, where the license for an entire year is $500 a licenSee de siring to change to a cocktain bar license the first of July, will be required to submit a regular ap plcaIlOn ana pay Slll Tor the half year license. In all cases where a cocktail bar license is applied for, for cash or surety bond in the amount of $2,50O must accompany the application.
 ''The Beverage Dispensary Li- censes already issued are good until December 31, 1889, but at the end of this calendar year the old Beverage Dispensary License is superseded by the new cocktail bar license and no liquor license will be in effect for the sale of only beer and wine by the drink"

RADIOPHONE RATES

The below information is pub- liShed for the benefit of those desiring direct personal contact with friends or business associat- es in outlying localities by means of radiophone.
 Radiophone conversation rate between signal corps stations or between a signal corps station and a commercial station for three (3) minutes or less is three times the minimum message rate; for each additional minute or frac ton add one third of the initial rate.
 For example-the day rate from Nome to KotZebue is soc; a three minute conversation to Kotzebue would cost three times the day rate or $1.50 and each additional minute or fraction thereof would cost soc. (Federal tax of 5f6 is charged on all total charges).
 Anyone desiring radiophone conversation must make their re quest for such service to the op- orator on duty at the radio sta ton.
 For most satisfactory contacts requests for radiophone conver- sation should be made sufficient ly in advance to allow arrange ments to be made for the special schedule during normal office hours.

Health Council
 Hold No Regular Meetings Summer

A regular meeting of the Nome Health Council was called to or der by Chairman Henry G. Mill ter. The minutes of the last spec ial meeting were read and ap- proved. Mrs. Sprenger, Nome Public Health Nurse, gave her report for the month of April on her nursing activities. A copy has been placed on file,
 After some discussion 1t was decided to postpone our regular meetings during the summer al though at any time any one con lected with the Health Program comes to Nome, we will call a special meeting for the occasion.
 Mrs. N. Strand was called on to give her talk on Home Haz- ards. She brought out the fact that so many deaths and per manent disabilities occur in the home and all through careless ness on our part. It is up to each one to keep the house tidy. Mis- placed furniture in bedroom or shoes that are scattered over the floor may cause death in the night. Slippery floors, whether greasy linolium, scatter rugs on highly polished floors are all a source of trouble Children should be taught to pick up their toys and especially to not leave them around on stairways and other not-so-Well lighted places.
 Medicine chests should be put away from the reach of tiny hands and light should be plac ed near at hand because all la bels look alike in the dark. Matches, knives, tools, etc. should also be kept away from child ren not yet old enough to know the proper use of each. Handles of kettles sticking over the edge of the stoves, are the cause of many bad burns and also deaths of those younger children that are curious and want to help mo- ther in the kitchen. It must be always remembered that one should not handle electric switch es and lights when in the bath tub or when the hands are wet. It is always cause of misery.
 Smoking in bed is very bad habit and often causes a loss of home. Kerosene lamps, stoves, etc. should be used with caution. The housewife should always use a common-sense step ladder instead of loose chairs, rocking chairs, or rickety boxes. We must remember that accident do not happen they are caused, and mostly by our own carelessness.
 Mrs. Frawley was called upon to give a report on the sale of the Tuberculosis Seals at Christ mas time she reported that draft for $121.O0 was sent to the office at Juneau which certainly shows that Nome was doing its part.

Italy Develops New Extensive National Highway

II all the national, provincial and
communal roads in Italy and in its
empire were laid end to end they
would circle around the world al
most 1--WE times.
The highways in Italy, Ethiopia,
Lydia and the various island pos
sessions total more than hoe
miles. AL Of this mileage rep

roads. -
In Italy there are 105, 900 miles Of
highways. OF this total 1000 miles
are national highways and the rest
provincial and communal roads.
There are 1000 miles Of completed
roads in Ethiopia and another 1000
miles win be ready for use within
the next II months. In Lydia there
are approximately 1000 miles of
roads, $50 miles Of which skirt the
seafront, extending from the Tuni-
sian to the Egyptian frontiers.
Italy claims that its roads are the
highest, the most beautiful and the
most fascinating in Europe. The
highest road climbs over the Stelvio
into Switzerland. At its highest
point it reaches an altitude Of 1850
feet above sea level. The most
beautiful, according to italian
claims, is the winding, picturesque
road In the pastel-tinted Doiomites.
The most fascinating Is the Garde-

ADS COMBAT
FIXED HABITS

THE American standard Of
1 living is the highest in the
world. One Of the most inter-
esting things about it is the fact
that the public seldom takes
the initiative in demanding new

always been man with a new
idea - something to sell - who
has made the improvements
and offered them to the pub
lie through advertising.
Gradually the public has ac-
cepted the new idea and a
new standard has been established
from which to start still further inn
