LEAGUES 1910 BUDGET
WOULD BUY DESTROYER

GENEVA, Switzerland - Up -
League of Nations statisticians fig
ured recently that the league an
nual budget has dropped from the
cost Of a second class battleship to
the price of an ordinary destroyer.
Recent %budgetary cuts brought on
by designations, failures to pay the
league assessments and the ousting
of Russia forced the league to
operate annually on about 5000, 900
instead of the previous $500, 900.
Statisticians say you could only
buy a fairly good destroyer for the
1910 budget figure while the 1889
expenditures would have paid for a
light ~battleship.
They even went on from there
and figured out that the 1910 arm
budget for the United States would
pay the leagues operating expenses
for the next 440 years.

Gar Wood Heating Units
Sold Locally By Boegli

According to the January issue of
the Fuel Oil Journal, the accepted
trade magazine Of the Oil Heating
and Air Conditioning Industry" in
1889 Gar Wood Industries led in
the output of furnace units with
pressure burners. This gives Gar
Wood four consecutive years Of
leadership - 1886, 1887, 1888 and
1885,"
Gar Wood Industries are locally

specially designed oil burning units
years ago when there were only two
kinds being manufactured. And, be-
cause of Gar Woods ultra efficiency
and extra features have continued to
handle this line exclusively locally.
Gar Woods popularity, the main
factor for such widespread public
acceptance" said Mr.. Boegli, lies
in the fact Gar Wood engineers have
perfected an entirely new and sc1en-
tific a Of mixing oil and air to
produce a sunburst flame which IS
noted for its heating efficiency. The
newest models are so reliable IN
operation that even high winds, cold
start-ups and poor draft conditions
leave it virtually unaffected. The
air passes across the end Of a tube,
not through it, with adequate rota-
ton causing the air to spread u
fan-shape in exactly the same a
ner as the conical oil spray leaving
the jet. The result is a mixture OF
oil and air in a sunflower-shaped
fire."

XMAS SEAL SALE FUNDS DO GOOD WORK

An example of the fine work being accomplished by the Tuber culin Testing and Early Case Finding Clinics conducted by the Territorial Department of Health and made possible by the annual Christmas Seal Sale conducted by the Alaska Tuberculosis As sociation was recently disclosed by pr. Palmer Congdon, Tuber- culoSis Clinician.
 One of the aims of these trav- cling clinics is to examine people who have been contacts of a known case of tuberculosis and to find the disease while it is in an early and easily durable form
 Recently, in one of the larger Alaska cities, young woman, the mother of five children be- tween the ages of 2 and 8, be- came i'll, was examined, x-rayed and found to have an advanced case of tuberculosis. Her sputum was found to contain many of the germs of tuberculosis. Ar engagements were made for her

care in an outside sanatorium where she is receiving the best of aid in her fight to regain her health.

care in an outside sanatorium where she is receiving the best of aid in her fight to regain her health.
 Later when the Tuberculin Testing Clinics were held in this city, the father and the five child ren were asked to come in for tuberculin tests and x-rays. The tuberculin tests on the five child ren were all positive showing that they had taken the tuber- culosis germs into their systems and x-rays were taken of the entire family. The baby showed a large shadow in the right lung and the next oldest a smaller shadow in the left lung. These two had a very early form of the disease and will undoubtedly get well if given plenty of good food fresh air, cod liver oil, and rest. The middle child, however, show ed a more serious type of the disease and sanatorium care must be provided if she is to have the best chance to recover and lead a normal life.
 The father is apparently well but the reports on the two old est children, who are attending school, are not yet complete. Each member of this family will of course need a periodic check up and as long as they remain in Alaska and as long as the Tu- berculin Testing and Early Case Finding Clinics are held, this ser vice will be available to them.
 This case history is an example of what the Traveling Tubercul osis Clinics are trying to accom- plish and demonstrates another of the many services for which the Christmas Seal Sale funds are expended.
