The Legislature
As | See 1t
BY Rep. Chas. L. Halsted.

BY way of introduction, this marks
the fifth weekly column sent to this
paper since the start of the present
legislative session on January up
through Saturday, February 8, 20
legislative days have elapsed out of
the possible 80. So far $40 bills
and resolutions have been introduced
in the House, and a few less in the
Senate.
Melby Bill.
Introduced in the House for the
first time in the 1887 session, re-
introduced and passed in the House
in 1889, but lost in the Senate COM
mittee at that time, and introduced
again this year is the Melby bill, so
named because of the consistent eff
forts in its behalf by the head author,
Representative J. o. Melby of Oklee.
This bill, already in this session ap-
proved by the Committee on Public
Health and Hospitals, is now before
the House Appropriations committee.
It calls for establishment of state
wide system for after-care of tu-
berculosis patients discharged from
county and state sanitariums.
It provides for medical care and
supplemental relief of those who are
in need and whose physical or other
conditions or disabilities associated
with their disease seems to perma-
nently make it impossible for them
to provide for themselves.
The State agency of the Division
of tuberculosis will provide the funds
appropriated by this bill, WI n
passed, for the medical care of dis
charged patients The amount and
type of this care will be determined
by the family physician, with the
cooperation of the medical director
of the sanitarium from which the
patient was discharged, and the State
Medical director. The county agency
shall in all cases determine eligibili-
ty of persons to receive this aid, SO
control is centered at home.
Among the other authors of this
fine bill are Representatives: Mrs.
Paige of Minneapolis, and A. c.
Thompson of Duluth.
Faithful Public Servant.
Representative Melby says, eff this
bill passes I will ~feel I have done
my little bit toward helping these
unfortunates, and my public career
will not have been in vain" This
is saying a good deal for the i'm

Odd Fellows Entertain Rebekahs

Last Friday night after the meeting a good sized crowd of Re bekahs and Odd Fellows gather ed in the Lodge Room for a good time. If the expressions are any criterion, all must have had good time, as the opinion was general.
 The entertainment began with a very warm welcome by Chair man Chas. Lewis who acted also in bshalf of Noble Grand Bob Baldwin who was indisposed and could not attend. It was followed by 12 games of cards and before the awarding of prizes a treat was in store for those present. MT. w. Bousher, who had been playing some of the finest music that can be obtained anywhere in the world by the most renowned artists, at this point sprung a sur prise, by reproducing the inter view of Miss Alaska over station KFAR. The same was broadcast through Nome and we hope that everyone here has heard it. Miss Jones is emitted to all she attain ed and Nome is proud of her. She did not mince any words, Nome is her home and she did boost for her Home Town.
 A. Polet next on the program spoke on Odd Fellowship and GU 1 logized Miss Alaska. The refresh ment served were up to standard and everyone enjoyed same.
 The winners at cards were as 1 follows:
 | Ladies: 1st Mary Goble, End Mrs. A. Polet, consolation Mrs. C. Hoven.
 Gents: 1st Peter x. Peterson, End Ellis Hedson, consolation Councilman Ed Anderson who promised to practice the game with the other councilmen and try for prize at the Hard Times Party next Saturday.

CUPID HAS NO CHANGE WITH ARMY'S BOYS

l ANCHORAGE - Hands off signs ware posted by Uncle Sam in advising husband seekers to keep away from his soldiers, be cause Uncle Sam positively refus es to play the role of Cupid.
 Co. John H. Hood, command CT of Fort Richardson, called at tention to present Army policy, which is designed to discourage enlisted men below the top three grades from taking Wivss with out the permission of their com manders.
 And that permission is seldom given, because a soldier below the first three gradcs cannot sup port wife" said Colonel Hood.
 Soldiers ignoring Army restric- tions and taking wives without the required approval are auto matically disqualified from re- enlisting Whzn their term expir- es. Meanwhile, the Army makes none of the customary allowance es for the wife as the man is treated as a single man. He must live in the barracks, he has no housing allowance, and his wife is not permitted passage on Army transports.
 The restrictions against mar riage among enlisted men are bas ed on the economies involved, ; said Colonel Hood. "The enlisted men do. not have enough money to pay for rent, fucl, food and other expenses in maintaining a home off the post. Also, the men are subject to transfer to other posts at any time"
 The post commander pointed out for the benefit of young lad ies who may not already know, the soldiers in Alaska "are here today and gone tomorrow" Some of them may appear flush with money and ready spenders, but this appearance of wealth is only sufficient to last a day or two af- ter pay day.
 "A soldier is flush right after pay day, but after a night or two of spending, he must go out of circulation and live on the post without the frills of night life in the bright spots," Colonel Hood said. The Army furnishes him board, room, clothing, med ical care and all other neceSsit- ies, so he needs no cash on the post"
 Colonel Hood said he did not know whether Alaskans - and particularly those at the age where they are setting their caps were aware of thsse Army rules and conditions, so, to avoid possible misunderstanding and grief, he thought he would point them out for special attention.
 The effect of his statements were to direct attention of hus- band seekers to master, technical and staff sergeants, lieutenants and captains. AS a matter of re- cord, it might be added that all officers above the rank of captain at Fort Richardson are married.

Careful Application

This must be done thoroughly
and requires at least three or
four applications. Avoid the eX-

Now when all the soap has been
