Used brooms can be made stiff
and clean by dipping them in a
pail of boiling soda water, and
drying them in the sun. If the
broom is sprayed or sprinkled oc-
casionally with a little kerosene, it
gathers the dust much better.
DO not mix new milk with old,
except when it is to be used inn
mediately.

you put them on shoe trees or stuff

Here's a hint for the workshop:
In fling saw, first smoke the teeth
with a lighted candle. This will
make it easy to see the fresh filing
and to hold the file at the right

Grease can be removed from an
iron by rubbing it with corn meal.
Children's Shoes should be plen-
ty large when bought-but not
large enough to slip around and
rub the feet. When they get too
small, they should be passed on to
some one else, if they are not worn
out, for wearing too-small shoes
when a child may cause serious
foot trouble all through later life.

THE LETTER BOX
"Quite A Little"

The past few weeks have
brought news from Russia that
has astodnded the world and left
American and British military
leaders gasping in amazement.
Russian boys have died by the
millions while battling the Ger
mans. Yes, the German army,
which would otherwise be loosed
against our smaller American
forces. In fact, l would hate to
see the war picture today, had
there not been Russian army.
Still we have our editors who
try to minimize the importance
Of Russian gains over the Ger
mans. For instance, the editor Of
weekly newspaper in referring
to the giant Russian offensive,
said that the Red army had ad-
vanced on a certain railroad Or a
certain river and had done "quite
a little damage" Yes the cap
ture Of three hundred thirty
thousand Germans at Stalingrad
and the bottling up Of a like
number in the Cacusus, to men
ton other gains, is "quite little
damage''-to put it the editors
way. The Soviets do their talk
ing through their gun barrels and
isn't it time that these jealous
writer's pulled their heads out Of
the sand and gave the gallant
Russian people the credit they
deserve?

HE winter OF I940-4l saw the
passing of potentially danger.
Gus influenza epidemic, which Tor
tunately was Of a mild type. But
what about this winter? Ali the
experts agree that we are in for
another siege, and probably Of a
more serious sort.
Many laymen think they know
the method TO abort incipient in
Euenza, and some even claim to
know what to do to cure an attack
and SO avoid the ever-dreaded
pneumonia which may follow i'll
fluenza.
Amateu4 medication is to be de-
plored, especially in SO potentially
dangerous q disease as influenza.
But many laymen insist that what
they urge has adequate medical
support from Europe but that many
doctors here wilfully shut their
eyes ana ears. The laymen appear
to be right judging by the record,
for a booklet on Influenza and
Quinine" lists 36 specialists on this
disease who nave tried quinine and
ought to know.
The burden OF this opinion, which
thousands of impatient laymen are
trying for themselves, is that a
daily dose of five grains of quinine
will MOST likely prevent such influ-
enza. Some Industrial corporations
make this obligatory for all en-
ployees and supply the quinine
free. If quinine is taken from De-
cember to March influenza may
well pass you by. An industrial doc
tor in Virginia reports a large re-
duction among $500 employees who
were given a daily dose OF Eve
Grains Of Quinine.

PROCLAMATION

In this crucial war year, 1943, the American Red Cross has set aside the month of March for it's appeal to the nation.
 The American Red Cross desires to raise S125, 100000 to meet the expanded wartime needs of the national organization and the To- cal chapters. It is scarcely neces- sary any longer to tell the people of Alaska about the invaluable ser vice of the Red Cross Its activi- ties have been notable throughout the world, and Alaska has played it's part both in giving to it's sup port and receiving it's benefits Now that Alaska is a combat area, the importance of the American Red Cross is more than ever empha- sized.
 It is, therefore, my pleasure and duty to issue this proclamation urging Alaskans to contribute as generously as they may to this American institution which parti- cularly serves our Army and Navy, including the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard, and likewise comes to the aid of civilian com munities in distress.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my hand and caused the Seal of the Territory of Alaska to be affixed. Done at the City of Juneau this eighteenth day of February in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred II d forty-three.

 Governor of Alaska.

Senate Kills BiII(hanging
 Old Age Law

The Senate yesterday killed by 5-3 vote a bill which would have allowed the Territory to sue re- cipients of old age benefits for money paid them by the Territory if the recipients happen to come into money.
 Senators A. P. Walker, N. R. Walker, Frank Gordon and O. D. Cochran spoke against the bill. Sem ator Hjalmer Nordale, H. H. Me- Cutcheon and Edward Coffey vot- ed for the measure.
 Two bills were passed by the Senate yesterday, one reimbursing the Ketchikan General Hospital for services rendered welfare recip- tents in the sum of $1 ,O80, the other reimbursing J. A. Tesack for over payment of inheritance tax due the Territory in the sum of $12798.

COOPERATION EXCELLENT IN
 PRACTICE ALERT

Last nights practice Alert showed excellent cooperation on the behalf of the people of Ju- neau and vicinity in complying with the dimout regulations, ac- cording to the Juneau Civilian De- fense Council While a few resi- denceS and businesses are showing too much light, as a whole the dim-out is very effective and prac- tically all overhead glare has been eliminated.
 Few violations of the Alert were reported; but, some misunderstood ing still exists, concerning the pur- pose of practice AlertS, Director R. E. Robertson said today. They are essentially to teach the public to promptly seek safety should an &C., tual raid occur. Therefore, neither pedestrian or automobile traffic is permitted during them. But, should an actual Alert occur. which would have no advance notice, the public would be given time, as previously stated in the Empire, to go to their homes and to close their businesses, unless no time intervened between the actual Alert and the actual raid
 About l50 members of the first Aid, chaplain, auxiliary police, and air raid warden corps reported in last evening.
 The next practice Alert will in all likelihood be held Thursday, March II, at 7l5 o'clock in the evening.

Government Distribution Favored After Heat
 ed Pros and Cons

At a special meeting called last night by the Juneau Woman's Club to discuss endorsement of House Bill No. II, bill to provide gov- ernment wholesale selling of liquor within the Territory, several Sena- tors and Representatives were in attendance, three of them making informal addresses that occupied most of the meeting.
 Admitting he had not read the present bill Fourth Division Sena- tor Frank s. Gordon expressed him. self vigorously and at considerable length as opposed to the proposed legislation, citing as his reasons ta)--the moral question involved as to whether we as legislators have the right to legislate people out of business" as would be the case for the wholesale liquor brok- CTS of the Territory and tb)-the alarming falling-off of revenue that would inevitably ensue because pro- vision is not made for the estab- lishment of wholesale liquor stor- age plants through the Territory.
 Beside the-P
 One Senator stated that instead of considering such bill, he would much prefer to see wo- mems organizations devoting them selves to a health drive to stamp out tuberculosis" while another statement wandering far afield, was Q the effect that "as far as my experience is concerned women drink as much hard liquor as the men do and carry it as well if not better"
 Still another beside the point recommendation addressed to the group of women was that every che should take a drink of good Scotch whiskey every morning, while at the same time the speak CT. cited the case of Thomas Parr, famed English patriarch who lived to be 150 years old '"and the last 50 years liquor kept him going"
 Bill Endorsed
 In a business action taken fol- lowing the discussion, club mem- borc x,ofaI +o o,,Jorca tho hill ,rrit I, the recommendations that, (a) the liquor administrator proposed be ap- pointed by the Territorial Board of Administration. composed of the Governor, the Attorney General, the Treasurer, the Highway En- gineer, the Auditor, and the Com missioner of Education; and (b) the salary of the liquor administrator be $5,000 per year instead of $7,000 as stated
 Other bills endorsed by the Woman's Club to date are Senate Bill No. Is, the Restaurant License Bill introduced by Senator Stan groom; and the House Primary Election Bill No 32, introduced by Jess Lander.
 Legislators who attended the meeting were Senators A. P. Walk CT, Frank s. Gordon, H. H. Mo Cut con, and Representatives Frank H. Whaley and Crystal Snow Jenne. H. R.
