HEALTH DEPT. WARNS
AGAINST Use MINERAL
OIL IN SALAD DRESSING

A recent article appearing in the
journal of the American Medical
Association tells of physical distress,
evidently due to unknowingly eating
mineral oil, which has been reported
in Alaska.
While beneficial to persons at
times, routine use of mineral oil is
discouraged by health authorities.
AS O medicine or as a substitute
for food in special cases, it should
be taken only under the direction
Of a physician
Because there has been no ra-
tioning of the oil, and because it is
plentiful and inexpensive, many
public eating places as well as the
economical housewife, have been us
ing the oil in making salad dressings
with the result that many harmful
disorders have been traced back to
this one. ingredient.
According to authorities the EVIL
dence obtained by recent studies OF
this subject shows conclusively that
the harmful possibilities of mineral
oil are far greater than had been
supposed Self medication for con-
stipation, as well as the use Of the
oil in foods, appears to be on the
increase and the public should be
warned as to what the consequences
may be.
Mineral Oil is capable OF inter-
fering seriously with the absorption
by the body of vitamins A, D, and
X, and also of calcium and phos-
phorus. The prolonged use of min
eral oil may be associated with
physical disturbances related to
deficiencies OF diet.

DOME Taylor
Hanson Heard
From atLasi

DOME Taylor Hanson, former pop
ular Juneau school teacher, who
went to the Philippines several
years ago and was married to a
prominent mining man, and of
whom no word had been received
since the occupation of the Islands
by the Japanese. is we'll and is now
located at Santo Tomas. Philip
pines. This is according to advices
received by Miss Dalma Hanson.
The information comes to Miss
Hanson from Mrs. H. M. Hanson,
mother Of Denies husband, residing
in Tacoma. Wash.
The letter was written on Aug
ust 8, last year, the envelope was
postmarked Manila, September Is
and was received in Tacoma, De-
cernber 10.
The letter says: Both have kept
well. Rolf (Donie's husband) was
sent to Los Nabes Camp, two hours
drive out of Manila, last May. We
have been in Manila since Dec. %.
194f and in Santo Tomas since
January 10, 1912. I am working at
children's hospital and keep busy.
I am glad to help the children. We
have friends from all over the Is
lands in here with us and we have
many new friends. Inform all of
our location and health. Include
Maydelle George, Juneau. So glad
to get to send you this little mes
sage and will be happy to hear from
you. Rolf joins me, with love, DOME.

L."
The message" was hand printed
as all messages must be hand print
ed or type written, and was the
first information from DOME re-
ceived by Mrs. Hanson since No.
vember, l94l.
One can easily discern the mes
sage" was Japanese censored and
only bare information was allowed
to be given.
Scores of friends of the former
Juneau school teacher will welcome
only this brief news, but it won't
be long now, perhaps, before much
more information will be received.

to the mariner, brought quick dis
aster to small Coast Guard cargo

ing, causing complete loss of the
vessel The crew was rescued and
returned to Juneau by the motor
vessel Stormy Petrol, skippered by

off one distress message before
abandoning ship and this was picked
up by a Coast Guard radio station
which quickly spread the alarm to
all Coast Guard vessels in the vi
cinity. The men were in the life
boats for about As minutes before
the Stormy Petrol came along and
picked them up. She stood by for
an hour in an attempt to salvage

CAR FERRY IS
URGED F0R5.E.
ALASKA ROUTE

Establishment of car ferry diesel
steamer service between Prince Rup-
ert and Haines, and possibly be-
tween Seattle, Vancouver and
Haines, was urged today by Re-
gional Forester B. Frank Heintzle-
man in a talk before the Chamber
of Commerce.
Heintzleman pointed out that un-
less such system is started South
eastern Alaska will be isolated from
the many auto tourists who will be
looking for places to go after the
war, because the chances of con-
Meeting any Southeastern Alaska
cities with the Alaska Highway are
poor.
He suggested the use of speedy,
diesel-powered steamers with facil-
tiles for carrying autos between
decks and special docks which would
enable tourists to stop over at any
city along the Inside Passage.
He urged the mayors of these
cities to get TO work now in an
effort to interest some American
company in starting such a service
as soon as the war is over.
Submitted and approved at the
meeting was a report by Harry
Sperling. Mayor Harry Lucas and
Charles w. Carter to Health Com
missioner C. G. Carter concerning
the advantages Juneau offers as a
site for one of several proposed Alas
kan tuberculosis hospitals.
Claude Carnegie and Ernie Par
sons were named to head the Cham
ber's Fourth War Loan Drive Com
mittee, and Curtis Shattuck, pub
licity chairman for the central COM
mittee, spoke on plans for the cam
paign which starts in earnest on

WORLD
BIimps in Picture

Forgotten recently because OF the
spectacular action Of the airplane in
the present war. the huge. sleek
dirigible has slipped quietly back
into the picture, with the u. N. Air

FIVE routes from Washington. D. c..
to large cities in all parts Of the
world.
Using noninfammable helium. the
U. N. Airships Inc. would operate

Although the dirigible's speed is
limited to rs to 100 miles per hour

Democratic Revolt

Reelected by the senate's Demo-
cratic majority as its floor leader
after breaking with President Roose-
welt on the tax veto. burly Sen. Alben
Barley (Ky.) took back the reins OF
a balky party. but not without an
eye on restoring harmony in its
ranks with its principles.
Barkley's break with F.D.R. came
as a result of the Presidents rasp-
ing attack on the 81. 300. DOC. 900 tax
bill, which he said was an ''inedible
crust offering relief to the greedy
instead of the needy" 1t was not
the question Of the increased taxes
but rather of the size and nature OF
the new levies which promoted the
differences between the Chief Exec
utive and congress, and Barkley's
position indicated stiffening congress
sional independence in formulating
legislation, rather than an all-out
reputation of Democratic princi-
Piles.
The same attitude prevailed in
the house, where ~80-year-old Rep.
Robert Doughton's declaration that
he parted company with F.D.R.
on the tax veto set the stage for
congressional overriding Of the veto.

BUGLE: Plastic materials have
solved another problem-this time in
the brass musical instrument field.
The army has been short Of bugles
because Of a scarcity Of brass. A
plastic bugle has been developed
that sounds as sweet as the metal
ones. Besides that, it is only half
a. heavy. needs no warming UP on
cold mornings, and costs less to
make.
