Dear Lord. let each tall candles light
Bring Joy where there was pain
To those who know heartbreak and grief

Let their bright flames reveal Thy hand
And show that Thou are there
By STRENGTHENING those down the way
Who falter with despair.
And as for myself. would as this:
Swift hands for loving deeds
In service for my fellowman,
And thought for others needs.
And from my heart. dear Lord. I pray
Remove each fear and doubt

FLASHLIGHTS.

(Fron, J. A. S. r., Herndon.D
Regarding A. C. BIS query about
flashlights, the following informa-
ton is furnished. Batteries, when
left in flashlight will eventually
expand and most likely leak. This
may be caused by internal action
or by partial short circuit, par
ticularly at the switch. The exud-
ing liquid is corrosive and a con-
ductor and it's pressure will pro-
duce low-resiStance part within.
the switch mechanism and new
cells will rapidly become useless.
Flashlights are cheaply made and
the switches very difficult to re-
pair, as they are usually riveted.
/ If cleaning out and moderate heat
ing las on top of radiator to
drive out the moisture) does not
help. the f1ashlight should be dis
tcarded. Cells lbatteries) should
never be left in the fashlight after
lit is noticed that the light becomes
weak. If a long period of non
iuse is anticipated, the cells should
be removed and stored separately.
fFrom C. M. j., SilUer SPRING.
I would like to help solve the
lproblem of your f1ashlight as it is
a hobby of mine to locate and
correct just such obscure troubles.
There is no question that there is
a short circuit in the f1ashlight.
! 1t could be one that only occurs
when the batteries are in place.
It could be that the sal-ammoniac
which leaks out of the batteries
land permeated the insulation has
not yet been completely washed
out or eliminated. A chemist (or
your nearest librarian or drug
|gist) could probably tell you the
best sovent to use for sal-ammoni-
ac ammonium -chloride). Then
the drying" should be a thorough
baking to finally dry out the sol-
vent. Lastly, it could be a me-
Ichanical fault in the contact
springs. If you don't eliminate the
trouble after considering these
suggestions, write me through
'RCH and I will be glad to help
YOU.

Alaska Fairly We'll Off
..

In comparison with what is hap pa1ine down in Washington state, Alaska's financial condition. often pointed to with considerable alarm, is really quite rosy. Down In Wash ington this week the state supreme court knocked out the 6S0-miliion dollar appropriation for the states current biennium as unconstitu- tional, leaving the state machinery on a virtual rubber check basis un- til a special session of the legisla- ture is called to attempt to correct the situation. Washington's law makers had tied a revenus raising measure, four per cent corporation tax. into the appropriations bill which the court held was in viola tion of the state charter.
 Meanwhile, AlasEas situation was comparatively bright Money from revenue measures, particular ly the income tax. was coming in at a substantial pace, and probably would total for the biennium be- tween 20 and 22 million from all sources. This against an appropri- ation of something over IT million plus special appropriations of couple of million. There was every reason to believe that the Territory would wind up it's biennium on March 31, 1853, with a little mon ey in the bank -
