That part east and north OF the

pipe placed In the ground. BY 1871
the company had 1872 customers
with 5h million cubic feet OF gas
yearly consumption.
BY 1885 the consumption was
up TO three billion and in 1910 five

Natural gas was made availably
to Minneapolis in 1885 and more
people began using gas for home

Medical Group Here Told
.OfNew Approach to Asthma

both lungs. Under normal con-
ditions. the muscle serves to keep
the passage open for constant
breathing.
The doctor said he believes 1t
has never been proven that this
muscle squeezes shut the airways
in a spasm. He said the seat Of
the trouble probably lies in the
brain.
Approached as Nervous State.
Under his approach, asthma
would be a nervous condition.
DR.. Young said tiny areas Of
the brain have been shown to
govern inhalation and exhala-
tion in experiments on cats. Be-
cause asthmatic patients expert
ence more difficulty in getting
air out Of their lungs than in
receiving it, DR.. Young feels the
trouble probably lies in that area
OF the brain which sends down
impulses to exhaling muscles.
This also serves, he said, to dis
prove the muscle Spasm theory.
For II it is q muscle spasm
which causes asthma, the doctor
asked. would not both inhala-
tion and exhalation be inhibited? +?
He added Japanese surgeons
have had some success in the
treatment of asthma by removal
OF certain areas of the brain.
Held at the same meeting at
Freedmen's was a discussion on
the pros and cons of bottle ver-
sus breast feeding.
The doctors seem to agree that
II the new mother is capable
OF feeding her baby by the breast
she should. Yet a pediatrician,
DR.. Althea KeSsler of Freedmen'S
department of pediatrics, said no
one is excited over alleged bene-
fits q child receives INTENTIONALLY
from mothers milk. Along these
lines, breast or bottle makes lit
tie difference, she said.
II Father Is Helpful.
DR.. Charles Wilkinson, a psy-
chiatrist, pointed out that per-
haps the bottle is best so long
as a father is eager to play his
part in bringing up baby.
The doctors agree that a
highly important point to feed
ing a new born is the "coddling"
he gets. either breast fed or by
bottle, SO long as the infant
is Graded in the arms when the
meal takes place.
DR.. George Fuchs of District
General Hospital said he felt the
choice between the two types of
feeding should be left up to the
mother, not her doctor.

ton Of Former Internes and

Expressing a new approach to
the condition was DR.. M. Whar-
ton Young. professor of neuro-
anatomy at the medical school.
DR. Young said the medical
profession in general has long
looked on asthma as a condi-
ton triggered by muscle
spasm. The constructing spasm
is concentrated in the sheath
like covering of muscle which
surrounds the air passageways of

gangrene eventually infects the

recognized.

For What Its Worth
By Grayson Murphy District Agriculture Agent

l spent Monday and Tuesday Of this week with C. E. Logdson, secretary of Alaska Crop Im- provement Association while he made the first field inspection of foundation and certified seed po- tatoes I went along to learn what I could about field Identification of potato disease. Didn't learn much as there was very little to see from disease Traces of mild mosaic, rhizoctonia, and blackleg were found. Not more than doz- en plants in any feild. That is a very low percentage, well under the minimum allowed.
 Are you interested In some good, cheap storage for seed, feed, fertilizers, etc.? The Alaska Rail- road has 4 heater and refrigera- tor cars for sale. These would make excellent farm storage build ings. The heater cars have over 1900 GU. feet capacity and the refrigerator cars have over 1850 GU. feet. Four of these cars can be seen in Anchorage and the other five are located at Birch wood. To reach Birchwood, turn right after crossing Peters Creek and 70 down to the railroad.

 Travel over the highway will increase substantially in the next few years Dr. Stanton predicts, and camp facilities and other conveniences for the family tour ing by auto are required.
