10 Alg ALASKANS 26,0% Native People in Arctio - Zone Need Everything but _ Refrfgerators. n’:vujéts HAVE SCHOOLS ! humn Hyglene In High Altitudes, co-mnflvo Stores, and Raising i nolmlur—Elcll Teacher a i 2 Ooolul Workor. w-mmnn —Whue edugators have spoken of what education ought to do, and have propounded theories the bur- den of which has been that education and life should be synonymous, one part of the United States has been ex- periencing ‘such an ideal in actual practice. In Alaska each schoolhouse i a.soclal center for the accomplish- ment of practical ends. Many of the bulldings, in addition to the recitation room,: contain also kitchen, quarters of the. teacher, and & laundry and baths for.the. use of the native com- mugity... _Bvery: teacher is a soclal worker. Img’y district superintendent, in visit- ing his widely separated schools, must travel vaat distances by sled over the frogen, trackless wilderness, Fre- qmtly he must risk his life on treach- i Qon!, tempestuous waters in a native canoe or small power boat. He must engnre. the violence of the northern ' storms, the rigors of the arctic winter, ° and the foulness of the native huts in which he must often find sheiter. Directed by Bureau of Education.

Lack of timber compelled them to live in the semi-underground hovels of their ancestors, while the killing oft of game animals made it inereasingly difficult to obtaln food. An uninhab- ited tract on the bank of the Kobuk river, 15 miles square, abounding in game, fish and timber, was reserved by executive order for these Eskimos, and thither they migrated in the sum- mer of 1915. On this tract in the arc- tic wilderness the colonists, under the leadership of the teachers, within two years have built a village with’ well Iaid-out streets. neat single family houses, gardens, a mercantile company, a'sawmill, an electric light plant, and wireless telegraph station which keeps them in teach with the outside world.

WHY WAS WHALEN LEFT 'OUT OF BRITISH BOUT? By H. C. Hamilton. (United Press Correspondent.) New York, Jan, 22.—Johnnie Bull has something left to worry about since the American and English scrappers brawled it out in a series of battles recent in England. While American fighters were defeated on points by their English opponents, they left a ‘mark and .a well-rooted fear that all is not as it should be even with the heavy end of the amair resting on their side of the galendar. For instance, it 1s well realized in Engiand, now as well as in America, that Ritchie Mitchell did not uphold ‘his end of the game as he should have 'and as he was expected to. On the American side of the feeling is the knowledge that Billy Whalen, St. Paul, is the man who should have been selected to be the lightweight entrant. 7 Mitchell, fancy, swift and deadly in precision, is' not a puncher and does not, for -that' reason, ‘carry the impression in a short 3-round affair that, a harder fighting man would. He was defeated cleanly and unex- pectedly by a man about whom very little is known this side of the water. In the elimination contests both Whalen and Mitchell won all their bouts, -but when it was proposed to pit Whalen against Mitchell the idea was met with a refusal and Mitchell was peremptorily -selected.. Whalan had previously knocked out the best welterweight England could trot out for the competitions. Returning - sailors ‘have ' declared that Mitchell’s. defeat”was clear and merited, but point an- accusing finger at_a former St Paul newspaper writer named 8have, who established limself in the American corner and declined to allow any other seconds to, handle the fighters, His advice it is declared, Was very ‘'bad, and Mitchell’s defeat is attributed to his giving heed to Shave rather than to his own lack ot ability. * Whalen was returned to:the United States, severly disappointed ‘because of his failure to meet an opponent in the championships. He has been boxing ~four. years in the United States and never had been defeated up to the time he enlisted in the navy. He soon will be mustered out of the service, largely with a view to -bringing about a meeting with Mitchell’s conqueror, WANT AD DEPT, .- FOR SALE FOR SALE—Oneé. ‘- 6-year:old - cow; fresh. " J. J.

This excelient, common-sense health measurs - being adopted by.miillons. Says a glass of hot water with phos- phate before breakfast keeps illness A\uy. This excellent, common-sense health measure being adopted by millions. Physicians _the world over recom- i mend the inside’ 'bath, claiming this i E of vastly more im| nce than oub side cleanliness, %filse {%e skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing ill health, while the pores in the ten yards of bowels do. Men and women are urged to drink each morning, before - breakfast a glass of hot water with a beaapoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of helping to wash from the stomach, liver, Kidneys and bowels the previous day’s indigestible materials, poisons, sour bile and tox- || ins; thus cleansing, sweeting and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Just as soap and hot water cleanse and freshen the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the elim- niative organs. “Those who wake up with bad breath, coated.tongue, nasty taste or have a dull, aching head, sallow com- plexion, acid atomsch, others are subject .to bilious attacks or con- stipation, should obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This-will cost very little but is sufficient to demonstrate the value of inside bathing. " Those who continue it each morning are assured of pronounced results, both in regard to health and appearance. ) AND YoU ARE SORE HE CAME HoME AT VARY 5 HINVTES IN THE vean * THEMN, IF YoU KNEW HE ALWAYS COMES N AT ONE SHARP - WHY DD You ook||TO see WHE THER A"r THE CLOCK ON THIS PARTICULAR HORNING 2 Big Aplary.
