If so, you remember the corridars—dark, stone-flagged, with hideous calcimined walls, And you still remember the old men and women you saw sitting on the benches along the walls. They were so old! And they sat so still, with their heads on their breasts! And they stared so intently at nothing! Listlessly waiting for death to come and claim hem. Sitting in hopeless idleness, motionless, sod- den, with mumbling lips and. staring, lack-luster , in a dark, stone-flagged corridor—until they It isn’t a good way for one to end his days. It is a demonstrated fact that a man who is too long unemployed, becomes unemployable. One soon loses the habit of industry. In a “poor-farm” pride starves to death, hope dies—only the body lives. By and by it dies, too, and nobody cares very much. * > * * 7 Seattle is big. It is growing. It is no longer a frontier city. Already it has its “slum” problem. Once the Panama canal is fairly working, and once Europeans begin fleeing from the terrific taxes that will follow the war, a large increase in population will be inevitable. Certain of the new- comers are going to fail to “make good.” Sick- ness, accident, unemployment are going to add to a problem which the city and county, even now, are unable to solve adequately. A “farm colony,” where the down-and-outer derelicts can get fresh air, fresh vegetables and fresh milk, developed on a farm of their own cul- A LITTLE BIT OF MOST ANYTHING Now that Judge D. F.

HER GREATEST CHARM ne ALBIAN SMITH of Madison, Wis., told the Purity congress at Frisco that ‘“‘when men be- gin to realize that womanhood’s greatest charm is located above her chin, only then will our ideals be true.” The case is hopeless. Men who at all under- stand woman will unanimously vote that her great- est charm is below her chin—it’s her heart. Beauty fades or becomes monotonous, The same is true of intellectual brilliancy, in the major- ity of cases. “A noble heart in woman is a perpetual, ever- beautiful joy and inspiration. It is the most charm- ing, the most precious of jewels, beside which most of her other charms are tinsel, or imitation.

PAGE 4, TRY THE ALASKA CURE © YOU by any chance have rheumatism? And are you looking for a health resort—hot springs, say? Perhaps you live on the Pacific coast. If so, better not consider going to Arkansas, or Vir- ginia, or somewhere else in the States. Why not try our perfectly good boiling springs at Sitka, or Ketchikan, or Hooniah, Alaska? All these places are in southeastern Alaska, a few days’ sail from Seattle. Near them are located valuable mineral hot springs now being used by the residents of Alaska. Or if you don’t mind the journey and want a sea trip in addition, why not take a summer steamer up as far as Nome, Alaska? Forty miles out of Nome are some fine boiling mineral springs. As an alternative (tho it might be better to wait for the Uncle Sam government railroad) you might go into the interior, to the town of Hot Springs, on the Tanana river. There are located the Baker hot springs, with bath houses and a hotel—of a kind. Anyhow, many Alaskans Springs to enjoy the baths. The best thing about hot springs in Alaska is the fact that they are all on government reserva- tions. One of the first acts of Secretary of the Interior Fisher, when he succeeded Ballinger in the office, was to issue a general withdrawal order covering not only all known hot springs, but all that might thereafter be discovered in Alaska. Altho there is no law under which these springs may ¢ither be conducted by Uncle Sam, or leased out to private parties, there is at the present time journey to Hot s Troubles ‘5 ° : ‘ é - (tom! sucn Luseune !

The title to them, however, remains with Uncle Sam, and some day, when the country is thickly settled, it will be. fine business to go to the government reservation and hi a hot bath at cost at the government hot springs. One interesting fact about the Baker hot springs in the interior, according to the geological urvey officials, is that the springs heat the earth for a considerable area around, and in consequence vegetables which cannot ordinarily be grown suc. cessfully in that latitude, except under glass, are cultivated extensively around the town of Hot Springs. WHEN BANKERS THINK OF WIDOWS AMES B. FORGAN, president of the First Na tional bank of Chicago, when interviewed re. garding the forfeiture of a franchise of a concern born in sin and developed in iniquity, said: “Think of the widows.” Evidently many bankers do think of the widows; especially when they have that kind of bond to unload.
