return a verdict of guilty against
Helen Scott on a charge of assault
and battery is the subject of a com
plaint wired to Marshal Erwin re
cently by Mrs. M. B. Kuhn, the com
plaining witness in the casee. She
informed the marshal that she had
been badly beaten by the Scott woman
and that her assailant had been per

The large cabin belonging to Bert
Maycock, on Windfall island, at the j
*head of Seymour canal, burned to the

was one of the finest hunting lodges
in Alaska. It was a two-story building
26 by 36 feet, erefcted for the purpose
*of accommodating Easteren hunting

Edwin Ernest Potter, formerly a
mine operator and all-round influential
citizen of the Klondike, was recently
decorated at Ottawa with the Military
medal and bar and the Distinguished
Conduct medal, for services in the
war. Mr. Potter participated in many
hard-fought battles, became his com
pany sergeant major, and was wound
ed. His wounds are still troubling
him.
J. C. McBride of the C. W. Young
Company of Juneau has secured a
flintlock musket that was made in
1866. The gun is in excellent condi
tion and could be used any time. It
is of the style used by the Hudson
Bay Company for trading with the
natives. The gun, which has seven
l tjotches in the stock, was originally
owned by a chief of the Atlins. He
9 used the weapon on salt-water natives
who invaded his hunting grounds, and
when he passed away he gave the gun
to his son and told him to follow in
his footsteps.

treated. They say he was not put

ment, despite Shanahan’s statements
to that effect. The Juneau records
carry his name as Paddy Shanahan,
and charged him with insanity. Shan
ahan is the man who killed District

gi Our telephone tinkled a few days ago. We
ig lifted the receiver and a lady-like voice drifted
gi to us over the wire.
gi “I’ve been reading your advertising”, it said,
ig “but I’ve been told you use chemicals. And
:g —well, I’d like to send you my v/ashing, only
gi I’m afraid those chemicals would ruin my
g: clothes. Do you actually use chemical?, in
gi washing?”
gi ^ You will be interested in knowing what we
ig ’ informed her. It was this:
ig Like the goblins that in our childhood days
gi lurked around the corner, the “chemicals” that
ig laundries' use have been imagined by many
ig housewives to be fearsome things—and most
gi certainly never to be used on the family wash,
gi The words “chemical" and “harmful” have been
•g thought of as having one and the same sinister
ig meaning. <■
We suffer from a misunderstanding of the
ig term “chemical”, for we live on “chemicals”—
ig on some of the very same “chemicals” that
gi help clean our clothes. The water we drink,
for instance, is a chemical compound of the
ig gases oxygen and hydrogen. We breathe air
ciicAi. ioav,utuiiLaiuiJA
ture of oxygen, nitro~
£: gen and inert gases.
' Everything we wear
and use is "chemical”,
£: only most of us have
n’t appreciated it here
tofore.
No work can be done
::j: without the assistance
of '‘chemicals” in some form. These helpful
“chemicals” are friendly “chemicals”.
In common with those of the housewife, our
friendly “chemicals” are sours, a mild soda,
Javelle Water, chipped soap, and pure soft
water.
Consider these.
In the dressing served with your salad is a
higher concentration of free acid than will be
found in our sours.
Everyone has eaten more excess soda ash in
biscuits than is commonly used on the fam
ily washing in the laundry.
The snowy whiteness which you secure with
bleaches is obtained by us with an even milder
preparation—Javelle Water. It was this same
Javelle Water that was so helpful during the
war in purifying wounds.
But these materials are only incidental in our
laundry. Our principal “chemical” and real
cleansing agent is pure, soft water. This water
in which your clothes are washed by us is
changed as many as from nine to twelve times
in the washing process. It is this soft water,
with creamy suds, that gives to our laundry
woi k us unarauiei isuo
beautiful appearance.
The sum of our meth
ods is clothes conser- jij:
vation.
Visit us and be en
lightened. You will find
us well qualified to
takeover the burden of I*
your family washing.
