ON SEWARD LINE
Hillside streams occasioned by the
melting of snow have been put to
work on the Anchorage-Seward line
of the government railroad to clear
away the slides which blocked
taffic between the two coast towns
during the greater part of the
winter.
There were serious blockades at
Mile 76% and Mile 72 and a num
ber of other slides at points far
ther south, toward Seward. The
slide at Mile 76% was 25 feet in
depth and that at Mile 72 is said
to have measured 50 feet deep.
A number of mud slides along
the line between Anchorag and
Chickaloon interferred with traffic
north of Anchorage for a time after
the spring thaw. The obstructions
were removed with the aid of a
ditcher and a gang of ten men.
No Joke
“Yessir,” said Mr. Gabb, “I’m in
favor of women being able to vote. ’
“But why,” demanded Mr. Nay
bor.
“Because the minute they know
they are able to vote they won t
wrant to vote and they’ll quit all
this fuss and agitation," replied
Mr. Gabb.

NEW YORK.—With their lives
iedged to the pursuit of good
ealth, more than 3,000,000 school
hildren throughout America have
een enrolled in the Modern Health
rusade, a disease-prevention move
hich is being developed in the
ublic schools of the country under
le auspices of the National Tuber
ulosis Association and the Junior
ed Cross, it was announced re
;ntly by Charles M. DeForest,
-usader executive at the former
rganizations headquarters here.
“There are now crusaders in every
:ate in the Union,” Mr. DeForest
iid. "The health creed of the
rusade has become a part of the
rhool program in thousands of
rhools, both rural and urban. It
as also caused innovations in the
arriculum of parochial and private
rhools.”
Among the larger cities where
le movement has been adopted in
11 or part of the elementary schools,
e said, are Baltimore, Birmingham,
leveland, Dallas, Indianapolis, Kan
is City, Minneapolis Newark, New
rleans, New York, Philadelphia,
rovidence. Portland (Ore.), Seattle
nd Washington, D. C. While prim
rily intended for elementary grades
le crusade has been taken up also
) student teachers in normal
ihools.
Enlistment in the movement in
olves something like passing a
hysical - examination, as the re
ruit must for at least two weeks
allow a daily health program. The
nild who lives up to 75 per cent
f the crusder’s health rules for
vo, five, ten and fifteen weeks
eeomes successively a page, squire,
night and knight banneret in health
hivalry. In health tournaments
articipated in by whole classes and
•hools the crusaders go “a'jousting
>r germs.”
The health “chorus,” performance
f which each child Is put on his
onor to record on a special card
rer his own signature, are as fol
>ws:
“f washed mv hands before each
-
meal today; I washed not only my
face but my ears and neck and I
cleaned my finger nails today; I
tried today to keep fingers, pen-;
cils and everything that might be
unclean out of my mouth and nose;
I drank a glass of water before
each meal and before going to bed,
and drank no tea, coffee or other I
injurious drinks today; I brushed'
my teeth thoroughly in the morning j
and in the evening today; I took I
ten or more slow deep breaths of
fresh air today; I played outdoors,
or with windows open, more than
thirty minutes today; I was in bed
ten hours or more last night and
kept my windows open; I tried to
sit up and stand straight, to eat
slowly, and to attend to my toilet
and each need of my body at its)
regular time; I tried today to keen
neat ad cheerful constantly and to j
be helpful to others; I took a full |
bath on each day of the week that
is checked.”
The success of the movement, ac- j
cording to its leaders, is due to the J
interest in health aroused in the
children by introducing the elements j
of play and romance in the practice :
of hygiene, and by definite program
with tangible rewards. So eagerly i
have the children in certain sec
tions of the country taken to the
daily “chore" idea, that a tooth
brush shortage is reported in Penn
sylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa and Ok
lahoma.
Growth of the movement is in- j
dicated by membership figures from ,
states leading in the crusade move- j
ment, as follows: Texas 310.000 ;i
Minnesota 250.000; Iowa 220,000 ;j
Oklahoma 175,000; Oregon 55,000;!
Idaho 24.557; Utah, Pennsylvania, |
150,000; Maryland 43,000; South j
Carolina 27,600; District of Colum-j
bia 15,000; Rhode Island 28,000;:
and New Hampshire 5,000.
The health crusade movement is
not confined to America alone; not
withstanding the war, the idea has
spread to foreign countries and en
listments have been reported from
China, Korea. Canada Cuba and
France, Mr. DeForest said.

IOG QUESTION IS
THRESHED OUT BY
FAIRBANKS COUNCIL
At a lengthy session of the Fair
anks city council held last night,

og nuisance. Numerous complaints

The park commission was allowed
le sum of $400 for the purpose of
ravelling the race track and for
the improvements to the park,
he money is in the nature of r,
>an, as the park commission will
e in funds later in the seaon, when
will be able to return the money.
An amendment to the, building
rdinance was also passed. The
mendment authorizes tar and
ravel roofing in the constuction ;
f buildings in the business section
f the town.
OUNG GIRL HAS FEET
BADLY FROZEN AT TELLER
Albert Bernhardt arrived in Nome
;cently from Teller, bringing with
im his daughter, about ten years
f age, who had the misfortune to
■eeze both feet so badlv that am
utation was necessary immediately
fter her arrival at the Holy Cross
ospital, says the Nome Industrial
Worker. The grief-stricken father
ated that he left the child in the
ire of her grandmother, a native
oman living on the Teller lagoon,
le time the epidemic was raging,
id as he believed entirely safe.
Going later to the grandmother’s j
ime to visit his daughter, he found
le aged woman dead from irflu
lza and his small daughter, who
had been left to shift for herself,
with both feet badly frozen. Hur
rying- to Nome with the gir) as fast
as he could drive his dog team, he
found upon arrival there that am
putation was necessary.
Poor Dog!
What will become of my poor dog.
The latter part of June?
For years he’s sat and watched for
me.
Outside my pet saloon.
