EMPLOYMENT SCARCE
IN ENGLISH TOWNS
LOXDOX.—Many girls who ob
tained clerical employment in gov
ernment departments during the
war are having a hard time find
ing new jobs since the cutting down
of staffs has thrown them out of
work. There have been numerou
exposures of extravagance and in
competency in government offices,
and the girls who worked in them
have come to be regarded by some
: employers as aiders and abetters in
the wasting of the taxpayers’ mon
ey. They are discovering that com
mercial and business firms do not
w-ant them. Some advertisements
of situations vacant conclude with
the statement: “Xo government
washouts need apply.”
Employers consider their attitude
well justified. “How can such girls
be of any use in this house?” said
the woman manager of the West
End branch of a big London firm.
“Everyone knows that in a govern
: ment office the girls spend more
jtime in knitting jumpers and mak
ing tea than in working.”
“It is a case of the many suffer
ing for the sins of the few,” said
one government official.

ASTRONOMER HAS
VISIONS OF GREAT
UPHEAVALS SOON
Owing to a strange grouping of
six mighty planets, such as has not
been seen in a score of centuries,
the United States next December
will be swept by the most terrific
cataclysm experienced since human
history began, according to Prof.
Albert F. Porta, who has the fol
lowing to say:
It will be caused by the hugest
sunspot on record—
A sunspot that will be visible to
the naked eye.
Since men first began to make
records of events no sunspot has
been large enough to be seen with
out the aid of instruments. This
one will be.
The sunspot that will appear De
cember 17. 1919, will be a vast
wound in the side of the sun.
It will be a gigantic explosion of
flaming gases, leaping hundreds of
miles out into space. It will have
a crater large enough to engulf the
earth as Vesuvius might engulf a
football.
Such a sunspot will be rich
enough to electro-magnify energy
to fling the atmosphere of our plan
et into a disturbance without prece
dent or parallel.
There will also be gigantic lava
eruptions, great earthquakes, to say
nothing of floods and fearful cold.
I make this startling prophecy
with no desire to be merely sensa
tional or alarming. It is because \
study of the planets has revealed i
certain results with mathematical
certainty, that I say to you:
“Be warned in advance. Tre- ]
mendous things are going to happen !
from December 17 to December 20.1
1919, and afterwards.”
Here are the simple yet astound- ]
ing facts that enable me to make [
this prophecy:
The planets in their orbits swing
in great ellipses about the sun.
They are linked to the sun, and to
each other, by chains of electro
magnetic energy whose compelling
forces counteract each other and
hold each planet in its regular path.
Whenever two planets wheel into
such position that they pull togeth
er with the sun—either in “con
junction" to the same side of the
sun, or in “opposition” with the
sun between them, their united pull
causes the sun's gases to “explode"
—to leap out into space in the
whirling volcano we cal! a sunspot.
These sunspots in turn cause
storms in the atmosphere of our
earth—doubtless in other planets as
well.
Two planets united are enough to

| cause a small sunspot and a small
storm. Three cause a larger one
four make a very great storm in
deed.
But—on December 17, 1919, no
less than seven planets will pull
jointly on the sun. These will in
clude all the mightiest planets, those
with the most powerful pull.
Six of them—Mercury, Mars, Ve
nus. Jupiter. Saturn, and Neptune—
will be in conjunction; grouped to
gether in the greatest “league of
planets” ever known in the annals
of astronomy.
They will be massed in the nar
row limit of 26 degrees, on the
same side of the sun.
Directly opposite, coming into op
position with this gigantic league,
will be the huge planet Uranus.
The magnetic currents between Ur
anus and the six planets will pierce
the sun like a mighty spear.
Our earth is outside the league
at an angle of nearly 90 degrees—
imperfect position to receive almost
the full force of the monster elec
I I
trical disturbance as it leaps into
activity on what, to us, will be the
I eastern horizon of the sun’s disk.
This means we shall get the full
strength of the storm when the sun
spot is at its worst, before the ex
ploding gases have had time to die
i down.
i Such a close grouping of planets
has never been recorded before.
!The whole solar system will be
strangely out of balance.
What will be the outcome? My
knowledge does not permit me to
state, beyond the fact that the
storm*, eruptions and earthquake*
will t>e tremendous in their strength
and scope.
Remember the date—December 17
to 20, and after.

A THRIFTY SOUL.
In the old days when every saloon
set a free lunch there was a man
who worked in a railroad yard in
Cincinnati and saved money. A sa
loon near the yard served a plate
lunch free if you bought two beers
or spent ten cents over the bar.
The man did not drink. So he
would go to the saloon every day
at noon and spend his ten cents on
two packages of tobacco. Then they
would serve him a lunch. The rnan
did not smoke, so when he got back
i to the yard he would sell the two
i packages of tobacco for a dime. He
used the dime next day to buy two
more packages of tobacco and get
; lunch. Then he would sell the to
i bacco again. In this way he ate
j lunch for 300 days for nothing and
: still had his original dime. This is
'a true story.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

! Fairbanks this week, after a stay
of several days in the upper town.

MARSHALS NOT FUSSY
ABOUT UNIFORMS
PARIS.—The three new marshals
of France—Joffre, Foch. and Pe
tain—have not yet appeared in the
regular uniform of marshal, but
content themselves with adding a
row oft golden oak leaves to their
caps and four supplementary stars
to the sleeves of their uniforms of
general.
During the Victory Day parade,
old Parisians commented upon the
fact that the marshals did not .vear
their uniforms, but ore of the
younger generation cnipped in with:
“With thirty-three thousa .1 francs
salary a year they probably can’t
afford them."

NENANA PEOPLE
SHOULD EAT PIE DAILY
Pie is wholesome, combining both
fruit and grain. Those who have
trouble digesting pie should take
ONE SPOONFUL simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in
Adler-i-ka. This flushes the ENTIRE
bowel tract, removes foul matter
which poisoned your stomach for
months and relieves ANY CASE
sour stomach, gas or constipation
and prevents appendicitis. Leaves
stomach in condition to digest ANY
THING.. A. D. Thompson, druggist.
