l
ordinarily is termed moderation.
“A man often will have his alloted
daily ration of so many pipes, ci
gars or cigarettes, but a woman is
more unstable and less capable of
self-control than a man/’ the author
1 contends. As a rule, he believes, a
woman smoker does not appear to
know what moderation means any
more than a woman drinker.
Concerning the effect of excessive
cigarrette smoking upon a woman’s
beauty the doctor sas; “Observe a
girl who smokes excessively, and you
will also notice that she looks under
nourished, with staring eyes and a
yellowish skin. To make matters
worse the smoke dried throat experi
ences a false thirst, and thus more
liquid than is necessary is consumed
an an alcohol habit set up. The cock
tail and the cigarette always go to
( gether.”
Alcohol generally, Dr. Webb-John
son maintains, spoils beauty in wo
; men because it makes superfluous fat.
Men Never Have
Penetrated Parts of
Whatcom County
BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 2. (£>)
—One of the last unexplored frontiers
of the United States lies in Whatcom
county, fifty miles east of Bellingham.
The district which embraces ap
proximately 200 square miles, lies be
tween Sourdough Mountain and the
peaks Mt. Baker and Shuksen. It
contains an almost impenetrable for
est and a number of unnamed moun
tains whose elevations reach 8,900 ft.
The county is a great game sanc
tuary, there being seen around the
edges of the district large brown,
black, and silver-tip bears, deer and
other wild animals. One of the moun
tains contains big glaciers.
Forestry rangers, who have a look
out station north of Sourdough Mt.
declare that hikers can work into tiie
heart of the district along the high
levels of Sourdough Mountain and
along arms of other peaks of the
range. They doubt whether pack
horses can be taken into the center
of the district.
Two thirds of Whatcom County is
I in a _ forest reserve. Less than a
: third has been surveyed.

CONFIDENT MUCH
ACTIVITY WIDE
BAY THIS FALL
Ben Poindexter, who has been affili
ated with Alaskan affairs for many
years past in the capacity of geolo
gist and engineer, is ni Seward for a
brief period, completing arrangements
for going into the Iniskin Bay dis
trict. He is representing several oil
claims in the region, besides holding
a number of claims of his own, which
he located some years ago.
Jack McCord and his party includ
ing two geologists, are now on the
ground and will make a thorough in
vestigation of the oil claims. Provid
ing report on the claims is favorable
the option which the Union Oil Com
pany is holding will be exercised and
the claims tied in to the companies
property. In the event oil is struck,
an arrangement has been made in
which the present owners of the
claims will enjoy a royalty from the
company.
Mr. Poindexter, who is making the
Hotel Van Gilder his headquarters,
said he anticipated leaving Seward
for Anchorage where he would go
down the bay in a small boat. How
ever he may change his mind and go
westward on the steamer Starr. A
member of the engineering staff of
the field division of the land office,
under George A. Parks, will accom
pany Mr. Poindexter on the trip. Fol
lowing the completiou of his work in
the district he will go over to the
Wide Bay country where he will join
forces with Otis Ross and W. W.
French, who will shortly begin con
struction of the road from Wide Bay
to Hubbell Dome.
It is quite possible that machinery
will be landed at Wide Bay this fall,
Mr. Poindexter stated; providing the
plans are not carried out machinery
and equipment for oil drilling will be
landed next spring. There is one
stretch of the road at the pass which
must be in good condition w'hen the
machinery is hauled in, otherwise
trouble will be encountered, and it
is on this account only that the de
lay may occur. Due to the strong re
commendations which Wide Bay has
received Mr. Poindexter is under the
impression that considerable new ac
tivity will be noted about the district
this fall.

Ruffe Makes Apologies
For Losing Temper
BERLIN, May 30. (£>)—An exhibi
tion of temperament, characteristic in
many' artists of various callings, was
given by Titta Ruffo, the Italian bari
tone when he made his first appear
ance in Berlin opera. Singing the
title role in Rigoletto,” the singer
complained in the third act that Con
ductor Dobrowen was moving too
slowly for him. After signalling re
peatedly to the conductor, Ruffo lost
patience and with one bound wras be
side the prompter’s box, gesticulat
ing frantically.
Two factions were formed immedi
ately in the audience, one for the
singer and the other siding with the
conductor. So much opposition rose
that it was impossible to continue
the peitormance and the orchestra
proved its loyalty to the conductor by
refusing to play until Ruffo apologiz
ed. This Ruffo readily agreed to do,
appearing before the curtain and af
ter expressing his regrets to the con
ductor for the incident, embraced and
kissed him.

OH! MY BACK!
It isn’t right to suffer day in and
day out with dull, unceasing back
ache. Or be utterly miserable with
sharp stabs of pain whenever you
stoop or lift. But chances are you
will suffer these tormenting aches
and pains as long as your weakened
kidneys are neglected. You may
have headaches, too, spells of diz
ziness and urinary disorders. Then
use Doan’s Pills—a stimulent diuretic
to the kidneys. Experiences of folks
in this locality prove the merit of
Doan’s.
Mrs.( J. J. Robinson, 730 Exchange
St., Astoria, Ore., says: “My kid
neys were out of order and I had a
sort of dull aching across my back
and felt dull and languid. Headaches
were frequent and I had no energy.
My kidneys acted irregularly, too.
I read of Doan’s Pills and used them
as directed. Doan’s soon relieved
the backache and other signs of kid
ney trouble.”
