TO MEET
FRIDAY
Members of all Fourth o'July
committees and business men and
all others interested in the Fourth
celeoration this year are requested
to meet at the town hall Friday
night at 8 o'olock to prepare plans
for the affair.
It is the intention of the commit
tee to make the celebration of the
a.nniversary of tlie signing of the
Declaration of independence e big
affair a,nd new ideas will be worked
out with this end in view. The
time is limited, as it is necessary
to get invitatons over to White
horse and Haines and the post and
the Gastineau Channel cities im
mediately, bo that people at those
places may make their plans in or
der to attend, and it is necessary
that steps be taken immediately
for transportation arrangements
and base nail matches and other
sporting events.
MAY PUT STRIPING ON SOCKS
Fancy stripes on the tops of Red
Cross socks are recommended for
three reasons: to relieve the ted
ium of the work, to enable the knit
ter to use ud odd bits of yarn, and
to lie^p the oldier keep his socks
mated and identified. Bright col
ored yarn, however, should not be
used. Soldiers are often wet to
the knee for many hours, and the
water-soaKed skin is likely to ab
sorb any free dye. White and
shades of gray are advised for the
stripes.

daughter, Miss Floss Watts, will

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
■"Pimples.
The story of pimples and how
. not to have them is a short one
to relate, but to put Into prac
tice and accomplish results Is
•quite another story. It Is diffi
cult. first, because people who
have pimples want to get rid of
them without paying the price
of roruovIn.T the .cause. They
want to get something for noth
ing and wouiil rather speud sums
of money to have them removed
with nasty medicine, if it were
possible, than go about it In
the only natural and possible
way. Another reason why it is
difficult for most people to re
move pimples is that it demands
a change of not n few of their
living habits—the eating of can
dies. meats and heavy foods
without drinking sufficient Aba
ter and taking plenty of exer-.
else. In other words, they would
rather eat candy and loll aronqd
with pimples than word hard,
get sweaty perhaps and keep
the skin rubbed clean. Pimples
have rightly been called indi
gestion bumps. They follow the
eating of rich, heavy foods and
sweets and are an Indication of
an Inactive life plus nn indul
gent appetite.

dance given by the Loyal Order of

who are singing "Good by Alaska—
Hello France," in the Arctic Bro
therhood Hall on Saturday evening,
was the largest gathering ever held
In the hall.
The hall was densely packed and
"when dancing wa« in progress quite
a number preferred to stay out of
doors, so as to give room to the
dancers. Selmer's orchestra from
Ska^way furnished the best of mua
I ic. A capacity loM of the good
| ueople of Skagway came down oa
the Harbor Boat Peterson, to at*
! tend the dance.
Camp Haines of the Arctic Bro
therhood donated the use of their
hall free of charge, which helped a
little in the matter.
A bounteous lunch was served by
the managers of the affair, which
deserve^ special ment'on as being
one of the best ever served la
the Hall. Dancing continued un
til about three in the morning,
when the party broke up, and every
one went home feeding that they
had soent one of the most enjoyable

sad thought would intrude itself,
that these boy6, our beloved Ameri

lives for the freedom for which A*
