A Good Looking Man
To be really good looking a man must have a good
skin—a skin that is clear, sound and healthy. Such a skin is
bound to be accompained by a fine COMPLEXION, which
is the leading essential of good looks in either man or woman
But it is impossible to have a fine skin unless care is bestowed
upon it—aspecially in the case [of men, who subject to
more exposure than women.

NO ( IKE IN CLIMATE
Public health officials at Wash
ington have sent out a general
warding to the effect that a change
in climate by itself is i.ot likely to
cure tuberculosis, and that the
practice of sending consumptives to
one con'rul point, for a cure, is to
be deplored. That is exactly in ac
cordance with experience. The prac
tice, which prevail".! sr. widely, un
til within the past ten years, of
sending consumptives to the Rocky
Mountain states, was 'i many cases
cruel and wholly wrong. And in tli
ilesrce it is almost as bad today, to
send consumptives to sanitariums,
when they can be n:ore benefited
at home. That is just as true in
Massachusetts as elsewhere. This
commonwealth will never success
fully extinguish the great white
plague until the relief of most con
Mtmptivesz is given to them in
their own homes, undor competent
state and local inspection; for the
immediate surroundings of ti e av
erage consumptive count tremend

Nil DIVIDEND
Unanimity was the keynote of the
annual general meeting of the White
Pass & Yukon Route held in Lon
don, Dei-. 16. The directors should
feel gratified in the confidence
placed in them, especially as the
chairman, G. Colin Macrae, had to
explain why it had been decided to
pass the dividend in spite of the
fact that the company had a bet
ter showing than in the previous
year. The report—which was adopt
ed unanimously—shows a profit of
£ 41,018.S3, and after providing for
all charges and sinking fund re
quirements there is £25,800 to go
forward.
The report stated that on the rail
divisiou the compauy had carried
10,898 passegers and hi,517 tons
of freight. The operating expenses
of the rail division shows a decrease
of $42,318, as compared with the
previous year, and a decrease of
$109,440 as compared with 1910.
As regards the river division the
fleet carried 4,917 passengers and
16,723 tons of revenue freight.
The ehairinaan in his speech
pointed out that although he was
only supposed to be dealing with
ihe affairs of the company in 1913,
: hings had happened his year which
compelled him to take heed of
ihem. The competltiion of the line
going to St. Michael had become
.so keen that a rate war had resulted,
iie believed that the effect had only
been to strengthen the company in
the long run. But the fight which
had been thrust upor. them might
become very costly. They were
lighting for their existence and it
was necessary for thero to main
tain their cash resources. It was
necessary therefore, that the div
idend should be passed in spite of
■ heir increased profits.
O. L. Dickeson, president of the
company, read a statement which
explained a little more fully the
trouble to which the chairman had
referred. He said:
"As a result of conditions grow
ing out of a policy spiead over a
period of years of handling busi
ness destined to Dawson, a very
serious situation arose \* hich threat
ened to divert to the St. Michael
route a large portion oi the traffic
which we feel should properly be
routed over our line. Negotiations
for the adjustment of these condi
tions were carried on for a consid
erable period without, however, any
acceptable conclusion being reached,
and at hist it becamo necessary to
establish an entirely new connection
for the interchange of traffic at
Dawson in order to preserve our
interests. Two new, modern boats
of American register were construct
ed for this purpose and were plac
ed in operation between Dawson and
Fairbanks on the lower river. As
a result of the estaDiisnment 01 uu»
new connection giving a thoroug
service to Fairba iks we received ap
proximately $250,000 of gross rev
ei.ues which we should not otherwise
have received. The establishment of
this brought aabout a most vigorous
rate war cn the Yukon liver. Rate
ware are usually disastrous to all
writes engaged, but our railway oc
cupied the peculiar oosition of ob
taining additional traffc at accept
able rates sufficient to offset the re
ductions which were made on the ri
er to meet the cut in rates, while at
the same time our competitors han
dled at a loss ail the traffic deliv
ered by them to us as a direct re
sult of ♦he war. Further, one of th
ocean lines having n regular eetab- ]
lished service from Seattle to Skag- ,
way, as well as to St. Michael, un- i
dertook to divert a large part of the i
traffic to the St. Michael route, dis- I
I criminating against their Skagway
route and our line. This made it I
necessary for us at once to arrange i
erms rvilh a new and independent
line of steamers to handle the traf
fic we control on tae ocean; and <
the White Pass company could bet- ]
ter afford to keep such arrange
ment in effect permanently, even
at a heavy loss of handling the
traffic on the ocean, than forego its i
fair share of the Yukon traffic over j
the railway. It is not unlikely, <
that this state of chaos in the hand
ling of the ocean traffic may con-tin- )
ue and if so, it is inevitable tha*
we should at once take into consid- <
eration the question of the estab- •
lishment of a permanent first class
line to handle both freight and pass
enger business between Seattle, Van
couver and Skagway. We should be
fiee from all risk o* discrimination
against us on the ocean and be able
to pursue an unhampered policy in
the steady development of business
for our route.
It is satisfactory *o be able to
state that in spite of the rate war
the company's gross revenue by the
end of J'ecember will be approxim
ately $215,000, a slight Increase
over that of 1912".—News.
