It is with pleasure that we take
our pen la hand this morning to
correct an error which crept Into
our columns yesterday, although
this paper uses every known
ineihrU, from a check protecto
graph to Burrows adding machine,
and at times we even go so far
?& to have the printer's devil read
proof, in order to protect our read
ers from being handed misleading
information.
Yesterday we stated that among
the passengers to urrive from
Wait?norse was "Harry Page, who
was contractor for and has just
completed the new hospital at
Whitehorse." Mr. Page has no de
sir# to take the credit from the
one to whom credit is slue, and
today he called at this office and
in a friendly; chat placed us right
in regard to his position and at the
same time gave us much interest
ing information relative to the new
building.
Mr. Page stated that the buuaing
was constructed under the supervi
sion of W. H. Simpson, and that in
stead of being done by contract
work, was all done by day labor.
Mr. Page was one of the workers
on the building, he having worked
on the concreto aa well as upon
the wood work of the balding.
said that the work jvas done by the
best mechanics obtainable in White
horse and the Yukon, and that the
material, lumber, concrete and
hardware, as well as the interior fix
tures and other equipment had all
been brought in from the outside.
"In my opinion," to quote Mr.
Page, "the new hospital is the fin
es1 building in the Yukon. It is
thoroughly up to date, and the sani
tary equipment and modern conven
iences aro tho best to be had,
equalling those used in the best
buildings throughout the country
built for hospital purposes."
The building will bo opened by a
grand ball, to be. in the nature of
a housewarming, which will be giv
en on New Year's day, to which, it
i3 the intention of the committee
having the arrangements in hand,
to invite the Skagwav band and the
Skagway orchestra to be present,
and residents °f this town will Ibe
invited to join the City by the Rap
ids on the above mentioned date.

PARISIAN IVORY ALWAYS
IX MILADY'S FAVOR
It is said that no other voeuo
iii the modern history of w0lneu's
fads hag enjoyed the continued
and universal popularity that has
been the lot of Parisian, ivory. It
has for so long been a feminine
foiblo ci- fashion that it has al
mos* established itself as a tradition
and has taken a place with its
edged-out contemporaries, ebony
and s'erling, as a permanent ac
cessory for milady'a dressing table.
Complete sets and single pieces
to complet sets are more in demand
this season than over by the Bchool
girl, the college girl, the bride, or
housewife or grandmother.
No. etore_ has a more complete or
satisfactory display of Parisian
Ivory than Keller Bros. Drug
company. This was secured by
them in the East on an order placed
last spring with the Arlington Ivory
company, the largest manufacturers
r.f this ware lu the country. It
will pay you to see this display and
buy early.
Send the Dally Alaskan to your
friends. It's easier than writing
letters.

WORTH KNOWING.
Hints About the Good Cars of 8impl«
Things.
Do you know that you can restore
the flue color to your turquoises by Im
mersing them In a solution of carbon
ate of soda? This applies to the com
mon turquoise and not to those of
the orient, the color of which does not
change.
Jet Is very popalar at the moment,
and yet few know how to clean It
Breadcrumbs reduced Into small parti
cles and introduced Into all the curves,
hollows and crevices of the Jewelry
while rubbing with a flannel Is a most
excellont method.
Card parties will soon be In order,
and it may be that you have a number
of soiled packs on hand. If so, why
not clean them? A penny saved, you
know. Here is a very reliable formula:
Bring a quart of water, to which have
been added tweuty grams of soap bark,
to a boll. Continue ebullition for a
few minutes; then add fifteen grams
each of borax and starch which have
been mixed with a little water. Boll
mixture for about ten minutes; then
cool and filter and put into corked bot
tle. In using It rub the surfaces of the
cards lightly with a sponge saturated
with the mixture, drying them instant
ly with an old absorbent piece of linen.
Economy is wealth, they say. Then
why not mal'e a good and inexpensive
household vinegar at this time? Cut
apple and pear peelings and put them
into a Jar; pour water over them and
also a little vinegar, sour beer or wine.
After stirring well cover with a ltoen
cloth and leave in a warm room. In
two or three weeks the vinegar will be
ready for use.
