* WORLD-TELEGRAM LATEST
PAPER OUT IN NEW YORK
NEW • YORK.—The New York
1 World-Telegram, 48 pages, appeared
- as the result of the consolidation of
- the Evening, Morning and Sunday
Worlds with the Telegram.
-.-They were sold by Ralph, Joseph
- Jr., and Herbert Pulitxer to the
- Scripps-Howard syndicate .at a cost
• estimated at $5,000,000. It was the
>- biggest newspaper transaction in the
history of this country.
-The sale of the Worlds occurred
within two hours after Surrogate
- - James A. Foley decided the late Jo
- seph Pulitzer’s will requiring his sons
- to perpetuate the papers would not
prevent the sale to the Telegram.
The Pulitzers said economic condi
■ tions forced the sale. Five hundred
- thousand dollars of the proceeds will
be distributed among the 2,800 em
i' ployes.
Gathering in the editorial rooms
! for farewells, tears and songs before
tlie surrogate’s decision, the employes
made a dramatic egort to raise
pledges to enable them to purchase
the papers, but failed to obtain any
where neat enough to accomplish the
purpose.

OCEAN LINERS POWERED BY
RADIO MAY COME IN TIME
LONDON.—Speaking in a some
i what whimsical vein, the Earl of
I 'nchcape, shipping magnate, envi
sioned a possible future when ocean
i liners would be propelled, heated and
j lighted by wireless from a central
' power station ashore, or even by the
shackled rays of the sun.
“What the future may hold ex
pressed in power units and their ap
plication,” he said, “no man alive to
day can foretell.”

Revigator Restores Water’s
Lost Element
THE NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN SCIENCE
THE most important thing: in life is health. We eannot con
tinue to live healthfully unless we live with some respect
to the laws of nature. Life is but cellular buildiny and cellu
lar elimination. This lost element of water is Radio-activity,
which both creates cellular energy and removes cellular poisons.
Sir Arbuthnot Lane, the great English physician, says “Moat
diseases are directly traceable to bad drainage in the body”_to
the accumulation of clogging waste matter or poiaona at vital
organs.
For centuries the world has recognized the value of h+eHh
springs, and medical officers now attribut the value of the f»ra
ous springs to the natural radio-activity of their waters. This
radio-activity is one of nature’s ways of dissolving and elimin
ating these health-destroying poisons and building cells
and tissues.
It is now possible for everyone, sick or well, to have perpetu
ally, and at reasonable cost, the splendid benefits of a genuine
radio-active health spring in the home through this invention—
THE REVIGATOR WATER JAR.

America along Bering Sea and the
Arctic Ocean is another stretch of
1,000 miles of treeless coast which
s.eeps in the dakness beneath the
.snow through the greater part of the
year and breaks into a.sudde verdure
in the brief but long-dayed summer,
This is the realm of the Eskimo.
Far into the interior where reach
the Yukon, the Porcupine and the
Koyukuk rivers, live.the Athabascans,
most isolated of all human heings on
this continent. It is probable that
there are groups of Americans at
these headwaters who have -never
been seen by white men and who do
not know that a world beyond exists.
Down the fringe of Alaska that
reaches furthest south, where the cli
mate is warmer ,are to he found the
Thlingets, the Hydas, anil the Met
lakatlans, not unlike the Indians of
the Northwestern States. In villages
than range in population from 30 to
400, these people live, each village
largely a unit unto itself.
Aireauy many r.sKimos nave re
placed their igloo homes, which were
dirty and insanitary, with homes
built largely under the direction of
American school teachers. They arc
coming to live as do civilized people.
The young Eskimos all speak Eng
lish and read and write. They have
been taught ventilation, sanitation,
personal cleanliness,
j Into these communities go Amer
ican teachers. A man and his wife
may be stationed at a point far out
on the Aleutians. A zealous young
woman may go alone X> a native vil
lage far inland hundreds of miles
from the nearest railroad and there
; remain for years, snowed in for
: months at a time. A venturesome
youth may take a place in the Arctic
and find, in the molding of a human
communty out of a plastic race, a
task so fascinating that he lingers
long in workin gout his experiments.
In the Alaska native community
the school is the center of all activ
ity—social, industrial and civic. The
teacher is guide, leader and much
else the community may demand. To
be “teacher” in the narrow school
room sense is the least of his duties
in Alaska. He must often be physi
cian, nurse, postmaster, business
manager, wireless operator, and com
munity builder.
There are comfortable schobl
buildings, all of them built of wood,
in all the populous villages. There
are three industrial boarding schools

for natives. The school buildings are
likely to contain, in addition to the
recitation room, an industrial room,
kitchen, quarters for the teacher, and
a laundry and baths for the use of
the native communty.
Sixteen stations are maintained to
which trained nurses are atached. In
mast of the settlements the nurses
live in quarters provided for the
teaching staff, meet the people in
their homes, study their problems
and become their adviser.
Most unique among the enterprises
of the Government in reaching the
Alaska native with medical care is a
little gasoline launch 25 feet long, its
tiny bunkers stocked with medicine,
surgical implements and supplies,
which' every summer goes on a long
cruise* from village to village up the
Yukon river. The medical officer who
is skipper for this launch thus makes
an annual call at each of scores of
native villages and offers to those j
suffering infirmities whatever relief
medicine-or surgery, under the eir-i
cumstancesj may -bring.

task as to both education and health
6f the natives within continental

problems in Alaska, and the present

that these functions more properly

a researc hagency such as the Office
