WHITE CLOTHES HEALTHFUL
Ssorstary of Kinoao 8tata Board 8ayo
Blaok Attire Moans Discomfort.
Topeka, Kan.—Dr. J. O. Crumblne,
secretary of tbe state board of bealtb,
would make tbe main streets of all
Kansas towns resemble tbe promenade
of a tropical city.
He has addressed a circular to the
men of Kansas asking them to discard
their blue and black summer clothing
for white. He wears white during the
hot season and says It pays. Also, be
would discard Ice water as a menace
to health.
“Women have learned the value of
white dresses In tbe summer time,"
said Dr. Crumblne, “1 can’t understand
why the men haven’t learned tbe les
son long ago. Anything that resists
heat In the summer makes for health.
Black, blue or any other dark cloth Is
a heat absorbent and injurious.
“Our summer temperatures are as
high and sometimes higher, than In the
tropics. The fact that the air Is dryer
is all that saves us. White clothes In
tbe tropics are not a whim of fashion.
They are a tribute to necessity and
health.
“The man In dark, heavy clotblng al
ways Is rushing to the Ice water,” con
tinued Dr. Crumblne. “And ten to one
be will have a grouch on. while the
cool man In white clotblng la serene
and even tempered. Tbe lee water,
dark clothing and tbe grouch are det
rimental to public and private health."
SAYS VICE CRUSADE HARMS.
Poor Girl* No Worn Than Others,
Adda W. H. Allan.
Madison, Wls.—“We must stop the
morbid discussion of Tice from the pub
pit,” Dr. William H. Allen, bead of the
New York bureau of municipal re
search, told the anti-vice committee of
the Wisconsin legislature. “If discus
sion of this subject by women and
others should be omitted for ten years,"
be adds, “there would be wholesome
Improvement.
“This country Is about to pay heavily
for this anti-vice crusade. It Is rank
est Injustice to poor girls to say that
evil exists more among them than
among others. There is no evidence
that vice is on the Increase. It is prob
ably on the decrease.”
The Rev. E. G. Opdlke of the First
Congregational church said that moral
conditions, notably among university
students, are better than twenty years
ago, and the conduct of the students Is
generally good and steadily improving
FRANCE AROUSED BY
PUBLIC MEN’S LIVES
!
Scandals Brought to Light by
Recent Shooting.
Paris.—The Paris press is foreshad
owing an approaching exposure in the
private life of one of the most power
ful statesmen in France which may
cause a revolution in the matrimonial
standard demanded of high officials of
the government, hitherto elected to
office regardless of the most flagrant
violations of prtvute morality.
The exposure In question, which
awaits investigation by detectives In
the United States, Is directed point
blank at the enforced resignation of
President Poincare and undoubtedly
Is purely political in that respect But
It is part of a widespread movement
throughout the country which was
started almost Immediately after Pres
ident Poincare was Installed in the
Elysee with the wife he married im
mediately after he. as her lawyer, had
obtained for her a divorce from her
former husband, a cab driver
That time. Poincare was an Italian
by birth «nd bad been an actress on
the vaudeville stage did not serve as
a protection against her enemies. They
have been able to strengthen their
campaign against her by the fact that
her husband has compelled the gov
ernment to give her a place in society
which the wives of other presidents of
France did not have.
And ont of the furious agitation over
the murder of Editor Calmette of the
Figaro by Mine. Calllaux, wife of the
minister of finance, the movement for
a moral standard in politics gathered
many recruits. They are uniting to
produce some decided action at the
time of lime. Caillaux’s trial. The
press calls attention to the fact that
she is a divorcee, that the man she
murdered had been divorced, that
Calllaux had been divorced twice and
that the defending lawyer, Laborl, is
the husband of a divorcee, the former
wife of the famous musician, De Pach
mann, whose divorce was obtained by
La boil's legal efforts.

DEMONSTRATION OF BIG
HEARTS OF ALASKANS
The heart of the "roughneck” Is as
big as a wagon wheel. According to
his means and the hard way In which
he gets his money. The workingman
of Fairbanks and vicinity is a prince
of royal blood. Rivaling even the
famous “baby stocking fund" In the
early days of t' e camp was the sum
raised to save the arm of a Servian,
George Aidukovich. The workingmen
contributed $l,20n from scanty pokes
with a grace that wealthier men
might imitate. One gave $100, oth
ers $50, and one man who earned $25
by working day and night on a rall
road bridge over Headman’s slough
(ilie first work he had done for sev
en months) gave it all to the "one
iru>." fund.” If this isn’t perfect gen
rio. itv, it is something mighty near
like it. The old days and the old
ways will soon be mist behind us,
but of all the bright passages in the
life of tlie camp, tradition will call
ii)i no more unselfish incident than
the spectacle of knocked-about, un
counted and uncared for workingmen
giving their last dollar to save not
tlie life but tile good arm of a broth

FINGER PRINTS DISCLOSE
CANADIAN PAROLE BREAKER
A week or so ago an arrest was
made in Prince Rupert of three foreigp
ers. They were charged with gamb
ling. The line were paid, and finger
prints taken. Subsequently copies of
the prints were taken to Ottawa, this I
being the customary course.
The chief of police has just receiv
ed a letter from Ottawa to the effect
(hat one of the men whose linger
prints were taken, was sentenced in
Vancouver in 19X2 to two years im
prisonment. and after serving a year
was released on parole. The request !
was made that he be looked up. This I
was done and he is now in custody. !
The littlel incident shows the value j
of the linger print system and how |
it is possible to keep in touch with j
those who have come under the ob- 1
servation of the authorities.—Prince
Rupert Empire.
FOUR FOXES BRING
$1,950 AT FAIRBANKS
About two weeks ago Geo. Woods,
after a short trip with W. 1). Ricker
up the Kantishna and down the Tan- [
ana river, sold four foxes for $1,- 1
950. George L. Morrison at Hot
Springs bought two cross foxes and '
one silver- fox, while the other ail- |
Ver fox went to Gordon and Sterling -
here in Fairbanks for their farm on ]
the Chena. The silver foxes brought 1
$750 each and were splelndid speci
mens. Woods and Ricker traveled
in the new launch bought by them <
and recently named the "Godevil." |
It is a fast little craft of shallow -
draft and powerful enough to travel ,
up any of the rivers of the interior. '
They expect to leave for Ft. Ham- -
line on the Yukon within a day or ,
two. 1
The trapping of live foxes contin
ues to be diverting a large number In
to the fox Industry In spite of the
effect on the fur market of the Eu
ropean war. This winter will see the
fox grounds well trapped all over
the interior as the demand for live |
silver and cross foxes of fine breed
ing continues and they find a ready
sale at different fox farms.—Fair
