The Loyal Order of Moose, founded as it is upon the
true manhood theory, is surely an organization that ap
peals to the person who is interested in the uplift of hu
manity and the betterment of conditions along all lines.
This order is one whose great endeavor is the amalgama
tion of the better element of each community into one
Big Brotherhood whose objects and aims are the advance
ment of social, educational and moral development, and in
view of this fact the Order solicits all men of the Cauca
sian race of good moral character to Join its ranks and as
sist in the great work that has now advanced from the
stage of theory to realization. The world admires a man
who is willing to sacrifice for others, but when the sacri
fice is a pleasure and brings benefits directly to him it
then becomes a business proposition. The Order has now
passed the million mark In numerical strength and Is mak
ing wonderful strides In the fraternal world. We are pre
paring for the future of our membership by building Vo
cational 8chools, Homes for the Widows and Orphans and
Homes for the Aged. Each member contributes $1.00 per
year for the maintenance of these institutions. Think
what one million dollars will do to provide for the help
less. It will sweep away pain from countless sickbeds and
bring hope to the aged and homeless. We accept all men
of the Caucasian race between the ages of 21 and 55 years.
Men over the age of 55 years may Join as non-beneficial
members. There are Moose Lodges In nearly every Alas
kan city and Valdez will soon be in line with the others.
For particulars write J. FREDERICK JOHNSON, National
Organizer.

THE REAL RUSSIA.
It Is Confined to a Very Small Section
| of the Vast Empire.
In “The Russian Empire, Today and
Yesterday,” Kevin O. Winter says:
“In a strict sense, real Russia cov
ers only a portion of the more than
2,000,000 square miles that lie within
the borders of the continent. This
narrower definition would certainly
eliminate Finland, Roland, the Baltic
provinces, Bessarabia and the Cauca
sus and probably a part of the land of
.the Don Cossacks, the Crimea and the
sections bordering on the Arctic ocean
and the lower Volga. In other words,
the real Russia has developed within
this narrower section, and whatever
of Russian characteristics appear in
the eliminated sections hove simply
been imposed by the conquerors upon
a people alien by birth and language.
“The actual visible influence of Tol
stoy on Russia seems not to have been
great. He was beloved and reverenc
ed by many, but no party claims or
has ever claimed him ns a leader. The
higher classes rejected him because of
his opposition to all established gov
ernment: the peasantry were repelled
by his diatribes against religion: the
revolutionists and anarchists repudiat
ed his teaching because he had no
definite plan to offer. His influence on
thought and opinion in Russia will
not compare with his influence in non
Russian nations."
PHOSPHITE NOT PHOSPHATE.
The Proper Sodium Solution te Use In
Bichloride Poisoning.
In n recent issue of a well known
medical journal the statement is made
that mercuric chloride poisoning can be
treated by the use of sodium phos
phate with excess of sodium bicar
bonate. Thus, editorially, the same
journal says: “This solution, it Is claim
ed, instantly converts the bichloride to
the mild chloride, which can be remov
ed by a dose of castor oil. It is very
necessary that the sodium phosphate
shall be chemically pure."
“Attention should therefore again be
called to the fact” says the Journal of
the American Medical Association,
“that the names ‘sodium phosphate’
and ‘sodium phosphite’ are so similar
that a serious error can be made by
the misprinting or misinterpretation of
a single letter. Sodium phosphite has
been suggested as an antidote to mer
curic chloride because it acts as a re
ducing ngent to convert mercuric chlo
ride into calomel—mercurous chloride
while the phosphite is changed to phos
phate. Sodium phosphate will have no
such action on mercuric chloride be
cause It is already as highly oxidized
as possible.”
An Eccentric Russian Doctor.
The famous Russian, the late Dr.
Zahnrin, was noted for his eccentric
methods. When summoned to attend
Czar Alexander III. in his last Illness
Dr. Zaharin required the same prep
aration for his visit to the palace as
to any of his patients’ houses. That Is
to say, all dogs had to be kept out of
the way, all clocks stopped and every
door thrown wide open. He left his
furs in the hall, his overcoat in the
| next room, his galoshes in the third
and. continuing, arrived at the bedside
in ordinary indoor costume. He sat
down after walking every few yards
and every eight steps in going up
stairs. From the patient’s relatives
and every one else in the house he re
quired absolute silence until he spoke
to them, when his questions had to be
answered by “Yes” or “No" and noth
ing more.
Tail of the Possum.
An old negro was out with a hunter
one day. The two found a peculiar
track. Following the line of what were
plainly footprints was a small, contin
uous furrow.
“What kind of a track Is that, Jim?’
asked the puzzled hunter.
“Dat’s a possum track, sah!” ex
plained the old negro.
“But how does he make that fur
row?”
“He makes dat furrer wid his tali.”
“With his tail?"
“Yes. suh. He lets his tail drag.”
“Why do you suppose he lets it
drag?"
“Ah doan’ know, boss. I Jes’ reckln
he doan’ pay no ’tention to dat tail.
S’pose he thinks it’ll come along, any
how.”—Louisville1 Times.
Couldn't Blamo the Pump.
A lumberman having awakened on a
Sunday morning in a “dry town” aft
er a big spree of the night before
searched his pockets in vain. Being
very thirsty, he remembered stum
bling over a pump in the alley back of
the hotel.
He hastened to the pump and began
pumping, but without results, as the
pump had not been primed. He slow
ly backed away and. eyeing the pump,
snid: ‘Well, I don’t blame you for not
working, anyhow. I wouldn’t patron
ize you when I had money.”—Ex
change.
Plain Hint.
“Miss Enid,- began a young mnn—
“or Enid. I mean—I’ve known you long
enough to drop the •Miss,- haven’t IV"
“Yes; I think you have,” she said,
looking at him steadily. “What prefix
do you wish to substitute!"—London
