FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
THRIVE MOMENTOl> PERIODS IX
1917
Retrospect of the year 1»17,
memorable in the history of the
war and the eistory of the human
race, -will always separate that
Jwelve month into three perioJs. The
momentous political events of
■pring and early summer, comprising
the Russiau revolution, the entry of
the United States into war, and
the breaking if relations with Ger
many by most of the neutral out
aide world, made up the first. The
military events of summer and
early autumn, with their extraordin
arily varied story of the Russian
army's disintegration, th<» Al
lied successes on the
western front, the reverses of the
Italian army, and the virtual de
feat of the German submarine cam
paign, came nest.
But the yeaT closed, as it was
bound to do in default of a decis
ive Tictorv, with the economic devet
opments of the day, and the conse
quences which attended them, tak
ing the foremost place in public
interest. What those consequences
were the laps© of Russia into an
anapeby. wita a usurping Socialist
government treating separately
with 'he enemy, has shown the most
strikingly; yet they have also been
indicated by 'he increasing demand,
t>y no means least urgent in Ger
many, that the war somehow be
ended. The upshot of this reac
tion of economic conditions upon
tflitical conditions remains to be ful
ly disclosed in the progress of
events.—Alexander Dana Xoyes in
the Financial World of the Jnau
ary Scribner.
TEAM WORK IS NEEDED
In every country at war there is
considerable hoarding of food, and
It e United States Is no exception. The
oresent situation of sugar has more
to do with this than any other
cause and it is obvious from the
very large demind of flour in bar
rels and the generally increased
flour demand that this trade is al
so affected. Salt, matches and
Cher commodities have also been
drained from many markets. The
causes eeem to be a combination
of creed, fear and in some places
p-ropoganda. • ;
Movements of this sort could
quite well bring the whole army to
disaster. If every home bought a
barrel of flour it would represent
one-fifth of our entire annual pro
duction, It has proceeded far
enough in the flour trades to make
control of prices by the food admin
istration difficult; for the mills. I
aJthongh runnlrn: at 130 percent'
normal eat>acitv, are unable to keep j
pace with the ''em'ads. It clouds

Every American householder can neip wn» :

while the same person may eat
weekly less flour, we u-re simply at
&ea to know what our exportable re
sources might |)0. AVe do uot be

cities with few exceptions as ail
statistics of flour car arrivals and
departure ind'cut" a considerable re
duction of flour iutake in those cen

Jiveryone should beaT these facta
in mind, and act accordingly. The
conservation of food is just merely
tbe using Of good common sense, but
if a larger number of our people
get off on a tangent, those who are
tryias to abide by the food laws
will suffer. Team work is required
to win the war, team work on the
battle front and team work at
home.
SAYS THE WAR WILL END IX
MARCH, 1018
Gabriel Xieth, astrologer, who
made soiue rather startling predic
tions lor the year 1917, when view
ed by the events which took place
during 1917 following her forecast,
is out with a forecast for 1918 and
claims that the war will end in
March and there Is likely to be
trouble in Alaska.
Speaking of Alaska she says:
The autumnal quarter, to Decem
ber 21, warns the United States to
be on guard against the treachery)
of foreign powers, plots and
sthesnes, with possibly a
I sudden thraat of war or of new
movements of troops. Difficult
and dange-rous relations with neigh
ooring nations on foreign matters
are indicated. This may come
about by trade matters, the death
of citizens, or broken agreements;
but it may also be with the pos
sessions of the United State,
the Philippines, Alaska or the
West Indies, rather than actual
hostility i'or the United States. It
may bring troubles affecting trans
portation, and possible wrecks, I
Btcrrms and loss of life on the1
coasts.

Earned Reputation
For mouths Skagway readers
have seeu the coustant expres
sion. of praise for Doan's Kidney
Pills, and read about the good
work they have doue, What other
remedy ever produced such con
vincing proof of merit?
Andrew Martin, 721 F Street, Sa
cramento, Calif., says: "Exposure
to dampness and bad jveather at
my work brought on kidney trouble
years ago. \ steady ache in the
small of my back caused me a great
deal of suffering. My kidneys act
ed too often au<* that broke up my
rest at nigiht. My back was so
weak and painful I could hardly
stoop over to pick up anything and
it was just as hard to straighten
arain. Doan's Kidney Pills gave
me more help than I had ever re
ceived from any other medicine."
(Statement given Jan. 15, 1916.)
On April 10, 1917, Mr. Martin
added: "It has been a long time
since I have needed Doan's Kidney
Pills, but my faith in them hasn't
changed."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney PiUs—the same
that Mr. Martin had. Foster-Mll
