" OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
UK SCENT THE CENT
Some are bora with honors, aud
soma have honors thrust upon them
»ud it now looks ;ls though. Alaska
is in ior: the latter.
With the advent of the war tax,
the 3-cent letter postage the 1-cent
tax on movie admissions, aud the
increase tax on various commodi
ties, there is only, one alternative
left for the postmaster, the moving
yieture manager and the merchant,
ffhej-j will have to imyort the gay
and festive copper penny in or
der ro.muke change.
For a score of years Alaska has
kuown nothing smaller in Uncle
Sauij coins than the 5-ceut piece,
and those from the interior re
cognize nothing less than a two-bit
piece, but all this must fade away
aud pass into the dim aud misty
past. The copper cent must come,
aud with it, a raelization of the
purchasing powers of a hundredth
art of a dollax.|
A PEW DOLLAKS DOWN
To luduce saving and to foster
.he habit, every opportunity is ot
ered to get Liberty Bonds on easi
-«t payments. A few dollars down
'uys 'a bond. Banker* and employ
ra everywhere will arrange pay
ment terms. Those who have never
seen in a bank should be urged to
jo to any bank, step 'right in "in
/our everyday clothes"; for it's the
everyday man we want to help—all
>f us helping him to save so that
savings in turn help us. |We
tee, then, that no man or woman,
10 boy or girl, >'ith an earning
•ower, be the wages ever sg Bman,
an truthfully say "I can't afford to
ave Xorja, Liberty Bond."
Summarizing) the question of tax
's, *a may say to,the average man
buying not more than $1,000) that
hese 4 per cent bonds are free
rom all taxes as long a<j he lives,
''or him that simplest statement is
rue without qualifications. We
■ay safely say; *
"You pay no taxes—that's | all.
Neither national nor local taxeu.
'he assessor who comes around to
sk you about your jpersonal pro
ertjr has no right to even ask
ow many Liberty Bonds you own.
or that Is an affair between you |
ad the National Government."
Your Goyernmeit is by no means
>o rich to need the poor man's
50, for the Government Is really n
,iq but ourselves, simply all of us
igether, We elect men whom 'we
nploy to run the Governmnet.
Our Goyernment Treasury is like
common pot into •which.'we put
it money from time to time when

MiSTEftiOUS FISH
BOATS EAliS'Ct SUBS
Loudon,—Not until Gel-many lias
i>e©n floored for the tea-count
will the world have a peep at the
hystericus, odd-shaped fighters that
ara beating the submarine today;
ia England they ^re referred to
i vaguely as "mystery-ships" and
I "hush-boats." Imaginative people
| giro them fantastic shapes and en
dow them ■with, powers beyond the
dreams of the greatest naval design
ers. So perhaps the land-faring
folk will be disappointed when it's
all over and the hush-boats come
out of the haze to be looked at by
sea-port visitors.
Privileged visitors to the great
naval ba^es are extremely reticent
about the hush-bouts. For weeks
th« newspapers have been hinting
about (something they know but ha\f
crossed their hearts not to tell—
something about the new and mys
terious sea-rowdies which despise
naval foot-work but arefer to rush
in headlong and scrap it out with
the U-boat till one or the other
goes down.
The mystery-ship ranks with the
tanks as a feat of invention and con
struction, according to the jealous
guardians of the secret
King George inspected two new
types of vessels during his June
visit to the grand fleet. They were
in a class of their own and the
class was never mentioned to the
public.
Sea-monsters, mystery-ships, hush
boats—they account for pome of
the nigh, honors recently conferred
on naval officers.

which weighs 2S pounds.

What we need—you and I being
the Government—is not a pot full
of idle money, but many thrifty peo
ple ready to turn in (.to lend) their,
money (their savings) when need
ed. You can not raise billions J ex
cept from the millions.
The money comes back into our
own pockets; nearly all of the
money raised 011 Liberty Loans is
being spent in this country on pur

A Thorough Test
—- -
One To Convince the Most Skepti
tical Skagway Reader
The test of time is the test that
couatfe.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made
their reputation by effective action.
The following c;i«e is typical.
Skagway residents should be con
vinced.
The testimony is confirmed—the
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig
aored.
Mrs. Ellen Watson, 405 E. Thir
tieth St., Tacoma, Wasn., says: "Af
ter an operation and being jn the
hospital three months my kidneys
were weak. My back was lame and
there yms a heavy dull ache across
my loins. My kidneys sometimes
acted too frequently and lometimes
not often enough and bladder trou
ble caused me a great deal of dis
tress. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved
me of all that trouble." (State
ment given Nomnber 4, 1915.)
On May 23, 1917 Mrs. Watson
said: "I can never say enough in
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. They
cured me of kidney complaint and
the cure has lasted."
Price 60c, at all dealres. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Watson had. Foster
