"America For Americans
FOOD WINS THE WAR
DONT WASTE IT
GOVERNMENT TO ENCOURAGE
TOIR1ST TRAFFIC
Definite assurances to the eft'eit
that the federal government intends
to encourage tourist traffic during
'ha coming; season, despite th«? rail
roat situation, was contained in a
tale n am received t>>- Herbert Cuth
bert. executive secretary of the Paci
'ic Northwest Tourist Association,
from Stephen T. .Mather, director of
national parks in the United States
and an Official of the interior depa.t
meat.
The telegram reads: "Secretary
Lane announced today that tlie na
tional parks would open as usual
this year. Travelers will be carried
on regular trains, and will be cared
for at the hotels and camps as ua
Ja!.. S.. T. MATHER."
With this assurrance the Pacific
N'o-thwest Tourist Association lias
announced that it will euter the ex
ploitation campaign with renewed
zest, and we feel certain that steam
ship companies operating to Alaska
will take advantage of the announce
nent and renew their efforts to di
vert a great deal of this travel to
Alaska. The government rtcogniz
°s that in time of war especially,
oeoDle need vacations from the
strenuous duties to which they ar2
subjected for the most part of the
year, ana is going to do ail in its
Power to increase tourist travel.
Secretary Cuthbert in speaking of
I-an'.'s announcement says:
"On my recent visit to most or
the large Eastern cities, including
tnose or four Canadian provinces
outside ot the United States, I was
was more than ever impressed with
ihe interest being shown this section
of tf» country. This interest is not
nasaiTe, but real anxiety to be inform
td regarding the points of int 'rest
ia 'ha Pacific Northwest was shown
everywhere.
"At each of these bureaus I found
a welcarqe ear, and an urgent de
mand for publicity malter. At that
time the possible railroad trans
portation formed a problem none of
us were able to answer then.. This
*elegram from Mr. Mather assures
us <hat Mr.. Lane intends to foster
tbu tourist business, and we can
now make preparations for suitably
Biactag the attractions of our sec
tion of the country orvjperlv b:fore
thos<j contemplating summer tours.."

"Nobody loves a fat man," but when he Is wearing (lie uniform of an
American marine and Is in France serving his country, all changes and the fat
man becomes the idol of the people, especially the children. This jolly plump
Yankee marine is playing papa to these French kiddles aud he Is the "great

MANNING A CANOE.
The Bow Paddler Should Be Both Cool
Headed and Skillful.
Contrary to the general notion obout
the relative importance of those In a ca
noe's niaitning. the bow paddler stands
tirst. Anions Indian voyagers he Is the
captain of the caw ilis will is law.
?;ot arbitrarily Is a captain's power
vested in the bow paddler. It Is the
outcome of experience, and the basis of
it is skill. The advantage of a canoe
is this, tint, being lighter in draft
than any other known craft. It can be
taken into very shallow water.
And just here, arcouipanying this
advantage, lies a uauger which the
bow man must be able by his skill to
meet It is h!s business to watch for
and a* oid obstacles—snags, "dead
heads." slightly s-i1 merged tree trunks

Good Anyhow.
Norman Mcl.eod was once preaching
In a district In Ayrshire where the
reading of a sejmon is regarded as the
greatest fault of which the minister
can be guilty. When the congregation
dispersed an old woman, overflowing
with enthusiasm, addressed her neigh
bor: "Did .ve ever hear ouything sae
gran'? Wasna that a sermon?"
All her expressions of admiration be
ing met by a stolid glance, she shout
ed: "Speak, woman! Wasna that a
sermon?"
"He read it." said the other
To which she replied with indignant
emphasis, "1 wadna care if he had
wbustled it.'"—Loudon Mail.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an In
flamed condition of the mucous lining: of
the Eustachian Tube. Wi.en this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which la
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any ease of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All Druggists. 75c.
