OLD GLORY^i
"America For Americans"
AMBlTIOl'S "TEACHERS"
Judging by replies made in a
'eacflers' examination held this
mouta in -North. Yakima, newspa
pers could be studied with profit
in the public schools of the state.
Sevoial persons who believed them
«#!>•►« qualified to teach in the
schools in Yakima, county showed
strange ignorance of facts that it
w uid seem everyone would know.
On* "teacher" said that Lafayette
w«« "a senator from Wisconsin/ who
is sAid to favor the Germans." An
wther answered that the Frenchman
who came to the aid of Washington
ws a "financier of the revolution,"
*iid still another guessed that
was "a Frenchman wh? was a gen
eral iu the Civil war."
t-ao sould-be teachers were ques
»bout the willful men of re
teat ill-fame, One said they were
"uine members of the President's
tabiuet." One actually answered
they were "a group who showed
taemselvee willing to go and fight."
atill another, having evidently never
read of them, said they were "a
party of uprisers at the time of the
Civil war. •
Gen. Haig, commander of the
Eiiglisn forces, was found to be
almost anything in the minds of
some teachers but what he really
is. The question was to identify
One answered that Haig
"la the same given to the peace
coherence given by Ford." Some
ox thf teachers were strong for the
ClT » war, and an answer said "Haig
'• fhe name of a party in the
South during the rebellion." One
teacher got Haig into the present
war, all right, by saving "Haitf
(1 a city ia Europe where much
fighting is going on at present."
Who has not heard of Hoover?
The answer is: One graduate of a
stata nigh, school or normal school
woo wanted to teach. This person
a»id, "Hoover is one of the leading
officers during the trouble with
Mexico "—Tacoma News.
The woman, no matter how good
aae may be as wife, mother and
housekeeper, who cannot take a
li'tla time from her home duties to
do Bed Cross work, is just as much
Ot a ilacker as the young man who
evaded registration. Not only that,
bat the example of a mother counts
»T too much to be recorded on
wrong page. N'o patriotic sons
may be expected in homes where
tba mother is a slacker. — Douglas
Islaud Is'ewa.
BE CHARlTABL E
Dan't grumble if your paper is
sot always flush up to the high
•t - adard of your ideal, charitably
ttmamber that no editor is capable
ot getting up quite as good a pa
oar as you could yourself.—New
JV'aterlord Magnet.
' Are you "doing your bit" in
Saving food for our allies and our
iPWiej: and sailors?
"A BLOW BELOW THE BELT"
'ERY DOLLAR that you send out of Skagway for goods that may
be had in Skagway is a blow at the growth of your home city—"A
Blow B«5ow The Belt." fj Every dollar that you spend in S.-attle or
other cities for job printing that you may have done at the Daily Alaskan
office is a blow to your home paper—"A Blow Below The Belt." €J These
thoughtless out-of-town purchases in the aggregate arc hurting business in
Skagway and in tome respects are hurting the hand that feeds your moulh.
The business h*u»es of other cities contribute nothing to the maintenance
of Skagway institutions. They sell none of the commodities that cannot be
purchased here. If you get your income from Skagway real estate, if your liv
ing comes from a Skagway salary, if you in any way are dependent on Skagway
BE LOYAL
....DON'T HIT SKAGWAY BELOW THE BELT....
j Spend Skagway money in Skagway and be known among your fellow men as a true citizen of your home town

One Weak Spot
Mtpy Skagway People Have a Weak
Part aiul Too Often it's the
Back
Many people have a weak spot.
Too often it's a bad back.
Twinges follow every sudden
twist.
Dull aching keeps up, day and
night.
Backache is oftcu from weak kid
neys.
la such c^eg a kiduey medicine
ia needed.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
For Backache and urinary ills.
Good proof of merit is the fol
lowing statement.
James Cubbon, Mgr. Victor Clean
ing aud Dye Works, 1208 Yesler
Way, Seattle, Wash., says: "My
kidneys were in bad shape and
every *ime I bent over it seemed
as thouyh my back would break.
The kidney secretions were unna
tural, being scanty, painful and ir
regular in passage. My work as a
tailor kept ma bent over and that
made m<» suffer >11 the more . I
was lam© and s'iff all over and
could hardly straighten up. It wasn't
any time before Doau's Kidney Pills
had helped ma- and I was soon
cured ef every sign of the trouble."
Price 60c, at all dealere. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr, Cubbon had. Foster-Mil
