THE SPELL OK ALASKA
I Chicago Post)
"Tike spell of Alaska fails upon
ever* lover of beauty who has voy
aged sling those far northern snow
yearlej shores with the violet waves
of the North Pacific Ocean breaking
splendidly upon them—or who hat
drifted down. the mighty rivers of
the iuterior which flojv. bell-toned
and lonely, to thj sea." Klla Hig
gl&soa says in her book about Al
**k», and she goes onto speak of
tha differing impressions received
in different parts of the counrty. In
somg parts "one sinks to a passive
deligut and drifts unresistingly on
thxoufh a maze of tender loveliness.
Nothing irritates. All is soft, vel
vety, soothing. Wordless lullabies
artj played bj; shades of blue, rose,
Amber and green; by the curve Of
the sat waves; by the mists, light
sa thistledown and delicately tinte
as wild cose petals, into which the
steamer pushes leisurely; by the
dreamy poise of seabirds on white
or lavender win?s high up in the
golden atmosphere; by the undulat
ing flight of purple shadow, tiptoe,
through the dim fjords; by the lap
ot waves on shingles, the song of
birds along the wooded shore, the
pressure of soft winds, the sparkle
of the sea.
"'Tie steamer glides J through
greea ajid echoing reaches; pasl
groups of totems standing like
ghost* of the pa3t, among the dark
sfiruce or cedar trees; through
stone-walled canyons yhere the
waters move dark aud still; into op
en, uulit seas.
"But it is act until one sails
oa 'to westward' that the spell of
JJal* falls upon one; sails out
lato wild and splendid North Pa
cific Ocean. .There are the majesty,
tUt sublimity, that enthrall; here
»r# tl>« noble spaces, the titanic
forces, the uatroddeu heights, tha
thrill aad inspire.
"The marvels here are not the
marvels of men. They are wrought
of fire snd stone and snow through
c«nturias unnumbered and uuknowa
ii» th^t -would know Alaska will
»»11 on 'to go northward,' on to
Unslssfca; or, he will go northward,
and drtla down the Yukon—that
vplendld. lonely river that hag its
birtb veithin a *ew mles of the sea,

PURCHASE LIBERTY BONDS
TO AMOUNT OF
$120,600
The Department of the Interior
authorizes the following: •
Tie loyalty, devotion, and patriot
ism of the employees of the Al
aska ii engineering Commission of
the Department of the Interior,
which is constructing the railroad
for Uncle Sam in far-away Alaska,
has beeu manifested in a substantial
and hearty way. They have sub
scribed for $120,600 of the Second
Liberty Bond Loan, and even that
sum, large in proportion to the
number of employees, may be In
creased.

lu addition to tjieir subscriptions
to the Second Libertjr Bond Loan,
the employees of the commission,
in response to an c-ppeal by Mrs.
Fraujfliu K. Lane, chairman of th
war relief work for the Department
of the Interior for funds with which;
to endow beds in the Washington
hospital at Nuilly, France, contribut
ed voluntarily and enthusiastically
17,02o.71—almost sufficient to mat
tain two wards in the hospital for
au entire year. Mrs. Lane explain
ed in her ajipeai to the employees
o* the Department of the Interior,
inc-'udinK the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, that each bed would
cost $600 a year, fully equipped
and cared for by a surgeon and a
nurse. The total amount needed to
establish a ward for the boys at
the front would be $4,000 a year.
Mrs. Lane urged that it made a
"perfect gift." To ths end that It
snould be such a gift, the em
ployees of the Interior Department
and the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission contributed a total sum of
more than $10,000—enough to es
tablish and maintain two wards for
a vear.
(•Kts of lWt»ebull Equi|mtenC
As another evidence of the keen
inter.est jvhieh these Alaska rail
road builders are manifesting In
tho welfare of the boys at the front,
thev have seait several jets of base
ball equipment to be forwarded to
France, and. cash coutribuitona »re
now being made by them to ^be sent
to the bat and ball fund.
Th". difficulty of communicating
to the Alaskan employees the de
tails both of the bond sale and the
endowment of the hospital wards
scarcely can be appreciated. No
sufficiently definite Information
concerning the bond sale was avail
able prior to the first formal an
nouncement by Secretary McAdoo.

It was, therefore, communicated
by Secretary Lane to the Alaskan
employees by cable. Chairman! Wil
liam C. Edes, upon receipt of the
cable announcement, issued k pa
triotic appeal to his men. Their
response was prompt tunl en
tflus astic. He cabled to Secreta^
Lane the result of the Alaskan drive
with assurances of the sincere and
whole-hearted patriotism of every
employe on the great project. ■— Of

contiguous to a cuntonmeut, auU
t.he larger the <yt£ the greater in
»ain uf cleaning.
St. Louis, among other cities af
fected oy tke government's request,
is undergoing a housecleaning. Ther
uas been a large amount of talk, in
dignant denials and protests that
St. Louis was already reasonably
clean. Th; idea of an army of
ficer stepping in aad criticizing mor
al conditions was resented by local
pride. But St. Louis is cleaning
just 'he same, and undoubtedly needs
it. The police department has been
ordered to arrest every man. who h>4
no visible means oI support, and
every, woman. who frequent* wine
rooms and loiters aoout the streets,
and th.e jail population has been
uonsideiably increased.
The practical dealing with. the
situation by the government has
been an. excellent thing for the
cities involved- Communities, and es
pecially the. larger cities, have re
garded the local tenderloin districts
with some tolerance, as necessary
and unavoidable adjuncts of civiliza
tion; besides this, many professedly
good citizens were renting buildings
and making money, indirectly, from
tke undesirables, and arguing for
the good business effect of this
deplorable*adjunct of city life. The
government is just now disposing of
these illusions by showing the
tremendous cost to humanity in
health and efficiency. There Is en
couragmeent to good citizens in
th.e fact that Seattle, too, is
"cleaning up," in company with, othr
er Coast cities, and the results of
the initial law enforcement are
some indications that it was baflj
ly needed.—Seattle P.-I. k

American Magazine. "a famous author

Oh! My Back!
The Expression of Many a Kidney
Sufferer.
A stubborn backache is cause to
suspect kidney trouble. When the
kidneys are inflamed and swollen,
stoopiDg brings a sharp twinge in
the small of the back that almost
takes the breath away. Doan's Kid
ney Pills revive sluggish kidneys—
relieve aching backs. Here's con
vincing proof of merit.
Mrs. M. Holmes, 101C Indian St.,
Beliingliam, Wash., says: "For quite
awhile I hail a dull, heavy ««iehe
across 'he small of my back. Ofteu
when 1 straightened after stooping
sharu Daimj seized me in my 6ides.
I had terrible headaches and dizzy
spells and my kidneys didn't act
regularly. In tie morning 1 was
always tired and worn out. After
I had used one box of Doan's Kid
ney Fills I could see they were
bclp.'cg me. My back got stronger
and j my kidneys acted regularly."
(Statement given October 6,
ISIS.) |
Ou July 31, 1916 Mrs. Holmes
said: "Mv opinion of Doan's , Kid
ney Pills hasn't changed. I have
always received splendid results
from them."
