FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
FOOD SHORTAGE
At this time when the world at
large is crying for food. and when
nations are on th.e verge of starva
t'or any measure which has for its
object the increasing of the food
supply should be endorsed.
Mesrs. A. J. Sprague and Frank s
Wilson, who were in Skagway last
suomer and who planted a large
uuafliity of fish eggs in the near
by lakes, have obtained 200,000
ejtgs of the Colorado Brook trout,
aud many more of the Alaska Cut
Throat "-"ut, which, eggs are now in
the aatchery at Juneau.
It is desired that Alaska's gov
ernor give an appropriation out Cl il
special fund to carry on this work,
anrt hence make it possible for troul
to be planted in the numerous lakes
in .Southeastern Alaska which are
easily accesible for food purposes.
W« urge our readers to send Gov
ern'" r Strong petitions and letters
r»Hiuesting a special appropriation.
The Alaskau Council of National
Defense in Juneau has taken up
this matter, as has also the South
eastern Alaska Fish and Game
Club. Skagway's lakes offer a fer
tile field for fish growing, and we
beiieve that a little money spent
in planting fish there will bring
many times the value in food re
turn. The Territorial treasury at. a
recent date had a targe sum of mon
ey on hand, and we believe a small
par: of it could not be used more
wisely than to aid iu the produc
tion of fish food.
EXPECT LARGE TOURIST
TRAVEL
The Daily Alaskan consistently
maintained that tourist travel the
coming season will be far in excess
of last year, and stater as its rea
soiig that people yrill have over
con s their fea-r of travel, and that
pro-; verity will have given them
more means to travel with. The
most concrete example which we
mentioned was that of Canada,
whose i>eople during the second
year of the war traveled in much
larger numbers than during the
first year. The following clipping
from the Tacoma News adds weight
to this opinion.
5VEen war Fas declared, a motto
of American business bwalme, "Bus
iness as Usual."
In time of war business cannot
proceed as usual. That is impos
sible. New demands, new prices
an<j suspension of some of the
economic laws of trade force busi
ness into new channels.
since the war business in the Un
ited States has not been as usual.
But the motto was not to be taken.
Utataliix AXter tke e^erinece of
Fl. \VM. H. SEWARD, ALASKA
Ft. Seward, in command of Opt. A. M. Jones, is the only place In
Southeastern Alaska in which soldiers are regularly stationed, and
which is a complete army post. Whenever disturbances break out in
th's section of Alaska soldiers from Ft. Seward are the ones to
be called. Ft. Seward sent 15 troops to Sfcagway last Sunday night
when it was known that a general Dlot existed to do damage thru
oui all parts of the United States^

Able to Depend Upon a Well
Earned Reputation
For months Skagway readers
have seen the constant expres
sion of praise for Dean's Kidney
Pills, and read about the good
work they have done, 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 feather at
my work brought on kidney trouble
years ago. 4 steady ache in the
small of my back caused me a great
deal of suffering, My kidneys act
ed too often an/* that broke up my
rest at night. My back was so
weak and painful I could hardly
sloop over to pick up anything and
it was just as hard to straighten
apain. Doan's Kidney Pills gave
me more help than 1 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
3ince I have needed Doan's Kidney
Pills, but my faith in them hasn't
:hanged."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
jet Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Martin had. Poster-3111
