WHAT VOL* ARK ASKED TO

Tie men ol the Allied Nations

farms. The production of food bj

amount consumed. The difference

countries. Now this difference is
greater than ever and, at the Banie
lime, but little food can be bro'l
la frcm the outside except from Am

Therefore, our Allies depend 01

depended before, and they ask us
for it with a right which they have
u»»er had before, For today the)

A letter, clipped from the Doug

the I>aiijr Alaskan recently by one
of our well known aud respected
citizens, only part ol which wa
orint. The epistle is supposed to be
written from Hell by Lucifer H. Sa
tan and addressed to Kaiser Bill.
• My Dear Wilhelm:
"I can call you by that familiar)
name, for I have always been very
closfl to you, much closer than you
could ever know,
"la the days of Rome I created
a roughneck known ia history as
Nero; he aaa a vulgar character
and suited my purposes at that
particular time. In, these modern
day* a classic demon and effeclent
super criminal was needed; and as
1 Know the Hohemzollern blood, I
picked you as my Bpeclal instru
ment to place on ea<rth an annex of
hell . f

that blossomed into the assinatiou
of tho Duke and his Fife, and all
hell smiled schen it saw how clever

Bells of Hell Are Ringing
"l'cur opportunity waa at hand;
you set the world on fire and the
bells of hell were ringing; your
rac» on Belgium has caused much
joy; you made war on friends and
foes alike, and the murder of civil
ians ahowed my; teachings had borne
fruit. Your undersea warfare is
a master stroke; aa a war Lord
you stand supreme, for you have
no consideration for the baby
clinging to its mother's breast as
jthey both go down into the deep

be leisurely devoured by sharks
down among the corals.
"You are a liar, a hypocrite and
a cluffer of the highest magnitude.
You are a partner of mine, and yet
you pose as a personal friend of
God. Ah, Wilhelm, you are a
wonder.
"V.'hen a Prussian officer can
witness a nude women being dis
embowled by a Swarthy Turk,
committing a double murder with
one cut of his saber, and calmly
star.d by and see a houseful of in
noceut Armenians locked up, the
house saturated with oil and
fired, I confess my Satanic soul
grew sick and there and then I
knew the pupil had become the
mas'er, and I am a back number,

in your favor. I am satisfied with
what 1 have done; that my abdlca,

best interests of hell—in the fu

A large and imposing stuffed owl
presented by Jack London to Mrs.

Crfss superfluity shop, 106 Fifth
street. The story of the owl as
told by Mrs. Strandborg, a person
al Iriend of the famous writer for
many years previous to his death,
follows:
London on his first trip to Al
aska, found himself caught at one
time with the minimum of provi
sions in that unexplored country.
With, handmade traps, he and his
companions endeavored to catch
the necessary meat and by accident
this magnificent bird wag trapped.
Aa London waa always adverse to
jki'iltg things unnecessarily, every
Belgium produced as much sugar as
I they used, while England drew
most of its supply from what are
. now enemy countries. France and
Italy are producing less than they
i-.eai, while England is cut off from
the source of seventy per cent of
her usual imports. These three Al
lied countries must now draw 1,500/
000 tons more of sugar than they
did before the war from the same
sources from which we draw our
suoplies. We must divide with them.
We cai. do ft by economizing. The
usual American consumption per
person is just double that of France*
LET US REMEMBER.—Let us
member that every flag that flies
opposite the German one is by
x>roxy the American flag, and that
the armies fighting in our defense
under these flags can not be main
tained tnrough this winter unless
there is food enough for them and

enough if America provides It. And
America can only provide It by the
personal service and patriotic co
operation of all of us.

my kidneys causing the worst kind

Kidney Pills, being told they were
