Simple rules of -conduct are laid
down as necessary to resist the di"

wholesome food, and moderaely.
Not a bad rule at any time and as
a resistant measure against any ill
that flesh is heir to. We must
avoid alcoholic drinks. The "must"

lute by other than the medical au
thorities, and cn the average. In

should avoid crowds, take all the
exercise in the open air we can and
get plenty of sleep. Above all,
we must not forget that'Cleanliness
is next to godliness and put the
proverb in. daily practice.
All this constitutes prudence. It
is comnxra sense. If we adapt this
£ood counsel In a practical and
conscienitoug fashion to our every
day living, and don't indulge in a
persistent, haunting, cowardly fear
of thia or any other disease, we
will do most wisely, and the threat

Wo are printing today a list of J
those who have subscribed to the
Fourth L'berty Loan. This does
not mean those who subscribed to i
the aeconf" or third but just those
who too* some ol the Fourth Loan.
Min* o? these have taken bonds in
the 5eeon<i and Third also, but the ^
list today should be a pride to every i
true Alaskan.
At w"l be seen quite a do
not live in Skagway as there are
namea ot loyal citizens residing in
Haloes, Whitehorse, ,Carcross andj
*11 »Jon< the White Pass and Yu
kon Route.
From now on until the c:ose of j
the drire the names will be printed'
of those who subscribe. There
are still about one hundred people !
in Skagway who have not sub
scribed and it is hoped that every
one who possibly can will have
their aams on the honor roll.
The result to the time of going to I
,presa shows considerable over J
dkagway'e quota but not the oer
cenUge that has obtained in other j

WHY "DOUGHBOYS"
A doughboy Is an American sol
dier, and American soldier#, la4
fantrymen, artillerymen, medical d»»
partment, signal corps ahar-ps, of
flcer/j and m@n alike, are all dough
boys. Our cartoonist is one, M
is General Pershing.
The term "doughboys" data*
bacn to the Civil war when army
wit wa« aroused by large globular
brass buttons pn infantry uniform.
Somebody (he must hare beea *
sailor) dubbed the buttons "dough
boys" because they reminded' him
o' the boiled dumplings of rMsed
dough served in ships' mesg and
.known to all sailors as doughboys.
Originally it referred only tq .as
enlisted man, but the A E. P. ap.
plies it to all branches and all
grades of the service.—The Star*
