This la a sub aead on an articld
vhich we reprint today from the
Juneau Daily Dispatch, and while

^continuing liquor ads as a mat

.0 be among the first of the pa
ters in Alaska, to throw out pay
lug liquor advertisement.
Ou Afay 31, 1915, the Skagway
Daily Alaskan cancelled a contract
with the Seattle Brewing and Malt
ing company, calling for $60 per
tear for advertising Rainier Beer.
It was at this same time that the
advertisement of the Board of Trade
?aloon in this city was also discon
tinued, and from that day forward.

TERING WAR
Henry Ford, who was widely criti*
ized for his activity in behalf of
ieace before the United states en
ered the war, has done with the
pacifists now and is fully convinced
hat the struggle to make the world
.afe for democracy must go o^
intil German autocracy is deprived
if the power to menace free instltu
iona in other lands. U&der the
ircumstances his present point of
lew is interesting. He explains
c as follows:
"I cannot see that any great harm

>ur war preparations. Things
ave moved so fast in a mechanical

AI.ASKA NEWSPAPERS Aim !
ACQUIRING "DR1" LOOK ,
Ciastluoau Channel Papers Took
.Lead iu Discontinuing A(I
tisements of Booze
I One by one the Alaska newj
Dapers have been eliminating liquor
and oarroom advertising in prepar
ation for January 1, wheh under
the territorial law it will be un
lawful to advertise liquor in the Ter
ritory, even if a dealer or manufac
turer was so foolish as to spend
money in a dry unit where there
is no chance to make delivery.
The two Juneau dailies eliminat
ed liquor advertiil• r on June first,
Just before the vote on local option
although both papers favored grant
ing liquor licenses for the remainder
of the year on the ground that the
city finances demanded this revenue.
The Douglas Island News discon
tinued advertising of this character
about the same time; also the
Nome Industrial Worker, a paper
controlled by the laborites.
So far, with the exception of the
Anchorage Times published in a dry
unit and the Skagway Alaskan in
another dry tosyn, the preys of Al
aska accept liquor and barroom ad
vertising. This is noticeably true
of the small weekly papers who
derive a large portion of their
patronage from this class of adver
tising.
Notice was served on the Juneau
papers by the postmaster last July
that under the laws of Oregon and
a^hiagton papers containing liquor
advertising could not be mailed in
to those states. This forced an
lssfie of either printing a special
edition for mail subscribers in,
tfrose dry states or eliminating the
liquor advertising. Investigation
disclosed the returns from saloon,
advertising were small, and it was
tether business polio* to cut it
out; t'ne liquor dealers being agree
able, it wag decided to accept no
further liquor advertisements. —Al
aska Daily Dispatch .
LOCAL TURNIPS
TO GO OUTSIDE
From an exchange the following I
news article is taken, and it might
be yell for the local farmers to
notify the department at Juneau of
any surplus crop that might be |
available for shipment to the •
States.
Arrangements have been made i
for shipment on the United States !
army transport Crook of Matanuska
turnips to Seattle, according to an :
nouncement of Andrew Christensen, j
who is in charge of the land and5 j
industrial department of the Alas-!
kan Engineering commission. The
freight charge on the vegetables1
will be $7 a ton from Matanuska to,
Seattle, and this charge will cover I
the cost of transfer from rail to I
yater here. Agreement to this mar-1
keting scheme bas been given by tha
two privately-owned stamship lines I
operating between this port and Pu- i
get sound. Their freight rate on
turnips is something more than $30
a ton. and they realize thlt figure i
i9 so high it would not permit the
vegetable to enter the market in
the states on a business basis. Be- j
cause they do not want to reduce i
the rate to a figure that would |
make shipments feasible, they are
willing that this commodity should |
be handled by the government trans
port.
"The Matanuska district," said j
Mr. Christensen, "will have a crop
of two or three hundred tons of
turnips, rutabagas and petrowskis.
Petrowski is a "Russian turnip. This
yield cannot be taken by the local
trade, and, accordingly, arrange
ments have been made to market
the surplus in the states. Some of
the vegetables in the sample ship
ment that will go forward on the
next sailing of the Crook will be
sent to the military cantonment at
American lake, near Tacoma. 1 feel
confident that no difficulty will be
experienced in disposing of the
vegetables.
"Alaska turnips are regarded in
the markets in the states as a veg
etable of superior quality to turnips
raised in the states, aud the north
ern product ought to command a
higher price.
"The last quotation on turnips in
the Seattle marxets showed they
were selling at $40 a ton. At this
fgiure, the Matanuska crop, if it
amounts to 300 tons—and I think it
will—will bring $12,0o0 on the out-,
aide market.
"This proposed turnip deal will
i>e the first effort on any extensive I
scale, I believe, to sell in the states I
vegetables from southwestern Al-1
aska.
profit. He adds that it cost* very
little more to product steel now
than it did before the war. There
will be interest in watching to
see if this expression of opinion j
elicits 4 retort from gentlemen en
gaged in steel business.

Deafness Cannot uc Cured
by local applications. as they cannot reach
tho diseased portion of llu? car. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafneta is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube ia inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when It i»
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion. htarlng will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
«htch Is nothing but an Inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
esse of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
