"America For Americans'
WHY IX' tXXJD PRICKS COM'IXl'E
TO AMAXCi: IN SK.KJWAY?
Owing to the high cost of feed
local dairymen, have sound it ab
solutely necessary to advance the
price o' milk, beginning October 1.
Living ^ advancing iu all parts or
the United States and milk is no
Fxcepticii. Kecent commuuicatious
hi' telts''aPh indicate the govern
ment may place the milk industry
under license, and that the food
administration w ill investigate the
cost . r milk production and distri
bution. Although the cost of feed
jug jtut'fs has advanced during the
last ie>? month large quantities of
corn and roughage crops are promis
ed and the government has put an
euibar-.'o upon the export of the cot
ton seed cake. These things should
help reduce the cot of milk rather
than to advance it.
It is rather singular that soon
as coal administrators and food ad
ministrators are appointed iu the
»tates for the express purpose of
invetig.iting the cost of goods With
the view of lowering the price to t'-il
cousumcr those very goods should
advance in price in Alaska. Many
tood prices have lowered in the
states, why should they continue to
advance iu Skagway?
UNITED STATES TO REBl'lLD
FRANCE
Not only is the United States
be'uin^ France oil tiu» battlefield
but 'he efforts ©f American genius
will go toward the reconstruction
of railroads and bridges and the
general avenues of transportation.
The- first forestry regiment, con
sisting of 1,200 men and designated
as the 10th engineers, which has
bene under training at Washington,
D. C., for more than a month, was
raised at the request of the British
government to undertake the pro
duction in France of the cross-ties
trench and mine timbers and other
/onus of lumber used in connection
with military operations. The de
cision to raise the second and much
larger regiment has been reached
as the result of reports of Am
ericas foresters attached to Gen
Pershing's staff ia France. In ad
dition to the 10 forest battalions
ia the uew regiment there will
alit be enlisted nine service bat
talions made u# of laborers, to be
employed in connection with the
forest battalions. Carpenters and
mechanics in various trades who
have heen working at Camp Lewis
ar» carefully registered as they
leave camp, and they may have
an opportunity for service in France
with transportation furnished aud j
high wage^ assured.—Tacoma News.
RETREATING IN BELGIUM
From various sources comeg the
hint that the Germans are prepar
ing to relinquish at least u part
of Belgium. The news that the
civilian population at Ostentf and
other Belgian coast cities had been
sent Inland and that Germany was
plannlnr to give back to the Bel
gians tee control of purely local
government may be taken an
indication of the purpose of the Ger
man high command to shorten its
lines of defense and to withdraw
fro in a salient which is likely to
prove dangerous.
The announcement that the Ger
mans were stripping Belgium of
macainery and of everything likely
to be useful to the starving popula
tion left behind is additional proof
that the kaiser is preparing to
wiludraw. That course preceded
t!n» withdrawal from cities in Nor
thern France when \ Hindenburg
made his famous "strategic retreat."
The part of France relinquished by
the Germans was left a desert, and
the carefully-thought-out schemes
of frightfulness in retreat added
greatly to Germany's debt to hu
manity.
If Germany hopes to attain a bet
ter position by restoring to the
Belgian* the purely local govern
ment. or if it hopes to appear in
a better light in the peace councils
by relinquishing its irou grip on
'hat desolated country, it has made
a mistake. The United Statse will
not give assent to any peace which
leaves Belgium a desert and its
people less, and in that idea the
entente allies are in prreect agree
ment.
The coast cities of Ostond and
.Zeebrugge have been valuable to
the Germans as submarine bases,
and any schtme which includes
their abandonment is proof that the
German U-boat program has failed.
The British navy and the British
.air 'leet have steadily bombarded
both harbors, and it is likely that
their usefulness has been impaired
if u't destroyed. Stripping Bel
gium as Northern France wag strip
ped will not add greatly to the
force of the German peace plan cf
"no iidemnities." The demand
for reoaration in Belgium is likely
to make a stronger appeal than
ever to the entente allies.—Seattle

OLD PEOPLE'S
KIDNEYS
Many Elderly Skagway Residents
Suffer Prom Some Form of
Kidney Trouble.
When past middle age, there
ft-equently comes a noticeable weak
ening of the organs of the body,
and resulting danger of quick de
cline. It is quite necessary to
give prompt help to any part that
first shows signs of wear. Healthy
kidneys are necessary to a hale old
age. Weak kidneys often bring
constant backache, lame back,
stitches and twinges Of pain, an
noying urinary troubles, and the
danger of dropsy or Bright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills are gratefully
recommended by very niany aged
Deople. Convincing proof of merit
in the following testimony:
J. M. Johnsen, carpenter, 2625 W
Fifty-ninth St., Seattle, Wash.,
eays: "A cold weakened my kid
neys and after that I had a great
deal of kidney trouble. My back
was lame and it felt a$ though
'he muscles were all drawn up
and stiff. My kidneys didn't act
right a*, all and the secretions were
highly colored. I had to get up
often at night. Doan's Kidney
Pills gave me a complete and last
ing cure. I am now free from kid
ney trouble in spite of my age,
which is past sixty years."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr, Johnsen had. Foster-Mil
