111 AT I'KIISISXKNX Kl'MOR
Tucrc is a persistent rumor going
the rounds tlutt Governor Strong)
will not s<jek re-appoiuunent; that
some one high up la the Democratic
•machine had put a "bug iu his ear,'
v ii'.ck means thai he would not be
ro-afpointed iX fee wanted to.
Lut what has he done that any
one should oppose him? It may
be true that he didn't do very much.
At that he did as much as any of
his predecessors; which is very
little, we admit, vet the incumben*
oi" that ct't'iee is suppcsed to be a
mtfi'e tigurehjtad, ;u:d as such there
is nothing to do. One ot' the great
objections that is teing brought to
1?v.Iir now and again is that he as
sociates much more with1 republi
cans than with democrats. While
this association may not be bad in
itself; it is admittedly bad form;
lu-nce the perrsistent desire on the
pa i t of some democrats to have a
uiau in 'he chair who will recognize
none but democrats; and that is
the way it should be. Because, if
t:.-' republicans had the upper hand
they would do the sr.me. Republi
cans never Tecogni2e democrats eve
it a covkr'ight.—Progressive Miuer.

Millions made by "Leak" news.
Thus Thomas \V. Dawson states
in brief what has been done by
stock manipulators through^ advance
.uews given out to a chosen few by
somebody in the inner circle.
Wlien betting on horse races
v us permitted more or less through
the i'nited States, when a "gang"
w .is caught tax>pii g the wires, and
it was proven that 'he wires had
been so tapped, the guilty parties
were brought to punishment.
Now what will our government di
'o urotect the "outs" iu the tap
ping of news that will tip it off to
tile lets of the ring who are gambl
ing in war stacks? Probably the
high prices have not as yet affect
ed lime, and lime is the principal
ingredient in whitewash, aud bo a
fcocdly amount pf whitewash will
be iuxed up iu the "barrel"and gen
txouhly smeared on where it will
do the most effectual work, and
once more all will be pure as snow,
white, clean and sanitary.
(Juneau Dispatch)
The Dispatch cannot agree with
the editorial writer of the Krnpire
that a change "can be effected thru
the co-operation of the people and
the Territorial legislature" in the
raa.ter of better care within the
territory for the Alaska insane.
What the Territory of Alaska
needs, aud needs badly, is a more,
vigtrous and energetic policy in
♦he governor's offive. Tlte Ter
ritory is fast demanding less "knee
bending to the federal administra
tion" and more attention to the Ter
ritcrial wants on the part of the
governor's office.
It is the duty of the federal gov
ernment to care for both insane and
federal prisoners in Alaska. It is
also the duty of the federal gov
ernment to see that the care is
such as will meet the respect of the
people of Alaska, who are footing
the bills for the same in the way
Df special license taxes, etc., paid
lirectly into the federal treasury.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Scurvy During fnfancy.
Infants and young children suf
fer from scurvy more than Is fre
quently realized. The cause of
scurvy is due to a lack of acids
in the diet A mild grade of scur
vy develops in infants who are
artificially fed on pasteurized
milk. Babies fed exclusively on
pasteurized milk need orange
juice between milk feedings to
prevent scurvy.
Young children will frequently
be seen to have spongy, bleeding
gums, swollen Joints and even
hemorrhage blood spots under
che skin, all of which are caused
by scurvy and all of which
promptly disappear when fruit
Juices are liberally supplied in
the diet.
Children past Infancy may have
any fruit, such as pineapple Juice,
raspberry, blackberry, grape or
orange juice. Fresh green veg
etables are needed to keep off
scurvy. Spinach and lettuce for
young children and onions, aspar
agus, celery, tomatoes and cab
bage for older children. Give ev
ery child orange or pineapple
Jnice for its breakfast. Start the
meal with it and there win bo
no scurvy.
Diplomacy.
Billy whs senJing out invitations to
his birthday party.
"I don't think i would mention the
blrthduy." advised his mother. "It
looks so much like asking for a pres
ent."
To this Bill.v demurred violently, but
was Anally persuaded to yield the
point For a long time he thought
deeply. Then, solving the problem, ho
asked:
"Well, mother, we won't say any
thing about the birthday, but dou't
yon think that we might put the pic
ture of a cake will caudles at the top
of the paper?"—Harper's Magazine.
Never Had to Replace a Bridge.
"1 suppose you have to go to a great
leal of expense to gel thrills?"
"Not always." said the movie pro
ducer—"not if you study your audi
ences."
"For instance?"
"Well, if the heroine gets grease cn a
[iair of white gloves the women specta
tors will become just as excited as
they would over the blowing up of a
bridge "-Pittsburgh Tost.
A Mean Insinuation.
"Why." writes one of these pro
nonnders of unanswerable questions,
'does a girl always shut her eyes when
» man kisses her?"
Send us your photograph and per- j
haps we can tell you the reason.—To
ledo Blade.
A Solemn Ceremony.
"Papa." whispered Johnny, who was
:n attendance at hie Sunday morning
services, "why do the people look so |
sad when they drop their money in j
that plate?"—Chicago Tribune.
More Like a Noose.
The trouble with the hymeneal knot
is that it Is often tied too tightly.
Many a husband reminds oue of a
sixteen ne<*k in a fifteen and three
fourths collar —Smart Set.
Feminine Diplomacy.
MI spoke a few words with Mrs
Dubwaite this morning." Mrs. Gadder
said.
"And what did you say?" Mr. Gad
der asked.
"Oh. I raved about her gown and
told her how well she was looking."
"My!"
"If I am not Invited to the old
frump's nest reception It won't be my
fault"—Birmingham Age-Herald.
Scarring the Turf.
"I made a hole in five strokes this
morning," announced the new golfer
triumphantly.
"That's nothing." said the other golf
er, who was even newer. "I invariably
make a hole with every stroke. I can
never hit tie ground in the same place
twice."—Boston Transcript
Bahind In the News.
Teacher—What do yon know about
Washington crossing the Delaware?
Boy—Nothing, ma'am! The boy skip
ped us on our paper this morning!—
Boston Globe.
Force of Habit.
"See Miss Annie driving that car?
She told me she got it at half price."
"At her old tricks, I sec—still drlv

Running Seams.
Mrs. Lafferty—Tin stitches did th'
doctor have to take in me ould man.
Mrs. O'llara—Tin, was it; only tin?
Sure, when th' doctor seen me poor
husban' carried fr' th' wreck on th'
railroad he sez, sez he, "Do there be
no wan here wid such a t'ing as a sew
in' machine?" — Pittsburgh Chronicle
Telegraph.
Custom In Spain.
One thing specially Is vital in Spain:
"Coetumbre." they say ("It Is the cns
tom"). It explains commercial honor
tersely for the Spanish business man
to keep his word and pay his bills; ex
actly as it Is equally customary for
him to lack what we call "honor" in
some other departments cf life. It is
customary to do or not to do, to like
or not to like, a thousand tilings. Why?
"Custombre" is the only reply. It is
customary, moreover, not (o yield read
ily to an Improvement or a luxury,
even as it is again equally customary,
once the Spaniard has yielded to a
giveu thing, to hold to it like adam
ant—Exchange.
Exceptional Circumstances.
The sympathetic prison visitor went
from cell to cell interviewing the in
mates. To one penitent looking indi
vidual she put the usual question,
"What brought you here?"
"Borrowing money, lady." was the
reply.
"But, good gracious," she exclaimed,
"they don't put people in prison for
borrowing money!"
"Not ordinarily," said the man, "but
I had to knock a man down three or
four times before he would lend it to
me."—New York Times.

Recommended by thousands.
Head the following statement.
W. V. Condon, 3S2 H. St.. San
Bernardino, Cal., says: "I think
'he jarilng and jolting of the \vag
cn I ride is what weakened my kid
neys ai.d caused backache. I could
hardlj get on or off the wagon be
cause of sharp pains in the small
of my back. The kidney secre
tions were too frequent in passage,
causire; me to arise several times

so. Doan's Kidney Pills cured the
backache and regulated the action
of my kidneys."
