SLOW BIT SI KK
II weather permits fighting on
• he western front for a few more
wet. Its this winter, the English and
French. expect the Germans to make
tneir bitterest offensive of the war.
Fnglisk gains in the region of
Cambrai are being consolidated and
strengthened to withstand the fury
of the Hun, who is now fighting
with the desperation of despair in
France and Belgium. .English and
French generals believe that if th
einected German lunge can be ward
ed off, the Germans villi resume
their defensive campaign, which ha
W* followed ia the west since Ver
dun and will merely attempt to ward
off final defeat until exhaustion
weariee the allies and leads them
to orooose a peace.
While Germany has been able to
wia Tictories here and there, there
U little in the news that can en
courage the Hun. Let the kaiser
get what solace he may from his
campaigns in Italy and the success
of his diplomacy in wrecking Rus
•1*.
This war is going to be decided
lu Fnnce and Belgium.
The allies already hold the upper
t»cd oa tie field where the issue
is at stake. la the spring more
than a million U. S. soldiers will be
In tae trenches there.
Wl.li the allies having a prepon
derance of money, men and muni
tion», and with the Germans cut
off from the seas, the fall of the
kaiser la a sure as was the ultimate
defeat Of Napoleon tho Great.
Th* defeat of the kaiser is as
eertaia as the science of mathe
aaMca. The war ha^ resolved it
• dt UUo a mathematical proposi
tion. | j.|Vi . • if
Bcnr monumental the defeat of
Germany is. is rh.e only question.
It took the South 60 years to
recover from the civil war. If Ger- I
**»*.▼ fights to utter exhaustion she j
may not recover in a century. The j
loss in niau-fiower is something that
caanot be repaired in. a few years.
Tlin is » loss for generations to
mates good.
If the outlook sometimes looks
dark to you, just think hoy it woud
appear if you jyere a German in the
laud of the kaiser.
DEVIL RESIGNS HIS JOB
The devil sat by a lake of fire
on a pile of sulphur kegs, his head
was bowed upon, his breast, his tail
between liis legs; a look of shame
was upon his face, the sparks
dri.aed from his eye—he had sent
up hJs resignation to. the throne up
iu the spies. "I'm dow® and out,"
the devil said—he said it with a
sol,—"there sre others that out
class me and 1 want to quit the
job. Hell isn't in it with the land
that lies along the Rhine. I'm ft has
been and a piker, therefore 1 re

his bloody snot and shell knows
inoi-j about damnation than all

liaiser William, the author of this
war; he understands it better a mil
lion times by far. I hate to leave

IweL, but I feel that I'm not ur to

LOTS OF HERRING
RUNNING IX INLET
Suvard, Dec. 28.—Herring of the
finest quality and iu unprecedented
quantity are now running in the en
train to Cook Inlet, according to
Clyde Coleman, of Anchorage, who
his just arrived iu Seward from
Kachemak bay, where be is In
terested iu the Kachemak Canning
company.
Mr. Coleman says that there are
morn fish than the canneries and
packing companies can possibly
handle. He came to Seward to get
>nto cable communication with Se
attle in au effort to arrange for
the shipment of at least 500 more
barrels from there to Kachemak
bay.
The company with which Mr.
Coleman is associated w&s original
ly organized by Dr. K. A. Kyvig, ol
Anchorage. Control of the corpora
tion was purchased last fall by

Preparing Him For Matrimony.

they put the matrimonial candidate
through previous to h:s entering the

FILTH, FINGERS AND FLIES.
These Are tho Most Potent Factore In
Spreading Disease.
Fingers as disease mrrlers rank next
to Hies. Dirty lingers and finger nails
may carry about with them as many
disease germs as dirty tiles. For this
reason filth, tinkers and flies are said
to be the most common means by
which disease i t spr?ad. A safe rule
that has been (.iveti with reference to
avoiding auy infection that the hands
might carry is to wash the hands im
mediately before e:Uhtjr, before han
dling, preparing <>r serving fowl, after
attending thi> tick and after handiing
anything dirt;.'.
A common habit with many i>eople
that is not only dangerous from a
health point of view, bat is disgusting
ly indecent from every ]oi;.t of view,
is the constant pi -Mi :' of the nose and
mouth with the fia~e:-s. A safe rule
and a decent one Is to l:e?_: the hands
away from the face, particularly the
nose and mouth, and If these parts
need attenlion use a e'ean handker
chief. A dirty handkerchief Is us dan
gerous and may be a.; mt'.eh a means
of spreading disease as dirty tinkers.
The United States public health serv
ice says: "Disease germs lead a hand
to mouth existence, if the human race
would learu to keep the unwashed hand
away from the mouth many human dis
eases would be greatly diminished. We
handle infections matter more or less
constantly, and we continually carry
the huuds to tho mouth. If the hands
have recently been in contact with in
fectious matter the germs of disease
may in this way be Introduced Into the
body. Many persons wet their lingers
with saliva before cornting money,
turning the pages of a book or perform
ing similar acts. In this case the
process is reversed, the infection being
carried to the object handled, there to
await carriage to the mouth of some
other careless person."
If anybody doubtj the filth of their
owu hands uud flujers let them take
nole of the many unclean things they
handle within a day's time. The door
knob which everybody handles will he
only one source where the hands may
get the germs and tilth of some Care
less i«>rson.
One of Her Own.
"Well, Mary," said the minister kind
ly, "you didn't come to our liltle gath
erlug last night after all. How was
that?"
"Please, sir, I hail a little gathering
of my own that prevented me."
"Oh! And where was that?"
"If you please, sir, it was on the back
of me neck, sir!"
