"America For Americans"
j FOOD WINS THE WAR j
** DON'T WASTE IT J
CARRY ON"
Severe cold weather in the East
may mean another coal famine simi
lar to tho one experienced less
than a month ago.. While the
East shivers in cold more severe
thai, has been known i:i years, the
Pacific coast and even Alaska are
having mild weather, and there
seems to l>e no difficulty to ob
tain fuel. Eastern people write
that the West does not realize how
fortunate it is.
The coal situation in the East
may be relieved in a short time,
or become worse, causing con
siderable vexation to people in the
West in many ways, one being the
del:j in mail matters of all kinds.
One magazine company has Bint
a circular out to iti subscribers and
to news stands saying, "Don't
blame vs for delays in delivering
your magazines as we are simply
^elDless. Remember—our coun
try is at war and we i*ust all do
our bit and suffer occasional in
convenience. If >ve canuot fight,
we must not fret.. Just grin and
bear it. "Carry on."
"Carry on" is the spirit back of
each individual la the nation, and
no matter what ccmes, it is that
spir'* which will always predominate
and will win the war.
Secret-try Joseph us Daniels, of
the u.a.yj-( showed rare humor yes
terday yhea he put aside the cen
sorship rules to announce that the
toraef German ship Yaterland car
ried S000 American troops across
the Atlantic comfortably and safe
ly. How galling this must be to
the Germans who thought they de
stroyed the engines of the steamer
so that the£ couldn't he repaired.
Two air raids on London and one
oo Paris in three successive nights,
plus & thrust by Germans on an Am
erica* listening post Wednesdoj;
are Just spasams onthe part of Ger
many to divert the attention of the
AUie* from the internal trouble of
the German empire. Such, an ul
timatum as announced yesterday
by on© million strikers, if sincere,
can mean nothing else but revolt.
And when the army is sent back
home to kill and murder their own
kii> and kin. it is not at all unlike
ly thatit will turn upon the pres
ent government and refuse to obey
the orders of their officers. Such
events will hasten the end of the
wax tp a marked extent

ued life and prosperity will be, as always, devoted to the interests of Skagway.

OX ANOTHER NOVEL PLAN
ao:nu o£ our "farthest North-'

w*rs for assisting the Red Cross
s^s the Red Cross Bulletin.
The latest scheme, jvhich origi
nated in Fairbanks, Alaska, is
the "Visiting Basket," and there is
no reason why this should not work
out splendidly in every community
where fuuds are being raised for
iied Cross work.
H*>re js the plan: A large mar
ket Uasket 'is donated and filled
with other donations, consisting of
hoiui'-iuade articles, fruits, jellies,
jams, caps, arpons, etc., as well
as Uo^ks and, in fact, auy small
saleable article. In each case the
price the article should bring is
marked on it by the one making the
donation.
The basket is then started out on
us visiting tour among the neigh
bors, and upon its arrival ut your
home you may purchase any article
that meets with your approval,
writing your name ami the name of
rb© article purchased in the book
and placing money in a bank pro
vided lor the purpose.
At the same time you may add
another article from your home with
the price, etc.., marked upon it
and serd the basket on to your next
neighbor, notifying him by phone
"hat it is on its way and to re
ceive it with a royal welcome..

WHEN EVERY
MOVE HURTS
Lame every morning, achy and
stiff all day, worse when it's damp
or chilly? Suspect your kidneys
and try. the remedy that thousands
have used and recommended.
Mrs. Ellem F. Jones, 1617 E.

"The first sign. 1 hav"e had of anythl
bein/ wrong witfc my kidneys was
a cut nine years ago. My kid
neys acted much too often. and blad
der trouble kept me miserable. In
otbfr ways my kidneys showed they
weren't doing their work properly.
Mv back was bo painful I could
hardly bear the misery and my
si-:.t was affected, too. I got bo
1 couldn't walk across the floor
to get a drink of water. Three
boxes of Doan'B Kidney Pills en
