"America For Americans"
THE NEW THRIFT STAMPS
A new order just issued by the
postmaster general m^kes it pos
sible to buy thrift stamps with, the
•mall peony savings usually horded
away by children so that in five
jears time $4.12 will bring $5.00
in return.
Almost every child has a small
ajnouu* of money put away in the
different banks with which ehildren
»re so familiar, ceuny banks, dine
banks, etc. This money is lying idl
»ad government experts esimate
there are millions of dollars so
■tored away. The purpose of the
new thrift stamp is to enable a
child whenever he has accumulated
25 cents to purchase a stamp. When
t» has sixteen of them, plus 12
eeuts, he can get a certificate,
which he m>ay keep in place of
the money. The child is just as
much pleased, the government is
aided, and when the child gets old
•nough to use th« money he will
hare it returned to him with more.
ACT AND A(T Ql'lCKLY
By Frank H. Simomls
lEepriHed from the "New York
Tribune," November 1, 1917)
This tountry. has been sitting on
a powder keg and good-naturedly
7«aentiag any suggestion that it
could blow up.
We have permitted our enemy
aliens to go and come with little
or no hiudrance. It was certain
that they would kill Americans and
destroy American property at the
precUc poiDt where killing and de
atructi n would most hamper Ameri
cans n the firing line. The Balti
more fire appears to be another
item in their long and ghastly
count. They have destroyed shells
and food. They have by just so
much risked the lives and cafety
ot our men In France.
The Tribune has, day by day,
for weeks, set forth, the nature,
tUe extent the location of this men
ace. There have been thirty-two
suspicious fires along theB rook
lyn waterfront since our entry in
to the war. That is one item ina
Jong oatalogue. Only a nation gro
tesquely unsuspicious and blind to
th« facts of jrar could ignore the
warnings which have come from
erery quarter.
The measures which the authori
ties taken would be a joke if
they did not threaten a tragedy.
The registration of enemy aliens be
gun in this city was never complet
ed. If completed, it would be a
farce »• attempt to control our
80,000 resident Germans by any po
lice measures. When Mr. Hoover
learned of the grave threat against
our food stores, all that the lo
cal authorities could do was to is
sue aji order prohibiting enemy
aliens from working on or visiting
the waterfront of our city. "Who
«ru to enforce the order, how en
MOj' aliens were to be Identified,
Btobody pretends to know. An or
fler Issued t<2 tie U-boats bjr Presi
What Food Saving Involves
Sign the pledge and enroll as i member of the United
States Food Administration, and you wi'l l *. asked to do
these things:
Eat plenty, but
wisely, and without
WMtr.
Buy less; cook no
more than necessary;
I <erve smaller por
tions.
Preach and prac
lice the "gospel ofj
the clean plate."
Use local and sea
sonable supplies;—
watch out for waste.
Whenever possible use poultry, game and sea foods in
place of beef, mutton and pork.
Use potatoes and other vegetables freely.
Save wheat by substituting, in part, corn meal and
j other cereal flours for wheat flour.
Save butter and lard. Use butter on the table, but sub
stitute vegetable oils for cooking.
Save sugar. Use less candy and sweet (kinks and less su
gar in tea and coffee.
" This is a duty of necessity, humanity and honor.
As a free people we have elected to discharge this duty,
not under autocratic decree, but without other restraint
than the guidance of individual conscience."
—Herbert Hoover.
SKAGWAY RED
i CROSS NOTES
Mr. A Reiuert announces that he
will give to the Red Cross ten per
cent of c^sh sales at his store on
Tuesday. December 11th.
Two boxes of supplies were ship
ped today to the Northwestern Di
vision headquarters at Seattle,
Wash. The large box contained
5022 «suze surgical dressings and
the small one 70 pieces knit goods.
The accomplishment of this work has
been made possible through the un
tiring «• forts and enthusiasm of the
Military Relief Committee. This
commit'ee is often referred to as th
"Work" committee which ail agree
is appropriate. Serving ou this
committee are: Mrs. Helen Lynch,
Mrs. Martin Conway, Mrs. H. C.
Scott. Mis. E. J. Shaw, Mn». E. A.
Rasmuson, Mrs. J. W. Shearer and
Mrs. -A. J. Baker
The making of 5022 dressings
means a lot of work—every piece
of gauze is first cut by a drawn
t1 -ead, then must be folded accord
ing tr special instructions—it must
ou folded Just so. Each is demand
ed ia an -.pecial way by surgeons
—each fills its little part in restor
ing tne wounded soldier to his
home and friends.
Aft<r being made the dressings
were carefully examined by one of
the committee and wrapped two doz
en in a oackage in a cover of cot
ton cloto or clean old undamaged
cotton or line, securely tied and
marked with Drinted stickers donat
ed by the Daily Alaskan. The
gauae used cost J 8 6.00.
Splendid work has been done by
the kuitters The value of the yarn
ia today's shipment is $65.00. It
lid not cost th& Red Cross that
much, however, since some of the
menta were donated outright.
Comfort such as is brought by hand
knitted garments has saved hun
dreds of men from nervous break
down. Comfort means much to the
soldier—It lifts him out of the
slough o* despond and makes him
look upon the future with confi
dence.
The articles shipped were made
by:
Mrs. J. W. Shearer, 1 sweater, 1
muffler, 1 Dr. wristlets, 3 i>r. sox.
Mrs. A. J. Baker, Jr., 3 sweaters,
2 mufflers, 1 pr. wristlets.
Mi3s Verna Mulvihill, 1 sweater,
dent Wilson to keep ajvay from our
ships would be just about as use
ful and effective.
"here is a short and. complete
remedy for the whole situation.
That U to intern all enemy aliens
resident here. The rules of war
authorize this measure. It is just
and right as well as obvious nec
essary common sense. By seques
trating their property the burdefl
of interment jvould be borne by
the interned .
The Tribune has already urged
the internment of all German citi-'
zens 'n America, in view of Mr.
Hoover's revelation of plots threat
ening our vital food reeurces, of
the aoDarent conspiracy at Balti
more, The Tribune reiterates its
demand. Intern all enemy aliens.
To omit this measure is not only
to hazard the lives of Americans at
home »nd compromise the whole fu
ture of our cause, but to stab in
the back day by day our men fight
ing in the trenches, for vhom shells
ind more shells are the effective

Dec. 7th will Theatrical Red
Cross Day, -when all the legitimate
and vaudeville theatres will give a
natioa wide series of perforjlances
for the benefit of the American
Red Cross.
We have no legitimate or vaude
rllle theatre in our town.—But we
have good home talent.—It Is even
whispered that Charlie Chaplin is
here. One yonns; lady said, "it
would be loads of fun to get -.ip a
play." Maybe she has seen
"Charlie" and would like to be
leading lady.

Housework Is
A Burden
"U'oman'a lot is a weary one at
best. But with backache and other
distressing kidney Ills life indeed
becomes a burden. Doan's Kidney j
Pills haye made life brighter for
many women. Read .what Mrs. Roll |
CookBion, of 1809 E. First Ave.,
[ Spokane, Wash., eays: "The grip
put my kidneys out of order and
I suffered with a heavy dull pain
in the small of my back which kept
getting more severe. Some days I
could hardly do my work for it was
almost impossible to bend over. My
kidneys were weak and annoyed me
a great deal, too. I was worried
because my feet swelled and because
of the puffiness under my eyes. One
box of Doan'a Kidney Pills gave me
relief and after I had used two
boxes I was feeling fine In every
way." (statement given October
16, 1918.)
On June 8. 1917M rs. COokston .
said: i have had absolutely no
trouble with my kidneys since Doan I
Kidney Pills cured me and I feel I
better than I have in yeaTs."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney Temedy—
