WHY MOT S1XL ALASKA GAME
FOR USE?
W"» are repeatedly told by Food
c\> ;.:aissio:i<T Hoover that the world!
is lacing starvation, that the moat
supulv of the world never has been
so low. The government is using
fvtry power within, its means, other
than that of an autocrat, to con
serv, food, urging the waste of
iicthing, and vet to maintain the
ua'iou in its finest physical trim.
Iu spite of the admitted short
age of food, laws in Alaska prohibit
the killing of plentiful game, above
a small quantity, to be sold for
•'ocd consumption. For example
everyone is entitled to kill three
ucer in season, yet it is Impossible
to t'.o so because men are' 60 situ
ated they cannot leave their occu
ualions for hunting. Yet if one
uersca made it his business to kill
deer, and sell to each person his
allotted portion, the law would
»oon nave him within its grasp.
It moose, deer, mountain goat,
grouse acid other game could be so d
iu any amount during the open
season the shortage of food in Al
sk. would be greatly relieved, and
locJ which is imported into Alaska
now from the states would remain
ther® for use.
\V°. believe that the Alaska game
laws should at least be modified to
allow the sale of game during the
vrestnt war emergency for ligitl
niate food use.
HKKK IS A REAL PATRIOT
Quitting a post that paid him
$50,000 a ye-r in order that ha
misht answer the call to arms of
his country, is. the credible per
formance of O. B. Perry of Alaska.
Fitt" thousand dollars a year i9 a
pre'tv good income. It is almost
St50 a day; more than $6 an hour.
The number Of men who receive
such salaries are few. But—and it
is a big BUT—men who rise to
such salary heights always are
red-blooded, and red-blooded men
are the kind who serve their coun
trv in time of need. Therefore,
the giving up of an annual income!
cf $30,000 in order to fight for
his country jvas not a big thing for
Mr. Perry to do. His patriotism
was not to bo measured in dollars.
He possessed attributes that made
him valuable to his employers.
These same attributes were equally
valuable to his country—and to
il :i y Mr. Perry is a major in the
I"nit°d States army, helping to
organize the heavy engineering
branch of the service that is to
go to France.—Tacoma News.
O. B. Perry was president of the
Yukon Gold Mining Co., operated by
the Guggenheim.;, and is well konwn
ia Skagway.

THE SPIRIT OP THE SERVICE
The spirit that dominated the
American. Armies at Bunker Hill,
New Orleans, Buena Vista, Gettys
burg, and Santiago will just as
surely dominate the National Ar
my on the battle fields of Europe.
This spirit is a compound, it is
made up In part of democratic feel
ing, in part of respect and love for
th» Nation, and in part Of Amreican I
ism.
The United States Army has al
ways been and will &hr&ys remain
a democratic Army. Evsry man in
the Army is made to feel that his
br3ins and his individuality count
[for something. It is not merely
a big. soulless machine that moves
with mechanical precision. It is
a "team." Each man la the team
| is presumed to be intelligent and
self-reliant.
Democracy In The Artny >
Of course there can be no team
work without regularity and strict
discipline. This is equally true of
a football or baseball team. There
must also be various ranks and!
degrees of authority. And some-,
times this necessary organization
and close regulation creates an im
pression that the Army is not dem
ocratic.
But the fact Of the case is that
American soldiers accept the rea
sonable discipline of the Army readi
ly because ihey have the Rood sense
to realize that these things are
necessary. They accept them with
out losing in the least their real
independence as free citizens.
Furthermore, American armies
[are democratic because the path or
oromotion is wide open. Any man
who has a reasonable amount of
ability can practice, can. study, can
cultivate the qualities of a soldier
and % leader, and can work his
;w3y up. And this is the real test
of a democratic army.
Everybody Must Help
Every citieen of the United States
now has or will have certain du
ties to perform, certain sacrifices
to make. The burden does not rest
wholly upon you and other men
who take up arms. It rests in
part also upon the men and women
who stay behind. For modern war
ou a big scale demands that the
whole Nation, in a sense, should
<o to war. The task required of
some may be harder than the tasks
required of others, but all of them
are necessary in order to make sure
of the result. 1j
The Post Of Highest Honor
The patriotic spirit yhich moves
the whole country will find its
highest expression in its soldiers—
the men who are assigned to the
post of danger and of honor. They
will go all the more willingly
jiuce they know that behind them
the whole Nation is organizing for
the national service. Their spirit
will be one of patriotic devotion
fulljr as Intense as that of Ameri
(can armies in previous wars.
The spirit of democracy and of
patriotism is to bq found also in
the armies of other nations fighting
against German aggression. In ad
dition the National Army will have
its own spirit of Americanism. It
will have American enthusiasm,
good humor, fairness even to the
enemy, and self-confidence. It will
go a» its work not half-heartedly
but with a vim. If there are tem
porary setbacks it will accept them
and keep on "plugging." These
are some of the American traditions
that will enter into the spirit of
the National Army.
CORN' MEAL CHEAPEST FOOD
Tl>e United States Food Adminis
tration authorizes the following':
Corn, meal, even at the present
unprecedented high prices, accord
ing to a compartson of nutritive
food values prepared by the Food
Administration, continues the cheap
est food found in a survey o^ 50
staple*.
There is twice as much .nutritive
value in a dollar's worth of corn
meal, even at the prevailing high
prices, as in a dollar's worth of
wbeat bread. The actual figures
show that 47.4 cents worth of corn
meal now equals one dollar's worth
of wheat bread in actual nutri
tive value.
Th<To are four bushel^ of icorn
raised in this country to every 'bush
el of wheat, and corn meal is as
pood food for man ag ig wheat. It
cost3 less, and is the richest crop
in our country.

U1KLS FOR BRAKESMEN
"IJ! it comes to a showdown, W®
can usq women in the yaasengcr
braking service."
This statement iioin Trainmaster
Douglass of the Northern Pacific
division at Pasco is causing consid
erable discussion in the ranks of
trainmen, says the Spokane Chron
icle,
The Brotherhood of Kanway
Trainmen ami the members qi other
brotherhood* have been making at
tempt to a^t iuformation concern
ing the plans, and will present to
the meetings of the locals a letter
from B. B. Johnson, who handles
grievance matters for the railroad.
The comment from Trainmaster
Douglass is in response to a request
from tiarlej; Croxton, brakeman on
the line between Spokane and Pad
co, ssking for an affidavit from
his superiors to back up his claim
for exemption from the army draft.
Croxton was refused an affidavit,
aud the intimation was left that
the Northern Pacific would not a-sk
for the release of any brakemen
from the draft, taking the position
tha' they are not necessary to the
maintenance of the industry or the
prosecution of the war.
Superintendent J. L. DeForce of
Spokaoie says that at present uo ad
ditlon to the working force of wo
men is contemplated. Last spring
a considerable unniber 'yvere put on
wiping engines and cleaning coaches.
1' is §xpected the trainmen's bro
therhood will protect strongly in
case women are prepared for their
jobs,

A Bit of Advice
First—Don't Delay. Seeou<l—Don't
Experiment.
If you suffer from backache;
headaches or dizzy spells; If you
rest poorly and are languid in
the morning; if the kidney secre
tions are irregular and unnatural
in appearance, do not delay. In
such cases the kidneys often need
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for kidney trouble —
they are recommended by thousands
Sead the following interesting state
ment.
Aire. AI. E. Gageu, 1013-A Florida
St., San Francisco, Cal., says: "I
had dropsy and other kidney
trouble and was miserable. My
back couldn't have given m« any
moi'e misery if I had broken it.
Jly kidneys were weak and my feet,
ankles and hands became swollen, as
a result. I felt so miserable, run
down and depressed I was discour
aged. I could hardly bend over
because my back hurt me go much
Doan's soon strengthened and' regu
lated my kidneys. The swelling
went away and I was again well
and had all my former) strength."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills— the same
that Mrs. Gagen had. Foster-jMil
