HOSPITAL COT FOR ITS
01 BOYS IN HIT
A special meeting of the Bkagway /
chapter of the Women's Patriotic
League will be called some time; this
week by the president, Mrs. B. A.
Ross, for the purpose of aiding la
the equipping of a bed in the! Wash
ington ward at Neuilly, Framce, hos
plta' in which wounded Alaska boys,
will receive special care and atten
tion
Many of the chapters throughout
Alaska have been working along
♦his Hue, and Fairbanks alone
raised ?1200, an amount sufficient
to maintain two cots and provide a
surgeon and nurse for each. Mrs.
Franklin K. Lane, wife of the sec
retary of the interior, writing re
garding this matter says:
"Perhaps you in Alaska will be in
terested in a hospital bed to be put
in the Washington ward of the
Neullly hospital, just outside of
Par's. We are trying to get several
beds from the interior department (
here so that our men may feel the
Home thought, and care for them [
when they are wounded. Each bod

TRENCH CANDLES
NOT TO BE
SHIPPED
Washington, Jan. 7.—Trench can
dles, or ration heaters, caa not be
sent to Europe. This decision is
base;! on a cablegram from Maj.
Murphy, reporting the results of
inve&Ugation in France. They are
doubtless useful in the trenches and
c*a be made to advantage by women
ar-d children in Europe, but not
here 3,000 miles from the front. The
cargo space at the disposal pf the
Red Cross is so limited that only
the absolutely essential supplies —
surg'cal dressings, food, warm
cio'hiug—can be shipped.
Knowledge of this situation must
ba i:ivon wide publicity, since maga
zines and movies are still urging the
production of these articles. Sup
ples already on hand may bo dis
tiibuted by Red Cross chapter^
for lo*.ai use through the charitable
organizations.

Washington, Jan. 7. — The su

today unimously declared the draft
law to b§ constitutional.
THE ALBUMEN WE NEED.
Foods That Prodiiio It and How They
Compare With Meat.
"Why do we eat meat?" asks Dr
Daniel Claude in an article in Nature,
and he answers his question by saying,
"First to supply the albumen necessary
to our bodies, then because meat is a
pleasant food, easily digested and as
similated."
Many physiologists have estimated
the quantity of albumen necessary to
our systems ai.d have given widely
differing figures, but today It is gen
erally held that one grain per day per
kilogram of body weight is ample—
that Is to say, that a man weighing
100 pounds actually needs only be
tween five and six ounces of albumen
a day. Children and growing youths
need more. Meat, however. Is not the
only food that Is rich in albumen. A
quarter of a Brie < hecse, for instance,
contains as much albumen as half a
pound of beefsteak. Lentils, peas and
beans are from "0 to 25 per cent albu
men. which means that these vegeta
bles are worth ai tually more than
steak and cost far less.
According to Or. Claude, our dally
needs In the way of albumen can be
satisfied by auy one of the following:
Beefsteak 14 ounces
Cutlets 1SV4 ounces
Salted tongue lS'i ounces
Milk 2 quarts
Chlckcn 20 ounces
Eggs 9
Cheese 5 ounces
Almonds 23 ounees
Haricot beans ounces
Lentils ll'i ounces
Bread ". 29 ounces
From these it is easy to make a selec
tion, picking those that cost the least
are going to supply all the gar
ments, sheets, etc., from our war
work here. Each bed bo endowed
will h«ve a brass Qlate on.it—oura
will read 'Department of the In
terior.' If you start one I would
suggest 'Alaska Woman's Patriotic
Loague.' and if any of your men
are wounded, they will have that
bed lu the Washington, D. C. ward."
Mrs. J. F. A. Strong, wife of
Alaska's governor, in writing to
Mrs. Roes say:
"Among the many ideas and sug
gestions that I gleaned from my
trin east X found the one suggest
ed by Mrs. Franklin K. Lane to be
the most practical for the first work
of tne leagues throughout Alaska,
rhe laising of $600 by the women,
nf the entire territory will not be
ei very arduous task."
Further announcements of the
Skagway meeting Kill be made from
day to day. Skagway Tvhichj has
sent so liberally of her song to the
n-ar, should do royally in helping
io equip a bed ia which Its boyH
will receive special care.
