FRENCH "CC1DK" TO AMERICA
The entrance of the Americans in
to the European arena has aroused
some natural curiosity as to who
these strange people are. This
■curiosity the press hastened to grati
fy. bo we have an opportunity of
learning how we look to our allies.
For instance, I.e Fait tie la Semaine
(The "Week's Work) devotes an en
tire number to a 10-cent guide to
'"What a Frenchman Needs to Know
About the United States," and con
tains much useful information—a
well a3 amusing misinformation.
The latter begins oa the
first line of the first page in
"tha nations on the press," where
we leara that the leading New York
daily '« the Washington Post. Tne
only socialist organ is the New York
£"»eolr# Post. The New York

of as the sensational yellow1 press).
Ou'aidt of New York, the Provi

Undi r "Politics" it is explained
that though it is customary, as a
matter of convenience, to allude
to the United States as a "sister re
public." yet it has not a true par
liamentary government iu the sense
of France and England. There is
no cabinet responsibility and con
suls has 110 power to change the
government. The American, system,
therefeie, resembles the German
niepp nearly than the French, al
though during the second empire
Prince was ujnder a similar regime.
"In short, the United Statea by its
cocslitution possesses a dictator as
president." ■'

as a orison. Most of them persist

even to the wall of the port of
Zeebru.ge in order to work there
f^r the Germans. Daughters of
farmers and the bourgeoisie from
the surrounding country have al
jso hee-i requisitioned.
"The military authority does
net spare even the disabled and
ill. T. e Telegraaf correspondent
on the frontier reports that a dis

mark "t hat he had only one leg was
told tliat there was work that he

UNDERGROUND
SCUM IS II
l WINNER NOW
Fairbanks. — After innumerable
failures and. setbacks, Jim Toole, of
Fairbanks creek, has at last per
fected en underground scraper that
promises to revolutonlze the min
ing o' lojv grade ground. Recent
arrivals from Fairbanks creek who
investigated the scraper say that
there is? no question as to its suc
cess as it is handling miuch, dirt
every day and at a low cost.
Mr. Toole started to experiment
ing with an underground steam
shovel. He spent a small fortune
tryin* to perfect it, but It never
worked well. Not discouraged,* he
kept oc trying to find some way of
mir.ii g low-grade ground at less
cos* and finally Invented the scrap
er which he is uow using. Mining
men sav the scraper will make it
possiDle for miners to work ground
in the Fairbanks district at a good
profit *h»t has been abandoned for
years, considered Impossible.
The new invention is something
along the line of the Bagley scrap
er, and is operated with a double
drum boist and cable, all under
ground. Mining men who have stud
ied 'he plant say it saves the work
of 20 men.

example: In the year 401 the Black

the Danube was frozen, so that Theo
domer marched on the ice to Swaba
to avenge his brother's death. In 703
the cold was so Intense that the Strait
of Dardanelles and the Black sea were
entirely frozen. over. • The snow in
some places was 50 feet deep, and the
Ice was heaped In such quantities on
the cities as to cause the walls to fall

Housework is liard enough when
healthy. Every Skagway woman
who is haying backache, hlue ajid
nervous eprfls, dizzy headaches end
kidtey or bladder troubles, should
be glad to heed this grateful wo
man's experience:
Mrs. P. Froliwerk, 687 York St.,
Portland, Ore., says: "My kidneys
acted toa often and my feet and
anklfs swelled. I had to go to the
hospital and the doctor said I had
uraomlc jwisoning. I suffered ter
riblv with sharp pains in the small
of n\r back. When I returned I
still suffered jvith pains in my
back. Later I was again taken to
the hospital and I can't describe
how I suffered. All that Spring, af
ter I came home, I had that
trouble and finally a nurse told
me tr try Doan's Kidney Pills. J'm
glad I did for they cured me of i
oven- sign of kidney complaint."
WELL EVER SINCE
Mrs. Frohwerk gave the above
statement November 13, 1915 and |
on May 22, 1917 she added:
"Doiii's Kidney Pills saved my
life when they cured me of kidney
trourle. I have been strong and
well ever since."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
