THERE'S A

Scientific investigation has demon
strated that the drinking of a glass of
wine or beer lowers a mans muscu-
lar efficiency for "a hours about 8
per cent. Three glasses a day regu-
larly is cumulative in its effect. In
u days ordinary muscular efficiency
goes down 25 per cent in the average,
and mental activity so per cent. This,
observe, is the result Of the use of the
"milder drinks beer and wine, not
of whisky. There is good business
reason, we see, for the elimination Of
the drinking employee by railroad COM
panies and industrial corporations.
There is a common-sense reason for
the order Of the secretary Of the
navy banishing the officers wine
mess. There is every reason-scien-
tifc, economic, moral-for the aboli-
ton of the liquor traffic throughout
these United States and all territories
subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

PENeylNS ON HUNGER STRIKE
Foolish Birds, Emulatlng s~uftragettes.
Have to Be Forcibly Fed at
London Zoo.

Nineteen young penguins at the
London geological gardens have be-
gun a "hunger strike" Like the
militant s~utfragists, they refuse food,
and have to be forcibly fed.
The resemblance of penguin8 to
human beings has been noticed by
every explorer in regions frequented
by these quaint creatures.
"This," wrote DR.. James Murray,
the scientific member of Sir Ernest
Shackleton's antarctic expedition of
~1907-1909, SIS partly due to the
habit of walking erect but there are
truly a great many human traits
about them"
The trouble at the 500" is that
nobody there understands the pen
gum language. Yet DR.. Murray is
convinced that the penguins have
powers of speech, and he describes a
"palaver" he witnessed, when a
"old man" bird made a long speech,
sin a muttering manner, short
sounds following in groups of four or
FIVE" The doctor, to whom the
speech was addressed, confesses that
he did not understand a word of it,
but the penguin was very patient and
repeated i all over again with no
better results. ~ss2s.av
No doubt the young penguins at
the 800" have been telling their
keeper all about their reasons for 60
ing on "hunger strike" but, alas, he
does not understand a word of their
Nspeech. So he has resorted to for
chile feeding. The latest bulletin
states that they are "doing well" I'M
der the treatment, and it is hoped
they will come to reason before long.
Among the 'hunger strikers" are
rare specimens from the Falkland

the sale of liquors to Indians; and
Whereas, business firms are insist
ing upon abstinence from the use of

 M1NT0SH STORY
Gives Big Story to Valdez Freight CTS Opinions on Valdez as Best
 Route to NeIchina

The following interview with Rob- ert Mcintosh appeared in the Seattle Sunday Times of December 21 Bob is boosting for Valdez and the gov ernment road as the best route into the interior, as can be seen by read ing the story:
 That the Nelchina diggings will be the easiest of access in winter of all interior Alaska camps is the news brought to Seattle by Bob Mcintosh, pioneer Valdez freighter, whose men and several big outfits have just fin ished a round trip swing between Valdez and the new placer gold camp.
 Valdez, according to Mcintosh and many other northern authorities equ- ally as reliable, is the most feasible winter way of entry to both the Nell china and the Shushanna diggings. Already a lot of travel has start ed,' Mcintosh said at The Dillar last evening, and it looks like there will be big movement over the two trails before the end of the snow season. I have put on big freighting out using 30 head of horses and big crew of men, and the outfit will have to be increased at once as I made several big contracts for freight just as soon as 1 landed here.
 The distance from Valdez to Nel- china is only about 200 miles, ana the trail is one of the best We ever have had to an interior camp. Shu- 1 shanna is almost 1O0< miles further and there is a pretty big divide to cross, but the route lis comparatively easy when compared with other we have had to follow during the past 1 ten years
 l The outfits I sent out cn the first trip to Nelchha have just returned to Valdez. They made the round trip in IT days, which shows the going is pretty good They report having met number of people en route to the diggings. most of them coming from other interior camps. There were about 200 people in Nelchina at the first of the month and 150 outfits, most of them small, were met on the 1 trail.
 "'There will be a great deal of shipping to both camps during the winter as freighting by trail can be done at comparatively low cost and much equipment is needed to prepare for early working of the ground af- ter the breakup next summer. The Nelchina bids fair to become an i'm portant small camp right away, as the owners of the principal properties have already made arrangements for development. Two big hydraulic out fits are to be sent in from Seward after the first of the year and two more are to go from Seattle at about the same time'
 Mcintosh is one of the best known i freighters of Alaska, having spent the past ten years hucking blizzards and l snowdrifts with big outfits of horses and sleds. Last winter he made a big hit with the whole northland by put ting on an emergency sleigh service to deliver mails during a forty three day period when the Copper river railroad was tied up by snowdrifts and aValanches."

TICKETS TO KEEP CLUB
WILL TRY TO DISPOSE OF
: 200 SEASON TICKETS
MUST HAVE MONEY
Secretary Whaley Plans to Begin
Campaign at Once and Sell
100 Tickets Before Monday

Porter A. Whaley, president of the
Anderson Baseball club. announced
yesterday that the directors of the
Anderson club have decided to try
to keep the team together for one
more week and by that time 1t is hop
ed that the club will be on a better
financial basis. since plan has been
hit upon for financing the undertak-
1pg. 1t, is proposed to start out at
once With 200 season tickets and try
to dispose Of this number for $500
each. If this can be done, the club
will then be in splendid shape.
At this extraordinarily low rate It
means that baseball fans can see the
remainder IF Ii G games played in An
derson at r..te II about 90 cents per
game. AT the sal ! time 1t will mean
that the club ..ill ..1e sufficient mon
ey to get through -ensun.
There ere a num- fans in the
city willing 20 S.y Cue hose tick
cts at IS and there are also many bu-
siness men, without any desire for
baseball but with enough civic pride
to, want the team supported, since it
has entered the league, who will also
buy these tickets.
It is now believed that this will
solve the financial problem which has
been confronting the team and If the
fans will come to the rescue and buy
these tickets at $500 each It is not
likely that the team will have to ask
again for assistance.
Be sport. and when the committee
calls and asks you to buy ticket, buy
one and II you don't do 1t don't ever
tell again about what q pride you feel
