GIVE US MORE SAFEGUARDS

Thirty-five boats wrecked in ten years upon the Alaskan coast; mil lions of dollars in property de Jtroyed; hundreds of lives lost; in conven ience and embarrassment to the merchant and the traveller this Is the great roster of our ma rine disasters. And in nine eases out of ten it could have been pre- vented by fog horn here, light house there, a rock buoyed, or other safeguards those who travel are proven that the officer of the ship was negligent of his duty, or taking foolhardy chances In all cases it has been demonstrated that our coastal line will never be safe for travel, summer or winter, until several million dollars are spent in surveying, buoys. lighthouses. fog horns and marine bells. Forty per cent of our steamers have gone to the bottom: in the past mont one-fourth of the liners plying b. tween Anchorage and Seattle hay found a watery grave, and that the loss of life was not enormous is to be credited to the seamanship of the officers and crews of these vessels rather than to any app'i- ences granted them by a careless
 r"Ternment. Isn't it about time that our people send in a remon.
 trance large enough to cause our National lawmakers to sit lp and take notice? With the millions and millions of dollars spent in pork barrel appropriations, doesn't pie could be better protected? if two or three lives lost on pas Senger steamer in the war zone cause such 6 wave of sentiment. why does not the loss of hundreds of lives in ocean travel cause greater upheaval of popular senti- lieHI!

OBSERVING THE LAW.

Alaskans, generally speaking, are the most law abiding of all people, particularly when it comes to o5- serving laws of long stcnding, but in many instances they fail to com ply with the law in many respects chiefly through neglect or ignor- ance. A great many of them have been in the territory so long and have had so little to do with law that when measure is passed which they must observe and which relates to the line of business they are following, they neglect to comply with tis requirements and there fore throw themselves open to trou- ble.
 The last Alaska legislature pass ed bill entitled "An Act to Con- pei Roadhouse and Clearinghouse Keepers Outside of Incorporated Git ies in the Territory of Alaska to Keep a Register of the Names of All Travellers Patronizing Their Places of Business" This act was pass ed for the purpose of keeping a line on all travellers in order that their whereabouts may be ascertain ed in case they are found missing or if somebody makes inquiry for them Another purpose of the law was to prevent and detect crime, it's passage being the outcome of the several murders along the Val dez trail number of years ago. As a penalty for failing to keep register and for failing to com pei all persons stopping at his place to register, the roadhouse keep CT is liable to a fine of from slO to $25 or imprisonment for 10 days, or both fine and imprisonment. The law also specifies that any person who refuses to register at roai- houses shall be refused accommo- dations by the host.
 1t is reported that but few of the coast trail roadhouse keepers are complying with the law. One man coming in states that he was asked to register at only three road houses enroute to Fairbanks from the Coast, and that he only saw one other register. The federal off cials have also ascertained that the law is not being observed on other trails going out of Fairbanks, and It is their intention to look into the matter.
 Since travel started over the trail for the Outside it has been ob served that number of "John Does" and Richard Does" have taken passage on the stage, signing such names fearlessly to their tick cts. A number of the citizens of Fairbanks have remarked on this fact, but no way is known by which traveller may be compelled to reg ister under his true name.

 taken from the highest authority obtainable in our country, and are as near correct as human wisdom and careful computation can make them So it would seem conclusive that our banking institutions can, if need be, extend a credit to the allies, in money and merchandise to, let us say, even twenty billion dollars, without disturbing the equi- librium of our National or business life. But should we do 1t? That's the question.

High Calory DIET in Typhoid
Remarkable Paper By Well Known Local Physician APP

Journal-Opposes Starvation Methods.

over and above the 400 Galleries
which were regarded as sufficient by
Austin Flint.
The matter of feeding in typh old
fever was placed on scientific basis
in 1909 when the Investigations OF
Shaffer and Coleman showed that the
loss of protein, connected with the
fever and inseparable from all the
old restricted diets, can be lessened
or altogether avoided, by means OF
q carefully selected diet of easily di-
gested foods, notably carbohydrates,
which protect the bodyprotein bet
ter than any other food. One of the
chief objections against the high
calory diet was removed when Won
Hoesslier showed that its use does
not increase the temperature IN
typhoid fever.
At the time of it's first introduce
ton, TIL high calory diet aimed at
supplying typhoid fever patients with
the same food values as needed by
a healthy person. Schottmuller, IN
Germany, now fixes the daily allow
ance at 100 to $50 g.. of albumin, in
typhoid fever; healthy persons re-
quire only about 60 g., as a little
more than double that amount is
needed to balance the disintegration-
processes of typhoid fever. The body
albumin is indirectly protected
against combustion by an abundant
intake Of carbohydrates; sugar, and
flour. Approximately 40 calories per
kilo: of body-weight is a reasonable
calculation.
The Investigations of Du Bots have
shown that contrary to expectations,
the typhoid patient is perfectly cap
able Of digesting and absorbing
high calory diet. At. the present
time the capacity of the gastrointes-
final tract in fever to digest an album
dant mixed diet is no longer doubted.
The absorption of fats is alone dis
turbed in the first stage of the dis
ease, according to the findings of Du
Bots. The normal course of diges-
ton in typhoid fever is illustrated
by the entirely normal appearance
of the stools. There is less diarrhea
with a mixed high calory diet than
when fluids alone are given. Re-
cent findings have shown that no
more than per cent. of the Galleries
ingested is lost in the feces.
It is the aim and the object of
the high calory diet to protect the
body against excessive loss in weight
until the disease has either run it's
natural course or been cut short by
measures Of immunization. The i'm
portance of an abundant supply Of
carbohydrates is especially emphasiz-

the liquid food equal the addition OF
so e. to the diet.
There are certain diSadVa nta ge@
connected with a purely liquid diet
which Wer not always taken into pro-
per consideration when mapping opt
the dietary regime of a protracted
disease, such as typhoid fever. The
high calory diet does not tax the
heart by an excessive amount OF
fluid, two liters being amply suhl-
cient under q, mixed diet, while near
ly twice as much was form erly found
necessary to maintain the patient $
nutrition on an exclusively liquid
diet. These large quantities of fluid
were apt to favor the development
Of edema, in cases with a weakened
heart-action. A minor although by
no means negligible advantage of the
full diet in typhoid fever is the
resulting improved condition of the
patients mouth, tongue, and teeth,
brought about by the act of chew
ing.
Following a safe medium course in
prescribing the dietary of a given
case of typhoid fever, it lis advisa BILE

such articles as in themselves or in
their residue may be irritating to
the raw surface of the gut or may
produce undue peristalsis. AS to the
amount of food to be given, so as
to achieve the best results, conditions
vary in individual cases, each pa
tient being a law unto himself. The
desire for nourishment, and the ben
eft obtained therefrom in form Of
added pounds to the patients weight,
are reliable guides in this respect

ISOLATED with a general infection OF
the blood.
In view of the fact that the infec-
ton originates from the lymph vessels
but not from the intestinal epitheli-
UNI, it is not likely that the passage
of normal chyme through the ileum
favors the onset of these occurrences.
This is borne out by the findings f
Kinnicutt, who anallzed 900 cases Of
typhoid fever, fed on a liberal dict,
and noted that the number of re-
! lapses was not increased, while there
was less hemorrhage and perforation
than under the old method of treat
| ment.
In describing the clinical picture Of
typhoid fever as governed by the die;
of the patient, Rajewski (1913) states
that no bad results were observed to
follow upon a solid diet His obser-
vations were made upon s64 patients,
who were kept on diet of milk,
meat, eggs and white bread. Com
plications followed in 492 of these
cases, primarily of the respiratory or
gans. Bedsores occurred less fire.
quently than otherwise. The average
duration of the disease was thirty
days. The mortality amounted TO
1913 per cent, increasing with the pa
TENTS age and with the time which
had elapsed between the onset of the
disease and the day of admission to
the hospital.
Recent very exhaustive studies of
the influence on the high calory diet
on the respiratory exchange in ty-
phoid fever lead Coleman and Du
Bots to the conclusion that the large
amount of food administered exhibits
no specific dynamic action, thus re-
moving the chief theoretical objec-
ton to the use of a liberal diet iii
typhoid fever. Their observation
of a sharp rise in the level of the
respiratory quotients during the last
days of the fever, in the majority of
high calory patients, leads. them to
the interesting Interpretation of this
rise as marking the onset of regen-
erative processes, lie. the beginning
Of convalescence. before the tempera-
ture has become normal.
Advantage Of a Mixed Diet-The
patient is protected against mani
ton and progressive loss of strength
a fact which acquires special i'm
portance in the troublesome cases
running prOEacted course with re-
peated exacerbations and relapses.
The organism which does not lose in
weight becomes automatically more
resistant, and develops an increased
capacity for the formation of anti
bodies. Undoubtedly, mixed and
liberal diet tends to raise the gen.
eral resistando, and thereby lessons
the liability to secondary infections. |
Sicard, from an ANALYSIS of 29 cases |
occurring in the second division of |
Bellevue Hospital during the sum- |
mers of 1911 and 1912 concludes that |
the most evident features of the high |
calory feeding are the maintenance |
of weight and nutrition, the appeas- |
ing of hunger, and the lessened to-
dunn of convalescence.
A practical point worth remem-
boring is that about three ia blespoon-
fuls of granulated sugar, mixed with |
