PICKED UP AROUND FAIR

There was just one question asked
at the News-Times information bu-
reau Tuesday that couldn't be an
Swered with accuracy.
A man stepped up to Mr.. Otis.
whose business ii is to answer ques-
lions, and leaning over the counter
asked anXiously:
Say, do you suppose 1 could get
a check cashed over there at that
bank, indicating the American Trust
company booth.
The best answer Mr.. otis could
give to that was:
That all depends
There is no more perfect model of
politeness on the grounds than
George washington. the burly negro
porter Of the Union Trust company,
who is chief guardian to Miss Edna
Crumm, petite cashier of the minia-
ture bank.
George is much in demand in the
vicinity of the booth. Yesterday aft
ernOon some masculine voice bawled
out:
Where's George Washington ?"
George smilingly presented him
self. youngster pulled excitedly at
his mothers skirts and asked in an
awed tone:
Nom. is that George Washing
ton?"

SENSES OF PLANTS.
A Theory That Flowers See and Hear
 and May Even Talk.

A Theory That Flowers See and Hear
 and May Even Talk.
 Jean Viaud- Bruant, who is one of the most famous French horticulturists, has just published little book on flowers, in which he advances the the. ory q believe it is not entirely novel, that flowers both see and hear. As a young man: he says, he began to study flowers, for which he has always had a passion. and he sought to understand the habits of the blooms which he cul- tivated When he saw the growing plant reach out toward the necessary support he asked himself whether the action was the result of volitiOn and whether the plant had eyes.
 NJ. Viaud- Bruant is now apparently convinced that flowers both hear and see. There are some that are sensitive to anaesthetic substances. ether in par, ticular. which suggests the existence of nervous system, like that of Il nervous woman. And he would even credit them with something analogous to the power of speech.
 "One knows." he writes. that the perfume of flowers is a manifestation of vegetable life. living radiation. Perfume is as much q vibration as an olfactory sensation. The perfume is the voice of the flower. A bouquet is {, wordleSs romance. Each perfume or. rather, each odOrous sensation core spends with a certain rate of vibration. There is an analogy between the per captions of sound. light and scent. The strong scent corresponds with the deep notes while the delicate odors core spond with the shrill notes. Paris Cor.

Notice.

While deeply appreciating the honor done me in the nomination for school director at the primary held on Sat urday evening last, particularly in view of the fact that the nomination is, in a large part, the expression of the sentiment of the pioneers of the country, men whom I have known and with whom have been associated for the last twelve years, feel, however, that in justice to myself I cannot be- come a candidate and must, there fore, respectfully decline the nomination.

COM M UNlCATED.

To the Editor of the Prospector.
 Having read an article in local publication defining the Indigent Fund, I being one of those beneficiar- ies am compelled, in this manner, to take exception to certain statements made I came to Valdez about nine months ago with little capital, but being sick wasn't able to do much work Eventually my money gave out and I had to find other means of din ing than in the restaurants. l man. aged to work few hours a week, but sometimes hardly able to walk, and put enough food in a cabin to barely exist on. Two or three months ago I found it almost impossible to get the few hours work. Then the "kind-hearted saloonkeepers" began to distribute "loaves and fishes unto the multitudes." Needless to say, 1 put down my pride and joined the multi tude On Sundays I, too, "took my dinner out" at the Hotel de Brown y
 Thus I became full-fledged mem Der of the Indignant Fraternity through no fault of my own that l was able to circumvent. The article asked about the password. Well, there's no need for any "investigat- ing" The password was an empty stomach. l honestly believe that if it had not been for these "hotels" there would have probably been a good many thefts and robberies, and a few men were far-sighted enough to reach the cause of crime and remove it, rather than to let the crime be committed and the perpetrators pun ished. Any man other than would be suicide will steal rather than starve Possibly a very few of the so- called benefciaries have money, but the majority have none. Is it logical to condemn the many that the few may be punished?
 But am positive that gratitude is not an unknown quantity and hope that the "indigs" will be able to re- ciprocate in the near future to those who were altruistic enough to assist them in their hour of need. Who knows? Respectfully yours,
 A BONA EIDE INDIGNANT"

1.-THE YEAR WE PAID OUR DEBTS.'

The international trade balance in favor of the United States in the last three months was $4O0000, 900. It may reach $1,000,000,000 for the year 1915.
 At the same time London exchange seems disposed to stick at the low record of $479 for the sovereign. Commenting on this situation a lead ing New York bank remarks in its March letter:
 "The trade balances indicated cer- tainly cannot be collected in gold, and apparently cannot be collected in goods, even if we wanted payment in either of these ways. There is on ly one way in which payment can be had, and that is in securities. The only practical question for consider ation is what securities shall be ac, cepted."
 While there is no visible disposi. tion of European holders to "dump' American securities, as time goes on settlements will have to be made. The process will doubtless be gradual. Il will be helped by the improved bank ing system which it was our great good fortune to obtain just as Europe was going to war. But in the end Americans instead of Europeans will! hold time obligations of Americans perhaps to the amount of many hun dreds of millions.
 How complete it will be depends on how long the war lasts-when one
 side or the other shall confess ex ! haustion and be forced to seek peace
 As no responsible statesman seems tc ] expect that position to be reached 1T less than a year, 1t may we'll be that the future historian will speak of 191s

Not a Nery Bid Bluff.

There is q story of d man from out of town who came to New York and fell not among thieves. but liars He lis tened to the tales of those who hAl"'' him about the city. and they came at last to Spuyten Duyvil. The Palisades were pointed out to him, and he heard that the Hudson river scenery was the most beautiful in the world He turn ed away and was not impressed.
 But" they reconstructed. those bluffs of the Palisades are 500 feet high!'
 "Well," he returned sadly. i've learned to know that that isn't very big bluff in New York"
 The story does not go on from there. but it ought to add. as if it were q moral, that that man knew New York very well for stranger.-New York Post.

JUST LIKE AMERICA!

We don't know what will come oi the plan to raise volunteer army of 300,000 men to constitute a first reserve in case of need-the volun teers to be men who have had army or navy experience or patriotic citi zens with special technical qualified tions.
 But we do know that the plan to go ahead and raise an army as a pri, vate citizen sort of enterprise, with out waiting for the government to back it or support it in any way, is a typical American movement-one that would not be thought of, much less attempted, in any other country in the world.
 Try to imagine, if you will, leading citizens of Germany, Russia, France or even England seriously making a proposal of this sort to the nation. Try to imagine them as they wrinkled their brows in order to grasp the con- ception of an individual initiative that took all public affairs for it's province. even the matter of national defense.
 The mere suggestion that this be done with us is striking reminder that the undaunted spirit of private initiative still exists in the United States; that the same old spirit that accompanied and made possible the early stages of our colonial and ma tional existence is still strong and on ly awaits an occasion to manifest itself.
 As for the plan itself, it has its difficulties. But the central idea that lies underneath 1.-the idea that those who have had army and navy exper- fence should not be lost to the defen- sive strength of the nation when they leave the service, but should find place in an organization which will permit them to be used in case of need, is essentially sound.
 Equally sound is the idea of or eanizing in some way large amount of technical skill--engineering medi- cal and trade--for use in an emer- gency under conditions not too stren- uous but still definite enough to in- sure continued relation to the ma tional defense. Such men would surely be the picked men of the ma tion judged from standpoint of a combination of technical skill with patriotic enterprise and spirit.
 That this country needs a reserve of just the sort contemplated in the movement is an axiom of military ex- perts, as we'll as of many public men who do not take strictly military view. Its organization has been sug- gested to congress, but nothing so far has been done. It remains to be seen what private enterprise can do.-Ex.

Upon the Road.

Perhaps one of the best known puns is that put into the mouth of John Gilpin by Cowper. It will be remem, bered that. according to the poem. John Gilpin borrowed d horse from his friend to ride to Edmonton to celebrate his wedding day, but the horse had other plans and took the iovial Gilpin to the house of his friend. who, on seeing his rutlled condition, asked him why he had come. Gilpin replied:
 came because your horse would come.

ACID In STOM-
ACH SOURS
THE FOOD
Says Excess of HydrochIoric Acid Is
Cause of Indigestion.

A well known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
Iieve from a lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards di-
gestion and starts food fermentation,
then our meals sour like garbage in
a can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. We then get that heavy,
lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate
sour food, belch gas, or have heart
burn, flatulence, waterbrash. or
nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast while it is effer-
vescing, and Furthermore, to continue
this for one week. While relief fol-
lows the first dose, it is important to
neutralize the acidity, remove the gas
making mass, start the liver, stimu-
late the kidneys and thus promote a
free flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, com bined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is
used by thousands of people for stom-
ach trouble with excellent results
