GERMAN PRISONERS ARE
 RELEASED BY JAPAN

TOKYO: At the request of the French government, Japan has re- leased nine German prisoners of war who had served in the German garri- son during the defense of Tsing-tao. These prisoners were born in the province of Alsace-Lorraine and all though forced to serve at Tsing-tao they were of pronounced English sympathy and since the reduction of the .Tsing-tao fortress they have ex- pressed their desire to fight with the French army in Europe. They are represented as being especially filled with fervor to see Alsace-Lorraine brought. back permanently to France.
 Informed of the desire of these prisoners the French government took up the question with Japan and yesterday the men were set free and later embarked on a French steamer at Kobe. Since the capture of Tsing- tao they have been detained at the prisoners camps at Kurume and Osaka.

The ms sthe Valdez Civic League who 8d active last summer in making valdez the cleanest town on the coast of Alaska are objecting strenuously to the custom of certain citizens dumping their ashes and other debris in the streets, to become unsightly heaps near spring when the snow melts.
 The dumping of ashes in the streets is prohibited by city ordinance and if the practice is persisted in it is very probable that the offenders will re- ceive a visit from the city marshal.

It shall be understood, however that under the townsite reg ulations ignorance by the purchaser of the acts of the lessee or others on lots purchased by him is no defense, and forfeiture may be declared not withstanding in case hereafter aris- ing" 4

ARE MEDICINES LIQUORS?

A certain class of prejudiced and
jealous doctors call patent medicines
only alcoholic beverages. They will
tell you that such a medicine con-
tains as much alcohol as a glass OF
beer or certain quantity of whiskey;
but they do not mention that the beer
or whiskey is swallowed at one
draught, while only a small quantity
Of the medicine is taken at one dose.
At the same time they will use alcO
hol quite as freely and many in four
or five times as great proportions in
