GROWING CARELESSNEss.

In casting up the death account it is found that while the railroads are applying safety devices and rules with good effect the public is growing more careless. In the last five-year period one passenger of every 355,- OO0,O00 carried one mile was killed :; in the preceding period the ratio was one to 1S3, 100000.
 "On the other hand" says the statement, accidents to the public, over which the railroads have but lit tie control, have increased, such as, for instance, an average increase each year during the last five years of 10S trespassers killed on the railroads.
 "The most startling increase, how ever, is in death cases to other per- sons not trespassing, which consists for the most part of persons crossing railroad tracks on highway crossings, killed because of their failure to stop, look and listen. The average number of persons killed in this class of ac- cidents each year during the first five year period named was 994, while the average number of these persons killed each year during the second fve-year period jumped to 1917. an increase of more than 50 per cent"
 Crossing accidents have been in- creased amazingly by careless auto mobile drivers who bolt along igno- rant of the road and it's dangers, or who, foolishly swell-headed over the speed of their cars, think they can beat the train to the crossing.
 There has been a decrease of 28 per cent in the number of railroad employees killed, the total in the last five-year period being 2,569. The figures show that one out of every 213 trainmen lost his life in the sec ond five year period as against one in 155 in the last five year period.
 Safety first" is gaining ground among the thinking, but not among the minimizing, which may be prov idential design to rid the earth of them.

HEALTHY YOUNG ANIMALS.

Through considerable hard work, principally on the part of the ladies of the town, there was built and fur nished in Valdez a place of recreation known as the "Everyman's Club house." The latest newspapers and magazines are kept on file there and a library with a large number of vol umes was established and maintain ed, the ladies taking turns acting as librarian and sacrificing much time and effort that the place might be- come a pleasant resort for those men, who, being unoccupied for the time. or the visitor here, found time hang ing heavily on their hands.
 To a great extent the plan has been successful, but the success of the ven- ture is being seriously threatened by a gang of young hoodlums who of late have been making the club their evening headquarters. They have de- faced the walls, destroyed books and magazines and defiled the pleasant rooms in a manner which should in cur a heavy fine or a trip to the re- form school.
 There is no reason why hordes of young savages should be permitted to roam the streets at night, making life hideous for those more peace fully inclined. There is no reason why a gang of scaramouches should be permitted to destroy property, de- face buildings, defile places of amuse- ment, and steal whatever their fancy prompts them to take possession of.
 It is time that the city enacted a curfew law, or adopted some means to check the increasing lawlessness of the younger generation before their vandalism goes beyond forbearance. The majority of them are good boys, with an excess of animal spirits, and no place to go. Time hangs heavily on their hands, and idleness does the rest. A place for these boys to con- gregate of evening, where they could play, read, or raise cain, as their fancy dictates, would be great help toward developing their future mor- als. It would be fine thing if the town took enough interest in the fu- ture of it's boys and girls to maintain a separate clubroom for them in some of these vacant store buildings, which adorn our city. A ton or so of coal. a stove, an old billiard or pool table, a few games, some children's maga- zines, few tables and chairs, would make a comfortable place for the children.
 The children of today are tine men of tomorrow. Good children make

To Live LOn9!

A recipe given by a famous physician
for long life was: keep the kidneys in
good order! Try to eliminate thru the
Akin and intestines the poisons that other
wise clog the kidneys. Avoid eating
meat as much as possible; avoid too much
salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and vege.
table diet. Drink plenty Of water, and
exercise so you sweat-the skin helps to
eliminate the toxicpoisons and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
nation, as backache, scalding "water,"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This
is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid
and was discovered by DR.. Pierce of
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y: II your
druggist does not keep it send ~ cents
to Dr.. Pierce for trial package and you
will know that it is many times more
potent than lithia and that it dissolves
oric acid as hot water does sugar.
