 Information from Washington points to the fact that this system will prob ablv be changed
 It k to be understood that national guard officers. in advocating compen. sation ae so threueh a belief that a more efficient system can be maintain cd thereby In fhe past they have gjy. en their services and pent good deal of money to huld up the guard and would continue to do go without compensation The fact that some svstem of eempen ation would mater ally aId in maintaining diecinNne and in insiztiug on certain attendance to duties and studies. both of officers and enlisted men. Is what gives the pay bill It's great charm in the eyes Of those who are working for the better ment of the guard
 As for the proyl7ion in the associa. tion's recommendations that each state be required to furnish 5o0 men for each congressional district, those in touch with military affairs in this state Know that Connecticut turnish- es approximately roo men for each district There are five districts in this state and. instead of $500 men. there arc over $500. exclusive of the naval militia in The organizations here Compared with the national guard of New York state. too. this will show to Ceneetieuts advantage.

Cast Aluminium Is to cooking utensils what Sterling Silver Is to spoons and other tableware. It IS solid through and through-has no coating to wear or chip off. Being cast in one solid piece there are no seams nor joints to leak, and under our method of C. instruction 1t does not warp; so 1t can justly be called the "Indestructible Ware" Cast Aluminium Ware cost just a trife more than stamped or other inferior ware, but the difference is very small when its durability is considered.

SEWARD. ALASKA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER ', 1916

Several small communities in Alaska have lost the
 right to vote in the past because of oyesght by officials who in most instances are not to blame Itwoud seem to be the duty of some one in permanent authority to re- mind officials of what is to be done when the time comes near for doing it. Changes occur often in Alaska oI hciadom that such errors are bound to happen. It Is all very well for some people say that man would not be asked to lose his vote for such but the man said it has happened The whole election might hinge on the vote of one district and it is certain that contest would result in the ease of the Delegate election anyhow if it could be proved that the requirements were not fu filed However, the law seems to be very plain in the mat ter and no wrggug of technical nature can hide that one very great fact

ILLINOIS TO HAVE EUGENICS LAW IF
 OFFICIALS CAN

CHICAGO, Oct. 6. - Illinois is to have a real eugenics law if a fight begun today to that end and backed by prominent members of the bench and munipal and state leaders is successful in the next session of the state legislature.
 Half wits and other mental defect ives are aimed at in particular, while restrictions against the marriage of the physically unfit also will be in- corporated in the proposed law.
 The failure of former eugcnics laws to withstand the constitutional tcs, in court. will not deter the advocates of the plan, who will frame a bi1 a, cordiug to these decisions.

THRIFT TALK

What proportion of the people pay
cash for their goods?
One social investigator found that
about 80 per cent Of the people pay
their bills within thirty days, 20 per
cent take from one to three months,
40 per cent never pay in full, and 2
per cent never pay at all.
This city Investigator also found
that if women bought their goods for
cash, if they bought in quantities and
watched weights carefully, about 25
per cent might be deducted from the
price of goods.
About ten billions of dollars is spen
every year to keep up 10000, 900
American homes. If the saving in
purchasing goods for cash was only
5 per cent, the total would be no
less than $5OO,000,000 annually-a
sum so large one can hardly com
prehend it. Men and women should
be taught how to buy, and to pay
cash, says one social scientist, if
the cost of living in this country is
to be reduced materially.

PIN-MONEY

When pins were first introduced
into England, less than 400 years
ago, they were so expensive THAI
only wealthy people could afford
them, and those who could were as
proud of the fact as people are to-
day over the possession of automo
biles.
Then, as now, the statute BOOKS
contained some very peculiar laws
Among them was a regulation per
hitting manufacturers to sell their
pins only on January 1st and End. So
when the good wife went forth on
these dates to get her pins, she
bought them with what she called
her pin money" To have pin
money" in those days was an 1ndlca-
ton of social position, and we can
imagine the people liked to exploit
the fact. The expression has been
preserved with somewhat the same
significance. To have pin money
is to have money that does not
have to be spent for necessities.
It may be interesting to know that
about $500 tons Of iron and brass
are used in the manufacture of pins
in the United States yearly.-From
The Peoples Home Journal for Feb
ruary.

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Ladysmith Citizen

The public endorsement Of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong
er can be had. When a man comes
forward and .testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would not
do so. Telling ones experiences
when it is for the public good is an
act of kindness that should be appre-
ciated. The following statement
given by a resident of Ladysmith
adds one more to the many cases of
Home Endorsement which are being
published about Doan's Kidney Pills.
