To The Honorable City Council,
 Ketchikan, Alaska,

ANSbShAA0AAJ NAAeNSNfNf Gentlemen:-
 In as much as an epidemic of Meas ! les, of virulent and severe form has broken out in Ketchikan, several cases appearing in a single day, which fact leads us to believe that many people must have been exposed to the con tagion at one time, we the undersign- ed practicing physicians of Ketchikan, recommend the following:-
 FIRST: That all existing cases be strictly isolated and quarantined by the Health Officer.
 SECOND: That all quarantined houses be thoroughly fumigated by the Health Officer before their inmates are allowed the liberty or the town. THIRD: That all the Schools, Sun day Schools, and Theatres be closed to children for at least ten days
 FOURTH: That the Health Officer frankly warn the public of their lia- bility in concealing or failing to re- port all cases of courageous disease. FIFTH: That your body may be assured that we are not concealing any facts regarding the location Of our cases, and that we stand ready and willing to cooperate with you in check ing and eliminating this epidemic.
 Respectfully,
 B. L. Myers, M. D.

COTTON FARMERS ARE ALERT
Resolution Of Protest Against British
Attitude Toward American Trade
War Is Disgrace.

Leaders Of the Farmers National
union, which claims 100000 mem
bers, have made public a resolution OF
protest against the British attitude to-
ward American trade, of which copy
has been sent to President Wilson.
The protest characterizes the war as
a disgrace to civilization and shame
to humanity" and. calls upon the presl
dent to place an embargo, under the
provisions Of the law Of 1919, upon the
export Of arms and ammunition in re.
tallation for the British attitude to.
ward American trade.
In support of this it makes the state
ment that during the Spanish war both
England and Germany placed embar.

IN FAVOR OF COOPERATION
Movement Among Farmers Is Grow
ing 3apidIy In Every State-idea
Becoming More Popular.

The cooperative movement among
farmers is growing rapidly in every
state. Almost every farm paper Is
printing a great deal of material along
this line. Here, for example, is an
editorial from a recent issue Of the
Wisconsin Agriculturist, which tells
how the movement is advancing:
According to a report of the sur
vey which has recently been made
by the office of markets of the United
States department Of agriculture at
Washington, we learn that more than
a billion dollars worth Of agricul-
tural products are sold by coopera-
tive and farmers marketing, Sssocia.
tions in the United States every year.
The extent of cooperative marketing
In the United States shown by this
investigation will prove a surprise to
many persons who have been under
the impression that cooperative sell
ing in this country is in an unde-
veloped stage
"The department has. listed more
than $500 market associations; 2700
cooperative and farmers elevators;
$500 cooperative and farmers cream
cries and more than 1000 cooperative
fruit and produce associations in this
country.
"The idea of cooperative marketing
is becoming more popular in the
United States and better results are
being obtained than have prevailed
IN the old-fashioned system OF indi.
vidual handling Through the hardling
OF agricultural products through CO.
operative associations 'armers have
been encouraged to improve their
crops and to standardize in the pack.
Ing OF products, The discovery Of the
best daily market also has been one
of the principal advantages of the sys.
TEN, resulting in advantages both to
the consumer and the producer.
ITO cooperate is highly advisable;
no farmer can hope to realize as good
results from his own individual ef.
forts as he can by combining with his
neighbors in finding the best prices
Tor the products Of his farm"

NO DOUBT THAT RESIN0L
DOES STOP ITCHING

1t is fact that the moment resinol
ointment touches itching skins, the
itching stops and healing begins. With
the aid Of resinol soap, it almost al
ways clears away all trace of eczema,
summer rashes, pimples, or similar tor
menting, unsightly eruption quickly,
leaving the skin clear and healthy.
And the best of it is you need never
hesitate to use resinol soap and resi-.
mol ointment. Resinol is a doctors
prescription which for twenty years
has been used by careful physicians
for many kinds Of skin affections.
They know that its soothing, healing
action is brought about by medication
SO bland and gentle as to be suited to
the most delicate or irritated skin.
Resinol ointment and resinol soap are
sold by all ruggists.-Adv.

Books and Bangs.

John Kendrick Banks, author Of "A
Houseboat on the Styx," and Coffee
and Repartee," who is spending the
summer at his camp in Maine, said in
an interview last week: People
should own and read books just as
they should seek Friendships, and try
to understand their friends. A book
that one has come to know, and to
love, is one of the truest Of friends.
In my library in Maine are not many
books, but none the less Lincoln walks
there with me; Emerson is my friend;
Balzac and Dumas are permanent
dwellers at my side; frolic with O..
Henry, and | play boyish tricks with
Aldrich and Penrod; fence with Mon
