WHY HUSBANDS LEAVE.

Why do so many husbands run away?
 A statistic;an connected with the bu reau of public welfare has been trying to answer the question.
 After Investigating thousands of cases of assertions he finds that the husbands action can usually be ascrib- ed to one of tbe following causes: E III health and peeyishness of the wife. -...
 SlouchineSs Of the wife either In her own person or In her housekeeping methods or both. The wife's habit of nagging or gos, Siping.
 Dislike for children on the wtfe's part.
 This statistician found that the strongest incentive to reconciliation in cases of family discord is almost in- gariably the child. He also found that very few wives are deserted who are Physically well and mentally cheer full
 Able to contribute to the family h. come either by outside labor or by frugality in home management
 Affectionate and home loving. Sympathetic and considerate of their ! husbands.
 The very interesting and valuable statistics which he collected prove that ! native American husbands are more prone to desert their wives than are the foreign born.
 They also show that married life is the happiest when husband and wife are nearly alike in age, nationality, re- ligiOn, moral standards, temperament, health and physical strength. 1 Subscribe for tue Daily Alaskan

Don't Takea Chance
You Should Act in Time

If you suffer from backache;
 If you have headaches, dizzy spells;
 If the kidney secretions are ir- regular,
 Don't delay-likely your kidneys are sick.
 ThOusands recommend Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Read the statement of this grate- full user.
 Mrs. D. Mason, 2715 East c St., Tacoma, Wash, says: "The first symptou of kidney trouble in my case was a dull, heavy aching in my beck. My back got lame and weak and I had severe headache; and dizzy spells. The kidney se- cretions were too frequent and distressing in passage. I always felt tired and worn out. I tried a number of meditines, but wasn't benefited until I used Doans Kid uey ?nls. Two boxes entirely re- moved the trouble"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Deans Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Mason had. Fostre-Mil- burn O., Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

Estlmateg of the amount Of nonex

Estimates of the amount of money spent annually for intoxicating liquor very greatly. But 1t is safe to assume that we spend each year .$1,SCO OOO,OOO for this purpose. We spend Gn equal amount of money annually for bread and clothing. Suppose the liquor business were destroyed and the money now spent for beer and whiskey should be speu' for bread and clothing-not that it would be necessary to have baker shop or a clothing store on nearly every corner in, our cities, as is the case today with regard to the saloon, but merely as a basis oF comparison and because bread and clothing are two o' the great est staple productions.
 Were the transfer of expenditures to be made 1t would give employ ment to nearly eight times as many workers, who would collectively re- ceiYe five and one-half times as much in wages. Here are the Un- tied states census figures for 1913: Number of wage-earners employed Liquor industry, 62,92O; bread and clothing industries, 493,655. Wages paid - Liquor industry, $45,2E2 900; bread and clothing industries, $244,196,OOO.

PROHIBITION
 HELPSLAB0R
Four Times as Much Employment Given For Equal Investment in Other Lines.

The liquor interests complain that huge amount of capital will be lost if their business is sup pressed. It is not generally known that capital in such a trade gives work to few men and pays less wages than capital invested in any legitimate industry.
 An expert who has investigated the question in the United States writes:
 Combining all of the industries ot the United States, and crediting the liqor industry with it's fair propor- tion of wage earners, wages paid and materials used, the liquor in dustry requires four times as much capital to operate as does the av- craze industry; which means, in substance, that for every 5000, 900 invested in the average industry in the United States, substantially four times as much wages are paid and four times as many workers em- plCyed.
 Viewing the question from an- other angle, it means that if the same amount Of capital that is now invested in the liquor industry were transferred to legitimate business enterprises, the number of workers employed, the sum of wages paid and the amount of materials re- quircd would be increased fourfold. So that even though three quarters Of the total capital invested in the liquor business were destroyed, the workingman, as such, would be just as prosperous.
 It must not be assumed, how ever, that were the liquor business 1bolsh,d every dollar now invest cd in it would be lost, as the li- .Quor men themselves now declare. Land values would remain the same and most of the buildings and much or the machinery could be utilized for other kinds of industries with out serious depreciation in value.
 We are, however, concerned prim- drily with the great mass of work ingmen who would be affected. Let us take five leading industries in the United States-namely, textiles and their finished products; iron and steel and their products; lum- Der and it's manufactures; leather and its products, and paper and printing-and compare them with
 he liquor business (including the mating industry), with reference to he number of wage earners em- ployed, capital invested and wages paid:
 For every $1,OOO,OOO invested in each of these industries the follow iLg number of wage earners are employed: Liquor, TT; iron 284; paper, S67; leather, 469; textiles, 572; lumber 579. These figures prove that the iron industries em- ploys nearly four times as many, paper and printing five times as many, leather six times as many, textiles seven and one-half times as many workers for every $1,- OOO,OOO invested as does the liquor industry.
 What is the ratio of wages paid the workers to the amount of capi- tai invested in this business as compared with each of the in dustries noted aboTeY Here are the figures: Liquor, S.6 per cent; iron. 17.6 per cent; paper, 21.8 per cent; leather, 28.5 per cent; tex tiles 23.9e per cent; lumber 27.1 Iper cent. A quick glance at these figures shows how compara- lively little the laboring. man gets out of. the liquor business.

WILL TRY TO FLY

WananakGr Expects tO Make
 Journey In Thirty HOurS,
.REROPLANE IS BEING BUILT

HBtLUI EHNL To BEBHS gUi6 Largest Machine Ever Designed Is Ex-
 pected to Be Pioneer of Fleet of
 Transatlantic Air Linsrs--Has 1900
 Horsepower and Will Carry a Crew
 of Six Men.
 ROdman Wanamaker will-attempt to fly across the Atlantic next June in an aeroplane constructed for him by the Curtiss AerUplane company. In let ter to the Aero Club of America Mir. Wanamaker sigmifiej his intention of making the flight. He asked the co. operation of the club. He said:
 "Supplementing my letter of Feb. 1, 1914. signifying my intention of mak ing purely scientific test of aeronau. tical power by crossing the ocean In one flight, l beg to advise you of the following developments:
 First, Lieutenant mow Commander John c. Porte, who was to command the America was called to his country by the war, thus temporarily stopping preparations for the flight.
 Now Flier Ten Times the Power.
 Second, pursuing my purpose-tu build an air craft that will cross the ocean-the America Transatlantic com. pany was incorporated, and the com. pany, acting for me, has placed an or der with the CurtiSs AerOplane com pany for a new craft that will have more than ten times the power of the old one. It will be of special design. entirely different from any air craft heretofore built, and especially adapt ed for alightiug on and arising from rough seas and therefore emlncntly fit, ted for the transatlantic flight It Is now under construction and will bC tested at the Atlantic coast aerouauti cal station at Newport News.
 q still believe that the first crossing of the ocean will bring quickly in its train aerial liners which will regularly cross in the air from continent to con. tinent, for, as said in my other letter. the crossing of the Atlantic In one flight of an air craft is, to my mind, as important to aerial navigation as was the voyage of Columbus to transporta- ton by water. Once the Atlantic is crossed in a single flight of an alrship, there will soon follow regular transat. lantic trips and a fixed safe transat, lantic air line.
 Mere Problem of Science.
 "The crossing of the Atlantic by air is not a matter merely of initiative, nor of daring, nor even of skill; it Is problem of science. l hope to see the day when the American Transoceanic company will be running aerial liners regularly across the Atlantic and other oceans"
 Though details of the newsmachine have not been made public, 1t is said 1t is new departure and will be the largest machine ever built; that 1t will have six twelYe-cyllnder motors of 300 horsepower each and will be able to make 100 miles an hour with a crew of six persons, fuel, instruments, pro, visions and other equipment. It Is ex. pected that the flight will take about thirty hours.
 Aeronautical authorities received MT. Wanamaker's suggestion with enthusi- asm and agreed that such a flight Is possible. John Hays Hammond, Jr.; Professor David Todd of Amherst, Alan Hawley and Henry WoodhOuse are among those who expressed their belief in the possibilities of such flight.
