THE FOOD PROBLEM

IL Is inconceiYable to us that any lover of his country can refuse to co-operate with the Government in every attempt to economize in those articles Of food we should nest carefully conserve. How little tue sacrifice for us to reduce our indulgence in meats, fats, and oth- CT food products Sc greatly need 4t for our soldiers and allies! And yet merchants report hundreds of their customers who seem only in tent on laying by in store for their own selfish ends the largest possible supply Of the very things ws should be most anxious to send abroad. He is a traitor to his couEtry who fails her in this respect Rs well as the man who deliberate ly betrays her to her foes.

Whereas Ethel Barrymore, Maxine Elliott aud Lillian Russell succeeded in spite of their beauty, the third raters will not, although they may get 8, tem- pOrary position a~d popularity which will pass for success. But it never lasts more than few years. Anybody in the profession can tell you of numerous in stances of girls who have been given easy leading parts after incredibly lit tie experience because of their good looks. As soon as, they arrive at that point they stay there until their looks Jade and their usefulness vanishes. They think t&civ position is secure and that work is no lGGEer necessary for them. Now, as q matter of fact, the history of the stage has shown that there iS nothing. the American public grows tired of so quickly as pretty face. There must lc something behind the face. X wUm4a can no more be- come an actress without working and studying.

1HE HARVEST IN SAXONY

The Magdeburgische zeitung re- caiYes from its Dresden correspond ent the following report, derived from an authoritative. sourcea
 The great expectations at first held of the harvest have unfortun- ateIy not been fulfilled. The great drought in May and June did con siderable harm. Oats and barley have failed; rye and wheat reach a medium harvest. Particularly un- favorable is the harvest arouLC Leipzig; in the hillv districts it is better. The potatoes offer the best prospects, so that they will cover the deficit flu corn. The konlrabi crop is bud; the fodder harvest in general is also not spec tally good. On the other hand, the present rains will be very good for fodder roots Experts hope that no attempt will be made to hasten potato deliveries, as this year, ow- ing to the long winter, the pota- toes were planted late and must taarefore remain in !nc ground tong CT than usual.

 Statement
Evidence Skagway Readers Will
 Appreciate

Doan's Kidney Pills have done splendid work.
 Have merited the unstinted praise they have received.
 Here's evidence of their value that none can doubt.
 It's testimony that's twice-tcld and well confirmed.
 Such endorsements are unique il the annals of medicine
 Should convince the most skepti- cal reader.
 F. 4, Sutton, tents and awnings dealer, 396 Hoyt St., Salem, Ore, says: T had kidney trouble and rheumatic twinges ten years or more, My back gave me great deal of bother and sharp pains eX- tended all through my body. I was all run down, lost weight and was in poor health. Doan's Kidney Pills made me feel like a different man. My appetite improved and the aching and pains left me" Statement given January 31, 'O6.)
 On April 13, 1916, MT. Sutton added: Whenever my kidneys aren't acting right I take Doan's Kidney Pills for few days and theJ never fail to overcome the trouble"

RUSSIAN ARNuSTICE

The dispatches announcing that the BolsheYiki had arranged a truce with Germany, and that Len Inc and Trotzky threatened to re pudiate the cOuntry's debt to the al lied nations, indicate that there is aS yet no sign of improvement in the Russian situation. The Bolshev Xxi leaders may not be able to com DKnd the Russian nation, but it ap- Be.Es certain that they are in a po- BitioR to do great deal of harm 10 the allied cause. Aside from the opportunity given Germany to use the troops now holding the Russian line, elsewhere in the war zone, there is the grave danger th't Lhs million prisoners of war held by the Stays may be released. Thi reinforcement of the Teutonic ar Ries undoubtedly would prolong the WBr beyond the expectations of al hed leaders, who had counted upon A.csrtain passive assistance from Russia,
 Already the entente allies are preparing to take measures to coupteract the mischief done by TrotzEy and Lenine. Shipments of supplies from this country have been stopped, and there will be no further loans until it is ascertained that our help will not be given to the pro-Germans h Northern Russia
 There Is 8 vague hope that Gen. KAlsdtnes, the man of the Don COssacks, who is reported to be in Eontrol Of the southern provinces of Russia, will be able to establish something like discipline, and that SS, least part of the Russian forces will be kept facing the Germans. However, the news that the negotia- tons for the armistice were pro crossing on "all fronts" now held by Russians is disquieting. While the Russians for a long time have dOns no fighting, the presence of large forces in the face of the en- eny made it necessary to keep many djyidons on guard. The dismissal of Russian soldiers from further service will make 1t no longer neces- sary for Germany to maintain more than 8 skeleton of its forces On the eaAtsrn front
 n may be taken for granted that ths entente leaders will not be idle ShIls the disiptegra ton of their

STORIES. FROM THE GERMAN
 NEWSPAPERS

into small pieces, It was made in 10. stew with oniors. Some peo- ole thickened the gravy and served 1t with spetzel, 8 south German durpling made of flour, but, alas, no eggs as in the past. After one or two attacks of nausea, people came to like the concoctin. It filled a vacuum, and that is every thing when ones head is light from a still lighter diet. The same meat corned and called robbins l fleiscb was sold, and served in slices at 4 marks q pound. It was very good imitation of corned beef, better than Btewed, and could be eaten cold on bread. As the potatoes became scarce, the bread which had been doled out on allow ance began to deteriorate in qual- ity. As long as it-was composed of 20 per cent of potato flour it was not bad, and served to satisfy i the children when spread with malt extract, in place of sugar or sirup, or the famous kriegsmarmalad, a marmalads made of saccharine, beets tomatoes and turnips, colored red. Witk the reduction of the potato flour in the bread, coarser grains were added; but now 5 per cent sawdust and per cent flour ground from straw are used. In conse- Quence people are suffering great ly rom anemia; stomach troubles are on the increase, especially ul- cers of the stomach, and thread worms.

Ant Strenath.

An English scientist weighed small ant and dead grasShOpper which 1t was dragging to Its nest The weight of the grasshopper was found to be sixty times greater than that of the ant. The force eXertcd by the ant in dragging the grasShopper along the road was therefore prOpOrtiOnately equal to that of man weighing lJO pounds pulling load of four and one half tons or a horse of l.2O0 pounds a load of thlrty-Six tons
