PAYING THE DOCTOR:

 We haven't yet learned to take ad- vantage of the resources of civilization to anything like the extent We might. For instance, we wait until we get sick, and then we pay the doctor to help us get we'll It would be much more sensible to pay him to help us keep from getting sick.
 Fantastic idea, you say. Not at all It already Is working in large num- Der of college communities, right here fin the state universities of Missouri and Kansas. fer instance.

In the University of Missouri the plan is still further developed so that the fec cov,rs medical and sur gical attendance. The health work in both schools Is so interesting, not only for what it Is dCinE fer the pupils, but for the example it is setting other com munities. tint it is only right and proper to call attention to 1t.

 I thought him through. He went he stopped, his breath came short his eyes they popped, for there upon the old P. O., another rag set him ago.

better shown than in this unhappy and bitter struggle, when Americans were pitted against Americans. Both sides were fighting for principles of Government, the North for the principle of union, the South for the principle of the right Of States to secede from that Union.
 We entered the Spanish War to put an end to misrule in Cuba. Again our quarrel was not with the span4sh people, but with the Gov ernment, which was creating condi- tions in Cuba that we could not endure with self-respect.
 In all our previous wars against foreign powers the American people have fought for principles, not for wealth or power, just as they are fighting today. They have fought against governments, not against peoples, just as they are fighting today. They have fought fearlessly and fairly, just as you and the other American soldiers of this war will fight

Where Nearly Foot of Rain raIlG
 Every Week in the Year.
 "It is a remarkable fact that in In. dia. one of the most arid countries in the world, there is one spot that hss the record rainfall of the whole earth" " ssid Dr. William Roberts, British agri- cultural expert in India, to corre- spondent of the Washington Post. AThis place Is Cherappnil. in Assam. It is in the path of the monsoon and in a valley, and there is almost con- stant rainfall.
 .sThe average rainrEII is 600 inches a year, or fifty feet. which Is nearly a foot a week. This seems almost be- yond comprehension when it Is consid- cred that the rainfall ot the United States, for instance, ranges from six teen to thirty-ive Inches. In some places there have been as high as six ty-iYe inches of water in a year but this Is the exception.
 "Durlng the rainy season in Chera' punii the waterfall is heaviest, but there Is rain throughout the year. Not yithstauding this terrific moisture, the inhabitants of the district raise vege- tables and grain. They 1o this by building terraces which carry the wa ter off"

 Experiment.

If you suffer from backache; headaches or dizzy spells; if you rest poorly and are languid in the morning; if the kidney secre- tions are irregular and unnatural in appearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especial ly prepared for kidney trouble - they are recommended by thousands Read The following interesting state ment.
 Mrs. NJ. E. Gagen, 1O13-A Florida St., San Francisco, Cal, says: T had dropsy and other kidney trouble and was miserable. My back couldn't have given me any more misery if l had broken it. My kidneys were weak and my feet, ankles and hands became swollen, as a result. l felt so miserable, run down and depressed I was discour- aged. I could hardly bend over because my back hurt me so much Doan's soon strengthened and regu- lated my kidneys. The swelling went away and I was again well and had all my former strength"

 Citizen Soldiers

SOME NATIONAL TRADITIONS

This course should include a backward glance over the military history of the United States. It is worth while for the soldier to recall why and how the men before us fought for American principles and rights. You are representing today the same ideals and fighting for many of the same things they fought for in 1776, 17SS, 1872, 1861, and 1898.
 In TITS our forefathers refused any longer to submit to the de- mands of g tyrannical government and declared themselves independ- ent.
 Tn their attitude they had the sym pathy of q great many Englishmen who were broad enough to see that the American colonists were really fighting for the rights of all rec people. In the British Parliament Pitt and Burke and other great En- glishmen openly defended the Am erican patriots.
 In 17sS we found ourselves in a state oa war with the French Gov ernment. This is not usually thought Of as an American war; sinc. tbero was no fighting except for q few encounters on the high seas. There was no declaration of war and it was all settled within a few months. Yet the fact Is that stae of war actually existed. Here again we had no quarrel with the French people, whom we admired and loved for the help they had given us during the Revolution.
 In the War of 1912 with Great Britain, the principal question at issue concerned tthe freedom ot American ships and the rights of American sailors on the high seas' For the most part the American Ar my was poorly trained and equip ped and had little success. It re- deemed itself, however, at the Bat tie of New Orleans, where Andrew Jackson led the western militia to well-earned victory. The British Government tactily recognized the soundness Of the principle TOT which the Americans fought.
 Americas next war was with Mex ico. The Mexicans had not been very careful of American rights either in Mexico itself or along the frontier, and the disagreement as to tue ownership Of a certain large strip of land along the Rio Grante easily led to hostilities. In the war that followed the armies or Scott and Taylor won victory after victory against overwhelming odds and eventually Mexico sued for peace.
 Less than a generation later came the great Civil War. Never was the fighting spirit of the citizen-soldier

MALT MASON HAS WILD DREAM ABOUT SRAGWAY

The following communication was received yesterday by the Daily Al a-2au and We print it because We age heartily in accord with the moral of the story.
 Editor Daily Alaskan:
 As l was walking down Broadway l ;uct a man the other day, upon wuose luce there was grin from ear to ear, from top to chin. l thought him crazed as by he went, he seemed as if on evil bent, for 'o himself he muttered low: I'd like to know, I'd like 10 know" Thinks l, he's thirsty; will turn, and, following him I'll surely learn where booze is sold in some resort, and sure that place will l report.
 l followed fast and soon we stood near by a flagpole made of wood, upon 9 business house at hand, where he had stopped and raised his hand. See that flag, O see that flag, Now its but a dirty rag, Blown by storms to smitHereeus-such love of cOun- try.s not worth beans"

 It leaned to North, it leaned to West; on top a flag had tried it's best to guard the children playing near, and passers-by to daily cheer.

 He wept.

It held a flag both clean and bright, but that queer pole-it was a sight! Its back was bumped and bent and broke, like a sourdough who'd lost his poke.
