Additional Reports From The Wrecked Mariposa
 Give Valuable Details

Major l.. H French, one of the best known and best liked of all Alaskans, was passenger on the ill-fated Mari posa. He is identified with the larg- est construction enterprises in Alas ka, financed and built the Seward Pen insula railroad, owned Number 5, An vii Creek built the longest ditches in that section and was the first man el- ected to Washington. He is in Ket- chikan, on the Princess Sophia which has on board the last of the wrecked Mariposa passengers. Fl. ys that Delegate Charles SulzeY - ad himself with great credit O. , Mariposa went on the rocks; that he had calming and comforting word of reasurrance for everyone, pulled an oar in the first boat when volunteers were called for, and on shore was busy looking after the comfort of wo- men and children-wholly forgetful of his own. The Major says that N. J. Smith C'Red Nels"), once Copper River marshal at Cordova, was one of those who were most calm, thought full and helpful. No early boat for him--never even put on all his clothes the gentlest word for every kid-and tigers growl and claws for every crowding bohunk. Some man!"
 The Major refuses to make any crit icism of anybody or anything that happened or to acknowledge that he did anything to calm, or comfort or aid anybody. Well, we haven't yet heard individual stories, but Harry Duke of the ill-starred Al-ki came down on the Alameda, having been a second time wrecked on the Mariposa-and he rushed into the Miner office and said, Major French was chiefly re- sponsible for maintaining order and quieting passengers-don't fail to give him credit" Everybody who knows Major French, would know that this was true if he was on board.
 Alaskans who may read the above undoubtedly we'll deserved comments, will recognize at once that they are not overstretched, because these three men are Alaskans from the ground up.
 It was ascertained this afternoon that Major French is on way to Wash ington where he goes to accept com mission as Colonel in the National Ar my. That the Major will make good. goes without saying. And every AL askan knows as much.

NATIONAL RED CROSS REDUCES NUMBER
 OF PAID EMPL0YES

WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-In accor- dance with it's policy of keeping the people of the country thoroughly in formed on all of its activities, the War Counci! of the American Red Cross makes public a summary of salaries paid at National Headquarters as of November 1.
 On that date there were 423 paid employees. a reduction of 63 in the month of October. There are now SS volunteers at National Headquart- CTS who devote their entire time to Red Cross work without remunera- tion. The salaries paid were classi- fled as follows:
 Under $500, S5; $500 but less than $1,000, 1S2; s1,O0O but less than $1,- 800; S6; $500 but less than $2,000, 33; $,2000 but less than $2,500, 10; $2,500 but less than S3'000, 6; $3000 but less than $5,000, IS; Over $5000, 3.
 Four months ago, there were 700 paid officers and employees at National Headquarters. Since that date the membership of the American Red Cross has been tripled and the number of chapters doubled. In spite of this enormous growth the number of paid employees has been decreased by 277.
 This reduction is due in part to the decentralization of administration which has transferred much routine work from National Headquarters to the thirteen divisional offices, whose pay rolls are not included in the above statement, and in part to the read justment at National Headquarters.

BIG EATERS GET S
 KIDNEY TROUBLE SAYS AUTHORITY
Cake a tablespoonful of Salts to flush Kidneys if Back hurts.
Omit all meat from diet if you feel
 Rhcmatic or Bladder bOthcrs.

: The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from oyerwork, become sluggish; the elim- inative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine Is cloudy, full of sediment Of you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad. get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take table spoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending blad- der disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, makes a. delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage; and belongs in every home because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.
