POST FOR MAN HE DERIDED
Lloyd George Picks oId.Time Political
Foe Because He Is Best
Man for Job.

London. Premier Lloyd George
picks his subordinates in curious ways.
On account of the food scarcity and
the need for increased production, the
premier was hard put to think OF a
suitable man to fill the post of presi-
dent Of the board Of agriculture. A
political colleague, overhearing Mr..
Lloyd George speak of his difficulty,
said to him.
II know the very man you want for
agriculture"
"Who is that7" asked Mr.. Lloyd
George.
"Prothero, Of course" was the re-
ply.
"Prothero, Prothero," exclaimed Mr..
Lloyd George. Lets see, isn't that
the man I had controversy with
the man I once called the duke of
Bedford's butler, or something Of that
sort? Why that's the very man l
want"
Roland E. Prothero was an old
time political foe of the premier's, but
that made no difference so long as he
was an efficient man for the post.

Not since the flood itself has human
ity faced the woe that hangs like d
pail over the earth today. The moth
ers of all nations are asking, with
streaming eyes and breaking hearts,
as they send their sons into the welter
OF world-war; ITO what end, o ,God?"
So must the mother of him who died on
the cross have questioned, in the bit
terness of her soul, as she looked up
ward past the dying Christ, to the
darkening skies of Calvary. And as
Mary knew, even in her suffering, that
back of that darkness shone the great
est light humanity has ever known, SO
the mothers of today know that bach
Of their supreme sacrifice shines the
glory and Joy of world-freedom.

Smart Man.

After the supper party the host
handed round box Of cigars with an
expansive smile of the help-yourself-
and-don't-mind-me variety.
Lovely cigars, We know!" he de-
clared, offering the box to the first
guest. "They were a present from my
wife,"
Gently, but none the less firmly, ev-
cry man present swore that smoking
would expand his heart to colossal pro-
portions, or else that he had sworn off
the weed for the duration, says Lon
don Ideas.
When they had all gone the host ex-
tracted a card from under the first
layer of cigars: "From Uncle james, "
"That little speech saved me that
box" he unused. Jolly smart wheeze !"

Nothing can be good for every thing.

 Dosn's Kidney Pills are for one thing only.
 For weak or disordered kidneys.
 Here is reliable eYidnce of their worth.
 Wm. A. Quayle, prop, electric motor repair shop, 991 Harrison. St., San Francisco, Calif., says: "I was troubled with my kidneys fo about two months. The kidneys secr0tIons were profuse and high Iy colored and had to get up four or five times at night to pass them. I worked in 8 lead mine a number 0" years ago and l think that was the cause of my trouble. l be- came worried and went to a drug storA and asked for the best kid pey medicine, DOan's Kidney Pills promptly removed the trou- bls with my kidneys and l have had no sigR of it since."

LIQUOR ADS HOLD UP JUNEAU
 PAPERS

Sesttle subscribers of the Dis hatch of November 3rd., and 4th.' and the Empire of November 2d' and Sd, may never receive their pa uers. The Juneau postmaster has the Seattle papers wrapped in a bundle to be forwardeyd to the Se- attle Postmaster to use his discre- tlon in their delivery. The cause of the delay in delivery IS a paid local announcement of the Alaska agent of 8 large California brewery that the brewing concern will TOT tho Lext 30 days deliver beer to Alaska customers in cage lots.
 Under the state laws Of wash ington newspapers containing H. ouor advertisements cannot be de- liyered in the state. The Juneau publishers contend that the adYeT- tisement in question is in no wise soliciting business or advertising beer in the dry unit of Washington and therefore is no violation ot the Washington state law, the sd- yeFusiug stating specifically that the beer is for Alaska shipment and consumption. secondly under the state law of Washington no brewery could deliver in case lots without a night aviation service.
 Iucidently in connection with oeeI advertising the Postmaster Genera. made an important decision that brewery advertising in behalf oi any organized propaganda is mail able.
 This ruling is covered in para graph II of the official bulletin is sued on September IS as follows;
 advertisements, circulars, anI other matter which are in the na' ture of a propaganda merely, whict purport to set forth the advantas es Of licensing rather than the pro hibition of the sale thereof, o' which are argumnts pro and con or the prohibition question, but whcl do not mention any particula brand of intoxicating liquor o' stats the location of any place where intoxicating liquor Of an! kind may be procured, are not re
 garded as advertisements of into1i
 cating liquors within the meanint of this law"

Be osuse Of the success of the Skag- way organization other cities IormSd Parent-Teacher associations SRl The work accomplished by them has resulted in the building Of a large modern school in Juneau and the authorization by the Alaska legislature of an Alaska Agrlcultur- al college at Fairbanks.
