Among hte busY Red Cross work CTS is the knitting class which is turning out a number of fine socks. Mrs. Martin Johnson has brought in two pair, Miss Abbie Crepeau one pair. Mrs. J. McKettrick a pair, Mrs, H. E. Browne, 8 pair, Mrs. c. w. Ask a pair, Mrs. Sandbeck a pair Mrs. James E. Stewart a pair, and htere are others to hear from. This list is for this week-some have brought in socks before and some brought in their first attempt. | All work is under the supervision of Mrs. William Shearer and 1t is safe to say that no pair will be re- turned for faulty work. Mrs. A. J. Baker, Jr. who always does all things she undertakes in most finished manner has completed scarf which was turned in last week and she is now on wristlets and sweaters. The teacher Mrs. Shearer is working on 8 set which will be finished in due time. Mrs. L. s. Keller leads in the number Of pairs of socks turned in and she is now on her tenth pair. One Of the knitters added to the ranks of the Red Cross is little Ruth Stevenson, who has learned how to knit-to knit two plain and purl two and is much delighted that she can do it so well while her mother cannot do the purling. Ruth has passed from the wash rag class and is now at work an a. pair of wristlets, which any of Uncle sam's boys will be glad to wear. Ruth was six years old last Decor ation Day and is the very young est knitter in town. Now that the little girls are getting in line with the good work why not small boys as well. Fifty cents will be paid the boy who brings the first pair Of wristlets to the Daily Alaskan of flee. The work must be of the boys very own work from start to finish, the national requirements must be fulfilled. Yarn will be for the work and now, small men, bgtjE. This does not mean that a few of the boys of larger growth cannot be included in the general knitting but the boy who gets the prize must be under fourteen years. Boys can be doing snip work and so do good job for the country.

AUGUST

I want to wander over pastures still,
 Where sheared white sheep and miId-eyed cattle graze; To climb the thymy, clover-covered hill,
 IT, look down on the valleys hot blue haze; And ou the short brown turf for hours to lie Gazing straight up into the clear, deep sky. I want to walk through crisp gold harvest fields, Through meadows yellowed by tle August heat; To loiter through the cool dim wood, that yields Such perfect flOwerB and quiet SO complete The happy woods wh, ere every bud and leaf Is full of dreams. -.

For months Skagway readers hay seen the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about the good work the8 have done. What other remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit?
 Andrew Martin, 721 F. Street, sa- cramento, Calif., says: "Exposure to dampness and bad weather at my work brought on kidnety trou- ble years ago. A steady ache In the small of my back caused me a great deal of suffering. My kidneya acted toe often and that broke up my rest at night. My back was so weak and painful I could hardly stooD ever to pick up anything and 1t was just as hard to straighten again. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me more help than I had ever re- ceived from any other medicine"
 (Statement given January l5' 1916.)
 On April 10, 1917 MT Martin added "It has been long time since I have needed Deans Kidney Pills. but my faith in them hasn't changed"
 Price COG, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney renledy-- get DOan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Martin had. Foster-Mil- burn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
