Letter from Manchester District.

Early in May, when the tempera-
/ ture was lower than normal, some
people thought we might have repe-
tition of the cold weather, even snow
that some of our forefathers expert
enced in May and June. Possibly
this feeling was the result OF putting
more seeds in the soil earlier IN the
season, to help make food cheaper
and more plentiful
/ Recently we read a news Item say
! ing that a man was accused OF steal
ing a Bible. When given hearing,
he pleaded to be leniently dealt with,
! intending to sell the book with which
/ to buy food for his family.
| Already magazines are spreading
the news that eggs will be dollar
per dozen next winter. With the in
! creasing cost of feed, this may be-
come reality.
With all the ingenuity, wisdom of
! the Government, head of States and
other important means to lower the
, prices of foodstuffs, the articles of
everyday use are constantly soaring.
/ During the Civil War and for period
| thereafter the high cost of living was
| in excess of that Of the present prices.
! Mr.. #. D. Arnold, of near New Cas-
! tie, Pa, in going over an account book
covering the period from 1855 to 1868,
found household necessities in those
years sold at the following prices
Sugar 29c a pound, rice 16c pound,
coffee SOC pound, raisins SOC
pound, flour s12 a barrel, laundry
soap 40c pound, 212 gallon wooden
buckets 40c, tea $40 pound, tallow
candles Csc a pound, calico 8712
a. yard, muslin soc a yard, Bingham
40c yard, sewing thread 13c a spool
nails 61aE pound. almanacs 10c each.
! We learn from the Postofice de-
| partment that in order to help raise
the needed money for the War, prices
on mailing newspaper and magazines
will be advanced, which means higher
prices to be paid to get the news of
the world and magazine knowledge.
| At last the meat problem is to be
sDlved-at least to those who are
fond of fish, which is claimed to be
! a brain food. The Alaskan waters

THEATRICAL OFFERINGS
LOVE

No element that is calculated to
win interest and approval from
theater-goers Is lacking in the current
weekend program at the Liberty

ton Of attractions that should satisfy
the most captious. The offerings that
make up the bill include a star OF
more than national fame. Pauline
Frederick. in a Paramount picture
which has scored heavily in New
York and other Eastern cities, and
the serial picture in which Billie
Burke is winning additions to the
ranks Of her admirers.
The Pauline Frederick picture has
as its theme that great human force
that most surely grips the heart The
Love That Lives" is the name Of the
story, and the love that lives in the
picture Is mothers love for her son.
1t is a narrative of high dramatic
power faithfully delineated by a great
artist.
"Gloria's Romance" the Billie
Burke serial that forms a part Of the
program. in the new instalment lives
up to all forecasts made for it. Billie
Burke is always a favorite. and in
"Gloria's Romance" she has a tale
worth the telling. Her gowns are a
particular feature of the production.
The Pathe News pictures have time
ly interest.

The almost universal use of magne-

the treatment of stomach troubles, is
due to the fact that It stops food fer.

the direct cause of nearly all stomach
troubles. OF the many forms of mag
Resia such as oxides, citrates, carbon.
ates, sulphates, ETC., the most suitable
and efficient, and the one prescribed
by leading specialists is bisurated
magnesia, teaspoonful of which in q
little warm water Immediately after
eating will instantly neutralize the
acid, stop fermentation, and thus en-
sure painless normal digestion. Care
should be taken to get bisurated mag.
nesia, as its action is infinitely more
effective. 1t is also, by the way,

sufferers and dyspeptics who follow
this plan and avoid the use of pepsin,
charcoal, soda minis, drugs and medi-
cines are invariably astonished to find
that the stomach, relieved of the irri.

normal tone, and can do its work alone

commits MURDER
While IN SLEEP

Her Temptation" the latest Will
liam Fox picture, which is the main
attraction at the Hawaii theater, is
a drama of domestic life in which a
unique quality is introduced. The
power of the human will is the i'm
portant factor in the story, and the
chief tragic incident is a murder that
a wife commits while she is in a
hypnotic trance. While the theme is
one of unusual sort, it is presented
in a manner wholly artistic. Gladys
Brockwell, who is widely known as a
leading Fox star, has the support Of
an excellent cast in the production,
and with her appears such well
known people as Ralph Lewis, James
Cruze and Bertram Grassby.
The Billy West comedy, held over
from the beginning of the week, con.
tinues to meet with popular approval.
The Hero" as the picture is called,
affords the star full opportunity to
draw the laughs that his appearance
usually calls for.
In addition to the two pictures men.
toned, the new instalment of the Sc.
rial picture, "The Neglected Wife,"
brings new and interesting develop
ments in the story.

manner as the Lyceum which was de-
stroyed by fire. 1t will be across the
spacious lot, so the stage will be as
far as possible from other buildings,
and the corner of the lot on Puunene

on the road to Waikiki will be left
vacant, at least as far as the theater
itself is concerned. This arrange.

THOMAS RIGGS FOR GOVERNOR

Endorsement of Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
member of the Alaska Engineering
Commission by majority of the
Democratic central committee and ma
tional committeeman of the territory
should assure his appointment as gov
ernor, providing Secretary Lane is
willing to. part with his services on
the government railroad.
Commissioner Riggs is represent
alive Alaskan in every sense of the
word and is eminently fitted for the
office of governor. Being we'll inform
ed on Alaskan conditions he has been
of great service to the engineering
commission in determining it's con-
struction policies.
Loyal to degree. Riggs at the
outbreak of the war volunteered to
resign from his present place and
accept any appointment with the
army, to which he might be assigned,
and further offered to take with him
a hundred and fifty frontiersmen who
had also volunteered their services.
The position of governor does not car
ry with it anything like the financial
recompense of Riggs present office,
but that will not deter him for an
instant from taking the place should
his fellow citizens call upon him to
serve and he be convinced that it is
bis duty-Seward Gateway.
