A Thorough Test
One To Convince the Most Skepti-
 ticaI Skagway Reader

The test of time is the test that counts.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have made their reputation by effective action.
 The following case is typical.
 Skagway residents should be con- vipced.
 The testimony is confirmed-the proof complete.
 Testimony like this cannot be ig- nored.
 Mrs. Ellen Watson, 4O5 E. Thir- tieth St, Tacoma, Wasn., says: "Af- ter an operation and being in the hospital three months my kidneys were weak. My back was lame and there was a heavy dull ache across my Joins. My kidneys sometimes acted too frequently and EOmetimes not often enough and bladder trou- ble caused me a great deal of dis tress. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of all that trouble" (State- ment given November 4, 1915O
 On May 23, 1917 Mrs. Watson said: "I can never say enough in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me of kidney complaint and the cure has lasted"

ME SCENT THE CENT

Some are born with hOnors, and some have hOnors thrust upon them and it now looks as though Alaska is in for the latter.
 With the advent of the war tax, the Scent letter postage the l-cent tax on movie admissions, and the increase tax on various commOdi- ties, there is only one alternative left for the postmaster, the moving picture manager and the merchant. They will have to import the gay and festive copper penny in or der 10 make change.
 For a score of years Alaska has known nothing smaller in Uncle Sans coins than the 5-cent piece, and those from the Interior re cogntze nothing less than a two-bit piece, but all this must fade away and pass into the dim and misty past. The copper cent must come, and with it, a realization of the purchasing powers Of a hundredth art Of a dollar.

MYSTERIOUS FISH t
 BOATS EATING SUBS

tondon,-Not until Germany has been floored for the ten-count will the world have peep at the Mysterious, odd-shaped fighters that ara beating the submarine today. in England they are referred to vaguely as "mystery-ships' and 'hush-boats." Imaginative people give them fantastic shapes and en- dow them with powers beyond the dreams of the greatest naval design CTS. So perhaps the land-faring folk will be disappointed when it's all over and the hush-boats come out of the haze to be looked at by seaport visitors.
 Privileged visitors to the great naval bases are extremely reticent about the hush-boats. For weeks the newspapers have been limiting about something they know but have crossed their hearts not to tell something about the new ana ASS- terious sea-rowdies which despise naval foot-work but prefer to rush in headlong and scrap it out with the U-boat till one or the other gees down.
 The mystery-ship ranks with the tanks as q feat of invention and con- struction, according to the jealous guardians Of the secret

The latter feature Is made possible by

that hereafter all temporary appointments

for appointments and promotions must be

proved himself worthy of the new rank,
when the appointment may be made

Declaring that the farm loan banks
have been allowed to drift along until

NOT ASK BRYAN TO
!. QUIT, PRESIDENT INSISTS
Writes Former Secretary Refuting
Statement Anent Celebrated
Dumba Conversation.

President Wilson has written former
Secretary Bryan a letter to refute the
frequently published statement that he
asked for the Secretary's resignation
because of the celebrated so-called
Dumba conversation, in which Mr.
Bryan, after the sending of the Ilusi-
tania note. is said to have informed the
former Austrian ambassador not to take
Il too seriously. The letter was given
out at the White House and follows:
my attention has been called to a
book in which the author states by very
clear implication that i demanded your
resignation as Secretary of State be-
cause of language used by you in an IN
terview with Ambassador Dumba soon
after the first Lusitania note.
you may quote me as saying that I
did not ask for your resignation or de-
sire it. as any one can learn from my
note accepting your resignation.
.And this statement ought also to be
4 sufficient answer to the criticism OF
you based upon the Dumba interview.
For I could not make 1t II thought
you responsible for the misrepresenta-
ton placed upon that interview In

ton. It could not have affected the
