THE DUTY OF ouEBEc.

The proposal which has been made in the provincial legislative assembly of Quebec that the province of Quebec secede from the confederation of Ca nadian provinces ought to be quickly put down when it comes upsfor debate on the eighth of January. This is of course the outcome of the recent cleo ton in which Quebec was the only province which voted against con scription. That bill was hard fought by that province and while the people did not vote directly thereon they did liI the other provinces elect a major !ty of those who will support it and it was conclusively shown that the people of Canada are convinced by a large majority that conscription should replace the present system of volunteering.
 Because it was not victorious in its contentious Quebec now wants to suIlx but what it would have said about the rest of the provinces, or any one of them in fact. had they attempted to do the same thing because they lost can readily be imagined Those who back such proposition show them selves poor losers. They should real ize that if the Dominion is going to meet it's responsibilities it must, stand united The attitude which has been manifested by those in Quebec and of course the position of those who arc backing this latest idea is giving the greatest sort of comfort to the enemy. What Quebec should do, and what it's leaders should urse with all their strength, is for the province to accept the will of the majority and buckle down to business by doing their part like the rest of the nation. It IS a sorry spectacle which Quebec presents when it talks about secession.

VOGUE FOR GRAY.

The world has gone on for a century or two feeling that gray is the tone of sadness and that it's Quakerish ugli- ness must be avoided. It has been a difficult color for decades. Women have adopted it only when the silver sheen on it's surface made it possible.
 This season. however, all doubts are dispersed by the superior tones which the dyers have imparted to the various fabrics grouped under the elastic name of gray. =
 There is moonlight gray, which may spell peace, but it is in close proximity to artillery gray, which stands for death. There is the gray of granite and the gray of London smoke. There Is the gray of New England sea mist and there is the tone that one gets from the glitter of cut steel.
 These grays are not used alone this season. They are combined with horizon and Chinese blues with jade and Egyptian green. with ineendie red, mandarin yellow and amethyst purple.

THE PENALTY
 OF 0VERW0RKl
Many Alaska People Are Beginning
 To Fell the Strain

The heavy tax of overwork - the extra strain upon the back so neces' sary to many trades and occupa- tions is hard on the kidneys. The kidneys begain to fail in their work and the poisonous matter collects in the system. If your work seems hard for you, if you seem tired and listless, if you notice sediment in the urine, unnatural color or irregu lar passages and seem to be running down without apparent cause, be- gin at once with Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that has proven so beneficial to SO many residents O this vicinity. It has brought strength to the backs of thousands of working men and women.
 Mrs. Margaret A. Nesary, 1513 Twenty-first Ave, S., Seattle, Wash. says: "I' I worked too harl l had dull, sickening pains across my Joins and hips. My whole system was affected and made me feel poor ly in every way. Spells of dizzi- .negs came on and I had glimmering before my eyes at times. My kid neys were irregular in action and the passages were distressing. Deans Kidney Pills greatly benefited me. In spite of my advanced age, I am active and do all my own housework."
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for 8 kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pils-the same that Mr. Nemsary had. Foster-Mil- burn C: Props, Buffalo. N. Y.

The first letters from the distant Arctic post of Rampant House, on the Porcupine river, to come thru to Dawson since the close of naViga' tion get here in the last lower river mail, according to the Daw- son News, They left Rampant House December g, They state that several deaths had occurred among the Indians, and that game was very scarce. Rabbits, grouse and ptarmigan, and the lynxes which were caught primarily for their furs, were about the only food animals.
