The use of money is all the advan- tage there is in having it. Money is no good if it is earned for the pur- pose of hoarding. Primarily it was intended as a circulating medium of exchange, to take the place of heavier or more bulky articles. The man wi.h too many potatoes and too little flour is not compelled to carry his flour to the man with the potatoes, but sells his product and uses the medium Of exchange to purchase other things When money is placed in the old sock or laid away in the sugar bowl it re- tires from circulation and the country is that much poorer in medium of exchange. A man should not be ex- travagant, but rather should Save. but the proper place for your savings is in bank where the money can be Used daily and you receive all the ad- vantages of it's circulation.

The music-lovers of Valdez are to meet Wednesday night for the pur- pose of organizing an orchestra, and probably band. Valdez is possibly the only town in the Territory which has no aggregation for the purpose of disturbing sleep. The synCOpated melodies arising from brass and stringed instruments are never heard in this city While our souls pine for melody we are confined to the ravings of the malamute and the shriekings of the photograph. Even the tintinab- ulation of that instrument of torture from far Hawaii, the ukulale, IS rele- gated to innocuous desuetude in our fair city. We have the talent, the time and the money, but so far the only chords produced by our citizens have been discords. This state of fffairs must change. If music hath charms to soothe the savage breast

The drop in the price of wheat and certain other food products yesterday iSt the news that President Wilson
 would address Congress upon peace
 proposals. affords a significant hint
 of the direction from which the main
 alleviation of the high cost of living
 must come. Just as war created the
 abnormal conditions mainly responsi-
 ble for the high prices of today. so
 peace will lend to restore the normal starus and with it a more natural price range. Millions will turn from destruction to production of every thing from manufactured articles to foodstuffs. Whatever stores of pro- ducts there may be will be released to the world market by free inter- course. All this will have it's natu- ral effect on prices. AS long as so large a portion of the worlds most efficient industrial population is de- stroying instead of creating, the de- nland for the products of those who are creating will be great enough to r:aintain an abnormal level. Inves- tigation, legislation and prosecution have their value. But peace as a outranks them all.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC AND THE MAILS

For years the lottery business was carried on in the United states, re- gardless of widespread popular pro- test against it. Small and large con- munities, even States, attempted to suppress it, but without success. Var ious methods were resorted to with the hope of exterminating the evil. All announcements Of prospective drawings were prohibited in some of the States, but the lottery people and a certain class of newspapers evaded the statutes and the penalties attached to their violation by pub fishing, as news, the results of draw ings, a method of advertising which was as useful to the business as any ether could be. There were numerous Indictments, arrests and trials, but only few convictions, and the lotter- ies continued to flourish. Finally the Federal Government, through Con- gress, was prevailed upon to act. Tue use of the mails for the transmission of any kind of matter relating to the lotteries was made a penal ottense and the lottery business was practi- Cally destroyed. It has for years, to all intents and purposes, been al extinguished industry in the United States.
 The Federal government should not permit the carriage of intoxicat- ing liquors in the mails. The sent.- ment of the country is against the transmission by the Post Office of liquor advertising and of publi a- tiOns containing such advertising. Several States are now striving :. prevent the sale within their borders of publications that advertise liquor. But the efforts of these States, are iii effect, being antagonized by the Federal government.

To speak of a Swiss navy sounds

To speak of Swiss navy sounds ridiculous or merely frivolous. It is a fact, nevertheless, that iron clads nave sailed on the waters of Lake Le- man and that to "the mastery of the sea" the castle of Chiffon owed its for many years. Sea power" played great part in the prctracted struggle beIWeer Geneva and the Counts of Savoy. About 1890 Geneva appointed an admiral in charge of the fleet; in 1916 the post was filled by Nobel Gallatin his flagship the soleil, carried ten pieces of ordnance.

country, druggists have been having
an extraordinary demand for this
product and it is predicted that this
summer women Will wear smaller and
pretticr shoes than ever.
Tho fact that this new discovery
which is made from a Japanese product
will actually remove corns-roots and
all-and without the slightest pain or
soreness, is, Of course. mainly respon-
siblc for it's large and increasing sale.
You apply just a little on a tender,
aching corn and instantly the soreness
is relieved. and soon the corn is SO
shriveled that II may he lifted out with
the fngerS-root and all.
IceMint is a clean. creamy. snow
white, non poisonous substance and

tender skin.
Cutting or pairing corns often pro-
duces blood poisonoing. and people are
warned to stop it.
