Propaoly the contents of that let ter from Bristol bay to the clerk of the court at Valdez is of more interest to the people of Alaska as a whole today than any news that ever ppss- ed through the malls within the con- fines of th4s territory. The returns therein may favor Sulzer. or Wicker sf em or be prac ically a tie. The vCte pNer m that section could not possi- ply be fo.ecas1 wIth any degree of e&2ctness. 10 illustrate, two precincts cut k, diak way were reported over a month ago. One went almost five to enc for Wickersham and the other welt almost i've to one tor SuIzer. The voters were the same kind of people with the same interests.

The government of the United States IS trying hard to keep out of politics. It apparently Is hoping to succeed in tnls seemingly impossible task by turning much Of its business over to commissions. The last de. cade has seen a heavy increase in the number of commissions created to handle special work of the gov ernment, and these commissions have made valiant effort to eyade being swayed by political influences and in many cases have succeeded.
 Although the members of the vari- ous commissions have been political appointees, the acts of congress ere aLng tnese bodies have taken the fashion of specifying that some of .ne lelsonael S.all be of one political denomination and some of another. me enac .ments, however, have not gone so far as to arrange so that the party in control of the appointive

The interstate commerce commis- sion is the oldest and largest regu- lative commission. It wields tre- mendous influence on the business of the country by bossing the railroads and shippers. It Is a fact that some of the private secretaries of the com missioners are of opposite <oelitical faith to their employers. and the clerks and minor officials ini many instances are of poitic2l persus.o- not tn accord with the administration. The same Is true of the federal re. serve board, Uncle Sams safety valve on the finances of the country.
 Tfc federal farm loan board, the newest big government commission, IS following the same course. The employees are hired without regard to political faith and politics are kept out of the business operations of the body.
 The general feeling Is that politics and et1Icient business do not mix al Washington. and this feeling isAgrow- .ng. The spells system of a genera ton. and less. ago seems to be pass ing entirely and it Is weliS hat il should.

Cold Pack Method
 of Canning Will
 Not Cause Illness

Information given out here today should dispel the uneasiness which has been caused by the wide eiFcula- ton of a statement that fruits and vegetables canned by the cold pack method are liahle to cause poisoning or other i'll effects. Such rumors are absolutely untrue. says Dr. H. L. Lang of the United States Department of Agriculture in statement issued to- day through the committee of food supply of the Connecticut State Coun- ci1 of Defence. @
 The suppesition of poisoning is based upon the action of the bacillus botulinus. This organism is not found in fruit canned according to directions since it is killed by tenn perature of less than boiling. while the directions for canning by the cold pack method call for the exposure of the material canned to boiling tenn. perature.
 Spoiled fruits and vegetables should not be eaten, but sound products are perfectly safe. In case any person ia doubtful of the healthfuiness of their canned products, they may doubIy ass. sure themselves of safety by boiling the contents for a few minutes, after removal from the can.

The 1917-1S school term finds five more states with better kindergarten laws, as advocated by the United States Bureau of Education, the Ma tional Kindergarten Association, and organization of mothers and club women everywhere.
 In Maine and Texas, the new laws authorize the school boards to open a kindergarten wherever parents pe- tition for them. This makes 1t pos sihle for a community to determine for itself, with the slightest degree of difficulty, whether it desires the ad- vantages of a kindergarten training for it's children. In Maine, a feature of the legislative campaign was the presence of ten of the Kindergarten children of Bangor before the edu- cation committee of the House on the hearing of the kindergarten bill. In Texas, the Congress of Mothers and the women's clubs were effective in arousing sentiment for kindergartens all over the state. The education of ficials' of the state supported the measure from the start and the re- suit was not only successful legisla- ton but a widespread public senti- ment for the best type of kinder garten training.
 The amendment to the Washington law, although it does not expressly state that parents may petition for a Kindergarten, is practically the same in effect, since it provides that kin dergarten shall constitute a part of the regular school system and shall be supported in the same way that primary and grammar courses are supported. The result is that when fathers and mothers make known their wishes for a Kindergarten as part of the public school system of their community, a class will be start ed. The following arguments, pre- sented by a representative of the Con

OUR NERVOUS AFFECTIONS.

Amsterdam, Nov. S-Gernan news papers announce that the army phy- sicians have discovered a successful method of curing the nervous afflic- ton 50 frequent among disabled sol- diers, which causes a constant trem- bling of the whole or, part of the body.
 pr. Ernst Rayer. head Of the, nerve hospital at Rederbirken. has outlined method of electrical treatment, which, it is claimed, often effects a complete cure in a. few days, and is almost invariably effective within a period of three weeks. The newspa- pers describe his. method as fol- lows.
 By the application of a gentle electric current which causes no pain whatever. good results have been obtained in few minutes or at the longest two and a half hours. A course of treatment is required after this, which does not last more than two or three weeks, and in light cases is finished in. few days. New attacks may occur due te excitement or nerve strain, but are easily cured

ToDAY,s ANNIVERSARIES.

Thirty years ago today, Nov. S.. 1887, Emile Berliner was granted the first patent on the gramophone style. of talking machine. Berliner was not the pioneer dn this field, although he produced a mechanism which was in many ways an improvement on earlier attempts to produce teamed con- versation.v The first machine called a phonograph was mechanical music player, invented by Fenby, an Englishman, in 1863, and designed to be attached to pianos and other keyed instruments. Machines with a similar object had been projected as early as 1747, but were not successful The discovery of the phenomena on which the modern, photograph is based was made by Thomas A. Edison, while the electrical wizard was engaged on exs periments for totally different end. This was in 1877. His first machines were very crude, but they supplied the inspiration for Beriiner and other inventors. About the time Berliner patented his first gramophone, Edt son again took up his invention. and after much study produced a phono- graph substantially as we know it to. E day, although innumerab1e ref1ne- ments have been made.

Governor HOlcOmb
 Endorses K. of c.

Hartford, Nov. S-Governor Mar GUS H. Holcomb, in an interview to- day, endorsed the war work of the Knights of Columbus and urged the people of Connecticut to be generous in their contributions to the fund be- ing raised by the organization. He said;
 Columbus to raise a fund of $3,000,- 000 in the United States, of which a quota, of $125,000 has been assigned to Connecticut, for the purpose of providing wholesome recreation for soldiers in military camps is worthy of the support of everyone who has the comfort and welfare of our so1- diers at heart. This money, I am told, is to be used in the erection of recreation halls equipped with libra ries, shower baths, player pianos, photographs, reading and writing rooms and similar conveniences. They will be open to soldiers of all creeds The work at the cantonments is being done by the Knights of Columbus at the request of the war department and contributions to their fund will, and well-being of soldiers who have offered themselves for the supreme aid the Federal government in it's efforts to keep the soldiers nlor- ally and physically healthy. The work is worthy of the support of everyone regardless of creed.'

BRITISH LABOR MISSION CONFERS WITH MANUFACTURERS; CONDEMNS
 ENTICINC LABOR FROM EMPLOYER

Hartford, Nov. s.-At a conference of representative manufacturers of Connecticut and the members of the British Labor Administration Mission, held under the auspices of the Con- necticut State Council of Defense this week in the Capitol, Sir Stephenson Kent, K. c. B., head of the mission, 8 member of the Munitions Ministry of Great Britain and director of it's labor supply department, described methods adopted Iby his country in meeting labor problems that have arisen during. the war in connection with manufactutre of munitions.
 He emphasized the necessity Great Britain had met to make best possi- ble use of its skilled la;bor,. to prevent any waste of man power land to use each man to the best advantage.
 Sir Stephenson told of a triangular agreement made recently between capital, labor and the British gov ernment establishing the following features by law: CD That the trade unions give up, during the war, all the restrictive practices developed in pre-war years; CD that employers profits be definitely restricted; (3) that no strikes or lockouts beg de-
 
 war and that all disagreements be submitted to compulsory arbitration. Wages were fixed at the then exist ing scale and the government agreed to make awards if necessary to meet increases in the cost of living.
 As the war goes on, Sir Stephenson said, the government has found it necessary to develope methods of dis tributing its man power properly and of transferring industries from non essential to munitions lines. He con- gratulated the United States on hav- ing adopted the se1ective draft at the start and thus avoiding the possfbil- ity of sending skilled mechanics to the front. The British government, he added, has provided skilled labor for munitions plants by creating an army of about 30o, 900 munition worker volunteers ready to be transferred on call wherever they are needed. As result there is hardly any skilled la-

IMPROVED KINDERGARTEN LAWS ADOPTED IN FIVE MORE STATES
 DURING THE YEAR JUST ENDED

gress of Mothers in Washington, were effective in securing legislation: CD The early years are the most impres- sionab1e and in a wise educational system these years should not be left unprovided for. CD Little children are given a good start not only in school but in life through the excel lent training which the kindergarten gives. (3) The majority of parents who want Kindergarten training for their children cannot afford to pay tuition at private kindergartens. (4) The kindergarten is democratic in that 1t brings additional educational advantages to all children before any must leave school to go to work. (5) One dollar spent in right formation Is better than hundred spent for re- formation later.
 In Oregon, progress was made in Kindergarten legislation despite con siderable opposition. The new law applies only to the city of Portland, and has the further restriction that not more than five and not less than three kindergartens must be installed during the year. It is hoped that Oregon will find the Portland experi- ment so desirable that the legislature will extend the Kindergarten advan- tages throughout the state.
 In Tennessee, the school authori- ties have usually felt that since the state law did not permit the use of state and city school money for kin dergartens there was no way to main tain them. The new Kindergarten law, secured largely through the eff forts of the Tennessee state branch of the Congress for Mothers, does not add to school taxation and does not affect the basis of school population but simply gives cities and towns the right to supplement their grade work with adSquate training in the kin dergarten,

dro, when that town; was attacked. The General rushed out at the head of the repelling party. and the officer left in charge told me I had better come down from the top story to the ground floor, which was solidly built of stone.
 we had known that we were likely to be attacked any night, Sc I always put my kimono and my stockings on a certain chair just where could find them in a hurry. But that night I could find but one stocking. although hunted frantically. I was much more worried over it's disappearance than over the bullets raining around the house.
 You see, nothing much really has happened to me, after al1," Mrs, Fun ston ended, with true soldierly mod ;. esty. @fa
 "You never were sorry that you married a soldier? ?" interragated.
 Never" she said, with an infiee- ton at once quiet and dauntless. s"The army life is a splendid thing fer a man. get so tired of reading the untruths printed about it.
 For the young man, a year CT tive; in the army is the best possible pre- paration for the rest of his life. Often he is remade, physically. When see these little, pallid, stoop-shou1dered elevator boys in the city l can't help wishing they could have a year of military food and military exercise.
 ''In time of peace the army man enjoys wonderful comradeskiP with his wife and family. He is henas for luncheon, home for dinner, and real ly he and his wife are less apart than many couples in civil life. Then the army man has the chance to travel and to meet really big people. By that don't mean people who happen to have money, but people who are making the worlds history.
 "It's a wonderful service" the wid- ow of Gen. Funston ended with loyal conviction. And I think that it is up to American women, mothers of men, to make themselves also mothers of patriots who are willing to serve their country for at least a part of their lives and to think less of dollar get ting"

She is a. fighter, tee, the widow of Fighting Ered'' Funston,
 Her husband captured Aguina1do and led the Southern Department of the United States Army into Mexico. She is here to capture New York, or enough of it to enable her to lead her three little children into paths smooth CT than those which a pension opens.
 There is Frederic, who is IA and studying for West Peintj Barbara, who is g. and Betsy, the baby of 3. And they are all waiting out in Cali fornia for the mother who just now must earn the Heney fer their stock ings and gingerbread instead of mak- ing enc and mending the other, as she would like to de.
 Tine paeifist reader may be pictuF- ing Mrs. Funston as hard-faeed ara- azon. assure you she's nothing of the sort. She has the rega11y tall, broad-sheu1dered, deep-besemed fig ure which belongs to so many daugh- ters of the Golden Gate-she lived in San Francisco when Gen. Funston married her, after a record eourtshfp even in army circles. They were en- gagged as long as two whole days. She also has big blue eyes, that are both smiling and serene, wholesome col or and a particularly soft and pleas ant voice.
 "EEen when we are not at war I believe in universal military service" |" she continued. "I think that a year or two in the army for every Ameri- can boy would be our salvation as a country. And, know what army life is.''
 Then Mrs. Funston told me some things which prove that she does in deed know army life: In the IS years of her marriage the only time she did not accompany Gen. Funston to his kyarious posts was when he went into
