Wants More Letters

Mrs. Lena V. O'Brien, 620 Fourth
avenue, Baraboo, has received the fol
lowing letter:
Camp Macarthur, Waco, Tex.
December IT, 1917.
Dear Cousin and All:
Received your letter of the 18th a
few days ago, which found me and
Clarence in the best of health. The
weather has been disagreeable the
last week, but as yet it isn't very cold,
only that it's misting most of the
time. This is what they call winter
1t isn't bad, but I'd take my winters
IN Wisconsin if l had my choice.
But, as the cOlors were calling, |
told my mother that it was/my place
10 answer the call, for my younger
brother has & family and the other is
too old and of better service at home,
so | enlisted that | might serve my
country. Of course 1 didn't like to
leave my mother and friends, but in
time of war there's lots of things that
aren't pleasant, but nevertheless they
have to be done and Obeyed.
Received the box you sent for Clar'
ence yesterday o. K. Everything was
fine and in frst-class condition., be-
sides it sure tasted good, for which
we both thank you very much.
Clarence's address is Truck Co. No.
5, 10th Supply Train, Camp MacAr-
thur, but l expect that in a day Or so
it will be Aux Remount Depot No.
324, Camp Macarthur, as his transfer
has gone through.
I'm doing guard duty at the Re-
mount now. It's night work, but en-
joy it.
We have player piano now, which
the boys here at the Remount Clipped
in and bought. 1t sure is dandy and
makes things seem more home-like.
Say, Lena, if anyone wants to write
to either of us you can give them our
address, for we enjoy receiving mail
from anyone from home.
Am sending you.a picture Of myself
and the two horses I had while | was
on riding duty.
Will close for this time, hoping to
hear from you soon
l remain your cousin,
ROLLA E. BRAUN.

Kidney L)isOr der
(BY DR.. v. M. PIERCE. }

(BY DR.. Y. NJ. FIERCE
s'The most simple methods are usually
the most effective ones when treating
any disorder of the human system"
The mere drinking a cup of hot water
each morning, plenty of pure water all
day, and a little Anuric before every
neal has been found the most effective
means of overcoming kidney trouble.
Death would occur if the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
boisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache, de-
pressions, aches, pains, heaviness, drow-
siness, irritability, headaches, chllllness,
rheumatic twinges, swollen joints, govt
Since it is such a simple matter to
step into your favorite drug store and
obtain Anuric, as every druggist dis
oenses it, anyone who earnestly desires
10 regain health and new life will waste
40 time in beginning this treatment.

Majority Leader Kitchin Says Ability to Pay
 Is Standard for
 New War Taxes.
WAR. IS FOR DEMOCRACY
Expenses Should Be Met by Democratic Tax to Put Burden Where
 It Should Be.

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. Tax burdens of the poor must not be materially increased, declares Major ity Leader Kitchin, chairman of the House ways and means committee, in raising the additional $5,00O, ,000,- 900 required to carry on the war until July 1, 1918.
 Ability to pay should be the only standard upon which the tax should be assessed, Kitchin will insist, and he believes the taxes on necessar- ies already contemplated place about as large a burden on the poor man as he can stand. The first and largest advances, he urges, should be made therefore in income and ex- cess profits taxes.
 This is war for democracy we insist, and hence it's expenses should be met by democratic tax Kitchin says. "The only possible way to levy democratic tax is to base it strictly upon ability to pay.
 We are taking young men of mill tary age into the army without con sulting their wishes and asking them to make the greatest sacrifices. Of tentimes they will be forced to give up their businesses and always theil earning capacities for their govern ment. Then in addition to that, we force them to risk their lives. When

GARDENS DOING WELL

DOUGLAS, Aug 9.-Gardens that only ten days ago wore a sort of general debility look, are now com ing on with a rapidity that causes their owners to get up early to view with admiration and wonder the transition from pale and sickly yell low to lusty green. In some gar dens radishes and lettuce planted four months ago never grew any un- til within the past week.

ISLANDERS ARE WANTED FOR RESPONSIBLE POSITIONS
 OUT TO THE WESTWARD

DOUGLAS, Aug 9.-H may be be- cause Islanders, residents of Doug las and Treadwell, are more effic- tent than residents of other parts of the Territory and it may be that their inherent honesty roots deeper than that of others, but the fact remains that when a good man, one who can deliver the goods, is want ed in some Western Alaska town, the Island is invariably called upon to supply him.
 Yesterday a cable came from Cor. dova requesting that Dave Pelo, for long time head planer at the James sawmill, be dispatched to take position in sawmill there of which Lou Miller, former millwright of the James concern, is now in charge. Pelo left on the Northwest ern within an hour or so of the time he received the cable.
 James Hawthorne, experienced meat cutter, leaves on the next westward bound boat to accept a position in Seward In fact, it seems that nearly all the responsi- ble positions on the west coast of Alaska are filled by former Island CTS. Were it not that there are scores of good men left to man the ship of trade and commerce here, the steady drafting for good men for the westward would be viewed with alarm. As it is, both Doug las and Treadwell are pleased to contribute to the growth. and pros perity of the westward towns and cities.

RENEWING FOUNDATION

DOUGLAS. Aug. 9. - Cabins in which men are born, in certain To- calities, be in a good state of pres ervation after 100 years or more. but great men who wish to preserve their birth cabins to posterity had better locate them some place else than in this portion of Alaska where the dampness plays havoc with wooden buildings within a few years
 P. H. Fox, of Douglas, can certify to the foregoing. Noticing one side of his big store building settling rapidly, he started Investigating yes terday with the result that the foun- dation was found to have almost completely routed away. It has only been 15 years since it was put ill

A few POINTS
ON ECONOMY

II is during my own marketing time
that ] get the real evidence OF the un-
preparedness OF the busy home woman
so far as the increase in cost of food
stuffs is concerned.
Fortunately there are hundreds OF
women who have read their trade pa
Ders, the housekeeping and cookery
magazines and Home Managers Page
i'm the newspapers, and who knew
that this increase was about 10 come.
These women are in a position 10 buy,
cook and serve food wisely.
To the wiman who has not had ac-
cess to these helps the kitchen pocket
book begins to take on an appalling
resemblance TO an all-consuming mon
ster
Housewives Must Figure.
The high cost problem is the house
, wifo's. The problem simply stated is
this-"How shall / keep my food ex-
penditure I'm its proper proportionate
placer" Thirty to forty per cent. Of
the family income should cover the
expenditure for food. That is Of an
income OF $3.50. $45 a month may be
spent for food. This includes all
lunches and meals purchased outside
the home.
The average American family Of four
can live we'll on this sum, thereby saw
ing the other half to add TO the saving
or investment account. It behooves
every housewife 20 study tho ways of
thrift nowadays and that means study
OF the market conditions and of quality
foods. Tho old sayings OTIS an ill-wind
that blows nobody good comes to my
mind. The present situation is the most
potent factor possible 20 make women
think when they buy and prepare foods.
Because of it we will be more careful
not 20 have lcft-overs. We will take
greater care Of the food after IL gets
into the home.
incidentally, meat and rice seem TO
be about the only foods that have not
gone up in this recent price agitation.
Though tho retail price of meat may
have varied somewhat, tho packers have
not raised the price of meat for three
wears. The large commercial producer
has no control over the producer Of raw
material. They merely act as solicitors,
preservers and distributors of the prod
ucts Of tho world. If there is a short
acc in the supply Of raw material. tho
commercial producer Is caught tho same
as the rest.

WOMAN URGES HIGH
STANDARD IN FILMS

Miss Mary Gray Peck. representa-
tive OF the motion picture depart
ment Of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs. addressed a meeting
at the New Century Club yesterday
afternoon. She is studying and dis

under the National Committee OF
Films for Young People. and previous
60 her going into this work she was
professor IN English in the University
OF Minnesota. Miss Pecks audience
yesterday was small owing to the
storm. She presented many inter-
esting and splendid ideas concerning
the motion picture question. and
urged the unfolding OF the highest
standards in Aim plays. Members of
the New Century Club recently adopt
ed resolutions favoring motion pic
turo censorship and interest on the
subject Is keen and is being widely
manifested.
