To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed--to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary dis orders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following ad- vice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Nome readers.

Recent investigations of the influ- enZa are said to have developed the inteesting fact that curtaiments of sugar and other sweets incident tC the war were probably in a grea, degree responsible for the unusual violence of the epidemic, especially in the United States. Photographic information reaching Nome within the past few days, asserts that it thas been discovered that sugar honey and other saccharine materials if not an absolute preventative, are at least believed to be palliative and their free assimilation may, there fore. be looked upon as valuable means of warding off the disease or abating it's violence Whether or not the eating of sugar. or other sweets will cure the influenza is not definite ly determined but 1t has been discOv- cred that the germs cannot live in contact with saccharinous fluids. hence, there appears much reason to believe that free ssimiliation of sugar. candy or honey will tend to prevent the disease gaining a strong hold and may possibly render the individual practically immune.

Reports in circulation some time ago to the effect that a physician was on his way to Nome to assist in fighting the epidemic are verified by recent telegrams from St Michael stating that one Dr. Lamb. lately en- gagged in practice in the Ruby dIs- trict. was directed to come to Nome by Governor Riggs about the time the epidemic was at it's height here Dr Lamb is said to have started out for Nome but was taken down with pneumonia on the way and stopped at St. Michael. By the time he had recovered sufficiently to travel, the situation here was so much improved that he decided there was no need for hs services and remained at St. Michael.

Christmas day was celebrated with the same quietness that has been the outstanding characteristic of all Christmas days in Nome. Some slight hustle was observable during the earlier hours of Christmas eve but the general volume of business was apparently much smaller than during any similar period of our communal existence. Christmas day was so quiet in the downtown district that the melancholy wall of the mal- anute back on the tundra sounded like steam siren to the few ped estrians on Front Street. Everyone enjoyed themselves, however, and a considerable number of dinner part = ics were gwen during the afternoon and evening. Down at It Davis, the hoys had gala dinner with highly decorated souvenir menu cards to pack away in their trunks as mem- ontoes of their army experience and are said to have had an excellent time in spite of the quarantine preventing them visiting their Nome friends.

Following is the complete text of d radio message direct from Berlin serious street fighting occurring in the German capital Monday and Tues day, which was caught by the local radio station Christmas morning. The message apparently reached Nome by crossing over the North Pole and was heard with ease As will be noted, the message is incomplete, both the start and finish escaping the hearing of the local operator. It is also indicated that the first part deals with events of Dec. 24. By reading the message in connection with the Associated Press message from Copenhagen printed elsewhere in this issue. one may derive a clear idea of the scope of the disturbance and the attendant events. The mes sage reads as follows:
 upon castles and stables. Dur ing the fight part of the guard troops went over to the sailors This occasioned damage to the castle. After ten o'clock in the morning, when sailors had suffered consider able loss in killed and wounded, the firing ceased and parties began again to negotiate. About eleven o'clock an agreement was reached: the sail orS capitulated and withdrew, at first individually and then in small troops Loss of the sailors was given as 69 killed and wounded Military circles, however believe that in killed alone, there were SS at least. In the course of the morning numerous civilians collected near the castle, who toward 10 o'clock suddenly pressed forward against the Castle. Troops loyal to the government succeeded, rowever, in forcing the civilians out of the yard without shedding blood.
 It is officially communicated con- cerning yesterdays events and the at titude of the government troops: The interference of troops in the disturbances yesterday and today in Berlin served merely to protect the government of Ebert and Hasse aga inst tho mutinous sailors. True to the obligations which they have under taken for the government before en- tering Berlin, the troops have taken up position in order to prevent the success of the revolution being brought into question by unjustfied attacks of mutinous members of the navy acting in selfish reasons On the afternoon of 24 December com parative quiet appeared in outward appea rance of streets, members of different troop formations, especially of marines present in Berlin assem- bled in different buildings; these con- development of affairs not yet con- cluded.
