.SKAGWAY MAY ENDOW HOSPITAL C0T FOR IFS
 OWN BOYS IN ARMY

A special meeting of the Skagway chapter of the Women's Patriotic League will be called some time this week by the president, Mrs. B. A. Ross, for the purpose of aiding in the eQuipping of g bed in the Wash ington ward at Neuilly, France, hos pita' in which wounded Alaska boys will receive special care and atten- tion. t...
 Many Of the chapters throughout Alaska have been working along this line, and Fairbanks alone raised S12OO, an amount sufficient to maintain two cots and provide a surgeon and nurse for each. Mrs. Franklin K. Lane, wife of the sec retary of the interior, writing re- garding this matter says:
 Perhaps you in Alaska will be in terested in a hospital bed to be put in the Washington ward of the NeujIly hospital, just outside of Paris. We are trying to get several beds from the interior department here So that our men may feel the Home thought, and care for them when they are wounded. Each bed costs, for the year, $500, and we

are going to supply all the gar ments, sheets, etc., from our war work here. Each bed so endowed will have a brass nlate on it-ours will read Department of the h. terior.' If you start one I would suggest Alaska Woman's Patriotic League and if any of your men are wounded, they will have that bed in the Washington, D. c. ward"
 Mrs. J. F. A. Strong, wife of Alaska's governor, in writing to Mrs. Ross say:
 Among the many ideas and sug- gestions that l gleaned from my trip east l found the one suggest ed by Mrs. Franklin K. Lane to be the most practical for the first work of the leagues throughout Alaska. The raising of $500 by the women of the entire territory will not be a very arduous task"
 Further announcements of the Skagway meeting will be made from day 10 day. Skagway which has sent so liberally of her sons to the war, should do royalty in helping to equip a bed in which its boys will receive special care.

THE ALBUMEN WE NEED.
Foods That Produce lt and How They
 Compare With Meat.

FoooS nat FFolGc9 lt and no" lhey
 Compare With Meat.
 "Why do we eat meatT' asks Dr Daniel Claude in an article fin Nature, and he answers his question by saying, First to supply the albumen necessary to our bodies, then because meat Is a pleasant food, easily digested and as- sImilated."
 Many physiolOgists have estimated the quantity of albumen necessary to our systems and have given widely differing figures. but today 1t is gen. erally held that one grain per day per kilogram of body weight Is ample that is to say, that man weighing lG0 pounds actually needs only be- tween five and six ounces of albumen a day. Children and growing youths need more. Meat, however, Is not the only food that Is rich in Olbumen. A quarter of a Erie cheese. for instance, contains as much albumen as half pound of beefStCak. Lentils, peas and beans are from 20 to 2 per cent albu- men. which means that these vegeta- bles are worth actually more than steak and cost far less.
 According to Dr. Claude. our daily needs in the way of albumcn can be satisfied by any one of the following:

reading press accounts Of the ad-

that they were framed largely for In

OF separate peace.
Regarding the design to affect the
internal conditions OF Germany and

the striking differences OF tone In
the two notes. the German being al.
most dcfiantiy aggressive and the
Austrian compromising and insinuat-

NEW YORK May S.-Joe Wood
may now be considered a real ball
player. Today it makes no difference
whether he comes back as a pitcher.
He has arrived as counting asset to
big league baseball as an out-fe&der.
Wood has been out OF pitching har-
ness practically since the beginning
OF 1915 now, in spite of the fact that
his season in 1915 was a winner. He
tried once last season to come back
and failed dismally against the Yam
KEGS.
1t was something Of a Joke when
Lee Fohl started Wood OF as an out
fielder at the beginning of the season.
but see how the laugh has turned
around
He played his first game with
Cleveland in the outfield on April %,
was at bat once and pounded out q
hit. Since that time he has failed to
hit safely in only three games. Many
Of his blows have been for extra
bases and have been delivered in
pinches. Yesterday his brilliant
fielding. as well as his hitting, en-
abled Cleveland to defeat the White
Sox.

Cocoanut Oh Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash il
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkai. This dries the
scalp makes the hair brittle. and is vGy
harmful Just plain nulsi6ed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most exc
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibiy injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
latter, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruf and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and il
leaves it fine and silky, bright fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get muisified coooanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months
