 SAVING ESSENTIAL FOODS

From the rain and wind-swept DOT tion of the Pan Handle, or Southeast ern Alaska, coast towns out to the Westward, the frozen shores of the Bering sea country, and the warm and genial centers of the great Tan ana valley, in Interior Alaska, come most encouraging reports of the great work being done in the matter of say ing essential foods. The general ring Of these reports is We are for our country; first, last and always" This quotation is from our administrator at Rampant, Alaska, where is located a government experimental station, and is indicative of the cooperation being given by consumers of food in Alaska.

ANCL0-RUSS|A N
 HOSPITAL UNIT
 RETURNS HOME

TOKYO, May (by aiD.-Includ. ing the last British war relief work eis to leave Russia, the Anglo-Rus- sian field unit hospital unit, with Lady Muriel Paget at it's head, a party of forty.five British subjects, war work CTS, consular officials and civilians, have arrived in Tokio and Yokohama on their way home.
 Lady Muriel Paget is the represen- tative of the London committee of the Anglo-Russian hospital unit, which is maintained by subscriptions from Brit ish colonies. It is one of the organ izations which answered the call of the Russian Red Cross in 1915, and after two years of active work from Archangel south, into Galicia and Rumania, ended up at Odessa, where the party waited two months, hoping to establish a hospital for some fac tion which would fight the Germans.
 ''We remained in Russia as long as our unit could render aid," said Lady Paget. However, when peace was declared with Germany, when the fighting stopped and our supplies were cut off, there was nothing to do but leave" Lady Paget went to Rus sia as the representative of the com mittee in 1915 to replace Lady Sibyl Grey, daughter of Sir Edward Grey, who had been wounded.
 During the winter of 1916 the hos pital workers went south into Galicia and spent the winter months in the Carpathians, near Kirlibaba At the time of the final Russian offensive the unit was told to take part, but the drive ended too soon, and the unit went to Kamenetz Podolsk, the cap- ital of the government of Podolia, where it was the only Red Cross hos pital in the city, and where under great difficulty it's work of relief was carried out.
 In ten days 10000 wounded from the retreat from Galicia were cared for. The Red Cross contingent then went into Rumania, to Dorchoi. The work to be done with the armies de- creased and at the same time it be- came impossible to obtain men and supplies from England

NATIVES OF ALASKA ARE
 USING FOOD SUBSTITUTES

The natives of Southeastern Alaska are readily learning to use the various substitutes under the instruction of Mrs. David Waggoner, who is working in connection with the home econom- ics division of the Alaska federal food administration. All over the territory the natives evince a willingness to, and do to a large extent, save the foods needed for shipment to France. Their greatest trouble has been lack of a knowledge with reference to cooking cereals; however they are making ev- cry effort to learn, and are accom- plishing much. In some of the will lages pledge campaigns have been successfully conducted. The Alaska natives have conserved a large amount of sugar, a commodity they have heretofore always consumed in goodly quantities.

TWO SENATORS SOLVE
 AN OLD HORSE MYSTERY

WASHINGTON, June 11.-For fifty years Senator J. K. Ransdell of Louis jana has been looking for the fellow who stole his fathers horse.
 It wsa during the civil war. A raid ing party of federal soldiers arrived at the Ransdell plantation, near Alex. andria, and one of the boys in blue mounted that spirited horse and rode him away-as far as the gate. There the horse threw him off and broke his leg. Another Yankee caught the horse and led it away.
 The other day Senator Ransdell was discussing the war days with Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
 T was with the Tanks around about Alexandria, and-'.
 Here Senator Nelson was inter- rupted.
 Pardon me, but did you steal my fathers horse?"
 No, but I knew the fellow who did It happened like this--." And Sen. ator Nelson related the circumstances exactly.
 But Senator Ransden has given up the search for the fellow with the broken leg. His colleague from the North settled that quest. The advan turous youth who rode the horse as far as the gate has gone to the Big Reunion, full of years and dignity.

NURSING SERVICES IN
COUNTRY SAVE BABIES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Rural dis
tricts must have nursing services, the
Children's Bureau finds, if infant NOR
tality in remote regions is to be re-
duced and human life conserved at
this time when the nations human re-
sources are being wasted by war
Results of the bureaus first detailed
study of the care available for babies
and mothers in rural communities
were made public to-day, showing that
one infant in every twenty-five Of the
section observed failed to survive, or
that four per cent Of all children die
before they reach the age of twelve
months. \
The bureaus first survey was com
pleted in a prosperous county of
southern Kansas, bordering 0Okla-
homa. Similar studies are in progress
in Wisconsin and North Carolina. The
population in the Kansas. county is
widely scattered, but no home is more
than twenty miles from doctor. and
telephones and good roads minimize
the disadvantages of great distances.
In spite of these favorable circum-
stances, the report records that two
thirds of the mothers had no medical
care before their children were born,
and more than one-third had no visit
from physician after the day Of the
birth. Four-fifths OF the wives Of
farmers had to work for large farm
crews at the time when they especial
w needed to conserve all their
strength.
While the existing death rate is COM
paratively low for this county, the
report says: "The existing rate
should not be regarded with compla-
cency, for, as Sir Arthur Newholme
says. if babies were born and well
cared for. their mortality would be
negligible In other words, there is
Nc inherent reason why babies should
die in a community which has all the
advantages possa ssed by this county

standards of living, high level of in
teITgence about matters Of health ana
means wherewith to provide for its

an other states where surveys are

infant deaths are striking index,
press with a severity unknown in
this Kansas county
Nurses, doctors, hospitals and con
ference centers, making available to
all mothers and babies in rural coun-
ties adequate medical and nursing
care. are declared essential by the
bureau. The Kansas county has made
progress carrying out certain Of the
suggestions, but the next step, says
the report, may we'll be establishment

parts Of the county,

RUSSIAN CONDITIONS
IN A CHAOTIC STATE

PETROGRAD, Jan 12-The Birshe-
vaya vyedoamsti INDUCES in sarcastic
raillery at the prevailing conditions
By propounding number of problems
ii the form of arithmetical exercises.
Here is one of the problems:
IN tho city of A the public prose-
cutor, B, arrested the suspicious in
dividual C. On the following day the
Bolshevild d arrested the prosecutor,
for which reason D was in turn ar
rested by the temporary government
commissioner e. Thereupon f, the
chairman of Of the revolutionary com
mittee, arrested e. How far down the
alphabet will the arrests reach in "a
hours, and how long will it be before
persons whose names begin with x
ard z are arrested?"
Another is "a Bolsheviki dele
gate departs from the city of A to at
tend a democratic conference. A
Mensheviki delegate leaves the city B
at the same time to attend the same
conference. When will these delegates
start pulling each others hair and
how many resolutions will they pro
pose ?"
Following are others of the satirical
propositions prcpounded:
"An intarnationalist writes for a
Newspaper anc receives 1000 roubis"
f,r each aricle. Pow many deliberate
" false reasons for an immediate
peace must be present, if every sucn
reason is paid for at the rate of five

crosses at the rate of 1923 resolutions

Which of the warlike masses will first
reach its goal?"
There are 5000 casks Of brandy in
the depot at A, and the city's garrison
has 10000 troops, all teetotalers. How
long will it take the tee-totallers to
drink up all the liquor, and how long
will be after that before the munich
pality decides to destroy all alcoholic
drinks?"

sons sending in a correct solution will
