Women Give Out

Housework is hard enough when healthy. Every Skagway woman who is having backache, blue and nervous spells, dizzy headaches and kidney or bladder troubles, should be glad to heed this grateful wo- mans experience:
 Mrs. P. Frohwerk, 6S7 York st., Portland, Ore, says: My kidneys acted too often and my feet and ankles swel7ed. I had to go to the hospital and the doctor said I had uraemic poisoning. l suffered ter riblv with sharp pains in the small of mT back. When I returned I still suffered with pains in my back. Later l was again taken to the hospital and I can't describe how l suffered. All that spring, af- ter I came home, had that trouble and finally a nurse told me tc try Doan's Kidney Pills. I'm glad I did for they cured me of every sign of kidney complaint.
 WELL EVER SINCE
 Mrs. Frohwerk gave the above statement November 13, 1915 and on May 22, 1917 she added: "Dosn's Kidney Pills saved my life when they cured me of kidney trourle. I have been strong and we'll ever since"

WHY WE ARE SHORT OF COAL
We note that one witness before d

We note that one witness before a
committee in Washington, placed the
blame for the coal shortage where
we believe it belongs.
He said that untinely advice not
to buy coal last summer, when it
could be had, and when the roads
could move it, on the ground that
it would be cheaper when the govern
ment got the control, was responsible
for much of the present shortage.
There can be no doubt that this
is true. Some of the coal people, in
anticipation of a probable shortage,
were inclined to raise their prices,
and some of the government. agents
were entirely too sure of their own
wisdom and power, when they ad-
vised the people to hold off for lower.
prices. OF course there are other
causes that contribute to make the
situation, but really this is the main
cause.

cause.

We note that in some Of the army
camps, both north and south, few
cases of spinal meningitis have been
reported. Possibly some cases out
side the camps also are reported. So
far we have heard of none here or
near here, but the writer experienced
living in town, in which an epide-
mic of spinal meningitis ragged for
several weeks, during the winter of
1897-1898.
The malady was peculiarly fatal
at that time, some fifty deaths, or
one percent of the population within
a few weeks, and of all the cases re-
ported, only one recovered.
There was at that time a brigade
of soldiers (of the Spanish-American
war period) quartered near the
town, and some of these died also.
The weather that winter was much
like the present winter, heavy
snow, and long continued cold, not
so long however, as the present win
ter. To the mind of the writer, the
present conditions are so nearly the
same, that it is with dread that we
contemplate the possibility of an
ther such epidemic.
At that time the doctors seemed
utterly ignorant as to the cause or
treatment of the disease, and there
seemed to be no cure Since then
we have seen reported cures, and pre-
ventions, but more than one form of
meningitis is reported Just what is
now known of it, we can not say,
but we shall always feel wholesome
fear of SO fatal a malady.

BOYS HELD IN CAMP.

The order went out at Camp Cor

that men were not to be allowed to

Now and then a sort of fairy

into a town and proceeds to work
miracles of the kind that money is
always capable of performing. He
builds mill or factory, develops a

brings a new railroad or puts on a

role.
81 have always wanted. and I have
always cared for, the strong role
one that tells of real things in hu-
man life. and gives real play to the
emotions. My sympathies are with
the girl who has to struggle, and
struggle hard. But it is seldom that
such a role is worthily presented.
There are many Mary Garvins in
the world, it is unfortunate to ad-
mit-girls who struggle, and who are
not only attacked in their physical
we'll being, but also whose hearts are
wrenched, and whose minds are
strained by the conduct of men who
seek to destroy them. 1t requires a
wonderful play to present such a
