MOTHER AND SONS
 CUT 40 CORDS WOOD

This afternoon White Pass train pulled down Broadway with four large carloads of fire wood
 Now this is not an uncommon event but on this occasion 1t semes worthy of mention.
 The four cars of wood represent forty cords of wood and that rep resents the combined work of Mrs. c, c. Cartwrgiht and her five little boys, the eldest of whom si not fifteen years old, who during their stay on the Cartwright homestead this summer cut and carried to the White Pass railroad and corded up the forty cords mentioned This wood was cut on the side of the mountain and some of It was from very large trees and shows what Al aska boys, assisted by determined mother can do.
 The wood was purchased by Fore man and Dedman of the Golden North hotel and is prime wood.

A FORBIDDEN TOPIC

In books of etiquette you Will find, in the chapter pertaining to conversation, that it is always con sidered ill-bred to bring Up the topic of bad health or disease of any kind, but judging from the frequency with which this topic si dragged into general conversation, it seems that forbidden topics, like forbidden fruit, prove most tempt ing. Many people seem to find in tense satisfaction i ndescribing their various ailments.
 I believe this is especially true of victims of Ia grippe, probably be- cause this disease is said to have a weakening effect on the mental powers. If only one preson in this country had ever suffered from this disease it might prove both in teresting and beneficial to physi- clans end friends to hear a minute description of it, from the first shiver that ran races Up and down the spinal column, down to the final twinge. After hearing it re peated many times, however, with all the variations this disease is capable of adding to each new victim, it becomes very monotonous in fact, there is only one thing wor' than having la grippe yourself, and that is hearing some other person describe his attack Of the same.
 I wish that every person could, Or would, tkae for their motto the following stanza that appeared in one Of our best magazines a few years ago:
 "Talk health; the dreary, never
 changing tale
 Of mortal maladies is worn and
 stale.
 You cannot charm, or interest, or
 please,
 By harping on that wornout chord,
 disease.
 Say you are well, or al is well with
 you,
 And God will hear your words and
 make them true" Ladies World, 1908.

AN OPEN LETTER

To the Editor of the Daily Alaskan
 I read in your issue of the 7th of November about club being formed of subscribers to news papers and We think there is good field here for club of non subscriber telephone users or people who make it a practice Of annoying their ngeihbors by using their telephones.
 This club could also have quite a nice list of members and it could begin with the names of some of the business men and others who are getting good salaries and can we'll afford to have a phone for their own use. We have only re- gently lost several paying subscrib- CTS by such actions and if it is not stopped we will be compelled to publish the names Of parties using prones continuously who are not subscribers.

SHOE PRICES EXPLAINED.
John O'Connor, of Chicago Gives the
Following Information on
Governments Ruling Es-
tablishing Shoe Prices.

Offsetting the big splash that all
Chicago newspapers gave to the re-
cent government ruling establishing
a maximum of $12, and to overcome
the false impression that most of
the shoe consuming public got, John
.O'Connor, of Chicago, has made the
following comments on the situation:
ION October 2, Washington issu-
ed regulation affecting the shoe in
dustry. Unfortunately newspapers
misconstrued the meaning of this
regulation, and Enormously interpret
ed ii to the people. 1t was reported
that on and after October 10, shoes
were to be retailed at a minimum
price of So, and a maximum price of
$12. This regulation, however, will
affect only the manufacturers of
shoeh, and make it necessary for
them to manufacture shoes in COM
pliance with this order on and after
that date.
Accordingly, the present stocks Of
shoes held by national retail shoe
merchants will not be influenced by
this new government ruling at this
time Shoe manufacturers are now
engaged in the manufacture of spring
shoes, 50 per cent OF which are low
shoes and which rarely sell for more
than $12. Accordingly, this new
order will not be felt by the public
until the fall of 1919.
1.-THE papers also stated that the
public would receive almost the
same grade of material and work
manship for $12 for which they
heretofore paid SIS and $50. This
assertion casts undue reflection on
the general shoe business, implying
that there may be profiteering in the
present retail sale of shoes.
1.-THE public should know that shoe
retailers are realizing exactly the
same normal legitimate margin of
profit today on the sale of shoes that
they realized before the outbreak Of
the world war. The retail profit in
most instances has been even less
than prior to the war. The excessive
price of raw material and the scarcity
Of labor is accountable for the pre-
sent high retail price of shoes.
"The people should not be led to
believe that they can soon be able to
purchase for $12 the same quality
and workmanship that they are nov
buying for SIS and $40. 1t is an i'm
possibility, commercially or mechan-
ically. The SIS and $40 shoes will
vanish from the market

The Papyrus Plant

In the story told by Mrs. Williams.
mention is made of papyrus, which
was called 'papu" In the time when
the mummy of her story lived. From
that word came the Greek "papuros"
and our English word paper" The
historian Herodotus called it ''bublos"
and from this the old Greeks got a
word "biblion," meaning book, which
we have carried on into our word
"Bible." Go to a good dictionary and
you will find long list of words be-
ginning with "biblio" and they are all
connected with books.

symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover

develop pneumonia, or inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish influenza is
identical with the epidemics of inf1uen-
"a of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
illzed world. Three years later there
was another flare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide.

How can Spanish influenza" be rec
ognixed7
There Is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of Spanish infiu-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand, recognition is easy where
there is group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics of influenza
may occur at any season Of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely In Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does influenza.
"In most cases person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
"In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or con
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
of cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
