A government bulletin says:
The town Of Circle is one Of The oldest
white settlements on the Yukon. It was located
before the surveyor had determined that the
town was not on the Arctic Circle, as supposed,
but 90 miles south Of it. Lest The nearness of
the Arctic Circle be regarded az indicative Of
ice and snow, it should be noted that there are
neither glaciers nor permanent snow in the Yu-

efforts.
1t is necessary for the government to keep
alive the procedures which invite Germany to a
reconsideration of plans and changing OF am
billions. This the president is doing by addresses
to congress, but Americans cannot afford to de-
ceive themselves by the expectation that this is
the method by which the war will be ended.
American plans must go ahead. backed by un-
compromising determination, if there were
no other way to get peace except by victory; that
the only end of war will be found by success with
arms.
The idea that there is an easier way will pro-
duce faccidity. 1t will produce wavering and in
decision 1t will pull the blow when it must go
with all the force of the nation behind it. What
Mr. Wilson is trying to accomplish automatically
has no present bearing upon American effort.
So far as the proper American state of mind
is concerned the time of diplomacy has passed
and the critical test of strength has come. The
nation cannot stop to argue or pause to hope. 1t
is hurrying to get into position and land it's blow,
and that idea and that idea alone must prevail.

The Grand Jury Investigation

Alleged irregularities in the bills paid to DR.
w. G. Huffman and DR.. E. 4. Mendenhall for the
treatment of smallpox patients should be thor
oughly investigated by the grand jury.
DR.. Huffman admits his guilt and has made
restitution of $242. He says he was too frail to
withstand the temptation of helping himself to
the peoples money when the opportunity came
his way.
The return of the money! to the city treasury
does not remove the charge against the doctor.
This is matter for the grand jury to decide.
1t is exceedingly reprehensible for physic-
ian to make unnecessary visits on patient to
mulct him for money. A sick man is at the
mercy of his physician. He has confidence in
his judgment. If a physician violates sick
mans faith and deliberately sets out to rob him,
he is committing wrong that has no extenuat-
ing circumstances.
Dr.. Huffman practiced this kind of dis
honesty on the city's patients. He made calls
that were not needed. He even included charges
for visits that never were made.
DR.. Mendenha denies that he is guilty of
wrong doing. The grand jury must ascertain
his innocence or guilt. City officials say their
investigation shows that he made unnecessary
calls and in instances prolonged the quarantine
to lengthen the time he could bleed the city.

| Why Chilly Weather

Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of

Mr.. Hans Kohl:
Not long ago you were asked by

Germans, and why you would not
have them called Huns" You not

he could not make living in the land

things about the country of his home
and the country that makes it possible
for him to live?
Please answer these things, and If
you cannot alone, get some other dear

you can't help the United States, the
