WAYSIDE MUSINGS

Last Friday was big day for the
colored people Of Florida, for hun
dreds of them went out of the State
that day to take their places in Uncle
Sans camps. North-bound trains,
running in double sections, took on
these, recruits at every station, and
everywhere there were enthusiastic
crowds to see the embryo soldiers off ;.
The negro is highly emotional, and
this parting appealed strongly to this
side of his nature. In many cases
the women were historical, but as q
general thing the exodus was looked
upon more as the departure for pic
mic than as the beginning of a pos
sble tragedy. The men themselves
presented an interesting study. Their
favorite attitude was one of bravado,
and it was evident that they already
regarded themselves as heroes. Manv
of them appeared to have anything
but clear conception of what it's all
about, but there was a general air
that conveyed the impression that
they were ready to do whatever might
be required of them, and to do it the
best they could. Many of them,
doubtless, felt the STRINGS of really
patriotic impulses and showed an ex-
altation of Spirit that augurs i'll for
the Kaiser's followers if these black
warriors get chance at them. In
most cases they will make good SOL
diers, loyal, obedient and faithful to
death.

At this time the crops in Florida,
from one end of the State to the 9TH
or, never looked better. There have
been timely rains, and a good season
generally. Particularly is the corn
crop promising. 1t is said that last
years crop of corn exceeded in value
the citrus crop of the State, and this
years will be better, both as to yield
and acreage. The citrus crop appears
to be rather light. 1t should be

OLDT|MtR DIED
 LAST NIGHT AT
 A. [. [. HOSPITAL

At S:30 last night, at the Com mission hospital, Thomas A. McAvoy passed away as the result of blood poisoning. No arrangements have as yet been made for his funeral, but it is expected that the local igloo of Pioneers, of which order the de- ceased was a member, will attend to the funeral arrangements.
 The late Thomas McAvoy was em- ployed as car repairer in the yard of the Alaskan Engineering com mission and while at work on Octo- Der 22nd heavy coupling pin drop ped on his hand, painfully injuring his thumb He was sent to the hos pital immediately, where the injured member was dressed and he was able to resume duties shortly afterwards.
 In some way or other, the wound would appear to have got infected and gave him much trouble, necessi- tating return to the hospital later on, and it was then found that blood poisoning had set in, which resulted in his death last night. He was fifty-seven years of age at the time of death.
 Tom McAvoy was well and favor ably known throughout the Panama valley and had promising mining claims on Dome creek and Gold stream. It was rumored, some time ago, that very good prospects had been struck on ground he owned, and he sought employment in Ne mana for the purpose of making enough money to open up the ground next spring.
 Frank Rourke, secretary of the local igloo of Pioneers, wired to Henry Ray, the Fairbanks repre- sentative of the order, informing the igloo there of the death. The 1 funeral arrangements will be made ! by Nenana Igloo No. IT, Pioneers of Alaska and due notification made ; of the date set.

What Do You Make Of This, Watson?

-. is surprising and. in the light Of
the casualty list given out for publ

appears deliberately misleading. Here
is the statement published Saturday
under n Washington date line:
Deaths from all ~auses in Army

This does not include deaths of ma
rnes. The total number of deaths from

Influenza and Alcohol

No more harmful rumor has been
circulated in connection with the in
tiuenZa epidemic than the one to the
effect that whiskey is n preventative
or cure for the disease. The truth is.
the worst thing .ue can do is to
take alcohol when he is suffering
from influenza. and those who drink
intoxicants are much more liable to
contract the disease than those who
abstain from il.
Out here at the Government depot
there were 40G cases OF influenza.
Three deaths resulted. But none OF
the deaths was caused by the infiuen-
"a: all three OF them were caused by
alcohol ACKNOWLEDGEMENT about
because the patients heard that whis-
key was a good thing to take when
one had the disease. 1t is stated that
one Of the unfortunate victims sta
ed upon his death bed that he had
read an advertisement saying liquor
was being used in the treatment Of
the disease, and that he had taken
whiskey on that account. The person
or persons printing such advertise
ments are therefore little better than
murderers.
Whatever you think Of prohibition.
or whether you think anything Of 1t,
let alcohol alone-for the present at
least. Do not weaken the system by
using excessive stimulants when
there is such great danger. And II
you should be so unfortunate as to
contract the disease. let the physician
prescribe for you: do not get 1t into
your mind that you can cure your
self by drinking alcoholic beverages.
