#tER SUGGESTS sRAGWAY
 LA, foR HOME ADDRESS

A telegram received today by J. c. Rathbone, U. S. military registrar from Skagway states that Americans registering in Dawson and vicinity and intending to go outside soon may find it advisable to give Skag- way as their home address, especial ly so if they desire to go to British Columbia ports, as on arrival at Skagway the local board then can handle the matter so that the men can leave by either American or Canadian boats. Letters received here from Vancouver in the last mail state that no Americans of military age are allowed to take Canadian boats for the south, the presumption being that an American once registered and in American ter rltory is a potential soldier and not privileged to go to any other coun- try without permission of the local board which has control of him.
 The telegram received today came from Charles Jeaneret, Jr., and is as follows:
 "Skagway, Alaska, Oct. 1, 1slS"- John c. Rathbone, Dawson, Y. T. Owing to my experience here, woulo suggest men under both man power acts leaving Dawson for States should have their home address transferred to Skagway, which wouid enable them to leave here either via Vancouver or direct to Seattle on permission of board here, ana their induction papers can be for- warded to address outside desired.

war Fund drive, June, 1917 had nsod tue methods suggested by division t1edoquarters the expense would have peeh several hundred dollars Instood ol this they employed a method of onelr own and the total cost of that campaign was $110. A little over s5o ooo was pledged and of this amonnt nearly $4s,000 was collected In tbo iasC war Fund drive, May. 1918. the expense was somewhat greater and we also used paid collector for three months. This expense was abundant y justified when one reflects that the county was asked for 5000 and se- cured over S5000O in pledges of which amount over $41, ,00O has been already pald.

And be secured in "extras'' about two thou- nsa ddollars more for the Red Cross than the membership fees demanded.
 The overwhelming proportion of the members necessarily represent indi- vlduals who sustain the organization py their annual dues, their contribu- tlons to the "War Drives" and their good will They have not the leisure TOT the direct work of production and relief The great bulk of this falls up- on our women. They do the sewing, the Knitting, make the surgical dress 1hgs, look after the refugee gar- ments' and manage the canteen. But there is one male organization which, as such, has been more than once of great service to the chapter-the R0- tarian club.
 HOW many women have given time to the direct work of production and relief? No one knows. It is suf- rc1ent to state that there have been enouh of them to enable our chapter to make a showing unsurpassed by any other chapter in the state and to meet any quota assigned to it.
 Our canteen has received so much of praise that it is hard to conceive that it's superior can exist and it has glorified the name of Pine Bluff both in our own nation and abroad. And we should be proud to know that while among the 705 chapters of the South western Division there are less than fifty whose Home Relief departments are ranked as perfect our Home Re- lief department was among the early ones to obtain this rating.
 It is also a pleasure to know that while the Red Cross is as exacting about the articles of wearing apparel.

SIMS, U. g.,
 THANKS TO NAVY
Admiral Emphasizes Truth That Brit. ish Grand Fleet Saed the World Help of American Troops.

London.-Admiral Sims, of the United States Navy, made singularly frank speech on Friday at a luncheon given by the English-speaking Union. He declared explicitly that the number of submarines operating against the merchant ships and transports coming in from America was only eight or nine on an average, sometimes run ming up to twelve or thirteen. The Americans sometimes thought that the American Navy had been doing the bulk, of the business That was not correct. There were about 5000 anti submarine craft operating day ana night and the American craft num- bered 160, or three per cent. Again, Americans seemed to regard it as a miracle of their navy that they had got a million and half troops here, in a few months, and had protected them on the way. "We didn't do that" said Admiral Sims. Great Britain did and escorted a half. We escort only one-third of the merchant vessels that come here"
 Grand Fleet Saved Day.
 He mentioned that when, in April 1917, America came into the war the Central Powers were winning with great rapidity. He paid an eloquent tribute to the British Navy eff a catastrophe should happen to the British Grand Fleet, there is no power on earth that can save us, for then

With :. few weeks this number had been ;,oreased to over thousand, and at .s. conclusion of the Christmas snr;veo the enrolment was approxi- noto]v five thousand.

 The first thing worthy of note is .ha determination of our chapted that ,be highest possible per centage of

We have been fortunate enough to receive gratis from the very sart,z through generous individuals and corporations all the room space we have needed. Knox Scull took the initiative in this matter by giving us for several months the use of his large building on West Second avenue. Next came the Citizens bank with the do- nation of suits in it's fine office build- ing. There followed the Presbyterian aud Lakeside churches.
 Mrs. T. J. Collier gives office room to the Home Relief department, which must be kept separate from other de- mrtments. The negro workers are established gratis at the Branch Nor nal school and their own Masonic temple.
 In addition to this numerous women in the city and county have opened their homes for the use of sewing and hitting circles.

YOUR HEALTH
Ulcer of the Stomach,
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, MD.

@. S.-Please describe ulcer OF
the stomach. Hoto long does 1t toke
to get lG9H2 Are there different
kinds, and t0hdt medicines ana diet
W0dld be HSefuR
This condition comes to these
who are anaemic, who work hard
and are poorly nourished, and occa-
sionally to those whose gastric juice
Is acid and corrosive, or who have
some kind Of corrosive juice In the
stomach, from whatever source.
1t may be a long time coming on,
and may last for years. There are
different kinds, in the sense that
there are ulcers Of different size, Of
different degrees of discharge and
absorption, and of different degrees
of poisoning and harmfulness in
other ways.
In most cases, the ulcer does not
eat through or perforate the entire
wall Of the stomach; for that would
almost certainly mean the occurrence
in such cases OF peritonitis, which
usually woHld quickly have a fatal
issue.
An accident which Is not unusual
with this disease and often is
serious or fatal is haemorrhage;
and as it is wont to come on sud
denly, without warning, IL must
always be anticipated and prepared
for, when ulcer is known or sus-
pected
The treatment is principally die
tetic, the diet being composed of
simple substances which may be
easily digested; meat and other
foods which are digested In the
stomach, with the exception of milk,
being excluded.
Medical treatment Is also useful In
some instances, especially such
medicines as may have an astrin~
gent and healing tendency for ex-
ample bismuth.
If the diagnosis is clearly made
out, an operation by a skilful sur.
geon will result in a cure OF the
ulcer, but this does not mean that
other ulcers may not develop.
There is usually but one ulcer, but
