THE PRICE YOU PAY

T know I ought to take treatm ent; [ have been running down for the last year or two. I am all Jagged out, have no ambition, worry from morn ing till night, don't care whether I am dead or alive have lost weight and cannot do the same work I used to do some years ago. If l were as strong as I was, I could earn good good specialist, but I cannot afford money. I know l ought to treat with to pay for the treatment"
 You are paying for it NOW my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get it.
 Let me tell you why.
 Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing. good manager never spends more than his interest.
 Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease. .l
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can not work and earn what you used to. Do you see the point? You are draw ing on your capital-which is your health-by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now you earn about half of what you used to get.
 To make two, three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all your heart and soul in your work.
 These happy days are gone.
 You now barely make living and find it almost beyond your strength. And you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are gong to lose is beyond estimation.
 The dollar you MIGHT earn, but don't, is an actual expense to you. You spend it. And what do you get for it. Worry, anxiety, despondency, want and deprivation for your family.
 The dollar you take out of your pocket and spend for treatment with an experienced specialist is not an expense. It is an investment. And in return you get increased working ability, higher wages. health and hap piness at home.
 Which will you choose?
 Can you hesitate?

"WelI, Here Goes"

"WelI, Here GOeS.'
 But you surely aren't going to make me wait for your story until I tell you mine," I asked, a note of pre- tended pleading in my voice.
 "I suppose that would be refined cruelty" he said, smiling. Well here goes; but I warn you it isn't 8 particularly pretty story
 l sat up, every nerve thrilling. At last was to hear the rest of the drama staged at the inn.
 What was the last thing you knew? ?" he asked, and l realized with a little feeling of resentment that, manlike he did not intend to waste any words on things I already knew. AS for me, I would have been glad to hear the whole story retold.
 Did He Throw It?"
 1T felt mysalf losing consciousness, I replied, and saw the man called Ernest starting toward me"
 "Ah, yes," he interrupted, a trou bled look coming into his eyes. You were wounded when l gave you the task of covering Ernest with that automatic, and I never knew it. Why didn't you tell me?'
 Does it matter now?" I asked quietly.
 "No-o, I suppose not he admitted mot as long as you're safe and sound. And I never could have man. aged the other affair without you on hand to take care of Ernest. Did you see anything that happened at the windmill?"
 Not a thing I returned. "I heard an explosion and as I fell to the ground I must have pressed the trig- ger of the automatic, for I heard it go off and then I knew nothing more. Did Otto succeed in blowing up the wireless plant?"
 lotto only succeeded in blowing himself to his appointed place among the fames,'' the officer answered grimly. After he had sMot you--and remember, I had no idea that his aim had been so good until after l picked you up-he rushed back into the wire lessed windmill and as I got almost to the entrance he rushed out again with some internal smoking contriv- ance in his hand. I believe he thought he could put me out of commission, rescue Ernest, and then destroy the wireless at his leisure.'
 He stopped, evidently in reminis- cent though of Otto's desperation. could not restrain my ,impatience.
 Did he throw it at you?" I asked breathlessly.

The Doctor Away From Tome
 When Most Needed.

People are often very much dis appointed to find that their family physician IS away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like pain in the stomach and bowels, collie and diarrhoea require prompt treatment, and have in many instances proven fatal before medicine could be procured or a physician summon ed. The right way is to keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician can prescribe a better medicine for the diseases. By having it in the house you escape much pain and suffering and all risk. Buy it now; it may save life. Adv.

DO YOUR PART

During the period of war there should be no idlers at home or abroad, but every man, woman and child should do their part faithfully and we'll.
 In the United States there are over 1OO,OOO,OOO people and in this great army of people not one should fail to do his or her part in helping to win this war against Prussianism.
 In some instances people seem at a loss to know what to do. but it does not seem to us that anyone should be at a loss to know what to do while so much help is needed in every line. There are ships and airplanes to be builded, fields and gardens to be planted, culti- vated and marketed.
 With the thousands of sol diers on the battle front, who must be supplied with the essen- tials to fight and eat, there is plenty for everybody to do.
 All can GO something to help. If not in the service we can be selfsupporting and perhaps raise a little more than Wecan consume and thus help some one who did not raise quite enough.
 We can practice economy in many ways, give up some luxuries and live and dress more plain and simple.
 Holy writ tells us that, 'The idler shall not eat the bread of the laborer." and to our way of now is gesa time to put in practice this ancient saying.
 It is a foregone conclusion that if we win this war everyone must do tEeir utmost in helping in every possible way. Let's all get busy.

Harvest of Bootleggers.

Friday of last week was Sheriff Newman's busy day taking in bootleggers. Early that morning he picked up a man at HOlbrOOk who dropped off a freight train with a suit case filled with liquor. The man objected seriously to be- ing arrested, and when he caught the sheriff off his guard, struck him a vicious blow in the face. He is sorry now that he tried it as he is slowly recovering from the trimming he got at the hands of Newman.
 A few hours later the sheriff picked up another violator who had just arrived in Holbrook from Springerville with a stock of goods. He is resting in jail.
 In the afternoon Newman got on the trail of an automobile that was supposed to be loaded with contraband,- He overlook the car with the two men occupants near Chevelon. A search of the car disclosed IS cases of liquor. They were anxious to plead guilty at once, and Judge Sapp handed them the new prescription of six months in jail and a fine of $500 each. .-WinslOW Mail.

When Peace Comes.

Some day peace will come.
 Thousands-millions of men will be thrown back again into civil life. Consider the vastness of the readjustment that will be neces- sary. Look back at the period of reconstruction after our own Civil War. Prepare for this new per iod of reconstruction. The day of reckoning is bound to come. Begin to save now. Thrift is the need of the present, the hope of the future, Liberty Loan Bonds, War Savings, the safest securities in the world, are a wise provision for the day peace comes.-Tomb- stone Epitaph.

"Currew Must Not

St. Johns has a curfeW law which was established some few months ago, and for a number of months the new broom" swept clean, but of late we do not hear the bell any more. but we do see the 'kiddies' upon the street at all hours of the night and many of them below the age set.
 Several times of late we have heard gun-shots at night from some gun in the hands of a night reveller.
 One night this week Deputy Sheriff Johnson ''pinched" a bunch for shooting, the case taken up and tried and the parties were let loose without fine or punishment. We say, why a curfew.law if it is not kept, and the officers backed up when they are trying to serve the people as best they can. We howl like h. if the officers don't do their duty, then why not back them when they do. We should put up or shut up.

Must Discontinue Use of Wheat

The Food Administration re- quests that all the people of the United States shall cease the use of wheat flour during the next 90 days. As we of the United States have all kinds of substitutes for wheat, there should be little hard, ship in discontinuing the use of wheat. All kinds of recipes are to be had for the making of war breads and substitutes, and their use will be rather beneficial in stead of injurious. Corn meal, oat meal and potatoes are really worth more as food than wheat and our people will be richer and healthier by their use at the end of the 90-day period. Tom bstone Epitaph,

It is leaking out at Berlin that the German general staff is 'tak- ing the American army very seri- ously, and is determined to force a decision in France before any more United States soldiers are landed there" They probably will take the Americans more seriously" when three or four millions get into the fight, and the starry flag begins to move over Prussian soil.

Banks and Newspapers.

There are two classes of busi- ness men who give their time and equipment unstintingly to the government without hope of financial return = bankers and newspapermen.
 During the Liberty Loan drive every bank and every newspaper turns it's entire equipment over to the service of the government without money and withoutprice.
 The newspapers fusnish the publicity without which no bond issue of sush magnitude could be fioated in such short time and the banks furnish the skilled help and machinery for handling the mil lions of subscriptions, keeping books on deferred payments, car rying accounts, etc., and later is- suing the bonds.
 The bankers and newspapers deserve great credit for no other line of industry gives it's services absolutely free of charge. The Manufacturer.

Wheat Saved by Women for Many Years Against Pos sible Famine Is Turn ed Over to Gov
 eTnment.
Ell Paso Morning Times.

Fl PaSo Morning Times.
 One of the most interesting phases of the food situation was broue ht to El Paso by Bishop P |. R. Hurst, who has just returned from Salt Lake City, where he attended a Mormon church busi- ness meeting. Wheat saved by the Relief society women of the Mormon church since 1876 has been turned oyer to the govern ment for use. According to the last report of the Relief Society, there was on hand at the time of the spring April conference 2O5, = 518 bushels, greater part of this, about 5,305, BOT pounds, in the presiding bishops storehouse and some 10000 bushels stored at Richfeld. Utah.
 The price given for the wheat will be fixed by the government. The money will be put in banks by the various organizations and re-invested after the coming har- vest so that the terms of the trust given the women of the church will be fully complied with. the wheat fund being a trust fund established by President Brigham Young against days of famine and for the relief of the poor. The government has given it's guarantee that the wheat shall be replaced with the coming har vest.
 The gathering of the wheat by the women of the church has pro. bably been one of the most unique movements among modern peo- pie. Back of the entire move. ment stands the quantity figure of Mrs. EmmeI.ne B. Wells. who was intrUs.ed with the starting of the movement by President Young. The wheat gathered was originally supposed to come from gleanlng, from donations and from purchases made with funds devoted to the purpose. While the need for this sort of charity work was greater at the time of It's inauguration than for many years past, the gathering and storing of the grain has been one of the most important parts of the Relief society work.
 A special significance of the turning over of the wheat to the government was given when it was announced that some 1000 or 5000 Utah boys enlisted in the national service are among those for whom the wheat will be used.
 I can recall the work done by the women in saving wheat when l was boy" said Bishop Hurst in speaking of the huge quantity of grain turned over by Mormon women to the government With every harvest a certain amount was stored away in the granaries From time to time the old wheat was taken out and replaced with new. In this manner it has been kept in good shape. For years this grain has been accomplishing. Among the people of the church 1t IS generally felt that this has been rather forcible proof of the value of the saving of grain.

AXEL RUNNING
 PASSES AWAY

Axel Running, who sustained serious internal injuries last Tues day while engaged in loading a heavy case of machinery, passed away at half past eight o'clock this at the Commission hospital.
 The surgeons took a very grave view of the case after thorough examination had been made and the extent of the injuries sustained had been ascertained and did not hold out any hopes of his recovery. Everything possible was done for him, but he was too badly injured to respond to the treatment.
 The deceased was member of the Fairbanks Igoo of Pioneers of Alaska and is also a member of other fraternal organizations, and it is likely that some one or all of the orders he is a member of will take in hand the arrangements for the funeral.
 The late Axel Running came to the North in the early days of the Klondike rush, and has remained in the North almost continually ever since. He is we'll and favorably known both in the Dawson country and in the Panama valley, and his numerous friends will be greatly shocked to hear of his death.
 He came to Nenana from Fair banks, where he had been for many years, this summer, where he worked in the sawmills, only recently enter ing the service of the Alaskan En- gineering commission as a car re- pairer. He leaves behind a wife and young daughter who are Ne mana residents, to mourn his loss, and they have the entire sympathy of the community and his friends.

COAL BUNKER IS BEING BUILT AT POWERPlANT NOW

With the possibility of the early arrival of carloads of coal from the Lynn mine, and the more general use of coal in the Commission power plant and the locomotives in the near future, commencement has been made with the construction of a capacious coal bunker behind the Commission power plant, to store the fuel in.
 A gang of men were put on yes terday to tear down the woodshed at the back of the power plant and the ground is now being prepared for the foundations of the bunkers.
 There will be an elevated track leading to the bunker to permit of the cars being dumpd direct to the bunker. The plans and speci- fications of the bunkers were not available this morning, but it is thought the bunker will have a capacity of not less than 100 tons

The vessel was badly exposed from the north, the wind sweeping down Lynn Canal with the force ia hurricane; from the south the vessel was protected by Sentinel Island and other small islands.
 The Princess Sophia crashed on the rocks on the Vanderbilt reef during heavy snow sQuall at three o'clock on Thursday morning, while on her way south from Skagway, where she took aboard on Wednes- day night two hundred and sixty eight passengers, composed almost entirely of Alaskans who had reach ed Whitehorse from the Interior points of Alaska at the close of navigation on the river.
 The vessel held fast soon after she struck, and it was at first thought that she would be released at high tide, which occurs at four o'clock. All efforts, however, failed to move her, and as she hung perlously on the reef, fresh northerly wind sprang up Lynn Canal, causing the l ship to pound badly.
 It is feared that there were many Nenanaites on board the Prin- cess Sophia and every effort is be- l ing made to ascertain the names of the passengers embarking on the illfated ship at Skagway The fol- lowing boys of the Signal Corps are known to have been on board the steamer: A. W. Mcqueen, l. Labrie, G. w. Gamble, T. E. Sanford and George Hendricks.
