day the number of lives each state is
asked to save In the campaign to save
100000 babies and yuong children

April 9Th. Announcement of the
purpose to wage such a campaign
was made some time ago by the Chill
drens Bureau and the Child Welfare
Department of the Woman's Commit
tee of the Council of National De-
tense, and the response, which has
surpassed all expectations, indicates
that efforts to promote the health

more vigorous this year than ever be-
fore.
The saving of 100000 lives of
children under five is only one part
of the big program for the welfare of

the country. It is realized by all con-
cerned that the standards of child

FLOUR INSTRUCTIONS

I. All excess flour should be re-
turned at once.
? How much flour may you keep?
Six pounds for every member of your
HOUSEHOLD
3. Be sure you start out now with
as many pounds of substitutes on
hand as you are permitted to hold
pounds of wheat -four.
4 Whenever possible return flour
to the merchant from whom you
bought
5. The old nigh patent flour is no
better than the present grade flour
for food value and should be handled
on the same basis. The -four now be-
"g made is pure wheat flour, with
no substitutes in it whatever.
6. Through the patriotic co-opera-
ton of the flour dealers you will be
able to return your extra -four as
follows: 1. At wholesale price of
-four today in cash. 2. At retail
price of -four today in trade. 8. Or
for -four credit ticket for the same
number of pounds of flour you re-
turn to be delivered as required.
z. The government doesn't want
TO cause any unnecessary trouble in
getting this flour returned, but you
must expect to make sacrifices in or
der to help the government meet the
present crisis. Remember everyone
asked to do his part, so don't stand
on trifleS. The government needs
the -four, while you and I do not. 1t
needs our -four now, it may need our
lives later. At any time and all
times let's go over the top for Uncle
Sam This time by returning the
Jour; next week by doing our share
for the Red Cross, and later In what
ever way that seems necessary. Prop
er arrangements will be made at the
proper time for taking out a larger
amount for harvest, than is permit
ted at present.. S. BIRD, County
Food Administrator.

STIMULATING GOLD PRODUCTION.

The action of Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury Department in naming a committee to study gold production in the United and to consider means of stimulating it's production shows the clear inten- tion of the Government do something in the in terest of gold mining. There is no one thing that could be done that would count for more in the de- veopment of this Territory than to make gold min ing profitable industry again. It would put new
 life into all four the Divisions of this Territory would make Juneau the old town that she was be- fore the
 In this connection it should be remembered that Delegate Sulzer is the who, as far as official Washington is concerned at least got this movement to stimulate gold mining under way. The letter of MT Cabreath printed in The Empire Saturday, gives Delegate Suzer credit starting the agitation that has finally resulted in the naming of this committee by Secretary McAdoo.

A DEFENSE AND A CONFESSION.

The Dispatch and of the people who were at the Wickersham meeting, which was dispersed by the police because it being held in violation of the regulations promulgated by those charged with that duty the purpose of preventing the spread Of the quarantine regulations deny that Senator Sutherland the meeting. The Empire had been informed by who at the meeting that Senator Suther- land there, and it printed the information.
 But why the denial? Why all this effort to prove that Senator Sutherland not at the meeting? If 1t not unlawful meeting no guilt could at tend Senator Sutherland for being present.
 Under the circumstances The Empire will admit that Senator Sutherland not present He is not guilty. h.z
 But it is not denied that Judge Wickersham was there. Therefore, if Senator Sutherland is not guilty because he not there. Judge Wickersham ie guilty because he there. The defense of Sena- tor Sutherland is confession far as Judge Wick ersham is concerned

SOMETHING ABOUT VINCENT DORTERO,
 SKAGWAY'S DEAD

One of Alaska's sacrifices to the cause of civilization was Vincent Dortero, a young merchant of Skag- way and one of the splendid young citizens who have grown to man hood in this Territory. He is son of A. Dortero. a Skagway merchant who arrived there is 1897. At that time, Vincent Dortero was but three years of age. He joined his father year or two after that, and lived there all his life, graduating from the Skagway school He was born at Astoria, Oregon.
 Speaking of the dead soldier boy, the Skagway Alaskan says:
 When only a youth little more than 16 years of age, he went into business for himself, choosing the mems clothing business as his line, and this business he conducted sue. cessfully up to a short time before his induction into the United States Army.
 He was member of Company A. 14th United States Infantry. and was stationed at Fort Wm H. Seward before being transferred to the States
 He was a prominent member of Camp Skagway No. 1, Arctic Broth erhood, Skagway Aerie No 25, Fra ternal Order of Eagles, Skagway Igloo No. 12, Pioneers of Alaska, and As tor Lodge No. 6, Knights of Pythias Astoria, Oregon.
 Tt is the intention to have the body brought back to Skagway for burial, and it is understood that John Dortero, brother of the deceased in Seattle, has already ordered the re- mains to be shipped to that city, and they will be brought here.
 "The deceased leaves a father and mother, MT. and Mrs. Tony Dortero, and sister. Mrs. David Stevenson, of this city, and John DoretrO, of Seattle, to mourn his loss.
 Vincent Dortero is the first Skag way boy to- give his life for his country, and while the honor was not his to be overseas when the su- preme sacrifice was made, the sac. rifice was not one whit less than had he died on the battlefield of the great world war He has done his duty and the management of this paper joints with his many friends in extending to the bereaved parents and relatives their heartfelt sym pathy in this, their time of sorrow"

TIME TO CALL HALT.

The Wickersham politicians have accused those who charged with the responsibility of prevent ing the spread of Spanish influenza in this sec tion of acting from political motives.

 This is not departure for these politicians. They are running true to form and habit And it is time tthat law-abiding citizens who more inter- ested in the welfare of the community than they are in the personal ambition of politicians. called a halt to it.
 It is time that systematic attempt, for political reasons obstruct the enforcement law in Alaska by attacking and attempting to bring into disrepute all those who charged with grave responsibilities should cease.
 There has hardly an official in Alaska from Gov. Riggs and the Judges of United States District Courts down, who has been subject at tack by the Dispatch and other Wickites in this Ter ritory. Judge Jennings constantly abused by the Dispatch for enforcing the liquor license law. Judge Bunnell was accused of "raroadng" to Jail. Gov. Riggs has been attacked for all of things by them. Other high officials have been under attack constantly Some of these attacks have been in the and from the stump Others have been the U-boat variety. At times there has been manpu- laon of all kinds to obstruct the operation of the law By inuendo and secret methods, by ways that are dark and tricks that vain, every effort has been made to embarrass and harrass of character and ability who have been conscientiously performing their official duties under the oaths of office.
 There be progress in Alaska if this sort of thing is not stamped "

JUST BECAUSE IT IS NOT TRUE.
