4 SINION-PCRE PATRIOT

There are different ways of show ing ones patriotism. One Of the easiest Is the wearing of uniform for the khaki or navy blue makes it patent to all who See the Wearer that he Is ID his country's service.
 But the country needs more than fighters. It needs men for the industrial army, and it especially needs men for the unskined work in the shipyards, munitton plants, and other war industries. Today the man who volunteers for pick and-snovel work in an essential in dustry is as much a patriot as the man who volunteers for the Army. Perhaps, in the last analysis, he is more so, for he gets no public glory and only hard work.
 Among the thousands of letters re ceived by the Employment Service last week was this gem. It comes from g. western clergyman, and for an example of simon-pure patriotism it deserves first mention:

The New Republic prints let ter from g French sergeant of in .aatry, cescribing his impression of the American troops:
 You may say this to our Ameri- cau friends: It is impossible to conceive of a more complete under standing of a deeper sympathy, thar exists between the roilus of the two grcups. These feelings are ex- pressed in a thousand ways; prompi ness in helping each other, exchange of small presents, and especially the eagerueSS to be tgoether. I have often witnessed a scene such as ths one ] saw yesterday: Before the fire two Americans are cooking d.uuer for their comrades in the lines; five six French poiluS are around: and they all chat and laugh and rough it with the greatest cor liIlity. The most interesting part of .t is that they succeed ln under standing each other. If the war lasts but a little longer they'n ere ate a mongrel language of the most picturesque effect. The reason for this sudden friendship $ easy to uudertand; it is founded on mutual respect"

Crying For Help
Lots of It in Sllagway But Daily Growing Less.

The kidneys often cry for help.
 Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed;
 Not one more important to health.
 The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
 When they fail the blood becomes foul and poisonous.
 There can be no health where there is poisonous blood.
 Backache is one of the frequent indications of kidney trouble.
 It Is often the Kidneys cry for help. Heed it. -

KID DIAMOND DICK
 RUNS AMUCK LAW

George Starr, a 14-year-old boy was arrested recently at Fairbanks on a statutory charge under sec tion 2O1O of the Compiled Laws of Alaska. The complaint was filed by District Attorney Roth on Sstur- day last. Starr was released On his own recogpIzance until June 25.
 The arrest of Starr was the out come of a scandal in the upper town in which several young boys were involved. A gang of them in spired by stories of the Diamond Dick variety, were engaged in un- lawful pursuits and had made ar rangements to hold up, rob, kill and bury one of the youngsters who was engaged in selling papers around town.

WHAT ALASKA DID IN SECOND RED }
 CROSS DRIVE

The following shows contents of a letter received in this office from the Seattle Campaign Office, un- der date of June 7th:
 "The National Committee. originals ly allotted to Alaska $20,000. Prior to the opening of the campaign, at a meeting in Seattle of Northwest ern State Managers, this commit tee voluntarily accepted as an al lotment for Alaska $40, ,000-double the amount allotted by the National Committee.
 "We have now raised five and ora half times the amount asked by the National Committee and two and one half times the amount we voluntarily promised.
 Each campaign in which l have participated for the purpose of rais- ing war funds in Alaska, inpresses me more and more with the sterling AmericaniSm, loyalty and neergy Of all Alaskans in furthering the war work of their country. In these patriotic campaigns there are no doubters or faint hearted workers under AaSka's banner. When asked to work they all answer the roll call.
 "In the membership campaign of December, 1917, We estimated the white population at 25,2OO. When my report was closed early in January, 1918, the Red Cross had enrolled in Alaska 2O,391 memberss -SO.6S precent of the popualion. When more complete returns reached headquarters it was found that 94 percent of all the men, wo- men and children in Alaska had be- come members of the Red Cross.
 We are now closing the Second Red Cross War Fund Drive and find Alaska has raised larger sum per cpaita than any other state or territory. Complete returns will increase this showing by a substan- tial amount. These are marvellous results and the enthusiasm of the workers, even in the most remote parts, has been a constant inspira- ton to the members of this com mittee.
 "Whalers of the Aleutian Islands; trappers on the shores of the Are tic Ocean clear to Point Barrow; gold miners as remote as Coldfeet on the Koyukuk River; traders an1 trappers on the Kuskokwim River; fur sealers on the Pribilof Islands; cannerymen all over Alaska; and merchants and laborers in Interior points; all joined with the towns and cities in making the campaign a great success. When We consider that many points are still wrapped in Arctic ice and cold and that col letions are being made over the snow and ice by dog team and rein deer, we are compelled to marvel at the enthusiasm aroused in-the work CTS under these adverse conditions. All Praise to them. IF THE EN- TIRE POPULATION OF THE U- NITED STATES WAS COMPOSED OF ALASKANS, THE WAR WOULD BE OVER THIS SUMMER.
 May ask you to accept my sin cere thanks for your unswerVing loy' alty and unbounded enthusiasm. Without this generous whole hearted cooperation on your part the campaign would have fallen flat. Kindly extend my thanks to every worker in your Jurisdiction.
 Yours truly,

SUGAR SHORTAGE CERTAIN
 FOB REST OF THE YE,


 Connecticut's sugar allotment for November and December each is S,7oo, o0o pounds according to informa- ton received from Washington by Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoyille. This means that the sugar situation in Connecticut will not be relieved, nor the shortage removed, except by further voluntary conserya- tion by the public, which for the most part is not yet down to the allowance of two pounds per person per month, which amounts to about six level tea spoonfuls of sugar a day.
 Following out the recent ruling from Washington, the food admins tration in Connecticut will sharply cut manufacturers making soft drinks so that in no case will their allotment exceed the sugar they actually need to comply with the war industries boards regulation limiting them to a total production of 50 per cent of the corresponding months in 1917. In most cases soft drink manufacturers will probably be cut considerably be- low their acquisitions. Ice cream manufacturers will also be placed on a more restricted bases, as will manu- lecturers using sugar for candies cocoa, chocolate and beverage syrups
 Bakers and public eating places will receive about the same amount oi sugar as in October, the bakers being cut 70, per cent of their pre-waF con sumption Of sugar and the eating places held to about two pounds pei

KING NICHOLAS ATTITUDE.

Right in keeping with the progress of events in that part of the world is the statement of King Nicholas of Montenegro to the effect that his country must become constituent part of Jugoslavia. and his advocacy of a confederated Jugoslavia in which each state would be equal and retain its rights, institutions and religion.
 That he has sensed the situation cannot be questioned and he promises to be an important factor in bringing it about. He sees the end of the for mer territorial arrangements and rec ognizes that there are rights which the peoples in that part of the worl should be allowed to have. It is time to lift the yoke of oppression and that Montenegro intends to do its small part in bringing it about is pretty well indicated by the manner in which they are taking pp arms against the Austro- Hungarian forces whicli are there or have been driven there as the result of the allied offensive in Macedonia and Albania.
 It is quite evident. if it les within the power Of the little black Kingdom that the dual monarchy is not going to get any eonsela ton from that di. Feetion, but that this small mountain GUS country is going to rise to the oe. easioa and do it's part in bringing about needed Improvements. And the best part of it is that this attitude il not being displayed as the result O. pressure, but as recognition Of what is right.

KEEP uP THE DECLINE.

It is certainly gratifying that many sections of the country are able to report a decided decrease in the in- nuenza epidemic. but 1t is evident nevertheless from the reports of new cases and the large number of deaths that the end has not been reached, Although there are not as many cases the disease has by no means been wiped out. There is still much sick ness even in the sections where re- strictions have been lifted. that is in those parts of the country where it made it's first appearance, while the centers which are now reporting an improvement arc stil experiencing much trouble therefrom and showing many deaths.
 Every bit of improvement. however, is heartily welcomed though the coun- try wishes 1t might be speedier. put it is perfectly evident that it is by no means time to disregard precautions. The disease has shown the necessity of exercising more than the ordinary care and this can by no means be abandoned. It will be by the exercise of such efforts in behalf of proven ton that the desired progress will be made in stamping .it out. The i'm provement which is being shown must be continued and it ought not to he necessary to insist upon the exer- else of every reasonable precaution to this end. It is too serious a matter to let negligence be responsible for letting it swing back over the country. Being on the wane it should be kept going in that direction,

 Beekeepers are entitled to receive whatever sugar is necessary to care for bee colonies during the winter pc riod provided the food administration is assured that the beekeepers have not been .robbing the hives to take advantage of the present high prices of honey as a sugar substitute.
 The food administration repeats it's former announcement that grocers may sell the housewife one-haH of her months allowance of sugar at one time This supersedes the two and five pound sales rule and is relief both to the retailer. who has to wrap up many small packages, and to the housewife, who is entitled to two pounds for every member of her fam fly each month Approximately 200 million pounds of sugar will be saved each year by this new ruling which provides that between the 1st and the 18th of the month one half of the two pound per person allowance may be secured, and again any time between the 18th and the seth of the month the retailer may sell the balance of the monthly allowance. .
 Some people who are ignorant of the real facts have openly declared there was more sugar in Connecticut than was needed by retailers and that the food administration sugar con- servation program was unnecessary It is known that some wholesalers have whole carloads of sugar stand ing in various sections of the state but so far as the food administration has any official knowledge, this may be some of Connecticut's sugar supply for the next six months.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Austria is at last finding out what it means to be led into crime by evil minded associates.
 Tho man on the corner says: There are many instances where a black eye stands for a peace Of justice
 With the Germans leaving Rumania it shows pretty conclusiveiy what the conditions arc in that country
 la the contributions to the repubri- can campaign funds there should not be overlooked the unsolicited help given by President Wilson.
 No matter how they tried the ,'e- publicans could not have aroused as much interest in politics this week as the president has, to his regret, stir red up.
 With the Hughes aircraf! report on the way. we are hearing about the great big strides that are being made in that industry now, but the report has not been made public Apparently Austria thinks it is go- ing to gain more to it's advantage by calling foi an armistice and peace ! under President Wilson's principles than by internationally surrennertng. After the way in waich their ar mics have been conducting themselves in other countries. there can be little 1 surprise. that the Germans and Aus trians are anxious that there should | be no iHvas,9a of the fatiierland.
 There ought te have been foresight enough in connection with the claims of Spellacy sticking to his post to an | nounee at the same time that ht wants to leave his post to be gov ernor, but the people are satisfied with HolcoTnb.
 When a prominent Massachusetts democrat declares President Wilson has split the beanss and another says that Weeks and Coolidge will now win by 5o.Oo0." it shows what an i'm DTession has been created even among the democrats by the presidential re vivar of adjourned politics.

A psrsusslye Yankee corporaI,

That reports from the American front concerning the capture of great numbers of Germans by an American single handel are not exaggerated is shown in a communication written by Lieutenant Harold B. Eaton. Harvard 'G7, of the Medical Reserve, to Seth T. GaHo, acting secretary of his class. Incidentally Eatons experiences go to show what Uncle Sam finds for his "nedicos' to do during their quiet spells.
 Extracts from Lieutenant Eaton's letter, which appears in the Harvard Alumni Bulletin follows
 Tt was our division which had not only stopped the Hun al Helleau wood on the drive on Paris, but turned him around and started him toward Ser lin. We had expected him to go to the S0mne front. but had been rushed up to the Chateau Thierry region, and had haen kept doing duty as infantry For several days and nights we were under rife and machine gun fire, were shelled by 7Ts, 105's and 1S0's, mus tard gas, and aerial torpednes.

I know you'll open them at night when you go out there for gin- ger ale or something and I'm sure burglars will get in if you forget them"
 Again. when would be telling her of the queer pain which had taken me that morning in my left middle finger she would exclaim: Henry, Mrs. Stuh- nins brings her magazines over here every month to send in ny package, and I'll tell her to leave them on the basement window sill where they won't be rained on.
