GERMAN PRESS
NOW REJOICING
Declares Disaster Sure to
Dampen u. s. Spirits in
Sending Troops.

Amsterdam. Feb, 9,--German news
papers are gloating over the psychic
logical effect" which they expect the
sinking of the Tuscania must produce
in America.
The Koelnische Nolks Zeitung says
the event must unfailingly dampen the
spirits of Americans and proceeds: a
"Sundry American vessels, some
with munitions and perhaps a small
number of soldiers, have been sunk
before. but so far as we know this is
the first case of a big transport with
considerable number Of troops
aboard falling victim to our U-boats.
Maybe large sized transports have
never or rarely so far crossed, for the
American forces in France are not
very large.
Remarkable Feat.
"As such vessels must ba conveyed
with great care. our U-boat's achieve
ment is all the more remarkable and
gratifying"
The Berlin Mittag am Zeitung makes
a similar comment and rejoices that
so much war material was lost and
that tho rescued soldiers will not be
Immediately available for service.

ALASKA MAY PRODUCE FOOD

Alaska's Food Administrator feels that much may be accomplished i'll tte way of stimulating the pro- duction of sundry food commodi- ties in various sections of the Ter ritory. The matter of raising su- ger beets is being investigated. Ger taIn sections reported excellent for the raising of asparagus and other like vegetables on a large scale will ne investigated. It is hoped to ac- comDlish much in the matter of in- creasing the reindeer herds of the Territory and to have Q greater quantity of Alaska's fine game animals used for meat substitutes. Conserving the waste and offal of tha canneries by manufacturing by products will receive attention.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

! An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance COM
panies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why SO many applicants
for insurance are reJected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people. and the large major
ity OF those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
nave the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public. there is one prepara-
ton that has been very successful IN
overcoming these conditions. The mild
and healing influence Of DR.. Kilmers
Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its remarkable record
or success.
we find that Swamp-Root Is strictly
an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need Of
such remedy to give 1t trial 1t is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles Of
two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,' n.
Y, for sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention the neokuk

Senator Frelinghuisen introduced a
resolution directing the war depart

General March was asked what ar
rangements have been made for abso-

March said, for bringing home the
American dead. He said no addition

be needed. All bodies are to be re.
turned except when relatives of the
dead ask that the body be left in
France.
March read into the record cable
gram from Pershing outlining the
difficulties in the way of speedy veri-
fication of casualties. They included:
Wide separation of American com
bat units, some of which fought with
the French and some with British
units.
