The Nenana daily news. (Nenana, Alaska) 1918-1921, 1918-06-17

Abeselom, riding, was caught by the
hair among the trees, but today
one might gallop from Dan to
Beersheba without having to duck
ones head to avoid a branch.
"Trees of rapid growth will be
planted, and for the more cultiv-
able districts fruit-bearing trees
will be utilized.
"The storage of water in lakes
and reservoirs is comparatively
simple in Palestine. By erecting
small dams across certain wadys, a
series of small reservoirs can be con-
structed at little expense, creating
supply that will last throughout
the dry season. In southern Pales-
tine hundreds of natural springs
can be opened up which under CEN
turtles of misrule, have been allowed
to choke up and fall into disuse.
Palestine today possesses an ad-
vantage it never had before in
first-class railway connection with
Egypt. All the surplus crops will
find ready market in the grow
ing Egyption cities.'

A NEW PALESTINE

Two principal recommendations
which the Civilian Commission now
in Palestine will make as a begin
ming for the reconstruction of that
country will be scheme for be-
ginning afforestation, and a pro-
posal for the conservation of water
supply by storage and by opening
up old springs.
A preliminary statement from a
member of the committee says:
'The greatest of all Palestine's
needs is afforestation. For CEN
turtles the land has been denuded
of its trees with most disastrous
consequences. For the heavy rains
at certain seasons, instead of bene-
fitting the soil, over more than four
fifths of the area carry away in
rushing torrents much of the little
soil that remains on the high lands
and valley slopes.
Palestine has not always been
treeless. The Roman emperors had
valuable forests in the country, and

This locomotive is a switch engine

Nenana, Alaska, June IA, 1918
Greetings
I'm starting out on my travels,
l have decided to save myself much
answering of questions by writing
a short autobiography.
"The Red Cross organization in
Nenana, in order to raise funds for
the drive that ended May 9th, gave
a final entertainment on that date,
when it was made perfectly easy
for anyone to spend their money,
knowing that it was going to the
help of those who need care.
"All the good things that entered
in my composition were furnished
by the crew of the Tavern cafe, and
James Colmer, the Tavern chef,
made and baked me in a pan made
by William Gilcher, for this particu-
lar purpose. Charles Bergman fur
nished wooden seat for my use,
and the night of the 25th, Miss
Betty Foster looked after my well
fare.
There were ''some doings" that
night, and many good dollars were
gathered into the Red Cross treas
ury.
"They made me the prize in al
rattle which netted $127.OO and
naturally l am not esteeming myself
at lower valuation than was shown
by those who know me well.
Leon P Shoemaker held the
lucky number, and was given a life
membership in the Red Cross.
LAS far as l am concerned, the
rattle was only means of showing
appreciation, and l was very cour-
teously allowed to remain where | !
was
Later, Mr.. William L. Packer, !
of construction of
the Alaskan Engineering commits |
sion, who is engaged in connection |
sion, who is engaged in connecting
Nenana with the coast by rail,
donated the case in which l now
travel and reside.
"This itinerary if mine is rather
unusual for a cake, but cakes often
join in such affairs as weddings and
the like; and l see no good reason
why should not go out and help
IN the great cause of humanity.
I'm fact, if we are to retain our
usual place in the American scheme
Of existence, it is. necessary that we
TOO stop at no sacrifice; that even
he inanimate raise their mute pro-
Test against the crusade of hellish-
ness; and that we too help in the
alienation of human suffering.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plan-the ar
ticle did not fulfill the promises Of the
manufacturer. This applies more par
ticularly to a medicine. A medicinal
preparation that has rear curative
value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who are in
need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
a preparation l have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many Of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that l know OF has so
large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
due to the fact that, so many people
claim, it fulfills almost every wish in
overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
ailments, corrects urinary troubles and
neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad

Persistent warnings to the lad
through the newspapers evidently
have been to no avail. He was not
reported as calling at any home yes
terday, but this morning bright and
early he was again on the Job using
his Boy Scout-Red Cross story.
To Be Warned.
Probably no drastic steps will be
taken by Red Cross or Boy Scout Of
ficials to punish the offender, but he
will be finally warned not to use the
chapter or council name in connec-

Of the city evidently have been allow

TO BE FIRE SCOUTS.

Fire Chief Elliot Whitehead Of Oak
land, Cal, appreciated the value of the
scout preparation and believing that
the scouts can be counted on in emer-
gencies, Is planning to form a fire.
patrol in each troop. These patrols
will receive recognition at fires and
will be counted on to prevent fires.
Instruction in flre-nghting and preven-
ton and direction for forming the fire
patrols Is given by the chief himself.
Patrol leaders and older scouts are
eligible to join these patrols.
\ At The end Of the course OF instruc-
zion, short civil service examination
viii be given and the scouts receiving
the highest credits will be eligible for
election as fire chiefs, assistants and
captains.
The patrol win be taken to visit the
fire houses; the fire-fighting apparatus
will be explained and demonstrated
and fire drills win be conducted.
A distinctive badge or shield win be
worn By the fire scouts. This organiZa-
ton will not conflict with the organiza-
ton in the schools, but will serve to
strengthen N, as the school fire war
dens will be even more efficient IL they
are fire scouts.
