WAR TALKS
By UNCLE DAN
Number .Sis
Billie and Jimmie win Take Military
Training.
Number Six

II am mighty sorry, Uncle Dan, that
this Is your last night with us. Can't
you stay longer? We boys are having
peach of time," said Billie.
"Well, If you get more out Of it in
the way Of pleasure than l." said Un-
Gle Dan, "you are going some."
"Blllie, have been talking seriously
with your father and mother about
sending you to military academy and
they asked me to talk with you about
it."
"Whoopeel" Billie screamed, like a
wild Indian.
"Now, hold your horses" said Uncle
Dan, "aRd listen to me. You know
sent my boy, Howard, to one of these
schools for year when he was about
your age. He was narrow chested,
stoop shouldered, rather loose jointed {;
he had the big head and needed dis
cipline and physical development. He
was growing fast and wanted him to
be strong physically"
"Say, Uncle Dan." said Billie, II be-
lieve your description Of Howard fits
me pretty well, eh7"
"Well," said Uncle Dan, ito be frank
think 1t does; you need the same
thing. Howard did not like 1t ut first.
am told Tor q few weeks he had rough
sledding,' but after he found that the
only way was to obey orders, he caught
the spirit Of the institution and liked
it. We did not see him for about six
months, then he came home for few
days. We were astonished at his ap'
pearance. He had gained about &c
pounds In weight, his muscles were Of
hard as nails, he stood as straight af
an arrow, he was courteous, consider

disappeared. The change was wonder
full and it was all to the good. Here
is a photograph showing before and
after taking and I am sure no patent
medicine advertisement could beat 1t.
"Well, mother and were delighted.
That was ten years ago, and Howard
says the year he spent at the military
academy was the best year Of his life.
'Now," said Uncle Dan, with great
earnestness, when such training does
30 much good, MAKES better citizens and
at tho same time flts man to defend
his country, why. should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern.
ment's expense7 The government has
the right to call anyone to serve In
case Of war, and without training,
man Is worth nothing as a soldier. Un.
Gle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for
the purpose, therefore. here is double
reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed at once, 90 that every boy ply.
sically flt may have this training and
not leave it for his parents to pay for.
On account Of the expense, not one boy
in 80 can take the training now. i am
glad that you can do 80. These big
crops and big prices, I flnd make the
farmers rather 'cocky,', and that the
best Is demanded by them"
Billie was up with the lark the next
morning, more excited and enthusiastic
than ever. He had a plan. He knew
Jimmie owned colt worth 500; that
ne would make almost another $1O0 on
his potatoes If they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought a $100 Liberty bond.
Billie's plan was to have Jimmie cash
In and 60 with him. He was disap.
pointed to find that Jimmie would still
lack about $500 Of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, he
said: "I'm mighty sorry to leave jim
lnie.''.
Uncle Dan was silent moment or
two, then he asked Billie to 90 down
to the orchard and get him some ap'
pies to eat on the train. While he was
gone, It was arranged that Uncle Dan
and Mr.. and Mrs. Graham would ad.
vance the money necessary so that
Jimmie could 60. When Billie returned
he was told about 1t. He ran to the
phone and called Jimmie, saying

MINERAL PRODUCTION
 OF ALASKA |N 1917

this came from the York district where two tin dredges were operating Developments were also contributed on the Lost River lode-tin mine. The rest of the concentrates were recover ed incidentally to placer gold mining chiefly in the Hot Springs district
 Anthony Mining.
 The mining of anthony orc (stib- nlte) began in Alaska in 1915 and con- tinued on about the some scale throughout the first half of 1916, when q fall in the price of anthony put an end to most of these operations. Min ing continued at two localities in the Fairbanks district in 1917.
 Tungsten Mining.
 The Fairbanks district and Seward Peninsula were the principal produc- CTS of tungsten in Alaska in 1917 Tn the Fairbanks district two tungsten mines are now in course of develop ment. At one of these mines one unit of a 75-ton mill is in operation and late in the summer was turning out several hundred pounds of sheclite concen- trates daily At the other mine q similar mill was in course Of con- struction. Underground work was in progress at both mines. The present indications give promise of a large in- crease in the production of tungsten in the Fairbanks district In Seward Peninsula tungsten was produced prin- cipally by sluicing the residual schoc- lite-bearing lode material in Sophie Culch. Smaller quantities were rccov- cred the result of placer mining at other localities
 Mineral Fuels.
 The production of petroleum from the only oil claim patented in Alaska in the Katalla district, was increased somewhat in 1917. Drilling continued on a small scale, but no new produce tive wells were obtained.
 Obout 1000 tons of coal, valued at s3O0,000. was mined in Alaska during 1917. The largest production was de- rived from the Eska Creek mines in the Matanuska field. which were taken over by the Alaska Engineering Com mission. Coal was mined also at the Doherty mine in the Matanuska field, at the Bluff Point mine on Cook Inlet, on Cache Creek and near Candle. The most important event of the year in connection with the coal mining was the completion of the Matanuska branch of the Government railroad.

The hig.he1ade coal on Chickaloon River is now being opened by the Al- askan Engineering Commission, and small shipments to Anchorage have been reported Work preparatory to mining is being undertaken by private lcssees on Moose Creek.
 The coal lands in the Nenana coal field have been subdivided and will be offered for leasing at an early date. The Government railroad is now being built southward to this field from Ne

forms. With the ingenuity that dis tinguishes them the Germans use both gases in the same sector.
 The new gas directly attacks the muscous membranes. Tn the autopsy we are often able to peel off the mu- cous membrane as one would an old glove, said one surgeon. Sometimes it breaks and curls mp like the shingles on an old roof.
 The gas clings to the clothing, so that subsequent wearers may be at tackled if it is not thoroly cleaned. The nature of the new weapon may be indicated by some of the directions given to army surgeons for treating those injured by it:
 :" Strip them at once if possible, and bathe in q solution of soapy water. This should be done at the dressing stations if possible
 Tt is then directed that they shall be sent at once to a hospital by a special ambulance, and be given prece- dence of other wounded The stretch CTS should be covered with WaXcd cloth which can easily be cleaned Sur geons and nurses handling the patients must wear impenctrable gloves. They must be kept separate from other patients"
