STICK TO YOUR TOWN AND JOB

Stick to your town and stick to your job, !s becoming a war maxim and It is sound business for the Individual. In these days sof war conservation time spent in travelling Is time wasted, and too much time .s being wasted that way. Not on
 v ts sir a waste of time, but in rsrteres with transportation condi- tious.
 And the individual who sticks to his town and his jcb. is the one who ,s playing safe. He is the one, barring the long shot in the law of chances. who will certainly win in .r- lad. This war will end quickly on os these days, and there will imme- dtateIy begin the greatest readjust- wauc the world has ever witnessed. There will be many millinOs of peo- pie who will have to change their vocation and do it quickly Men in the armies and nayies and men en- gaged in making munitions and othe war materials will have to find work elsewhere. The man with hOm and job will then be the lucky on When the rush of the non-employ- aL men and unemployed capital come for work and employment, the man with a job or a business will be fortunate.
 The Portland Lodge of Elks, in the regular bulletin issued by the lodge. urges its smembers to tick with the jobs they hold, and urges the reasons here set forth, and Oth- CT fraternal and beneficial organiza- tious throughout the United States are doing the same thing. These warnings are given for the bene- fit oE the members.
 Writing on these topics, the Val dez Miner, recently very sensibly suggests:
 stick to your town while the na- ton ir undergoing it's present crisis. Conditions are but little better in one place than another, and unless a city is engaged in war work the bottom is liable to fall out of all business unless the war ends short 1 ". \ othing Is to be gained by nov ing from place to place. Times are as good in Valdez as in any other town ID the Territory, and while conditions may be slightly sbetter outside who would live there un- less compelled to? It is safe to guarantee that Alaska will be one O the most prosperous points on the Pacific coast after the war ends, an no man can say when, that will be; Or in what manner it will leave tho business interests outside. Therefore 1t behOoyes those of us who are here to hang on and hope for better times, which may come ! today, tomorrow or soon, but are | bound to come eventually"
 What the Miner says Of Valdez l Is true and may be asserted with | even more emphasis, of Juneau and Gastineau. This section is as cer- I tainly to come to the front strong CT than ever as soon as the war is over as the war is certain to end one of these days, and to end in & triumphant victory for democracy and American institutions.-Empire

PERFECT WOMANHOOD

Perfect womanhood depends on
perfect health. Beauty and a good
disposition both vanish before pain
and suffering. A great menace to Il
woman's happiness in life is the suf-
fering that comes from some func-
tional derrangement which soon de-
velops headaches, backache, nerv-
BUSINESS and the blues" For such
suffering, women find help in that
famous old root and herb remedy,

has been restoring health to women
of America.

Company in assisting the borough to
clear Front street of tho snow.

somewhat but when the snow is
cleared from the streets the cars will
be able to resume regular schedules s
as they will not be bothered ~ith

but exist only in sections of the bor-

The Government has fixed the

wheat must be graded by the buyers
and the prices range corresponding
ly lower according to grade. From
data at hand Pennsylvania wheat is
now ranging in price from $2.05 to

account of the grade and the freight
rate to market Pennsylvania wheat
ranges from No. 2 to No. grade,
