Of vastly more Importance than out

Men and women are urgcd to drink
each morning, before breakfast glass

Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue, nasty taste or have a

This will cost very little but is suffi'

ed results, both in regard to health and

manmans. When Won Hindenburg orders
his troops into the American trenches to
be killed, instead of waiting on the de-
fensive in their own trenches, the Ger
mans are playing General Pershing 5
own game for him.
Nervous activity of this kind by the
Germans is sure to continue. Frequent
assaults of the character of the Seiche-
prey adventure can be expected during
the period Of final training Of the Am
eriean forces. Every one Of them will
mean "a uerlnan slaughter ana THIS VIII
be a victory for America, regardless
of any slight changes that may result in
the bends of the battle front.
This spirit Of restlessness is the great
est fault of the German militarists and
by its operation alone, means their ul-
innate undoing. The Germans are whoi-
ly incapable of letting well enough
alone. That is the reason why they en-
barked on their submarine warfare
which forced America into the war; that
is why they started their present west
front offensive which is proving to be
be without adequate compensation for
the terrible slaughter Of German man
power; that is why every major mistake
of the German military faction has been
committed.
A kind of nemasthenie Irresponsible
ity prevails at German headquarters.
The higher command is thinking always
in terms of the initiative. This is dis
astrous trait. 1t means Hindenburg and
the Hohenzollens cannot restrain their
mania for killing even more Germans as
their sole means Of trying to win the
war. Each German assault, therefore,
that results in German deaths must be
regarded as a German contribution to
demoeraey's eventful triumph.

M'SMART TELLS ABOUT ALASkANS
 ON THE FRONT

Thomas McSmart, a former resi- dent of Fairbanks and Dawson, has written from the western European war front to his old friend Thomas King, of Fairbanks. McSmart has been with the Canadian expedition ary force since the early days of the war, and has been almost continual ly in active service. He writes in his letter of seeing many old Yu- koners and Alaskans in France, and tells of sending copies of Alaskan newspapers which were mailed for the Boyle contingent from Dawson, up in Flanders.
 The letters as printed in the Fair banks Citizen is as follows:
 'I sure have been more than busy. think I told you in my last letter that met Pete Falconer and Bobby Forrest over here. We'll, also met some of the other old Yukoners in the Princess Pats I saw Fred La Blanche; you remember him. He played the violin, believe. Well, saw him les than month ago, poor fellow He's gone for good now. The first time over the top and he got his. This is tough old game, Tommy. I saw George Trites, who used to have the mail and stage line at Fairbanks. over here. And lots of others though forget their names. I am in another out fit now, address Tom McSmart, 339376, 45th Battery, 9th Brigade, C. F. A., France. Tell Caskey that left some of his Citizens at an es- taminet (saloon) way up in Elan ders for some of the Boyle outfit that came over here. My pal that came over with me was captured or killed by the Fritzies about a month back. He was a lieutenant in the fling corps. Jack, my cousin, who also came with me, was wound ed in the leg, but is OK. now. That was over ten weeks ago."
