ganized for affording relief in the nea r
East. aside from the Red Crescent

than SIS, 100000 in administering to
the relief Of starving Armenians and
Syrians and portion Of the Greek pop

of the money spent to date has been
used merely to keep alive the desti-

be begun. Now that the war Is over
that time Is at hand. Experts Of the
Committee have estimated that $780,
100000 will be needed i'm Immediately to

carried on through the United States
from January 18th to 10Th. Half OF
the amount to be raised during the

 A liar may not have any friends But the man who insists on telling the truth hasn't any friends, either It is none of our business. But just what did become of the man who wrote: q didn't Raise My Boy To Be Soldier?"'
 When mans wife is away on a trip he can always get her to come home the next day by writing her that he is having a good time and telling her to stay as long as she likes.
 The reason why so many liars get caught up is because only one man in 30 has a good memory. When we get so old and thin blooded that we haven't any use for Wine Women and Song, we are not going to try and square ourself with the Lord by joining the other fos- sils who are members of societies and leagues organized to prevent other folks from having any fun. We cant understand why bigamy carries a prison sentence. A biga mist would receive more punishment if he were compelled to stay out of a sheltering place and had to dodge his wives.
 And a whole lot of men would be better off if they would hustle to 1 keep job the way they hustle to get it.
 Outside of stirring up a lot of nasty mud Reform seldom accom- plishes anything. No, Agnes, the pink of propriety isn't the stuff that a girl has her cheeks smeared up with.
 An old maid cant understand why wives let their husbands run around the way they do and why they do not manage them better.
 Too many church members have a tendency to let the preacher be good for the rest of the flock.

 Birch being akin to maple in it's sap producing qualities, well in texture of wood, it has the same value in production of staple food in the way tive degree Frank Lange of the Anchorage Public Market, who is authority on this phase of birch products, has a sample of birch syrup at his store which he made from birch sap this spring, and and that birch syrup is more than comparable with the real maple article are in position to verify having tasted it.
 To the who raised spent any cOnsid erable time in the States bordering the Atlantic sea board and westward where maple syrup and maple sugar, the real goods in general use fond mem ories of the time when the sap buckets were brought out in preparation for gathering the years supply. And it is only by personal contact with the camoufage product that may be had in every grocery the continent that learn to ap- preciate the real.
 It should, therefore, be of peculiar interest to the people in this portion of Alaska to know that living in district where nature is lav- ish in food product which is superior real to-God maple syrup. Mr Lang informs that any given amount of birch sap, which about the to the same sized tree the maple will yield nearly twice much syrup of the consistency.
 Birch syrup products range all down the line in to the various extracts and medicinal standards that the people of the United States have spent millions for, in mportations from the northern European countries. And this time when it's value as a food product in the of is in almost imper- ative demand we believe it is worth while give it more publicity than it has had heretofore

CARPING CRITICISM.

Senator Johnsons demand to know why Gen Wood was not sent France in face of the ascer- tained fact that it because Gen. Pershlh9 dio not want him there recalls the foolishness or those who demanded know why President Lincoln sus- tained Gen. Grant when he relieved Gen. McClernand from the command of his corps before Nicksburg De- cause of his penchant for self-advertising Presi- dent Lincoln sustained Gen. Grant because Grant was the commander-in chief of the army which had penned up Gen. Pemberton and his force It IS said he sorry that Gen. Grant had felt that it was necessary do what he did but he believed that the commanding General should have all to say if corps commander unsatisfactory to him, and he had notion of removing Gen. Grant from command after the brilliantly successful Vicksburg campaign No ioubtEPTesdent Wilson has no idea of removing Gen. Persh ing from the command in France and, if that is so he would not be so foolish as to give him Generals he does not want division commanders. Senator Johnson is simply carping. President Wilson will probably treat him with the same tolerant contempt that President Lincoln show ed for the carping critics in 1863 at the high tide of the Civil War.
