tons land sanitarla, presumably tea
and coffee as we'll as tobacco win have
to follow alcohol into the discard. He
says:
Between 1909 and 1913 the an
nual consumption of tea rose from
115,0o0.000 to 151, 000. 900 pounds, an
increase of 100000 pounds per an
mum.
Estimating the average individ-
ual consumption of tea drinkers to
be two-fifths of an ounce per diem.
the total number of tea drinkers in
the United States Is about 16,000,-
600. an army OF drug addicts whose
number Is increased annually by the
addition of 425, 900 new recruits.
Search for the cause OF this sur
prisingly rapid increase of tea
drinkers has led to the discovery
has paralleled the decrease in the
use of alcoholic liquors. 1t appears
indeed that the American people
are exchanging alcohol for tea. The
question at once arises, VIII the
nation gain or lose by swapping
rum drinking for tea tipping?
"Of course the answer must de-
pend upon the amount consumed in
both cases. A little tea would be
less damaging than much alcohol.
On the other hand, a little alcohol
would be less harmful than much
tea In equal quantities tea is de-
cidedly worse than beer. The
amount of poison In pint OF strong
tea is greater than that in an equal
amount Of beer, not by weight but
in physiologic effect. A man could
drink without showing evidence OF
intoxication more pints of beer than
OF strong tea.
I'VE shall not be satisfied to
trade of whiskey intemperance for
tea tippling. Drug addiction of all
sorts is to be frowned upon and
suppressed. A tea drunkard is a

DR.. Harris's position Is betwixt and

That the injurious substances

other alkaloids.
That the smoking is more inju-
rious the younger the smoker Is.
That chewing IS much more In

But does the anti-tobacco crusade,
revived and encouraged by liquor pro-
hibition, amount to anything deserving
OF discussion? The tobacco men

applications for membership, repre-
senting every State and the army at

COMMITTEE ON FOOD PRICES NAMED

Pursuant to instructions from the Attorney General and the Food Ad. ninistration, with the hope and pur- pose of assisting in establishing fair and equitable prices for food commodi- ties and generally to the end of recuc . ing the high cost of living in all commodities in general use, Judge WhittleSey today named an inveStiga ting committee for Seward and vicin- ity, whose duty it will be to hold hear ings at which any and all citizens may appear and give their evidence touch ing the prevailing prices in Seward for such commodities.
 ''It is the part of good citizenship for the members of this committee to forego any reluctance to seive,' said Judge Whittlesey in making his com mittee appointments, "and for the re sidentS of Seward to cooperate aS fully as possible with the National government in it's endeavor to abolish profiteering and establish a scale of lower prices for food and oher com modtieS.
 "The government is giving present attention to this subject as touching the interests and welfare of all the people to the exclusion of many other important matters.
 "It is only by coordination of knowledge of facts and of efforts tha- the consumer may be benefited and the dealer not injured.
 "If the local merchants are not "t fault, the public should know it, ana if they are at fault, correction and ad- justment should be made. "It is suggested that those wh, wish to appear and present their cvi- dence of profiteering, to save tim" should bring their bills with them" A meeting of the committee will be held at the Town Hall, Thursday af- ternoon, August 18th, at 2 o'clock.

SHELDON IS BACK
 FROM THE FRONT.

Charles Sheldon, perhaps the first man to enlist in the war service from Seward, who returned here Saturday night on the Admiral Watson, was eighteen months and eighteen days in France. Mir. Sheldon enlisted in Nov. in 1917 and 60 days afterwards was in France with the naval aviation corps
 Mr. Sheldon has many interesting things to tell regarding the war. He brought back with him trunk filled with war relics of various kinds.
 Mr. Sheldon was at the front most of the time he was in France and after the signing of the armistice was for five months in Belgium and Northern France building refugee houses.
 Going across the Atlantic, Mir. Shcl- don was on a transport which Is crc- dted with sinking one German sub marine.

MAIL FOR IDITAROD TO BE BILLED THROUGH
 CORDOVA IN FUTURE

Alvah Eames, chief railway mail clerk for this section, in charge of he Interior mail routes, announces that the Seward-to-lditarod mail route has been discontinued, and that here after the mail for Iditarod will be routed via Cordova, Chitna, Fairbanks and Ruby, and thence to Iditarod, says the Cordova Times.
 This announcement will cause dis appointment to a large number of per- sons in the Iditarod, Innoko and Kus- kokwim regions, who have for the past five years been furnished with mail by this route The distance from tide water via the Seward trail is in the neighborhood of $50 miles, while tn" route to be followed hereafter, which formerly was the route followed Dy the mail for the gold camps Of west ern Alaska, is several hundred miles longer.
 While no explanation is given for the change, it may be presumed that the Seward route has proved more costly than was anticipated for the country to be served. The population of that section has rapidly decreased in the past few years, and it is prob able that better service will be fur nished by the new route, although a longer distance will have to be trav- eled.
 It is likely, also, that the infrequency of steamship service to Seward during the winter months may have been q factor in making the change.

 Capt. Matlocli encountered these forces last Saturday and they deferre the American punitive expedition from continuing the pursuit of the bandits who had captured and held for ran som two American army aviators.
 American scouts learned that l5O CarranzistaS were on the only trail the Americans could take towar"e further pursuit c.f the bandits. The Americans then began the return march to the border to avoid clash unless orders had been received to go ahead and fight.

REFUSES QUARTER OF A
 MILLION DOLLARS FOR
 INTEREST IN ALASKA MINE

Since refusing an offer of S25O,- 900 cash for her interest in the Chica- golf mine, Mrs. DeGroff has drawn more than one million in dividends. This is the story of the wealth of q pioneer Alaska merchants widow who lives in place in Honolulu as the re- suit of a small sum her husband specu- lated in Alaska mines.
 Edward DeGroff was big, good natured small town grocer located at Sitka. He never accumulated any great wealth because he was too liberal with credit. Most any old-time prospector could get small grubstake by giving DeGroff a good talk. When the Chich' agoff float ore was found by two Ma tive Sitka boys their teacher, Prof. Kelly, got DeGroff' to put some grub and cash to prospect the find. The ground was staked and pay started from the grass roots. The Natives got about S50,000 in cash.
 Prof. Kelly also took cash for his interest, and eventually the Chicha- golf company offered Mrs. DeGroff s25O, ,O00 for her interest. Whether her husband had told her before his death never to sell or whether just wo- mans whim is not known. But she re- fused to sell. Today the Chichagoff mine clears about million year, and Mrs. DeGroff draws about twenty-five per cent of it in dividends.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 27- The War Department announces that on September 25th retail stores for the sale of household commodities will be opened by the Department and the commodities from the Departments surplus stocks will be sold.
 These stores will be in the large cities and will also fill mail orders.
