sKAGwAY STILL ON THE MAP

 The Skagway Alaskan wants it distinctly under sodd that Skagway is still the map, and it will require than the removal of two three busi- houses to take it off The Alaskan says:
 Although couple of the old busi
 houses moving away there still
 remains in Skagway than twenty-two
 mercantile establishments, large and small
 with electric power aud lighting plant
 the head offices of thew F., and Y Route E the large shops of the company with
 the wharf and ore bunkers, picture show,
 the head office of the Bank of Alaska which
 has branches in Wrargell, Cordova and An
 chorage, large cold Storage plant, trans
 portaton offices of the big steamship com
 panies and many other industries such
 laundries, market gardens coal and wood
 yards transfer companies, the oldest daily
 newspaper in Alaska, etc.
 And the Alaskan is correct. Skagway has had her "ups and downs like most towns. She has not had many ups the spirit of her enterprsing citizens would entitle her to, the country to which she is gateway would warrant. There is town in Alaska which hit harder by war than Skagway. Yukon Territory and Northern Brit sh Columbia drained of power for four long years and that is the country that Skagway depends upon most.
 But Skagway will come back She is the gate way to a resourceful section of the North and she is peopled with pretty good stayers, They deserve well, and let us hope they get their deserts.

 We ourselves have experienced some such re markable discoveries in the army but then are, frankly democracy; while, in Great Britain, up to 1914 the army class affair.

Splendid Way To
Reduce Your Weight

There is perhaps no one thing that
so plainly shows the passing of our
youth as the horrible tendency to put
ON too much weight after we have
reached the age of % or so years.
However young our faces may appear.
the sagging, tiabby figure and forty
inch waist gives us away"
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the food
we eat into fat because there is not
enough oxygen in the blood to pro-
duce proper combustion to destroy
the excess fatty tissue. Fat people
Will be pleased to learn of a simple
home method that is wonderfully cf-
I ficient in reducing weight, quickly
! and easily without a starving diet
violent massage or strenuous eXer-
else. Go to any drug store and get
box of Phynola: take five grains
after each meal and at bed time. This
treatment will often give quick re-
lief from overburdening fat Ply
nola taken at meal time assists the
stomach in giving you the benefit OF
the food YOU eat; at the same time
diSSolves the fatty tissue from any
part of the body where there is eXces-
sive fat. BY this method many have

TURN TO RIGHT"
AT THE ORPHEUM
Exceptional Comedy With the
Fragrance of the Country,
at Local Theater

Taken all in all, Turn to the
Right" is one of the best come
dies that has been shown at the Or
pheum Theater this season. The
support of the stars is excellent and
the stellar attractions are of the very
first class.
Utterly devoid of the cheap, senti-
mental, STACEY" sort of rustic at
mosphere is this beautiful and happy
little Offering. The affections of the
country Reuben, the simperings of
the silly country maid are not in evil
dence. In their place there is a true
to-life Interpretation of the various
country characters by people who
eyldently have lived in the place
Whar the han o. God is seen"
The play is full of old-fashioned ro-
nance, and the fragrance of the
peach blossom pervades the comedy.
There are tense moments when the
eyes brim with tears, suddenly re-
lleVed by such uproariouSly funny
situations that the house is nearly
capsized with laughter.
1t is simply the story of a way
ward son, the village ne'er-do-welI.
who went away, was sentenced to
Sing Sing for year, and how he re-
turned to find his sweetheart true to
him, after all sorts of mishaps. Two
old prison pals turn to the right"
with him when they find a way to
make a new kind of peach Jam
Which results in happiness for all.
Winchell Smith and John L. HaZ-
ard have written the play, and in it
there is founr a touch of the
same genius which marked Mr..
Smiths work in The Boomerang"
Mike Donlin, noted baseball play
er, takes the part of Muggs. Jaspn
Robards is Joe Bacom," and Dewitt
Newling plays "Gilly," the three
prison pals. Edgar Nelson is up
roariously funny in Sam Martin"
while James II. HuntIey plays
faithfully the part of Deacon Til
linger," the country storekeeper.
In the rule of Mrs. Bascom Ruth
Chester plays mpathetically as
gray-haired country mother who is
always looking at the silver lining in
the cloud.
Alice Carroll plays the part of
Elsie Tillinger, and deserves spe-
cial mention for really splendid in
depreciation. Cecil Dwight is very
good as Betty Bacom," Maude Fox
is the role of Jessie Strong and Rita
Ross plays Katie"
For those who have lived in the
country and can understand the life
there, the play will bring the tears,
and for those who live in the city,
it is a springtime tonic that is badly
needed. Few plays have been writ
ten with so rare an understanding of
the life outside of the cities and Har-
risburgers will find this one of the
best plays they have ever witnessed

SOLDIERS TO GET
BACK TO FARMS
Government Makes Loans to
Men Who Helped to
Win the War

Ottawa, May 2.-Twelve hundred
Canadian soldiers so far have taken

these men who have stepped from

the most part farmers sons, men
who had worked on farms before go>

drifted into the cities and wished to
go back upon the land.
These facts were given out at OF
