 Alaska is, naturally, paradise for goats. The best of all milk for growing children is goats milk, so many wise mothers declare Therefore, every family in Alaska should have its milch goat.
 Enough food is wasted right now in Cor dova tc keep a fat goat for every family 1n| town.
 Enough said. Let's go to it.
 "Joe" Smith, well known editor, tiring| of the strife of life in Seattle, retired some| time ago to a ranch on the Sound and isl raising thoroughbred goats for particular fam flies; that is, for parents who are keen to pro- vide a quart of rich milk every day for each child in the household. Every call for fam fly goat in response to this suggestion, will be forwarded to MT. Smith, together with spec ifications. ,
 Goats aren't costly, and they are prolific. Don't consider them from the moneymaklng standpoint, but for the milk.
 At a recent baby clinic in Astoria theI champion boy, a two-year-old, was a wonder| in physical and mental development. He was the son of 17-year-old mother and 19-year old "Dad' He was veritable little Hercules.
 "Goat' milk did it,' the charming mother said. sA2.z s>:,E sss"5 @'T"zz7r- -rs~~,~ '+r~
 Cows are scarce and costly. Goats are cheap and plentiful Let's have 'em
 A milch goat can be kept in the back yard, or in an ante-room to the residence for that matter.
 When the imperative need of giving each growing child quart of milk a day is under stood by the mothers,-and the doctors will II ,1 4hoxv will hoctI tbaD1- selves. in defense of their young, to acquire a family goat.
 1TBut me no buts,'' will say the determined matron, "but get the goat, or a pair of them, and let s make superkids out of our children.
 The climate here and outdoor life put the sparkle in the eyes and the roses Tn the cheeks of our children, but quart of rich goats milk every day will promote most astonishing mental and physical development The sclen- tific tests have demonstrated this certainty, and there's a nation nwide appeal launched by doctors and welfare workers, for every family to maintain a COW or a goat.
 Give our children the best possible chance in life. They will be the men and women of a great period of world strife, in all probability, in which they will need every ounce of phys teal and mental power. They are fated to- fight out the problems which men of today have found to be impossible. America requires a generation of supermen and super-women Our country has the "makin' s" in our super for product of boys and girls They must not be neglected. The main thing is to feed and clothe them properly, and recent survey byI the Government shows that the average par ents don't know how to feed a child.
 Referring again to a recent baby cl1nc m Astoria, one sweet little mother was found who couldn't imagine what was ailing her baby. What was she feeding him? "Oh, milk-when he would drink it-weak coffee friccassled steak, pickles and pie"
 There sat the baby,-hardly able to stand ''loney, "-his big blue eyes appealing for sweet pickles, nervous, fretful, ailing and de- ficent All due to the ignorance of the dot ing mother. She was an exception, of course, but millions of mothers give coffee and tea to their children. A great majority, the survey shows, fail to realize the imperative need of al quart of milk daily for each growing child.
 CORDOVA'S SPRING CLEANUP is an epic of its kind when it starts. The high snow banks would seem the despair of street superintendent but here 1t is a simple task
