hard at school (oh, yes, some children
do work hard at schoo) become pale

with their usual big appetites, and so
they become thin and tire out easily.
There is "a simple and good remedy
Cor this. 1t is Guides Pepto-Mangan,
the tonic rich in acertain form of iron
that is readily absorbed by the sys-
tenn. GUIDES Pepto-Mangan will soon
put the color back into the children's
checks and give them the kind of an
appetite every mother loves to see.

EDITORIAL
THE JAZZ ANTIDOTE.

TAZZ music, imported from the UNI
- derworld dives of Buenos Aires,
began to sweep America in 1913.
Sailors brought it into New Or
leans. 1t spread up the Mississippi
river. Negro roustabouts on the lev
ees chanted new varieties of jazz
"blues."
Tramps, in their camps, which they
call "jungles,' caught the infection.
They called jazz "snowbird music"
snow being the underworld
name for cocaine and "snowbird
meaning dope fiend.
Infectiously the epidemic of jazz
spread over the country, evolving
from jazz melodies to form of
jazz life characterized by fatalism,
indifference, reck1essness and immor.
atty.
Simultaneously, the jazz germ
swept Europe. In "The -Four Horse
men of the Apocalypse" you read
Ibanez's fine description of France
being worked to high pitch of jazz
emotionalism.
Psychiatrists recognized the jazz
epidemic as one of the peculiar waves
of social neurasthenia, or hysteria,
which periodically sweep countries or
even the whole world. The tango
craze was one of these psychic cpl
denies.
The international wave of social
hysteria eliminated in the World
War, violent international insanity.
The reaction is on. World sobers.
Nerves calm slowly down. People
are becoming normal again-think-
ing healthy thoughts. Jazz is pass
ing.
During the jazz epidemic there has
been lot of worrying about Young
America. Youth in general seemed
to have gone off on tangent of
wild prodigalism.
One morning the country woke up
and was amazed to learn that the
youngsters had gone crazy on wire
less. The radiophone had corralled
juvenile enthusiasm.
The wireless craze has developed
far enough to show that it's going
to be the most powerful antidote
against jazz. The lad who is tink-
ering with Herbzian waves has his
feet on the ground, is thinking clear
thoughts, training his brain, soaking
up useful knowledge.
The wireless fan is vaccinatec
against jazz, just as boys Of a gen
Grafton ago were kept in healthy
normal mental state by playing In
dian, building shanties, collectine
bones and old junk in alleys, listen
ing to street takers, staging amateur
minstrel shows, stringing toy tele
graphs.
We are foolish lot of sheep, w
humans. But a kindly providenc,
shepherds us, bringing us back to tn
fold when we stray too far from nor

WHY NOT CUT DOWN ARMY?

The French minister of the devas- tated regions is reported ass declaring that France can never pay the debt of three and half billion dollars to the United States. Well, Germany said the same thing about her debts, but is get ting in and making good It is unfortu- nate that France should make state- ment of this sort on the eve of nego- tiations for the refunding of all the debts to this country. Arguments bas- ed upon it, however, would have more weight if there was more effort in France to reduce the cost of her mili- tasy operations and apply the money to economic rehabilitation.
 In the event of another war this country will probably not be in such haste to offer it's resources and fin- ances without first requiring security.

and Fairbanks are greatly benefited by the railroad but "a great area of the Interior receives no such benefit and in fact under present conditions is in- jured rather than benefited. The req. son for this is the lack of transporta tion from the end of steel to various points along the great waterways of the interior. Before the coming of the railroad the service maintained by the Alaska Commercial Company and the White Pass company served all camps up and down the, rivers and at a rate much lower than they can now be served by the government railroad.
 A great section of the Interior will be forced to depend on the railroad for their freight and some means of transportation must be established to distribute the freight from the rail- road at Nenana and Fairbanks to vari- ous points along the waterways of the
 . x A t. .r. A Interior. If the matter is left to pri- vate enterprise the rates that will be charged will work untold hardship on many interior sections.
 The only solution of the situation is for the railroad to establish and main tain feeders to the railroad at Nenana
 
 and Fairbanks. The railroad must maintain boats to take the freight from the end of steel to points along the rivers or else the greater part Of the Interior of Alaska will suffer from higher freight rates than ever.
 It is not only at the en0.Am steel that feeders must tbe established in

order to realize the greatest benefits from the railroad. Branch lines and wagon roads must be built out from the main line to adjoining sections One of the first branches to be con. sidered Is into the Kantishna country This section has promise of being the greatest source of revenue for the railroad than any so far discovered Prospectors have discovered what ap- pears to be one of the greatest silver camps in the world and gold prospects in the same section are very promis- ing. At present very little can be done in the section because of lack of transportation. Tn eheart of the nan- tishna country is not far from the mainline 0f the railroad and branch line into it would not be very ex- pensive undertaking and 1t it is quite likely that such a branch will be built in the near future
 The Alaska Engineering Commission has realized the needs of the branches and feeders to the main line and all it requires is the proper authority and appropriations to carry on such work
 After making an investment of over fifty million dollars the Government is not going to make any return on the investment unless the country tribu- tary to the railroad is developed. The building of wagon roads and branch lines is only part of the necessary work to be done for the development of this country. Cheap transportation colonization and every encouragement
