Sl0duGIS, 1OI llClC 10 q oIl1p VI le1AA ing for the full distance, on which all kinds of farm products can be grown. Dairy farming would be one of the first industries to spring up. Visitors and residents of the Kenai peninsula regions are authority for the statement, that this district is perhaps the most ideal spot in the entire Territory of Alaska for stock raising and diversified farming. The coal fields near Homer would un- doubtedly be developed; at the pres ent writing there are some twenty fox and fur farms and ranches from Ke- mai to Kamachak Bay; the many fish, canneries would have an overland out let which would, in many cases, some time save them weeks of time in comparison to present conditions.
 From a tourist standpoint a trip over such a proposed road could not be surpassed for gorgeousness Of sec uCTY LuIuOuI lCo CulAi iCA6 Ol. 61t Russian Lake, Skilak Lake and Tus- tumena Lake, there are ideal Ioca- tions for hunting lodges. A number of these are to be constructed this winter, it is stated, for in this dis trict big game rebound aplenty and hunting unexcelled. Numerous nation ally known big game hunters have made the above assertion. Here are found in abundance, moose, goats, sheep, brown and black bear. The latter lake would be but a short dis tance from the proposed route, given later in this article. The fishing is also unsurpassed, and that is saying a good deal for any portion of the Territory. The lakes and streams are fairly alive with fish,
 With the road constructed to Ke- mai river there would be but twelve miles of road left to be built to con- meet up the Moose Pass Highway. In this manner of connecting up the system with the Seward system it would be made possible to ride in an auto from Seward, driving clear thru, passing one of the finest quartz and placer districts in Alaska, for additional length of fifty-four miles.
 This project would be of great as- sistance to a pulp mill, the con- struction of which has been under contemplation for some time. Should a pulp mill be erected, 1t is the in- tention to construct a power plant at Kenai river. Supplies could be brought in with the least possible expense. The transmission line from the power plant would have to fol- low this route, for it would reduce to a great extent, the cost of con- struction and make the line acces- sible for patrol during maintenance.
 The town of Kenai has a popula- tion of approximately 500 inhabitants;
 
 Point 20; and at Homer about 200. These people have no means of con- munication or travel except by boat on Cook Inlet, which, during cer- tain seasons of each year, is an ex- tremely hazardous body of water. During the winter months especially a large part of Cook Inlet is cut off from other sources, due to ice con- ditions and prevailing storms. Mail, in the winter months, arrives at these outlying places by dog teams, via Seward-Lake Kenai, thence down to the town of Kenai, very long, tedious and dangerous route. Lake Kenai in some years, does not freeze over until late and it generally takes a dog team at least a week to make the trip one way. If the proposed road was constructed mail could be

What Causes Taxation?

Canada has a net debt of 81, 378,-
100000; a decrease of S11,000,000 for
the year ending June 30. At this
rate of decrease, it would take 200
years to pay it all off. 1t has been
estimated that the United States debt
could be paid off inside the next 20
years.
Canada has a government owned
railroad system and the widely adver-
tised governmentally owned Ontario
Hydro Electric System.
While government ownership and
operation of such properties is not
responsible for all of Canada's great
debt, it is responsible for a heavy
drain on the taxpayers which is not
felt in the United States, where
private industry operates the rail
roads and electric companies and
gives as good or better service than
that prevailing in Canada.
American private industry, CORES
ponding to the Canadian properties
mentioned, pays to our government
millions of dollars year in taxes, in
stead of being taX-eXempt as would
be the case under government owner
ship.

BRUTAL TREATMENTS
FALSE STATEMENT

To the Editor of The Republican.
In filing suit for divorce in the Cir
cult Court Of Allegany county, Nd,
our father, A. F. kimmell, d. c., now
residing at Westernport, Md, accuses
our mother, his wife, of brutal treat
ment. This is absolutely false Our
mother, and we, his children, have
suffered at his hands extreme cruelty,
both physically and mentally. The
records in the court at Oakland, Md,
will show why it was necessary for
DR.. A. F Kimmell to leave his home
in Oakland; also the reason his prac-
tice was broken up.

Fire Prevention

Insurance companies, state inSur-
ance departments, city governments
and large private industries all CO.
operate to prevent destruction of
property by fire.
AS the largest corporations employ
legal talent to prevent litigation, so
the insurance companies employ eX-
perts in fire prevention campaigns.
Active fire prevention work was not
taken up Systematically in our coun-
try until about 1915. At first. many
property owners resisted having in
spectators visit their homes, base
ments and Office buildings to point out
fire hazards and suggest changes.
The first idea was that, since in
surance companies collected prem
iums on risks to pay the losses, let
the building burn and put new money
into circulation to employ more labor.
They overlooked the great fact that
every dollar Of fire loss had to be col
lected first from the public, and the
more fires the higher insurance rates
Cities that put on fire prevention
campaigns cut fire losses that
averaged from SO to 81 per capita
annually to about 80 cents per capita
The fire loss in the United States
last year was about S54S, 100000, and
about $4,000 lives There is still room
for fire prevention. Where it is not
undertaken voluntarily, It should be
made compulsory.

Why Mislead Farmer and
Workman?

When our present tariff system was
framed, between forty and fifty of the
principal agricultural organizations
of the country were represented at
the hearings before the Ways and
Means Committee They succeeded in
carrying all their points with the re-
suit that practically everything the
farmer buys for use on his farm was
placed on the free list, and everything
the farmer raises for sale was put on
the protected list
In spite of all the political talk to
the contrary, it is safe to say that the
general opinion of the informed farm
er is, that our present tariff laws are
as nearly perfect from the point of
view of the farmer as it is possible
to make them.
To open the flood gates Of Europe
and the Orient and abolish the tariff
on wheat and other cereals, wool, but
ter. eggs, cheese, citrus fruits, sugar
and a hundred other things that the
farmer raises which are now protect
ed, would be a calamity for the farm
er just as he is beginning to get on
his feet.
A blow at the tariff protection to
American industry is a blow at the
factory worker, which in turn is a
blow to the farmer, because American
workmen comprise the biggest
market for American farm products,
The sooner the public, the laboring
man, and the farmer realizes these
homely facts. the sooner will the
tariff question be taken out of poll
tics and considered purely as a scien-
tifc business problem, to be changed
only as varying conditions warrant
a reconsideration of rate schedules.

JAMESTOWN PLAYERS
TO BE AT MT. LAKE PARK
Where They Will Present a Di-
alect Play, ''Bunty Pulls
The Strings"

"Bunty Pulls The Strings" come
dy in three acts, will be given in the
Mountain Lake Park Amphitheatre
Friday night, August 21st, under the
auspices of the Women's Civic Club
an organization which has always
worked for the betterment of the COM
munity.
The play is given entirely in Scotch
dialect, in itself an art,-the players,
memebers of the Dramatic Club OF
jamestown, N. Y, portraying each
character wildly and with admirable
finish. The story is laid in Scotland
sixty years ago. No other race Is
more universally loved than is the
Scotch. Religion, fervor, tenacity to
principles and the homely thrift are
national traits, but the play never ap-
proaches within a thousand miles of
seriousness and gets its comic charac-
ter from the exploitation of these
same we'll known Scotch traits.
The central figure, "Bunty," is a
self-confdent young lady of great
beauty who depends upon herself for
getting everyone out of trouble, and
thru her. the father, Tammas Big
ger. is rescued from the clutches of a
designing old maid and is finally re-
stored to former love whom he de-
serted in his youth at the altar. Bun
ty not only manages her father, but
her fancee, Welum Sprunt, who is the
shining light of piety in the village
and has become an elder at 90
There is much excitement on the
first day at the collection plate when
Susie Simpson accuses Tammas Big
ger of the theft of her money. Only
after Bunty arrives is the snarl un-
tangled and only thru her sacrifice is
her father made comfortable. But in
pulling the strings for the others she
finally manages to work out the solu-
ton of her own future happiness, SO
that Weelum is content to be the
"maist henpecked man in Scotland
There is, of course, much more to
be said of other characters. However,
to become acquainted it is necessary

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Leo.
Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
very favorable and the vibrations
stimulating. In all fields of endeavor
or enterprise success is practically as
sured. In business good fortune awaits
the action you take. In sports YOU
will triumph where before You failed.
In the home and social circle there
will be neither disa ppointment nor
chaerin. 1t is an exceptionally au-
spicious opportunity for the 'plighting
OF troths" or for marriage. Any en-.
saments entered into will end in quick
and happy mating. All those who we'd
tomorrow are, according to the signs
assured of partnership that will
yield a large net income of content
ment and love.
A boy born tomorrow will be physi
cally strong and healthy, and the few
ailments from which he may suffer
need cause neither anxiety nor alarm.
On the other hand. girl will show
signs of weakness, but. given regular
care and nutrition. she will attain q
normal womanhood. They both will
be blessed with pleasing dispositions,
but they will be more lazy than studi-
Gus or Industrious. They will not be
ambitious, but will show every evil
dence of being satisfied with condi-
tjoIiS as lItN dc- dlfU. dbpNe ali, Win
themselves. In spite of disinclina-
ton to work or to persevere, they will
be happy and lead contented lives.
II tomorrow is your birthday ami
versary. you have remarkable intui-
tive powers. and as a result Of the in
variable correctness of your judgment
you are looked upon by your friends
as something of an oracle. You also
possess a very persuasive manner.
both in act and speech, that enables
you to make others see as you see and
think as you think. If to these two
very valuable ingredients of either So
cial or business success you would
add energy and persistency, much
could be accomplished. You, however,
are lakadaisical and very keen to put

West Thirty-ninth street. New York City.
MY mother has been having a form
of eczema on the foreflnger. 1t is
getting worse. and ! think a correct
diet would cure it. l would appreciate
some suggestions.-Mr. r. w.
! advise the omission Of all meats,
shell fish. buckwheat, eggs and posi-
bly, milk.
One of the first things Ia to see that
the diet is changed so that there is no
danger of putrefaction in the intes-
tines. This can often be accomplished
by free use of butternfilk. 1t is also
possible TO obtain acidophilous milk,
which is a special preparation and
which gives the intestines new sup
ply of the normal bacteria which they
should have in order to complete their
work
Your mother might try choosing her
diet from the following list: Negeta-
BILE broths made without meat stock
or milk, graham bread toasted, Dut-
termilk fresh and cooked fruits, fruit
gelatins and ices, marmalades made
from dates. figs. prunes and raisins;
fresh butter. cottage cheese, cucum-
bers ripe olives. shredded raw tur-
nips. shredded raw cabbage and vege
table salads.
Would you please tell me what diet
is good for fermentation OF food and
gas in the stomach and bowels?-McC.
The type of fermentation varies
with the individual. Without know
ing little more about your case l
can only give you very general sug-
gestions. II the fermentation comes
from too little gastric juice the break
fast fruit had better be one OF the
sub-acid varieties, such as baked
sweet apples or stewed raisins. II 1t
comes from an excess of gastric juice.
then almost any of the tart fruits are
in order.
In either case try crisply prepared
cereals instead of home cooked
mushes. Have the bread crisp and
well baked or toasted. Eat lightly of
fats and let the chief fat be fresh
butter.
Eat only very plain meats in mod
crate quantities-for example,, the
lean part of broiled chop or a bit
OF steak or a slice of roast beef or
lamb. Have fruit desserts prefer
ably Of cooked fruits. Limit tea and
