news from 2,571 doctors. For coffee, they
say, is not only good, but good for you-if

There is only one thing to fear in coffee.
The so-called ills Of coffee such as indiges-

doubtful coffee. But the worlds finest
coffee, the coffee with the finest flavor and
the greatest inauguration, is free from these.
Any normal person can drink all he wants
within reason. And that is why thousands
are changing to Folger's.

From Central America

Folger's is not just another brand Of coffee.
1t is a different kind Of coffee. There are
thousands Of brands Of coffee in the mar
ket, but they most all come from prac-
tically the same place and are about the
same grade. Folger's is made from Central
American coffee-high-grown, which, ex-
perts and doctors agree, is free from the
so-called coffee ills. And Folger's is packed
in key-opening vacuum tins. Any can you
buy is always fresh. As fresh as it was 80
minutes after it left the rooster.

RENo's OTHER SIDE

Reno, advertising it's wide-open gambling, its swift divorces, it's defiance of prohibition, its willing ness to let people alone to amuse themselves in their own way, will put ideas into the heads of a great many other towns.
 Apparently. Reno prospers. There are no vacant homes or stores. Tour ists spend their money with gay abandon. Wealthy people. bored with their mates, shed dollars mag nifieently. Merchants toss red-ink bottles out of the back door. Boot leggers order flocks of new Pack ards. Faro dealers casually buy diamonds.
 Upon all this gaudy prosperity chambers of commerce in many a western town must be casting an en- vious eye. Many a mayor must be asking himself, speculatively; "If Reno can get away with 1t 2"
 What lesson may be drawn from Reno's filtration with Satan we don't know All we know Is that the boys down there certainly had an idea; and that the idea works.
 But we suspect there is another side. to Reno's picture-and that it isn't pretty. And we think that, in the long run, our own city, or any other, will get farther and fare bet ter by sticking to solid, legitimate things instead of going into the business of facilitating the wasting of money.-Ketchikan Tribune.

once more. Recovery will be slow. !"
 5. "Conditions abroad will con tinue to affect our business here. It is a conservative estimate to say that ten years must elapse before we can see genuinely prosperous business in this country"
 $. Business will come back to fair, slow operations in three years. !"
 2. "The period of readjustment will be long. It will take at least ten years"
 s. "We may expect a slow return to a basis in which business can be done at a profit in about three years"
 These pessimistic forecasts were all made on the 4th of Novem- Der. BUTT WAS THE 4th DAY OF NOVEMBER OF THE YEAR 1921i
 At that very time business was actually improving although the ex- perts did not know it. Within four months the gain was so marked that everybody could see it. Within sixteen months, business was so far above normal that the experts be- came frightened again, yet the pe- riod from 1928 to 1928 inclusive stands out as the brightest spot upon the map of modern business history.
 TODAY, THE MAJOR ECONOMIC FACTORS ARE MORE FAVORABLE TO RAPID RECOVERY OF BUSI- NESS THAN THEY WERE AT THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR 1921.

to the chair as President of the body"
 The Division of Information and Publication of the United States George Washington Bieentennial Commission notes the importance of this date, in the history of this country, and calls attention to the fact that it is to be the occasion for suitable ceremonies in connection with the nationwide celebration next yean of the Two Hundredth An niyersary of the Birth of George Washington.
 The bicentenary observance of the birth of the First President has been planned to extend to every corner of the United States. It will begin on February 22 and continue until the following Thanksgiving Day. It will embrace eveny phase of Wash ington's life and include in it's pro- grams the recognition of his great services to this country.
 The records of the Convention consisting of the official journal and the unofficial shorthand notes made by James Madison, record only one occasion when Washington made a suggestion in the Convention as to a point in the Constitution. There can be no doubt, however, that he was in constant touch with the leaders of the Convention and that his counsel was taken upon many important clauses of the document as finally completed.
 It is impossible to oyerestimate the influence George Washington wield- ed in the framing of the Constitu- tion. The part he played in the creation of this great instrument of government did not consist of i'm passioned oratory or spacious argu- ment. It was solely the silent in fluence of an unassailable character.
 When the delegates came to the Convention many of them were de- termined not to surrender the au- thority of the separate States to any form of central government; but the realization that George Wash ington would be the first executive under the Constitution led them to abandon their objections and confer on the President more power than they at first had any idea of grant ing It may be said that the Presi- dency of the United States yves created with George Washington as the ideal type of man who should fill that office.

GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE
 CONSTITUTION

One of the most momentous gath erings ever to convene on this con tinent assembled in Philadelphia, May 25, 1877. It was the Constitu
 tional Convention which was called by the Continental Congress to con- slider the amendment of the Articles of Confederation or the creation of a new instrument of government by which the United States might be better consolidated and the public affairs more efficiently administered.
 The foremost men of the country were there, but conspicuous above all the rest was George Washing ton. the former Commander-in-Chief of the Continental armies under whose leadership independence had been won. It was inevitable that he should take a leading part in erecting a suitable government for the country he had saved, and as soon as the Convention could organ ize he was unanimously "called up

"A group of leading financial statisticians, experts in forecasting business, met in New York City on November 4th. This is what eight of these experts said:
 1. "The farmers will not buy much from the proceeds of this har- vest; and with the price declines in process throughout the world there would seem to be little pros pect Of any extensive business re- VivaI in the near future"
 2. "The general prospect is for slow and irregular business for ten years"

PAY TRIBUTE AT PATRIOT
 GRAVES

Americas pre-eminence among the nations could not have been attained without fighting. War is detestable, but Americas wars have been neces- sary not only for normal national progress, but also for sheer self-pres- ervation. War marked the birth of the Republic. War to save the Re- public from disintegration could not be averted. War to assert the Re- public's dignity and to uphold the ideal of democracy against the as saults of arrogant autocracy gave the United States new claims to greatness.
 War is detestable, for it is essen- tially savage. Men in wars are de- voted to the work of killing. They expose themselves to the chance Of being killed by men whom they have never seen and against whom they have no personal enmity. And, worst of all, in war might makes right, and victory may be a triumph of in. justice. Because war is an abom- ination the nations gratitude to the men who have fought Americas great wars is all the more profound. And the nations debt to men who have given their lives is too great ever to be paid.
 It is at best but a poor tribute that we can pay on Memorial day. The flowers with which we cover the graves cannot restore the joy of . life to young men whose sacrifice has made our own lives livable. Our tribute is a rite. It is our expres- sion of appreciation, and at the same time it assuages a certain hurt in our own consciencss. It goes a little way toward making us feel a little less callous and selfish in not remembering every day instead of one day year.
 Surely it is not too much for every one to contribute a little to the ob- serYance of the one day devoted to the memory of those who have given everything for us. Memorial day should not be regarded merely as 8 holiday, "a day for merrymaking and recreation. Its significance is too much forgotten; it is the way of hu- man nature to forget that which is not joyous and to seize for pleasure any moment which offers. Today let us remember. Let us not smugly step aside and leave observance to the few who feel its true meaning, but let us all give serious thought to the greatness of our debt. Mem- orial day thus solemnized must make the United States a finer nation and the people of the United States worthier of the inestimable privi- leges which have been won and safeguarded for them by the men who lie in patriot graVes.-Ex- change.

A SOURD0UGH CUPID

4 director of census report, filed recently, shows that there are fawer bachelors and spinsters among the residents of Alaska than in any of the outside states. Of the 14,S1S fe- males in the Territory over 15 years of age, over TOP per cent were mar ried; and probably. the other 29.7 per cent were anxiously hunting for husband. The fires Of love appar- ently, burn as brightly in Alaska as in more favored climes. Only per cent of the total number remaining were widows and but 1.6 per cent were divorced.
 Taking the above figures as a basis, there seem to be far fewer di- vorees in the Territory than are found in any Outside states except Nevada. The returns from the last named state are undoubtedly pad ded, as large number of the di- vorcers are repeaters.
 With the matrimonial figures we have no interest. Almost anyone nowadays can get married. All it takes is girl and father-in-law able to support groom in the style to which he is accustomed. But to get married and stay married in these parlous days af lounge lizards and gigolos-aye, there's the rub.
 The reason fewer Alaskan wo- men seek the solace of the divorce court is so plain that he who runs may read. Our wives are kept so busy during their waking hours that they have no time for idle dalliance. A woman who arises early and makes the fires, shovels off the walks, cooks the meals, dresses the kids, washes the dishes, and does the thousand and one other little chores that falls to the lot of the average housekeeper, has but little time, after sixteen hours of pleasur- able recreation to do anything but stay put, at home.
 We sourdoughs may be short on looks but we are long on sense, when 1t comes to handling the weaker sex. If they get anxious for the bright lights we give them a few more chores to do and go back to our pan game with the thought
