Panama River
 Natives Suffer Scarlet Fever

Almost 50 natives of the Upper Tanana River villages of Tetlir and Tanacross were reported Monday victims of an epidemic believed to be scarlet fever.
 To date no patients have been lost, according to Miss Lucille Wright, United State government nurse in charge of the public health in the two river commun ities, 40 miles apart by air.
 Dr. F B Gillespie, deputy health commissioner for the 4th Division. said in Fairbanks that his communications with Miss Wright indicated the natives were suffering either from scarlet fe- yer or a streptoccoccus throat in lection accompanied by second ary skin rash.
 Pilot Herman Joslyn, of Wien AirlineS, who flew mail and med icine into the villages reported Miss Wright told him there were about 40 cases of the ailment in Tetlin and eight at Tanacross.
 She said the suffering natives in Tetlin represented about half the population of the village.
 A 2O0-pound load of mail which Joslyn brought to Fair banks was refused by the post office, and remained at the air port until arrangements are made for it's sterilization.
 Fairbanks Health Center at tendants said the mail will be disinfected by placing it in an autoclave sterilizer before dis tribution in the postoffice.
 Several hundred pounds of val uable furs were Tuesday added to the list of "untouchables' which arrived in Fairbanks with large load of mail Sunday from the epidemic-stricken native vii lages of Tetlin and Tanacross.
 Believed bound for fur ex- changes in the States, the pelts trapped by natives in the river communities now swept by dis ease diagnosed as scarlet fever, may not be forwarded by post office authorities for a "quaran- tine period" of approximately 3 weeks.

 Only Alois Lang, who was to have portrayed Christ this year, has been allowed to remain un- shaven and unclipped. He served in the Alpine division during the World War.

PROMPT PAYMENTS WILL SAVE EMPLOYERS MONEY

Employers subject for contrib utions under the Alaska Unem- ployment Compensation Law were reminded today by Walter J. Sharpe, Director of the Alaska Unemployment Go m p ensation Commission, that payment of fourth quarter and all 1889 de linquent contributions before the headline January 31, 1940, will save them many dollars and pre- clude the unpleasant penalty of paying double taxation.
 ...."The Federal Government i'm poses a uniform payroll tax on all employers of eight or more workers" said MT. Sharpe. "This excise tax in 1889 was per cent. However, since Alaska has an unemployment compensation act each subject employer under the Territorial law may deduct from this tax up to 90 percent of its amount, his own contributions to the Alaska unemployment com pensation trust fund. In other words, he pays only three tenths of one percent to the Federal Government.
 Employers will realize the nee essity for the prompt payment of
The Nome nugget., 1940-01-19

thelr l939 contributions when they know that before they can take credit on their Federal tax for the amount they have paid to the Territorial fund, the Territor lal division must certify to the Federal Government the exact amount of their payments"
 To take advantage of the maxi mum Federal credit allowance employers must have contribu- tions for the fourth quarter and pevious quarters in the mails and bearing a post mark before mid night, January 31, l940.
 MT. Sharpe is most anxious that this double tax shall not be imposed upon any Alaskan en- ployers.
 All employers reported as coy cred by the Alaska law have been provided with forms on which to make their fourth quar ter contributions reports as well as quarterly reports of wages earn ed by workers in thei employ. Contributions to the Alaska un trust funds are com puted on wages payable when eaned by the worker and not when actually paid to the work CT.

NAILS WARN U. S.
OF BRITISH PLOT
Allies Are Charged With
Sending Spies To
Americas

WASHINGTON, June 4-P)-Ger-
many has informed the United States
government it has information that
the British and French governments
have sent agents to South Ameri-
can countries and the Panama canal
zone to give the impression that a
great many German agents were
operating there.
The notice was in the form Of a
memorandum presented to the state
department by Hans Thomson,
charge d'affaires at the German EN-,
bassy.
The memorandum, officials said,
merely gave a general indication that
the German government was in pos
session of the information. It did not
give any details Us to operations of
the supposed agents nor indicate the
source of the reports.
Also today, the American embassy
in Berlin t~elegraphed the state de-
partment it had been handed a copy
of a press announcement by the Ger
man official news organization, DNB,
that Berlin and France intended to
sink the American liners Washing
ton, Manhattan and President Roose-
welt which are now engaged in re-
moving Americans from Europe.

Rv HENRY AVERILL

RALEIGH, June 4.-Decision o.
Lieutenant Governor Wilkins P. Hor
ton not to call for a second PR
mary with J. Melville Broughtor
has left all hands and the political
cooks specializing wildly as to why's
and wherefores.
Had Horton said early last wee
he wouldn't run, there would mol
have been nearly so much cause Tor
the speculation, but political observ-
ers and commentators are 1lndlns
it hard to take the Horton renuncla'
ton statement at it's full face value
that is. all except the part about
the money.
That count it is generally believed
to be the decisive one. Horton knew
last week, just as well as now,
whether his candidacy would PRO
mote harmony" in the party. He
knew then, Just as well as he knows
now that world conditions and their
prospective reflection 49,. make po-
litical battles appear to lose some
of their significance"
Those were the first of three as
sicned reasons. The third at is ever
more true that a campaign is very
EXPENSIVE" There was the rub, in
the opinion of practically all who
have been heard by this reporter
to express an opinion.
1t seems quite likely that last
week the lieutenant governor was
confident that important financial
interests would line up solldly be-
hind him in order to forestall the
possibility of the states getting a
modified Mcdonald" form of gov
eminent. Those interests are now
believed to have decided against toss
ing perfectly good money into al
campaign to tip the scales away
from a 40, 900 vote material and psy-
Geological advantage. They figured
it couldn't be done, and gave up
the idea.
The attempt to beat Broughton
the grounds he is lined up with
Mcdonald would have been doubly
DANGEROUS, because if it failed-as
political seers were practically unan-
imous in predicting it would fall
Mcdonald, the very man it was de-
to discredit, would thereby
have received the best vote of con-
fidence he could possibly have re-
In short, to try to whip McDon-
aid, through Broughton, was too
dangerous a maneuver. If it failed,
It would be almost like handing the
1914 gupernatorial nomination to
Mcdonald on a silver platter.

Medical Care
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D

Tea, like coffee, increases the
rate and strength of the heart, it
causes mental stimulation because
the blood flows through the brain
faster, and it causes elimination
through the kidneys by increasing
blood flow there.
Personally, 1 prefer coffee and
only drink tea in those countries
where coffee is an undrinkable bev-
erage. The cup of slop they give
you in some countries and call cof-
fee is something that a little boy
would make to play a joke on his
grandmother. On ships returning
from Europe in the old days, there
used to come a look over the faces
Of the Americans about the second
day out which we called the "cof-
fee look" They were returning to
the land which was to them not
only the land of freedom, but the
land of coffee.
After knowing what good coffee
is, l am expressing a purely per-
sonal opinion when I say that
drinking tea is like kissing your
sister. I see no reason for the
vogue of iced tea. However, for
those who like it, it is a good drink
and it has the same advantages
for middle-aged people as coffee.
1t is a somewhat more aristo-
cratic drink than coffee; at least,
it has a longer heredity, and was
drunk in China so long ago that
there are few legends about it's
origin.
For those who think it is a harm
Jul beverage, the legend that was
Introduced by a Chinese Emperor,
who was called the Divine Healer,
may be comforting. An old Chi
nese book says that 1t is good for
tumors or assesses that come
about the head and for ailments of
the bladder; it dissipates heat
caused by phlegms or inflamma-
ton OF the chest; it quenches
thirst; it lessons the desire for
Sleep"
The Dutch brought tea to Europe
about 1910, a few years before cof-
fee.
Historically, tea has played an
important part. Certainly we in
America should never forget that
the tax on tea was one of the
causes for u separation fr o m
England. I like to think that this
caused Americans to learn how to
brew coffee.
Sidney Smith said: Il am glad ]
was not born before tea," but that
is a British opinion. He had never
tasted a cup of American coffee. ]
