City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 23, 1915.
While there is no discounting the
fact that Nome is In a bad way, finan
cially speaking, and that there is an
•-ver growing possibilty that the coun
cil will be compelled to perform some
remarkable financial stunts in order to
keep the exchequer from becoming as
barren as the proverbial spendthrift’s
purse before their term of office is
ended, ut the same time it is clear that
tile situation is not nearly so bad as at
Fairbanks. The interior metropolis is
at present saddled with a debt approx
imating nearly ten thousand dollars
and the citizens thereof are worrying
their gray matter to tbe point where
everything begins to look gloomy in an
effort to find a way to place things on
a level basis again. While there Is no
prospect that Nome will find herself
in a like situation, at least for some
time, it is painfully clear that only a
most stringent economy and a careful
consideration of each item of expedi
turp will prevent a like situation de
veloping in our own civic affairs. At
the present time there is less than one
thousand dollars in the treasury, hard
ly enough to pay the current expenses
for the present month, and where the
revenue for meeting the expenses of
the coming month is to come from no
one seems to know exactly. What the
attitude of the present council toward
this condition of affairs will be remains
to he seen but that it will require their
best endeavors to steer clear of abso
lute bankruptcy is a fact beyond dis
pute.
The announcement of the German
government that all concessions in the
matter of the conduct of the submarine
warfare will henceforth be refused on
the ground that he allies are using the
concealment afforded by the use of
neutral flags to circumvent the Ger
man vessels in their operations and
also to bring about the destruction of
the German ships engaged in the sub
marine warfare, promises not only to
add further difficulties to the task of
settling the differences at present ex
isting between the Bnited States and
Germany over the same subject, but
also threatens to hring about complica
tions tietween this country and Britain
through the oft illustrated predilec
.tion of that nation toward making a
free use of the flag of this country
whenever the occasion seems to re
quire. While all of the belligerent na
tions are doubtless proceeding more or
less on the theory that neutrals have
no rights whatever and also that every
thing is permissible regardless of in
ternational agreements and other
trifles of like nature, it has also been
demonstrated that the present govern
ment >>f the I'nlted States is very much
inclined to cling to some of the anti
quated notions of other days and as a
ronsequence is very likely to differ with
the Idea that the flag can be rightfully
employed for such uses and purposes.
Britain has already asserted her belief
that such conduct with the flag of a
neutral Is permissible under certain
conditions. The conditions, so far as
indicated in the reply to the American
note of protest following the Lusitania
flag incident, were—in as far as Bri
tain herself is concerned—mainly de
pendent on when she happens to fell
ho inclined. This attitude of the Bri
tish has already led the Germans into'
'the error of mistaking two American
vessels for ships belonging to the bel
ligerents with the result that one. the
Gulflight. was nearly wrecked while
the other vessel, the Cushing, was bad
ly damaged through an aerial attack.

of neutrals for purposes of deceiving

By Chat. G. Percival, M. D.
Dyspepsia is the most common dis
ease of this age. Simplicity of diet
will cure and avoid it. If you have it
try the simple breakfast of fresh
fruits, the super-cooked cereals, whole
wheat or brown bread (not too fresh).
These will be found quite sufficient as
accompaniments to the morning cup of
tea, cocoa or coffee. Boiled rice or
any of the predigested cereals eaten
with boiled milk and a boiled egg oc
casionally can be added to make a
more solid meal. Those who have been
long accustomed to making a more
elaborate breakfast of bacon and eggs,
griddle cakes, steaks, chops or fish, be
cause perhaps in many cases of the
inability of obtaining a substantial
noon meal, will do well to omit these
heavy foods in the summer and follow
the above suggestions. one of the
principal arguments for simplicity is
that owing to the prevailing ignorance
concerning food values and the requi
site amount of albumen, sugar, starch ^
and fats which are necessary to keep
the human economy in perfect health.
It is somewhat difficult for chronic eat- j
ers of flesh and heavy diet to choose a .
properly balanced diet. They make
many blunders, such as partaking too'
freely- of acid fruits and vegetables at
the same time, instead of wisely com-1
bining fruits with cereals. Others mix
up a hedge pode of savories, condi
meats, sweets, rich and fatty dishes
greatly to the detriment of an over- j
worked stomach and a consequently re
bellious stomach and a poisoned sys- ^
tern, to say nothing of a lowered men
tal efficiency and physical ability. j
These are the ones who revert back
to the meat diet and become steady !
converts to cathartic pills instead of
profiting liy the lessons that nature has*
sought to impart.
It is important that all should learn
the elements needed in our daily foods
to hulld uii the body. Make the diet
as varied as possible. Avoid a same
ness. Do not mix too many things
together at one meal. Bear in mind
that the body demands a certain
amount of the following things:
1st—Pats which can be found in
nuts, butter, olive oil, cream and cer
tain cereals like oatmeal. Pats sustain
the nervous system and maintain heat.
2nd—Protein which is found in nuts,
C.H brown bread, whole v ei ,
eggs, oatmeal, cheese, lentils, peas anil
beans. Protein forms flesh builds mus
cle, and produces strength. <
3rd—Phosphates, which are found in
most all vegetables, and the husk of
the wheat which is included in all the
bread mentioned (not tn white flour)
cheese, bananas, apples, and many of
the fruits. Phosphates build up the
bone, feed the brain and nerves and
purify the system.
4th—Sugar which is obtained by mas
ticating starches but most easily and
best in fresh fruits and pure honey.
Sugar supplies heat and energy.
5th—Water which Is necessary to
purify the body and supply the fluid
for the necessary excretions which are
necessary to keep the system in a
state of even health.
It is impossible to set down hard
and fast rules that will fit every ease
concerning the proper proportions in
which the five elements must ’
blned or thep roper amount of each
needed by each Individual. This is be
cause the amount varies in every case j
according to the age and occupation.
Conclusive experiments have proven
that about two ounces of protein is
sufficient even for the heavy worker,
six ounces starch, two ounces of fat,
one-half ounce of phosphates, and four
to six pounds of water per day are
needed. An excess of protein causes
a general condition of plethora, ner
vous prostration after meals, conges
tion, piles, headaches, excitability, sen
suality, irritability and bad temper. An
excess of starch diet, especially if not,
well cooked or masticated is responsi-*
blilty for dyspepsia, flatulence, atom - |
ach pains, acidity, pimples, boils and a j
general inflamatory condition. Excess!
of fats causes billlousnes. A lack of
water means that the body shall draw,
upon the tissues themselves for the,
necessary moisture for its excretions j
so that the body is soon emaciated. The
more physical effort we put forth the
more proteids and fats we require and)
vice versa. Brain workers of sedent-1

simple diet, copious draughts of water

constant but light exercise in the open

from a meat diet, and too much of a
vegetable diet, is apt to bring on so- .

whep you are hungry don't force
yourself and don't eat to repletion.
Drowsiness and stupor arc sure signs of
excess.
Cooking is 50 per tent of the suc

baking and broiling are best. Fo.id
