NOME, ALASKA, JULY 7, 1917. j
OPTIMISM.
America has always been noted aa
the home of a race of optimists. In
deed, it may be said that optimism
is one of the most prominent of Am
erican traits. We get the blues once
In a while, but is usually for a brief
time. As a general thing the
spirits of the average American ars
always inclined toward the more
cheerful aspect of things; almost al
I
ways ho Is Inclined to hope for the
best no matter how poor the outlook
may seem or how difficult may be the
conditions confronting him.
And now that we are participants
in the greatest international struggle
the world has ever witnessed and are
about ]to exchange blows with the
most powerful aggregation of mili
tary strength that has ever been
gathered to rob and kill since the
dawn of history began, we assuredly
have need for the freest possible ex
pression of that traditional optimism.
This is war time—but It Is not a
time for long faces and downcast
spirits.
We arc going to tackle with all our
might and energy one of the tough
est jobs that has ever fallen to out
lot. We have not only to supply a
large part of the funds that will be
needed by our allies, but It has also
become our duty to supply them with
the greatest part of the necessities of
life and help them In fighting against
the comman enemy by sending our
own boys to the front, and we must
also finance ourselves while wc are
doing it.
Put In spite of all the terrific bur
den that has been so unexpectedly
thrust upon us, we are going to meet
it, not with downcast faces and in
fear and trembling over the ultimate
results, but with that some old spirtt
♦hat has made the nation what It is
and will make it even greater as the
world rolls on Into the mists of the
future.
We are going to show that famed
optimism as we have never showed It
before.
And that optlstsm will win us the
war. Backed by the optimistic spirit
w© simply cannot lose. Our course
is Just—as Just as ever human couse
can be. We did not want wrar, sought
to avoid It until provoked beyond en
durance, and now that we are In it,
we are In to win.
Whatever we may lack in the way
of practical preparedness we make
up In potential strength and we are
capable of rising to any emergency
if we but have the will and the op
timistic spirit behind us. And, know
ing that we have both, we have not
the slightest doubt that we arc going
to win. It Is because we know that
we are potentially prepared that we
are certain that we are going to win.
Our optimism is not based on an un
certainty, not upon Imagination or a
mere belief that we are Invincible and
will carry this war »o a complete,
victory.
Back of it is cold hard facts. And
those facts justify our optimism In
every way.
In the first place we are the most
prosperous and wealthy nation under
I
the sun.
We have already appropriated the
unheard of sum of seven billions for
war expenses and we have not even
scratched the surface of our financial
resources. Tt is this great wealth
and prosperity that contributes more
than any one factor to make us op
timistic.
We also know that in spite of all
the cry about food shortage we can
more than double our food produc
tion with comparatively little effort
and in a very short time. We are
thus assured that we have tho two
main sinews of war ns it is fought
today—■wealth and food at our com
mand. And if war takes away from
their customary peaceful occupations
a million men to fight our battles
across the water, wo still have mil-1
lions—multiplied to take thetr places.
No matter tlie drain upon our finan
cial resources; no matter how severe
ly taxed may be our productive re
sources no matter how many men may
be required to end the war, we are
capable of rtilsing to and meeting
adequately every emergency that will
be thrust upon us.
If the war increases our financial
problems we can solve them with the
assistance of our tremendous re*
sources, if the war increases our food
problems we have hundreds of thou
sands of acres that have never known
the plow and harrow.
Economically and financially we are
well prepared for war and what we
lack can readily be supplied.
We will win and in winning we shall
not only he winning a fighting that
will insure world pence and the free
dom of mankind hut we shall also he
I winning an added prosperity for this
j great .broad beautiful land of ours
! and shall he making it the supreme
j nation of the world.

GRAFTING WITH
FROG SKIN
A successful method of skin graft
ing. in which frog sk'in is used instead
of human skin ns a covering for
slow healing wounds is described in
Capt. H. W. M. Kendall, R. A. M.
the British Medical Journal by
P. Wounds in which the skin has been
destroyed heal naturally with a con
tracting scar, which *is often unsightly
and lnconvenlerfl, but the new method
leaves a neat and supple scar.
Frog skin can be obtained in abun
dance at the front. The loose skin
of the inner side of the frog's leg is
snipped off with scissors spread out
and applied by its under surface to
the wound, which has been cleansed
without antiseptics. It ^s fixed in
place by a covering of gutta percha
tissue and a dry dressing. In three
days the site of the graft appears as
a spot branching outward toward the
edges of the wound After the fifth
day the wound is dressed with boric
ointment until healing is completed,
all contraction being avoided.
Captain Kendall cla'ims for this
method that it has the advantage of
transplanting a skin free from hair
anti also free of any disease which
might be conveyed by human skin.
Twelve cases are described in which
the frog skin grafts were successful.
The wounds were of various sizes up
to four inches in length and one inch
and a half in breadth.
