NOME, ALAOKA, FEB. 7. 1917.
The surgeon general of the United
SLues pubi.c htuiih service has sent
our a bulletin wura.ng the people of
this country of the direful conse
quences which follow overeating. It
plats or looa Coll .in ue to climb this
matter will automatically regulate
itself.
Henry Ford appears as a saner
man when ottering his plant to uie
government tree of charge in case 01
war than wnen heauiug a party to
laurope lo bring about peace. The
desirability of peace was unquestioned,
but the Ford plan seemed to
pioceed from a mind in which self
cunuuence had crowded out the power
of reason. That a ship load of half
drummed women and male visionar
ies could in the slightest inliuence the
Chancellories ot the warring nations
was Indeed an absurd Idea. Now,
however, r old appears in an admira
ble light. When he U on his own
ground of business organization he has
no uu|,G.iviA, mm ms services with his
plant, may be Welcome to tne govern
ment.
It Is Irritating to read of Carranza
sending a wireles3 message to the
kaiser conveying AUxtcu s best wishes
to the Lieinmus in the impending
struggle wim the United buttes.
Those Mexicans are a half caste peo
ple lo whom kindness, forbearance
aim gciierus.ty are only signs ot weak
ness. They are a miserable, poor peo
ple now to be sure, but probably we
cannot enuure them as neighbors un
til vvu nave g. ven uiein a good thrash
ing and luk n a part of the conceit
011 of them. It Is very unfortunate
lint m,. w ..soil ever ms.aicu on the
removal ot imeita who seemed to
have sulllcienl strength to rule the
tieucherous, ignorant and wretched
people of Mexico, it is eve nuiore un
furl unale that, Huerta having been
removed, the presiuenl d.d not deal
with tlie situation with a timi hand.
Had the Vent Cruz expedition been
allowed lo proceed along the lines laid
down by the board of strategy Mexico
w< uid tit u short lime have been con
vinced ot the courage and puwer of
Americans. A3 it is, Carranza, the
om man of whom Mr. Wilson has ex
peeled so much, now shows himself to
be an enemy in spite of all the cou
siueraiiun with which he has been
treated.
The Gerumus are very thorough In
m'iny things they do. They are not
content to leave the picturing of their
submarine operations to word paint
ers only. They have wanttd pho»o
giaphs of the whole scene and to
m ike a goou Job have employed the
mi vlng picture camera. Thsu they
lane u vioiule record of just how it
was done from the moment when
they boarded their victim until the
explosion took plus* and the wrack
Slowly tank beneath the wavaa. Such
pictures cun be put to many uses in
the fatherland. When placed on ex
hibition they please the people by
showing how German Ingenuity and
Intel pidity have made British sea
power purtiully ineuectlve and thus
help to suotain the national spirit io
endure further the miseries incum
bent on the prosecution of the war.
^ proper companion pit ce to one of
these pictures or the s.niir. g of a
tnerchunt vessel would be u Him re
i ua.uiml.ii ul a Bruish cruiser sink.ng
a submarine by a single shot. Tins
has happened scores of times but a
motion plctu.e of it would not fake
well in Germany.
in order to prove that men and
wtmen may live lnexp nsively even
with the present high prices for food
and still live well, a diet squad was
experimented with in Chicago recent
ly and the results obtained were quite
amazing. It was planned to prove
rh-l cooked food of sustaining quali
ty could be provided a 3quad ‘oi'
SiSting of six men and six woim n it
a cost not to exceed forty cents each.
I'm tests resulted even better than
had been expected for the cost per
f.eimn was re m.d 1e thirty “i.iee
a day. l :. a il.et rur'hased at such
a low figure the 'niuvis ot 'he sq"ad
gained a inli'l ol’ . m! seven pom. Is
in one week.
The food was purchased at ran ■
d m in down town stores of Chicago
ard thus the current prices were
paid. Meat was the most expensive
article of diet and was provided free
ly. There was no attempt made to
fmnish other than the commonly used
foods as this was not a test of any
health reform diet. There was fruit,
vegetables, cheese, butter, egg,a fish,
milk and all the staples. A daily 1
menu that looks attractive was pro
vided.
Two lessons were deduced from 1
test. One is that housewives should 1
go to market for their supplies and ’
choose them with Judgment matching .
nourishing qualities against price. \n- 1
other is that when food is being eaten (
.here should be no hurry, no unpleas- I
ont surroundings. There should be
good fellowship and luughter, as these
add greatly to the power of the bod- 1
ily organs to pioperly care for food, t

i ar\ii«G i HE DOCTOR'S ORDERS
A country doctor walking out oik
day with u H.ghlander who boasten
1.0 was a staunch teetotaller, resolve..
o put him to the test, i'asstng a
i.otel he ask. 1 him in and ordered
two glasses of whisky. After they
l.i.d 'shifted'' these, and two or three
more at the doctors expense, his
menu begun to get a w»« bit "gllV o'
the gab." The doctor then, feeling h.
liad him. bluntly asked:
'How does this square wl’ your tee
total pretensions?”
"Well," quoth John, with a quiet
smile, "though I'm a staunch teetotal- 1
hr. Id be u fuie to refuse what the]
doctor orders."
