The Loyal Order of Moose, founded as it is upon the
true manhood theory, is surely an organization that ap
peals to the person who is interested in the uplift of hu
manity and the betterment of conditions along all lines.
This order is one whose great endeavor is the amalgama
tion of the better element of each community Into one
Big Brotherhood whose objects and aims are the advance
ment of social, educational and moral development, and in
view of this fact the Order solicits all men of the Cauca
sian race of good moral character to Join its ranks and as
sist In the great work that has now advanced from the
stage of theory to realization. The world admires a man
who Is willing to sacrifice for others, but when the sacri
fice Is a pleasure and brings benefits directly to him It
then becomes a business proposition. The Order has now
passed the million mark in numerical strength and is mak
ing wonderful strides In the fraternal world. We are pre
paring for the future of our membership by building Vo
cational Schools, Homes for the Widows and Orphans and
Homes for the Aged. Each member contributes $1.00 per
year for the maintenance of these Institutions. Think
what one million dollars will do to provide for the help
less. It will sweep away pain from countless sickbeds and
bring hope to the aged and homeless. We accept all men
of the Caucasian race between the ages of 21 and 55 years.
Men over the age of 55 years may Join as non-beneficial
members. There are Moose Lodges In nearly every Alas
kan city and Valdez will soon be In line with the others.
For particulars write J. FREDERICK JOHN80N, National
Organizer.

SMOKERS’MINDS LOSE
10 PER CENT OF POWER
Tests Show Cigarettes Worst
ot Nicotine Foes.
New York.—Tobacco smoking causes
a decrease of 10.5 per cent In mental
efficiency, according to a series of ex
periments by Dr. A. D. Busb.
There was a series of 120 tests on
each of fifteen men In several different
psychic fields. The subjects volunteer
ing for the experiments all were med
ical students ranging In age from twen
ty-one to thirty-two years, of varying
previous experience, from the farm
laborer to the lifelong student, of di
vergent mental capacity, from the fail
ure to the honor student and of differ
ing habits as to tobacco addiction. The
subjects were attendants at the Uni
versity of Vermont, where Professor
Bush Is an Instructor In physiology.
Among his findings are:
The greatest actual loss was In the
field of Imagery, 22 per cent.
The three greatest losses were In the
fields of Imagery, perception and asso
ciation.
The greatest loss in these experi
ments occurred with cigarettes.
Nicotine was found in the distillates
of all tobacco tested.
Nicotine was not found in the smoke
of any tobacco except that of cigar
ettes, and then only In traces.
Pyridine was found in the smoke of
all tobaccos tested.
Pyridine Is one of the decomposition
products of nicotine, the latter being
almost twenty-two times as poisonous
as pyridine, so far as its action on the
human body is concerned.
This was the first extensive Investi
gation of the mental effect of smoking.
The recent tests at Columbia univer
sity and elsewhere were chiefly for the
physical effects on students In athletic
training.

OFFICIALLY HE WAS A GIRL
Cambridge Boy Gata tha Family Doc
tor to Fix tha City’a Booka.
Boston.—After being registered for
sixteen years as a girl in the city
clerk’s office at Cambridge. Frederick
Melanson of that city forced the clerk
to correct the official birth registration
book.
The boy wanted to go to work and
applied for the necessary birth certifi
cate. At city hall a clerk searched
through the files and said, “The only
Melanson we have In that year is a girl
born to J. A. and Bertha Uelanson.”
“That’s me,” said Fred.
"I can’t take your word for It” said
the clerk.
Frederick hustled to the office of the
family physician, Dr. Lancaster, and
brought him to the clerk’s office.
“I remember perfectly the day he
was born,” said the doctor and took
the required oath to this. The clerk’s
book now reads, “Frederick Uelanson,
boy, born April 30,1888.”
GIRL WANDERS IN SLEEP.
Kalamaxoo Mlsa Awakana In tha
8traots of Battla Croak.
Battle Creek, Mich.—Walking in the
streets of Battle Creek and asking a
policeman where she was, Miss Myrtle
Green of Kalamazoo, fourteen years
old, was taken home by Captain Put
nam and County Agent Thayer of her
home city, ending a search that had
been instituted by tier parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Cbnrles Green.
The theory is that the girl, in a som
nambulistic state, boarded an Interur
ban car at night and came as far as
her money took her, to Urbandale,
then walked to this city. The girl
comes of a good family, and when last
seen In Kalamazoo was on her way
to church. She seemed dazed when
found here, but recovered her senses
later.

this announcement through the medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator to the Territorial

Election on Tuesday, November the Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor
does the office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want
your support and vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have
made no pledges or promises to any individual, party or
concern, and if elected will go to Juneau, absolutely unham
pered with ties of any kind; to do that which will advance
the interests of the whole people of Alaska:—not to go there
and vote “aye and nay” during the session, but to work
with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a con
siderable experience, especially in this Division, and con
tinue such work, throughout the year and the entire term
of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely
cast your ballot for any of the other candidates for this
