THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE.
It is a trite saying, but none tiie less true, that it is
the little things in life that count. Especially is this be
ing emphasized in times like those which now prevail. It
is the host of small savings that makes the aggregate
large. Recent dispatches tell of Hawaiian women contri
buting small silver trinkets for the good of the American
air service. At first glance this may seem trivial, but not
only does it show a spirit of sacrificial patriotism, but the
benefits derived from the plan may well be great.
In England many women gave their jewels and mon
ev for the cause, and others who were not so fortunate
as to have these things also wished to have a hand in the
work. At length a suggestion was made that women con
tribute silver thimbles and other such trinkets that were
out of use.
i
According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, after be
ing: collected and melted down these trinkets bought the
sendee seven motor ambulances, five motor hospital
boats, $1,000 for hospital supplies, $10,000 for disabled
sailors agency, $11,250 for Star and Garter fund, and
$50,000 for soldiers and sailors.
Undoubtedlv there must have been much sacrifice en
%
tailed upon some of the contributors in the raising of this
money, but the service it accomplished was probably a
sufficient reward for this.
So the movement started by the women of Hawaii
may well be the foundation of a general movement among
all American women toward a contribution of things that
have outlived their usefulness and have been stored away
%
out of sight and out of mind. There must be millions of
dollar’s worth of these articles, and, while they may pos
sess valuable association for their owners, there is much
good that they can do if they are only applied in the prop
er place and manner. — (Fairbanks Citizen.)
BANISHING BERNHARDI, TOO!
German having been banished from most of the Amer
ican high schools, partly because students boycotted the
language and partly because boards of education voted it
down, it is now proposed to banish from public libraries all
German books, particularly those of a militaristic charac
ter. And among these books is Bernhardi’s “The Next
War.”
Could stupiditiy go farther? When the war broke
out most of the world was incredulous over the reports of
German war methods and war ambitions. In order to
show the world what Germany had been planning, the
British government printed many thousand copies of Bern
liardi’s book and distributed them in this countrv. Other
•/
thousands of copies went to other neutral nations.
With the exception of von Bethmann-Hollweg’s in
famous phrase, "a scrap of paper,” Bernhardi’s book did
more service than anything else for Great Britain and the
allies. Later Treitschke, Nietzsche and other war philos
ophers were read, but they had nothing like the vogue of
Bernhardi, who wrote from a popular point of view. When
t he German government was claiming that Russia or Eng
land started the war it did its best to suppress Bernhardi,
and he wrote long articles to the American press trying
to explain away his book, saying that the translation did
him an injustice, and seeking in a maze of words, to neu
tralize the perfectly plain, blunt statements in his now fa
mous book.
Anent the vote of the Virginia legislature ratifying
the national prohibition amendment, the New York World
scores a point by saying that it is inconsistent for the pre- j
eminent state’ right commonwealth to vote New York
state dry.
An exchange suggests that the people of Russia, for
their own good, should read every word of President Wil
son’s statement of war claims. A fine idea, but who is go
ing to teach most of the Russian people to read?
It would be a happy state of affairs if congress would
realize it had nothing to investigate and could devote it
self to needed legislation.
MORE RULES TO !
EATING HOUSES
ARE GIVEN OUT
_
All proprietors of eating places in
the territoiy are now receiving a cir
cular from the Territorial food admin
| istrator at Juneau. This circular re
, reived in Seward says:
.Vmong the enclosures is a little
printed notice to your guests, calling
attention to the fact that you are a
member of the U. S. Food Adminis
tration, and. as such, will observe as
lar as possible it.> rules and regula
tions and requests concerning the con
st rvation of essential foods on cer
tain days, etc. Will you kindly ap
pend a copy to one ol your menu
cards or conspicuously display it in
vour place of business.
All of the public eating places in
Juneau, Thane, Treadwell and Doug
las, about thirty-five in number, have
agreed to do so. All of them became
members of the United States hood
Administration at a recent joint con
feree with the Federal Food Ad
ministrator for Alaska at Junotu;
and, at the same time agreea to, and
jn-e now' carrying out the following
piogram of conservation:
1 Dread, butter and crackers are not
j kept on the tables and are not put
before the guests until the meal is
I actually served; bread is being sliced
thinner; butter is served in an un
frozen state, because a less quantity
is required of it than when frozen. A
meatless Tuesday, wheat less Wednes
day an pi;kle«s Satu day ar* a'so
being strictly observed* Only two
cubes of sugar are being given cad:
euest uni he or :he asks for •» e.
(irocers have been asked to handle in
laiger quantities cube *ugar, and the
hakets have been requested to regu
late their production of wheat breads
for Wednesdays delivery so that they
r will not bake an excess amount.
The Federal Food Administrator
kindly asks you to adopt the same
program to the end that enough food
may be saved with which to win the
war, as Food is the weapon that will
vin the war.
The action of the eating houses of
this section ha* probably been called
to your attention by a chairman of
a food saving committee acting under
authority from this ollico; if not. this
notice will give you the infoimation
is to what has been done and what
it is hoped will give you the informa
tion as to what has been done and
vhat it is hoped w'ill be done by ev
. ry public eating place throughout
me territory during the war. Many
restaurants have been observing
n.oatless and wheatless days indis
criminately. It is now' the desire to
have certain days observed. Then too,
tnis will enable the public to readily
conform thereto.
A great amount of meats, wheat
and fats is being saved in Alaska by
the hearty cooperation of the eating
houses and dealers in food stuffs, due
to the hearty co-operation of its pa
triotic citizens. A continuance of the
program by our citizens will enable
Uncle Sam to supply, in a large de
gree, the needed foods to our soldiers
and those of our associates in the *vai
now carrying on the great struggle
for democracy.
The Federal Food Administrator
for Alaska expresses his sincere ap
preciation for your hearty cooperation
in vhe past and most respectfully
asks tha^ you continue doing all with
in your power to conserve the food
stuffs so urgently needed at
time.
