A POOR RETURN
The refusal or congress to grant the small appropriation asked for the
relief of Alaska influenza sufferers again .discloses the verity of that <>ld Ala
skan axiom: “Its a long way to Washington.”
A long way indeed, when congress cannot lie made to realize that four'
fifths of the sum asked was incurred solely on behalf of the native wards of
live in the approved manner of the white man: keeps a corps of officials draw
ing nice salaries to look after their affairs; provides a limited amount of med
ical attention and otherwise assumes a general supervison over their existence.
But when it comes to putting up a few extra dollars to pay others for doing
what the government failed to do in the greatest emergency the natives have

assistance they so freely granted to its native wards during the epidemic.
During the war period Alaska, measured by the basis of population, gave
a larger percapita return to the government war fund than any section <>f thej
American domain. in return the territory received hardly a cent from thej
through their various productive industries. Alaska people also led in individ-j
ual returns to the. Bed Dross drives. Alaska also gave approximately one tenth
of her entire population to the government for war service, a record that is

A MYSTERIOUS QUESTION
(Seattle Post Intelligencer.) '
One of the unsolved mysteries of our public policy is Secretary Maker’.*
insistence on a “temporary army” of 509,000 men. Of no feature <>f his ad
ministration has the secretary displayed so great a determination and about no
detail has so impenetrable a shroud of mystery bcen^thrown.
"I am not asking for any increase in the permanent' military establish
ment,” he told the house military committee. "All I am asking is for sufficient
money to provide for an army of 509,000. The great need now is quick
action.”
Evidently the country is faced by some temporary peril of a very serious
character. What can it be? It can hardly have anything.to do with the
state of war yet existing under the terms of an armistice betweeft this country,
flermany and what remains of Austria. We still have our war armies in
Europe, and they will be avilable for Mr. Baker until four months after the
signing of the treaty of peace. For any contingency that can possibly arise in
Europe between now and the signing of the treaty of peace, and four months
thereafter, Mr. Baker has sufficient forces, if our “associates" will stand with
us. And after the treaty of peace is signed and the league of nations becomes
a reality, what need can there be for 509,000 armed men either in Europe or
in the United States? ,
The more one speculates on Mr. Baker's secretive military program,
the more puzzling it becomes. Clearly we do not need this army before the
signing of the treaty of peace, and why should we need it, a purely “temporary"
army, after the league of nations' covenant is signed. There is] of course, this
supplemental treaty of alliance with France about which '‘happily there has
been no mystery." This temporary army may have something to do with
this, for despite the presidential assurance, the reason for this alliance, in view'!
of the efficacy of the league of nations, is not clear. We know', of course, from
the mere existence of this special treaty with France, that France doesn’t take'
any stock in the efficacy of the league, and it is quite possible that France
may have some doubts about the special treaty unless there is an American
army in being of sufficient size to assure the prompt fulfillment of its details, i
All these, however, hre speculations, which cannot be entertained with
out entertaining doubts as to the potency of the league, and to that extent at
least are untenable. Still the demand for a temporary army of half a million
men cannot but arouse curiosity even in a country where pitiless publicity and
open covenants are the rule.

In a recent d.scourse on th9 sub
ject ot Iron deficiency in the blood
of American men and women Dr. ll.'B.
Vail, formerly Physician in the Balti
more Hospital said: "Throughout my
experience on Hospital staffs and as
Medical Examiner, 1 have been aston
ished at the number of patients who
have vainly doctored for various dis
eases when in reality the deli
cate, run-down state was simply the
reeult of lack of iron In Jhe blood.
Time and again I have prescribed or
ganic iron—Nuxated Iron—and sur
prised patients at the rapidity with
which the weakness and general de
bility were replaced by a renewed feel
ing of strength and vitality. I took
Nuxated Iron my self te build me up
after a serious case of nervous ex
haustion. The effectj were apparent
after a few days and within three
weeks it had virtually revitalized my
whole system and put me in a superb
phy sical condition. It Is not surpris
ing that millions of people annually
axe now taking Nuxated Iron and phy
sicians everywhere are prescribing it.
Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly
Physician of Bellevue Hespital (Out
door Dept.) New York, .\nd the Weit
ehestcr Country Hoepltal, says: "For
want of iron you may be an old nan
at thirty, dull In intelect, poor in mem
ory, nervous, Irritable and all run
down, while at 50 or 60 with plenty
ef Iron »n your blood you may still be
young in feeling, full of life, your whole
being brimming over with energy and
vital force.”

R. Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says:
Gear That thcro staff (Nuxated Iron)

ginger of youth into a man.
"I usd well past my three-score years,
and want to say that I believe iny own j
great physical activity is due largely i
today to my persoi-al use of Nuxated i
Iron, and If my endorsement shall In
duce anaemic, nervous, dun-down men
and." women to take Nuxated Iron, and
receive the* wonderful tonic benefits
which I have received, I shall feel
greatly gratified that I have made an
exception to my life-long rule In re
commending it. From my own exper
