FOOD AND DRUGS
Everybody will agree with Professor
Joseph P. Remington Chat the pun.
food law is one of the most beneficial
pieces of recent legislation. Even if,
as he savs, thj common adulter (lions of j
food and drugs are not poisonous, they
are uoue the less exasperating. When
a person pays his rnouey for oolTee he
ought by good rights to gel coffee, ami ,
not bread pills. Nor do. s it make th ;
matter right to lasist that the bread j
pilS ate uot lethal. If the purchase
had desired that mild confection he
would have a.-,krd for It, and not for
coffee. Ate wo all oabies without rea .
son. that our grocers must dole out
what we shall eat aud drink regardlo. -
of our wishes?
Still more icritating is it to sro to th-- !
drugstore and pay for opodeldoc only l.
have a decoction of dried b.rk of th>
bland "tiuakenasp" foisted npon us %V
rush t > the apothecary : i the miust o
an ague fit shriekiu ' forijuinine sail h
dispenses whoaten tlour. To be sur< j
the flour does not kill but neither doe
it cure. There would tie soiuo mitiga
lion to the bite of these wrong* if our
g i Goers and druggists regulated the:
pi ices according to the articles which
they provide. We can .-tan 1 it to re
celve a mixture of typhoid germs au,
dirty water wheu we ask for milk: wha
eiasperates is to be forced to pay thi
price of milk for this bre? . which cat
be furnished much cheaper t' ail the-j
pure product of the cow.
It is wrong to oe angry, but if anger
is ever pardonab.'e it is wheu a mm
pays his druggist for CJlomel and sets
chalk. Still, there is a silver lining to
the cloud, dark as it is. It is a comfort
la the circumstances to remember that,
according to our leading physicians,
most drugs are useless any way. Their
effect is purely mental, and so long a.
we believe we are swallowing ipecacu
anah we shall experience all the m di
cioal effects of that balmy herb, no
matter what x'oes don a the guilut. Si
long, then, as the druggis s do not poi
son us we can forgive them. Since
most of their stuff is rubbish, it makes
little difference whether we take on
dose or another, but with a climate U k- i
Alaska's it were far better to take none
at all.
THE LIMIT
"Governor Hoggatt holds the highest
office in this territory within the gift
of the president. Alaska wants many
things at the bauds of congress, an I
that, of necessity, ueao? that wr need
the help of the president. Is it good
policy to insult the chief executive of
the nation if we fro to need him in se
curing legislation? This is wh.it the
disloyal rebel press is dying day after
day. They want to (brow olf the }u*?
of government and run this north, rn
cou itry regardless of law except of
their own making."? Re.-od-M i.er.
The above is certainly the l.mit. This
newspaper holds President Roosevelt in
tee highest esteem: it appreciates hi
desire to treat Alaska fairly ?s thor
oughly as it does the courtesan p acti
ces of sotu ? of >ts unwelcome federal
officials. Governor Hogvatt is merely
an old man of the sea that Alaska can
not shake from her hack. However, It
serves no good purpose to harp over
him and The Alaskan does not ictend
to do so; nevertheless, it has a len iency
to make the readers of Alaska papers
tired to have such newspapers as the
Record-Miner attempt to make people
be'ieve that the president takes any ex
ception to what is deservedly said ^tbout
an office holder. It is not a case with
the president of "Love me. Love my
dog."
The Daily Record Miner of Juneau,
came to the office of The Alaskan yes
terday set up by machine. The Re
cord-Miner always is a cood paper but
with its new dress it is betttr than j
ever. Installing a LyDOtype entails aj
large amount of expense and The Al- <
askau hopes that the public spirit dis
played by the Record-Miner will b? ap
preciated by the good Juneauites sol
heartily that the Record-Miner mac
agemen; will make enough in a week to
pay for the entire outlay.
