ALASKA HUSKIE:
FINDS FRIEND j;
- i
In a letter to John Nestor, md \. rU- t
ten at some point on the Flanders 1
front. Father Bernard mentions a sin t
gular development in connection with l
the shipment of Nome dogs to the f
French war zone. This consists of the 4
remarkable fact that Father Bernard f
found one dog formerly owned by •
himself amonK the animals employed <
in the French service. '
Concerning the discovery of the
dog Bernard says that he was for
two months with the French forces
in Alsace and the Vosges mountains.
There he lived a life similar to that
in Alaska, and was engaged in train- ‘
ing the soldiers how to handle the dog 1
teams.
Much to his surprise, among the 1
435 dogs brought to that section he ‘
found the dog mentioned, which he 1
formerly owned and drove in Alaska. 1
The animal was named Sussuk, and re "
ported to the name. Bernard recog
nized him immediately. He says that
the hardest part of his work in con
nection with the dogs was teaching
the men how to drive them. He fin- 11
ally succeeded in the task, however, I 1
and was later transferred to 'the , !
British, where he was at the time of
writing. He says the dogs were em
ployed in hauling food, shells and did f
very good work. There was much
snow in the Vosges and things were
very much like In Alaska.
The dogs are reported to have done
very gooii work during the winter cam
paign. Bernard was sent back to the
British at the end of February last
and has since been engaged as in
terpreter
He says that he is now well used
to the shelling, as he has been on the
front nearly all the time, so a few
shells do not bother him much any
more. He says the Hermans sent eight
hundred shells into the camp where I ‘
I
e was stationed one afternoon, lie j
iso states that many priests have ;
een killed during the long period of j
ighting and many have been wound
d. "None can foresee when the war
ill end," he remarked in the letter. ;
but we will have to see it to a finish."

Whooping cough cases must he iso

ase ranks third among the fatal dis- >
uses of children, and should be given
erious consideration. Strict qua ran
inc must be maintained in all cases

SALT AS REMEDY
BERLIN, Aug. 24. — Encouraging
results from the administration of
common salt as a remedy against the
enfeebling night sweats of consump
tives and against excessive perspira
tion in the cases of marching soldiers
are reported by Company Surgeon
Link in an article in the Munich Me
dical Weekly.
Or. Link’s first experiments were
made with sufferers from tuberculo
sis. It occurred to him that their ex
cessive fatigue mornings might well
be due to the loss of salt, and that this
might be counteracted by a salt ra
lion. Me began by giving a level tea
spoonful of salt (about five grams) in
a small glass of water just before
patient retired. The result was a
greater freshness and absence of
weariness on the following morning,
hut the patients either had no night
sweats or else very slight ones. All
patients except those suffering also
front stomach catarrh and high fever
stood the salt dosing without any ill
effects whatever.
The seagoing tug Wilson, of the
engineering department of the United
States army, is making a tour of in
spection of the fish traps in South
eastern Alaska to see that they con
form to the regulations of the war do
partment.

I FOX FARM STARTED IN
THE KOYUKUK COUNTRY.
\dvices front the Koyukuk country
arc to the effect that Roy King has
started a fox farm about fourteen
miles above Betties, on the Koyukuk
river, lie really started the ranch
About three years ago, but his stock
of foxes became so large that he found
it necessary to ship a large quantity
of wire fencing in from the outside,
'and is now engaged in enlarging his
corrals.
When Mr. King started the fox rais
ing business he had only a few red fox
and a couple of cross foxes. He now ■
has eight silver grey adults, three of
which are nearly pure black. In fact
fur experts pronounce one of the foxes
as being the most valuable ever seen
'it interior Alaska.
The Koyukuk is a good fox country.
I Mr. King js therefore adding to his
! stock by trapping the animals as well
as raising them. He now has three
l litters of silver grey pups. One of the
j most valuable of the pups, however,
was killed by its mother.
