A DRIVE THAT DOES NOT STOP
The German drive in the west has
slowed up, and it is now at a stand
still.
The drive of American labor is go
ing on with increased force, and it
will not slacken until the war is won.
Charles Knight, a negro ship
builder in the plant of the Bethlehem
Shipbuilding Corporation at Sparrows
Point, Md.. was given a prize of $125
offered l>y Lord Northcliffe for the
champion riveter among Allied ship
builders.
Knight's record did not stand two
weeks. The same day that he re
ceived his award “Big Tom" Horn
drove 5,620 rivets into a ship of the
Moore Shipbuilding Company in San
Francisco, and took the honors for the
time being.
The rivet-driving contest now is get
ling results.
If every gang will increase the
number of rivets they drive by just
five a day it will mean an additional
10,000-ton steel ship every ten weeks.
An increase of ten a clay would launch
such a ship additionally each five
weeks; twenty a day. two and a half
weeks, and forty-five a day, another
ship every week.
The new California champion’s aver
age is about 2,000 a day. While he
would be unable to stand the strain
of keeping up to his high mark, he
could better his average.
Every riveting gang in the nation
could do faster work.
They are speeding up, and they will
soon be syung as fast as their energy
and science will permit.
The boys in the shipyard are tak
ing such an interest in riveting be
cause they know that every rivet they
drive is one more nail in the coffin of
the Kaiser. They want to complete
that coffin in the shortest possible
time.

ROSE PASTOR STOKES
The conviction at Kansas City and
sentence to ten years' imprisonment
of Rose Pastor Stokes for violation
of the espionage act tends to call at
tention to a conspicuous example of
the length to which fanaticism >n any
cause may lead even clever and well
intentioned persons. Mrs. Stokes has
done good work of a philanthropic
and educational nature among the
poor and ignorant populace of the
metropolis, and has shown herself to
be a superior woman \n many in
spects. But the intfieacies of Social
istic reasoning seem to have warped
her mind, as they have the minds of
many others, and the result wa3 a
conflict with the law.
Mrs. Stokes has long been conspic
uous as a writer and lecturer on So
cialism and sociological problems.

Food Expert Emphasizes Superiority
of Milk to Sugar for Children
By DR. HARVEY W. WILEY
y .—.. ■■ ■■ -
1 beg those who are doing their utmost to economize
and those in somewhat straitened circumstances to pon
I der carefully these suggestions: to eat more of the cheap
[»er kinds of foods, such as cereals bought in bulk and
eaten with simplicity; to purchase less sugar, which is
by no means a necessity, and add this saving to the sum
I set aside for the purchase of milk.
I should like to see these conditions obtain, name
ly, that in every family where there are children, at least
a pint of milk should be used each day by each child.
Whenever milk is purchased in these circumstances, it
should be devoted first of all to the infant or young child, and if any be
left over it may be used bv the children of larger growth, and the men and
wonien of the household.
I am not exaggerating in any sense when T say that 10 cents invested
in milk is of far more value to the family with a child than when invested
in sugar. This is true, although the heating power of 10 cents’ worth of
sugar is considerably greater than that of 10 cents’ worth of milk.
The nutritive value to the child, however, is far greater in 10 cents’
worth of milk than it is in 10 cents’ worth of sugar. A child fed sugar
will never he nourished and grow, and it cannot be well nourished and
grow properly without milk.
All the constituents of milk nourish the child. Its bones and teeth
are made from the valuable mineral substances in the milk. The muscles
and parts of the nerves, tendons, and bones are built up from the protein
(casein) of the milk. The heat of the body is supplied by the milk sugar
«nd milk f»fc. f

COMMON SENSE DEMANDS
DISARMAMENT
No one can felt whether (his is the
last great war or not.
But if it is not the human species
is possessed of much less common
sense than one would presume.
The defeat of Germany will show
to every people that they must pre
serve themselves by running their
own governments. Can the Germans
fail to see the mistakes they have
made by allowing their rulers to im
pose militarism upon them?
War is the sport of kings, as the
Romans saw two thousand years ago
and incorporated into a Latin prov
erb.
The kaiser is having his sport, and
he is almost the only sovereign re
maining whose people have not
hedged him in so he cannot lead them
into wars and fill them with misinfor
mation that keeps the light from their
minds.
This war will ruin the vanquished
and the victors will feel it in one
way and another for a long time to
come. It will take years to repair
the losses in lives, and hearts of wo
men will ache for a half century to
come. •
As long as there are nations in the
world that arm themselves to fight
for the wrong wars are inevitable.
But it seems preposterous that mod
ern races can continue their arma
ments when the war shows their fu
tility.
Iloiv much better it would bo if
all the nations agreed to disarm and
honestly entered into an agreement
to arbitrate their differences. Wars
have been engaged in over issues that
two insane men could settle in half
an hour’s talk. Yet it is far from
certain that arbitration of difficulties
will become established because there
remain nations like Germany that
____
leave their governments to autocrats
and special classes.
Oxenstiern said to his son: “Go
forth, my son, and see with how lit
tle wisdom the world is governed."
As long as wars continue, with
their long trains of evil and suffer
ing, it must be confessed that some
nations are sadly lacking in common
sense. Progress has been made by
war in the past, and this conflic
will result in great advancement, but
the paths of peace are safer and surer
and the time must come when all
modern states are willing to lay
down their rifles and work out their
destiny at the ballot boxes.

Use of Horse Meat By People of United
States Is Rapidly Increasing
Bj DR. C. W. McCAMPBELL
Auocitle Profewoi of Animal Husbandry. Kansas State Agricultural College
Have you tasted horse meat? If not, you may have au opportunity
before the close of the world war.
Use of horse meat by the people of the United States is increasing rap
idly despite a widespread sentiment against its use for human consumption.
Investigations have shown that the patrons of horse-meat shops belong to
the middle classes rather than to the lower classes as many persons think.
Horse meat retails for half the price of beef and is palatable, whole
some and nutritious. It can scarcely be distinguished from beef by the
average buyer and it is interesting to note that those who have once tried
horse meat become regular customers.
Horse meat is used extensively throughout many countries of Europe,
but butcher shops handling horse meat have been established but a short
time in the United States. The first of these shops were opened at Tort
land and Brooklyn. In a short time others were opened in Cincinnati, St.
Louis, Toledo and many other large cities.
The latest shops to open are those of Omaha, and in the near future
horse meat will probably be sold throughout the country.
Besides furnishing a cheaper kind of wholesome meat, these markets
offer au outlet for the small horses witli which the country is overstocked,
and for which there is no commercial or farm demaud.

BANK OF ALASKA
With tne Aim that Its Growth Will Give
the Name Full Significance
Practically all the territorial banks in Alaska had their origin in
a mercantile business, and were the outgrowth of a condition. The
BANK OF ALASKA was launched purely as a bank, and without the
support of other interests than the business that comes to it in the
regular channels.
I The trend of American banking legislation Is toward branch bank
ing systems. The pioneer in this territory is the BANK OF ALASKA,
which is the first and so far the only branch system.
Complying with the laws and regulations governing the institu
tion, from the combined paid-in capital there is apportioned to each
branch sufficient capital to cover the legal requiremnt of an Inde
pendent bank. Each branch makes full individual report to the bank
ing board. Each must show how it is progressing individually.
In the final analysis the strength and justification of the system is
apparent, for each branch has the full strength of the entire system
back of it.
The system is backed by very able men, and furnishes all the ad
vantages of a metropolitan bank, having the facilities of checking ac
counts, certificates of deposit, savings accounts, travelers’ checks and
safe deposit boxes. Your account is solicited.
