MUST ABIDE BY THE LAWS
District attorney Munley, in an ad
dress delivered at Seward the other
night, issued a warning to pro-Ger
mans, aliens and Americans. Pro
German were told to keep their
mouths shut during the period of the
war. Aliens were also told that they
must obey the laws of this country.
Both pro-Germans and aliens, who
have fattened at the national crib for
years; who have had every advantage
of a free land, must now abide by the
laws of the United States. Mob ven
geance will not be tolerated but the
United States will deal more severely
with those who commit infractions
than will a mob. Tolerance of the
American government and the people
will only last so long and the time
has now come when tolerance has
virtually ceased. Americans were
also warned mat they must give plen
tifully so that the war may continue
to a victorious end. District Attorney
Manley spoke for nearly half an hour
and frequently his remarks, pointed,
patriotic, were roundly applaunded by
the large audience. The speech was
?.be best that has been delivered in
Seward and every word was spoken
with a thrust that should have found
its mark.

The tendency of the modern face,
according to Professor James Keith,
lecturer on anthropology at the Royal
Institute, is to become wedge-shaped,
with a longer, narrower and more
prominent nose. Prominences above
the eyes are disappearing, and the
brow is becoming smooth and of an
even contour. The changes in the hu
man face, declared the scientist, are
due to changes in methods of masti
cation from the earlier days of the
human race.

For the month of December the cost

EARLY SPRING SALADS AND
GREENS.
Before It Is warm enough to do any
outside gardening In the states where
frost Is found five
mouths of the year, a
small shallow bos which
may serve as a window
box In the summer may
be used. If the soil Is fer
tilized, the year round.
In the winter pepper
grass, lettuce, eadlshes,
. parsley chives and various herbs for
seasoning may be grown. A small bit
of the green but an Inch or two In
height will furnish a flavor for sand
, wlches. Tender pepper grass will
soon reach four inches in height and
may be used In combination with other
vegetables, the slight pungent flavor is
i especially appetizing in early spring.
Before the first leaf of the dande
lion puts forth Its head, cover a patch
of the plants with boards, so that the
crisp white leaves may be served
1 fresh as a salad.
1 Mint is an early arrival and may be
hurried if In a sheltered sunny spot.
1 A few of the first green buds finely
I minced and steeped in hot vinegar
! with n small amount of sugar Is a
most delicious sauce to serve with
lamb. It Is also relished when chop
| P0<1 and added to lettuce and pepper
; ttrnss with a little chopped green onion
mnldng a most refreshing salad.
Watercress is another green that is
I most wholesome. When one is fortu
nate enough to live near a brook
where it may be gathered often it
should be a frequent salad. Served
with a sprinkling of salt ft is used as
a garnish for chops, but combines
well with other vegetables. The snap
py little green is also a welcome addi
tion to bread and butter sandwiches.
Milk weed when It first comes up
in the spring rivals asparagus and the
poke grown In the southern states Is
another welcome green vegetable. Sor
rel, dock, mustard and various other
weeds are nil good wholesome greens.
The marsh marigold or cowslip ns
well as the dandelion are favorite
greens cooked until tender with a lit
tle salt pork for flavor, or served well
seasoned as any vegetable. The medi
cinal value of greens cannot be over
estimated. / They contain a growth
determinant which is especially Im
portant in a child’s diet.

CHAS. A. SULZER
Candidate for Re-election
As
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
‘Tn deciding t° enter tne primaries as a candidate for Delegate to Congress
rom Alaska, I feel impelled to make a brief statement to the people of the
erritory It is now nearly a year since I was seated in the House as Alaska’s
epresentative to congress. During the most of this time the United States
las been engaged in a world war, and every resource of the nation including
noney and man power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning this
pat war. Every member of congress in considering legislation for the na
ion has placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
^..subordinated his desires to the military establishment of the United States
Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given her share
vilhngly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party went before the peo
0 e of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a certain constructive
iiogram v\hich embodied as its principal elements a wider measure of
iome rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy in the develop
ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneers of the coun
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
m pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home rule the
ominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all, and
he protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eighty rod
eservation. B J
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
( hanging the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to
ise the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
’’Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of
he territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some nieas
ire of progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
lelped the prospector by suspending assessment work on claims during the
ears 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to
he second series of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
he farmers of the interior from supplying army posts with (heir vegetables
ire canceled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska have
ome to mo from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire to
erve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
or the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress.”
