WEDNESDAY. JULY 3. 1918
WHAT FOOD MEANS
Food means life. Lark of food
means death When you waste food,
you are wasting someone’s life.
Stringent measures have been taken
abroad to drive home this fact to
people’s minds. A woman In England
was fined $100 recently and jailed for
thirty days because she threw away
one-half a rice pudding. A baker was
sent to jail for six months for throw
ing away two pies.
Hard penalties, you say? Hut these
people were wasting human lives!
They are murderers.
Scrupulous care is taken that every
bit of food that comes into those
homes across the sea Is saved For
instance, every vessel In which food
has been cooked has water poured
into it. The water is strained and
tin tood which originally adhered to
the side of the vessel is saved and
cooked again.
This is just one example of the ways
in which European housewives are
economizing. We may be very sure
that no food we send to Europo Is
•wasted. , ,
Let’s fill the big ships then, and
send them back with their message
ol life and hope to those women
across the water.
Wheat is the food most needed just
now i.et us do do without it, so far
as wo can altogether if we can, and
most of us are able to do it if we are
in earnest. One way to do it is to
have these wheatless breads instead of
brad with wheat in it

TELLING REPLY
II SLACKER BE
SIB GEDDES
LONDON, July 3—Sir Auckland
Oeddes, minister of national service,
has just scored very effectively in
1 reply to a correspondent who wrote
him protesting against being liable
for military service at eighteen pence
a day. “while you. Sir Auskland, a
younger man than 1 am, remain in
your London office taking ten pounds
a day of your country's money."
To this Sir Auckland replied:
“Sir Auckland Oeddes desires me to
assure you that he does not get the
sum of ten pounds per day. or any
thing approaching it He thinks you
may like to know that he. too, has
served in the ranks as a private at
the rate of pay of one shilling a day;
that he joined the army in the early
days of the war. has been in Prance
and is now only in a civilian posi
tion as lie is unfit for further active
service as the result of injuries re
ceived by him in Prance. Perhaps I
may add that Sir Auckland also has
served in the South African war.”

THE MAIL
The following poem was composed
hy I’ M Bennett. Company E,
Eighteenth Railway Engineers.
"Somewhere in France,” many of
whom are from Cordova. It was pub
Hailed In The Spiker, a trench paper
issued bv the members of the reg*
merit:
_ r-mMiimw-m.
There’s a time in the day with our
soldiers.
Be it somewhere in France or ir
camp.
That the thrills or the day are for
gotten
And their worries and troubles de
camp;
And their fares light up, bright and
eager.
With laughing that tells Its own
tale.
When the bugle calls out clear and wol
come.
That it’s time to distribute the mail.
Now their faces show varied emotions,
As they eagerly scan every page;
Here is one who burst out with laugh
ter.
Another with face set and grave.
But there are some who watch with
longing—
Lonely and sad-eyed men;
Wishing and longing and hoping
That someone would write to them
*
So you who remembered some
Who has gone out to baffle the foe,
j Take your pen and send him a letter,
That will set his heart aglow.
II will make his life seem brighter,
The clouds will lift like a veil,
When lie hears the bugle calling
‘it's time to distribute the mail!"

A Group of Prominent Bankers and Capitalists Conceived the Idea of j
and Financed the j
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.
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 regulremnt of an Inde
pendent bank. Each branch makes full Individual report to th,' 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
tafe deposit boxes. Your account is solicited.
