HERE’S THE BIG IDEA
This war is your war. Uncle Sam’s
voice is just your voice multiplied a
hundred million times. His active
operations on land and sea are his
answer and yours to the doctrine of
force—the barbaric doctrine that
‘‘might is right.”
Plainly, we must win this war or
go under. We must use all the re
sources of the country to win. We
need all the men and machinery of
war we can transport to the western
front. We must conquer the Hun
there or he will subdue us here.
Get the big idea! It’s freedom—
or slavery. Freedom for ourselves
and our children for generations—or
slavery under the Hun.
Perhaps you can do little. All
rght! But—do the little you can.
Be thrfty! Save the dimes, quarters
and half dollars you allow to slip
through your fingers, and—invest in
War Savings Stamps.

USE OF NATIVE FRUITS
i --
In most families fruit is thought of
as an extra bit taken often between
meals, usually to aleviate a thirst
or simply because it tastes good.
The latter fact reveals much in that it
signifies that the system craves the
acids, sugars and other constituents
of fruit. A study of available fig
ures shows that fruits constitute a by
no means unimportant part of the diet
since they supply about 4.4 per cent
of the total food and 3.7 per cent of
the total carbohydrates of the aver
age American diet. Fruits and ber
ries together with green vegetables
Supply the body also with minerals it
needs and with bulk, which is an es
sential factor in diet. Containing but
little protein, fruits, fresh, dried and
preserved are then the sources of en
ergy, rather than tissue builders.
At first thought, it seems to many
of us that the berries around here are
scarcely worth bothering about. We
pick a few salmon berries with no
further thought than eating them at
once. But, as a matter of fact, we
have berries in plenty right around
here, to fill completely our jelly
glasses and .jam pots. The blue ber
ries picked green or when they are
just below a dead ripening make a
jelly ot delightful flavor or may be
canned by just heating them through
well and sealed. Many have failed
in putting these up because the fruit
has been cooked too long and has then
turned out mostly juice with a few
Bhriveled berries. They are very wel
come then in gelatine desserts, pies,
and blue berry bettys. Then there is
the often despised ‘high bush cran
berry that grows in almost every
swampy spot around here. When
picked before they are ripe and mixed
with apple juice these barries make
as good a meat jelly as currants or
gooseberries. Salmonberries, the yel
low or the red, also make a delicious
jelly. Then there is a wild goose
berry, eometimes called wild currant,
very dark, with little spines on It,
that also is good. Alaska is famous
for her wild strawberries, and for
tunate indeed is the woman who can
get some of them to put up. They
are small, but wonderfully sweet.
Then there is the Nagoon berry, which
some consider superior to the straw
berry in flavor. It makes good sauce
and preserves, and a jelly with a
piquant flavor that can not be dupli
cated. In August or September these
berries are best, and often find their
way into the stores.

Every Coat Should Have a Stiver Lining []
Now we have not all access to these
fruits; some of us can not get out
to gather them. But to those who
can “Pick all you can get for your
self and then get some for your neigh
bor who can not go.” We must work
together and for each other. That
way alone can we all pull through the
days that are to come.
NEW DISEASE^ DEVELOPS
ON FRENCH BATTLEFIELDS
LONDON, June 26.—“Trench mouth”
is one of the war diseases which is
engaging the attention of British army
doctors. Cases of the disease have
been for some time under observa
tion and treatment in both the Brit
ish and French armies. It appeared
first in the German army, where ex
perts attributed it for a long time to
their war bread. Later observers
thought it arose from a prolonged diet
of canned food.

ENGLISH PUBLICIST'S
ITU FOR HEMPER5
LONDON, June 26.—Lord Beaver
brook. head of the British propa
ganda department, who is Max Ait
kin, writer of eye-witness accounts
for the Canadian army early in the
war, is trying to obtain an increased
supply of paper for daily and weekly
publications in England. He believes
that the restrictions on paper are too
drastic. The newspapors, he argues,
play such an important part in the
conduct of the war that they should
be treated more liberally by the gov.
eminent.

A Group of Prominent Bankers and Capitalists Conceived the Idea of
and Financed the
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 i
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 requlremnt 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.
