KAISER’S FRIENDS ARE PAWNS
I
Sweden now sees the true kaiser.
Since the war began Sweden and
Norway have done what they could
to help Germany. Their boats have
been sunk in the submarine warfare,
but their loyalty to the Germans was
not changed. At times it looked as if
they might join Germany in the war,
and British sea power, it is believed,
alone kept them from taking this step.
Now the kaiser has stolen Finland.
Sweden w-as robbed of Finland in 1809
and she would like to have the prov
ince again. Germany has also actu
ally seized the Aaland islands in the
Baltic from Sweden.
The Swedes should learn and recite
what Shakespeare had to say on the
subject of ingratitude.
The kaiser has a “policy” and foes
and friends are nothing but pawns in
the game that he plays.

WALKING FOR HEALTH
J “ ’
As long as man has two legs and
open thoroughfares he never need lack
the meanse of getting invigorating ex
ercise.
People do not walk as much as they
used to. They are too busy, or rather,
they asume that they are.
f* If you are one of those who have
given up walking for recreation and
exertion, try walking part way home
after your work Test out your lungs
puffing up some of Cordova’s grades.
You may find your breathing appar
atus so wheezy that you will decide
to walk every day to get back some
•Of the wind that you havo lost in the
fcOhrse of the years.
Set a stiff pace for two miles to your
door. When you get there you will
feel beter „or worse. In either case
the result will show that you should
keep it up. If the brisk exercise
makes you feel worse—nervous, tired
—you may take it for granted that
you are actually in a pretty bad state
and that unless you take more exer
cise and develop the proper stamina
you are likely to be enumerated some
morning among the increasing number
of business men who pass away pre
maturely in their prime.
When a person really walks, with
legs, body, and arms, the whole sys^
tern is given employment and the ef
fort is a wonderful stimulation. Take
it up if you have no other form of
exercise,, and it will keep you from
getting old before your time.

NOW
Queen Nicotine has stood a great
deal of abuse in the world. But she
has absorbed punishment as though
she had been trained for It.
Many hard words have been said
against her; but while her friends
were as many as the sands of the
sea, in their thoughtlessness they did
not defend her unless it was to write
a short poem to the curling smoke
or to indite a paragraph to the solace
that a good cigar imparts to the heart
of a man. i
Now the advocates for the defendant
are many, and their laudation is heard
on every side.
The soldier writing from France ie
as quick to complain about pool
French tobacco as about the scarcity
of bath tubs.
The officer arriving in Paris goei
to the railroad station and findB hii
trunk missing. It cannot be located
and he gives it up for lost.
Does he complain about the loss ol
t
/■»
-I a ••
fir, f27 toots and of his $45 extra
uniform? Perhaps he does, provided
that trunk is not the one that con
tains all of the supply of tobaccc
that he took across with him.
Queen Nicotine is courted on everj
side; many of her former accusers
now do not hestitate to give to the
tobacco fund; there are none left tc
drive her forth.
And after all what is there that
gives a man so much satisfaction as
a few fragrant leaves of the weed in
pipe or cigar?
it harms the health? A little, per
haps, but there are things in life more
precious than hours, and an intimacj
with Queen Nicotine is one of thorn
smokers believe.

THE PASSWORD—“WAR”
“We have got to reach the place,
each one of us, where we define ev
ery decision in our lives as an act
of war policy.
“Everything that we do, plan, eat,
wear, must be analyzed and measured
from one single point of view—will it
contribute to the carrying on of the
war, or will it contribute to its pro
longation?
“There is no other thing in the
world for us to do but to define ev
erything in our lives as acts of mili
tary policy.”—Dr. Alonzo Taylor.
Vital Need of Present Hour Is Real
Peace That Will Be Lasting
* ^ By WILLIAM ALMON WOLFF
Every one wants peace. But it must be a real peace. The last hope of
a beaten Germany is to get a peace that will Sot be a real one. Clear,
straight thinking in America will help to make that impossible. That,
after all, is the vital need to this hour. It isn’t straight thinking that led
some people to see, in Von Hertling’s reply to President Wilson’s last
speech, an agreement in the matter of Belgium. The German chancellor
said, in effect, that Germany had never meant to keep Belgium, and that
the whole matter of Belgium w’as one to be brought up in the peace con
ference. ' »
Never! The only question that can even conceivably come up concern
ing Belgium in the peace conference is that of the exac^ method by which
Germany is to make what little reparation money can make for the crime
of rape. There can’t be a peace conference, even, until Germany has agreed,
convincingly, to evacuate Belgium and repair the wrong sue has none 1
there. And that applies as much to northern France and to Serbia as to
Belgium.

A Group of Prominent Bankers and Capitalists Conceived the Idea of
and Financed tho
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. Tho
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.
j Complying with the laws and regulations governing the Instltu
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.
