Nenana is indebted to the Elks
for a very delightful celebration
of the passing of the Old Year
and the coming of the New. That
is the sort of thing that brings
people together and helps mightily
to build up community spirit.
The New Year found the Outside
wet outside and ii.-ide but on the
Inside it was not even wet on the
Outside
Nenanaites must hold themseive?
in readiness to back a movement
to keep the Government hospital
open. There has been some talk
of dosing the institution after the
completion of the steel bridge and
the city council is now at work an
a plan to insure its continued op
erat:on. under the very capable
supervision of Dr. J. H. Romig.
Interior Alaskans have learned, par
ticularly since the coming of Dr.
Romig. to look to the Nenana
hospital for medical and surgical
relief and, being nearest to those
isolated points along the river, ard
to t hose points on tho Nortii^T*
division of the Alaska Railroad
most likely to require hospital ser
vice, the closing of the institution
would work a hardship on a very'
large section of the country. There
is not a doctor on the Tanana riv
er below Xenana. and not one on
the Yukon river below Dawson, a
long stretch of territory directly
tributary to Xenana and which will
be brought into comparatively close
communication with X'enana during
the summer months, following the
establishment of a steamer service
in connection with the railroad.
The thing that makes prohibition
; hard to enforce and hard to under
stand is the fact that the favored
few in various communities through
out the United States are permitted
to enjoy their liquor unmolested.
The enforcement organization high
salaried and made up of grafting
officials, only recently caused a
statement to be issued in
which it was claimed that great pro
cress was being made toward dry
ing up the country; and now c-omt
the reports of N'ew Year's celebra
tions in which it is shown tha: mane
of the largest cities in the country
, were wetter this year than in the
days when there were no restric
tions.
The X'ew Year found *’e Outside
wet on the inside and outside; bu:
on the Inside it was not even wet or
the outside.
Coal of high quality is of sucl
widespread occurrence in the Unite
! States and so accessible to most fuel
' consumers, that mention of the
' word “peat'' means little to Am
| ericans other than memories of its
use ip Europe. However, according
: to a publication of the United
I States Geological Survey, peat oc
curs widely in the States and is a
valuable commodity.
The United States contains 12.
1 000 square miles of unused peat
lands the Survey declares, or an ar
ea more than ten t.mes that of
! Rhode Island, which is capable of
, yielding 14 billion ton? of fuel at
3 cost of SI.50 to So per ton.
' These deposits are found in the
States, mostly remote from coal
I mines. A bulletin issued by the
1 Geological Survey points out thous
! ands of such deposits, owned by
: farmers and other land-owners.
Fifty million tons of peat are used
| annually in Europe, it was said, but
, it is suitable also as a fertilizer and
! in promoting intensive growth of
1 truck crops, both in greenhouse and
in open field. Manfacturers of com
! merciai fertilizers pay as much as
S10 per ton for good peat, it was
' added. The present output is a
bout 100.000 tons annually. In some
parts of the country the yearly pro
ceeds from the intensive culture of
peat and muck soil for lettuce.

/ Delicious
il Hams and Bacon
There Is No Waste
Experts in the art of cooking agree on one thing, namely that
it pays to buy the very best. FRYE'S DELICIOUS HAM and
FRYE S DELICIOUS BACON do not cost any more in the end
than ordinary ham and bacon as there is no wast-every bit
eaten, every bit relished by the family. That’s because FRYE
DELICIOUS HAM and FRYE’S DELICIOUS BACON, just as
the name implies, are dee-licious.
M K'
!
Made from choicest young, corn fed porkers, produced und
er the Government’s method for preparing hams and bacons of
the richest and most delicate flavor, FRYE'S DELICIOUS
BRAND HAMS and BACON’ are the last words in choice foods.
Most good Alaska dealers handle them. If vours does not we
would appreciate being advised of the fact.
We urge Alaska housewives to try FRYE’S WILD ROSE
LARD if they want something better than ordinary lard for cook
ing and baking. It contains the rich leaf and back fats. NOT
FOUND IN ORDINARY LARDS.
