LONDOX.—“Pussyfooting” is the
term the newspapers and British
liquor interests have given the cam
paign to make England dry, and
“pussyfeet” is the title they have
given those members of parliament
and American Anti-Saloon league
workers who are pressing the move
ment.
It has been announced that there
is abundant money behind the move
ment, and the nucleus of a parlia
mentary prohibition party has been
formed by nine members of the
house of commons to first fight for
the retention of war-time liquor'
regulations while forming their lines
for more drastic action.
Harrogate, a health resort with
some 80 mineral springs, was se
lected as the first object of attack,
and a number of speakers were sent
there to spread the “dry” doctrine.
It was also decided to pay particu
lar attention to Scotland, where,
under new regulations, local option
is possible. Other plans, it was
announced, are in the making, and
within a year the campaign will be
in full swing.
Most of the newspapers have done
nothing but ridicule the movement,
and urge that, owing to the climate,
British men and women needed
stimulants and would never volun
tarily relinquish their alcohol.
Lady Henry Somerset, late presi
dent of the British Woman's Tem
perance association, is quoted as
expressing the opinion that the pro
hibition campaign will do positive
mischief by making prohibition ap
pear to be the sole alternative to
a return to the pre-war position.
The liquor interests say they have
not given the question much atten
tion. professing to believe that the
| prohibition experiment in the Unite;!
! States will fail and therefore there
j will be no need for action in Eng
| land.

MONUMENTAL MISTAKE
DECLARES W. G. M'ADOO
SAX FRAXCISCO. — The World
Trade club of San Francisco con
tinues to receive authoritative sup
port in its campaign for world-wide
use of metric units.
A strong statement from William
G. McAdoo, war-time secretary of
the treasury and director of rail
roads, has just been transmitted.
At the recent banquet given in
Xew York city by the Pan-American
Society of the United States to
President Pessoa of Brazil, he de
clared : “A very important thing is.
the adoption of the metric system.
It was a most unhappy event that
the metric system was ever defeat
ed when it came up here—a monu
mental mistake. If taken up seri
ously and applied intelligently we
could get it transformed in a few
years, and it would do more for
the development of trade than any
thing ever yet attempted.”

conscious to the last,
i The deceased had suffered several
attacks prior to the last one, which

j of the death and word will be await
| ed from them before arrangements
| are made for the funeral.

| years ago, and was a resident of

| to enter the employ of the Com
|mission. At the time of his last
j illness, he was employed as estimator
at Camp 423, on the Xenana-Fair
i banks line. He first began work
jas a timekeeper, on March 1, 1917.
| He was 27 years of age at the time
| of his death.

■Jack took a prominent part in ath
letics and was rated one of the
ibest baseball players in the camp,
■his pitching being largely responsi
ble for the splendid showing made
| by the Xenana team during the
recent series with Fairbanks. He
was very popular here and in Fair
banks, leaving a large number of
friends in both towns to mourn his
, loss.

The many friends of Adolph Bock,
sourdough Hot Springs mining man,
will be interested in the following
clipping, from an Omaha paper, re
garding the latest adventure of the
oldtimer's former Alaskan wife, who
i
became pretty well known along the
river during the brief time she re
sided in Interior Alaska:
“Mrs. Anna Bock, 4650 Dodge
street, widow of A. D. Bock, Omaha
man, who made a fortune in Alas
!ka gold mines, was married Wed
nesday to Charles Van Knuth. Oma
ha real estate man, according to
word received by friends. The mar
iriage took place in Lincoln and
Mr. and Mrs. Van Knuth are said
'to have returned to Omaha Wed
nesday night, although they were
jnot at the Bock home Thursday.
| Van Knuth is a Danish nobleman.
“Mrs. Bock was married to her
j former husband in Fairbanks, Alas
ka. where she had gone on business,
and where she met Bock for the
first time. At that time Bock was
a prospector, but had not struck
pay dirt. After the marriage, Mrs.
Bock came back to Omaha and
waited for her husband. When Bock
finally struck it rich he sent gold
back to Omaha by the bushel.
“During the summer of 1914.
Bock's mines turned out gold at
the rate of $25,000 per month.
When Mrs. Bock purchased an ex
pensive automobile from George
Reim, she took him down to a safety
deposit vault and paid for it in
gold—so much that Reim had to
call an automobile to take it to
the bank.
“Bock was a sailor before the
mast and got stranded in Fairbanks.
He couldn't, get away because of
lack of money, and he remained
there long enough to catch the gold
fever. That was nineteen years
ago. For eleven years he worked
in the towns in the winter in order
to get money enough to prospect in
the summer. Then he ‘arrived’ and
his mine poured out a golden stream
of wealth."
A CHILLY REMINDER
is that blighting first-frost. Look
over your last year’s underwear;
give attention to partly worn mack
inaws, jackets and fur coats, caps
and robes. Have them mended and
cleaned at moderate prices, before
winter sets in, by
