PROTECT THE LITTLE TOTS
If experiences of the past may
be taken as a criterion, many bright
happy children who are now enter
ing upon their school terms with high
hopes and ambitions will be burned
to death through the negligence of
those wThose solemn duty it is to pro
tect them from such a fate.
School boards and teachers have
a grave responsibility in this matter,
a responsibility that is often not re
alized until too late. The condition
of buildings, heating apparatus, light
ing arrangements and provision for
speedy exists should have the person
al attention of school authorities. Sys
tematic and rigid fire drills should
have a regular place in the routine
of every school.
Especial , danger arises when the
.school house is used for entertain
ments at night. One has only to
recall the pitiful tragedies of the
past two years to realize what hor
rors may result from stupidity and
negligence.
In one case dozens were roasted
to death through the overturning of
a lamp in an upper room crowded
with children and their parents,
when the only small door, opening
toward the inside, was closed and
blocked in the mad rush. In another
instance inflamable Christmas dec
orations caught fire in a school room
where the windows were barred with
heavy wire netting, the frenzied
crowd choked the only exit, result
ing in nearly half a hundred deaths.
Failure to take eviery possible pre
caution for the prevention of such
heart-breaking disasters is wantonly
criminal.
, GIVE CHILDREN MILK
--
During the last few years much
has been done toward educating
the public to the great value of milk
to the growing child. As a result
milk consumption has not only been
enormously augmented, but the pro
duction of better grades under im
proved sanitary conditions has been
.encouraged.
As an argument for the further in
creased use of milk, we can not do
better than to quote two high au
thorities on the subject. Dr. W. S.
Rankin, the efficient state health
officer of North Carolina, recently
declared that “upon an adequate
milk supply the future of the child
and of the race is dependent more
perhaps than on any other single
factor.”
Dr. E. V. McCollum of Johns Hop
kins University, whose vitamin dis
coveries have made him world-fam
ous, says:
“The people W’ho have achieved,
who have become large, strong, vig
orous people, who have reduced their
infant mortality, who have the best
trades in the world, who have an ap
preciation of art, literature, and mu
sic, and who are progressive in
science, and in every activity of hu
man intellect, are the people whc
have used milk and its products lib
erally.”
ATTEMPT NOME FLIGHT
t --
Capt. Roald Amundsen, with an Ital
ian dirigible airship, and a crew o:
^picked men, including Col. Umbertc
Natoli of the Italian Naval Aircrafi
’ .station at Rome, constructor of the
Dirigible, whicji has now been nam
ed the “Norge,” will attempt to fly
over the pole to Nome about May 29,
next.
They expect to land at Nome the
same day they leave Spitzbergen. The
ship is the same type that the local
airship company have recommended
• for Alaskan use, and cost $75,000 ex
clusive of duty and wireless equip
| ,ment. *
, Mr. Langley, Seward official of the
i Alaska Dirigible Corporation has just
received a photograph of the ship,
and he expects to be in Nome in
May, to witness the expected arrival
and to confer with Col. Natoli. Dur
ing the winter it is planned to order
both an Italian Roma and a Good
| year-Zeppelin, the latter nowr being
made af Akron, Ohio, under direction
of Dr. Hugo Eckener and staff wTho
■ brought over the Shenandoah.
Did you ever stop to think about
’ tiie nearness of Alaska to Spitzber
jgen, Scandinavia and North German
ports. This proximity, taken in con
nection with 24 hours of daylight in
spring and summer months suggests
j the possibility of passenger travel
between Alaska and Europe in less
than 24 hours. Fairbanks is closer
; to the pole by 15 miles than is Nome
land much closer to European ports,
and being terminus of the railwray
. line, it is not beyond possibility that
! passengers who breakfasted in Ger
| many 'will reach Alaskan destina
tions in time for dinner in the not
distant future. Success of the Amund
sen trip—and Amundsen has repeat
; edly said that a dirigible and only
a dirigible would be successful, means
I that soon AlasKan skies will be alive
'with powerful dirigible aircraft.
The wTealth of Alaska will be brot
out tomorrow as never yesterday.
The success of the dirigible will
bring Alaska’s population and devel
op her mineral and agricultural lands.
Mr. Langley states that Alaskan
strawberries can be delivered in Se
attle in 24 hours and would command
peak prices. In addition to the ini
tial ship, it is expected that other
ships or various sizes will be order
ed periodically and that service lo
cally will be under way within a few
months.

Back Bad Today?
Then Find th* Cause and Correct It
As Other Folks Have.
There’s little rest or peace for the
backache sufferer.
Days are tired and weary—
Night brings no respite.
Urinary troubles, headaches, dizzi
ness and nervousness, all tend to pre
vent rest or sleep.
Why continue to be so miserable?
Why not use a stimulent diuretic
to the kidneys?
Use Doans Pills.
Thousands recommend Doan’s.
Read this interesting case:
Mrs. F. W. Baker, 409 1st East
St., South Bend, Wash., says: “I suf
fered severely with backache. For
days at a time I went around all
bent over because of the terrible
pain in my back. Some mornings I
would have to be helped up and I
was hardly able to move about for a
whole week. Doan's Pills removed
all the trouble and I have had no re
turn of it since.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Baker had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
