A string of barges piled high with
all kinds of food were threading their
way down New York harbor to de-
posit their cargoes in the open sea.
Tons of the food were perfectly good'
but all of it was going to be thrown
to the fishes.
AS the barges passed by an incoming
liner, a passenger, leaning over the
taffrail, exclaimed:
Well, I've travelled all over the
world and seen terrible waste of food
in the tropics, but 1 should have
thought a big city like New York
would have found something better to
do with all this stuff than throw it
away"
Economists agree that all over the
world people waste as much food as
they consume. Practical men who have
studied the subject say that the inhab-
itants of American towns and cities are
more wasteful than similar commun-
tiles in Europe, and that in New York
the greatest waste occurs.
New York is far and away the
most wasteful of all our cities" said
an official who has had great expert
enCe in the disposal of refuse in sever
al American communities. Flat lie
Ieads almost inevitably to waste. In
Philadelphia there are comparatively
rev fats, and probably not one-hun-

as low as is convenient for the cook
to work under, collects all the steam
and odors and passes them out of the
house.
Electric Ranges In High Favor.
The best ranges are now made Of
! sheet steel and malleable iron, with as
bestos lining for the fiues and ovens.
| No fire bricks are used and much less
| fuel is required than in the old ones.
These ranges are made with combina-
ton coal and gas apparatus, so that
either may be used.
The electric range is making its way
in some of the homes of millionaires,
when the chefs have to be electricians
| as we'll as masters of cookery. 1t is
. also used in many of the most exclu-
sive small apartments in New York
and Chicago.
In the latter case, the range is made
OF heavy earthenWare or soapstone,
solid or built Of tiles. 1t consists
simply of series of shelves with
points of attachment to let the cur
rent into the back.
In elaborate kitchens the buffers

can be kept at exactly the right
point by means of an automatic
switch.

foods hot while waiting for their serv-
ice, are also considered necessities in
large modern kitchens, while an Alad-

How Walls and Floor Are Treated.
The walls of the kitchens in the new
dwelling and apartment houses are
tiled. cemented made of vitrified
brick, lined with marble their entire
hight or wainscoted as high as de-
sired, then furnished like the ceiling
with enamel paint.
The tile in mosaic effects. or in
white and the delft blue, makes IA
beautiful finish; but cement is equally
sanitary, vastly cheaper, and when
thoroughly enameled is both water
and vermin proof.
There are differences of opinion re-
garding the treatment of the floor.
While vitrified thing laid on in by
drauic cement or mosaics are ideal as
far as cleanliness is concerned, both
are hard on the feet of the workers
and cold in winter. In many of the
finest houses hardwood floors are pre-
ferred, and these are frequently COW
cred with Iinoleum. Rubber rugs are
used in places where much standing is
required
In many kitchens the solid porcelain
sink stands out from the wall thus al
| lowing all sides to be thoroughly
cleaned. The pipes are nickel-plated
and fully exposed.
In one well-ordered kitchen. walls,
floors, ceilings, sinks, and mortars are
all of white marble, but the cooks

four or FIVE inches thick. The beauty
of this is that it is practically noise

benefits enhanced by moving the stick

". Deep Breathing.-This exercise
is of most vital value, as it enables in

habit of breathing with only a portion

lifted, the upper part of the chest is

filled with pure out-of-door air. This
exercise is practically useless IN
doors. 1t must be performed in the
open and in a place where there is not
much dust as in the woods or on a
lawn. 1t is permissible in this case
to breathe through the mouth, but
from this exercise the pernicious habit
of mouth breathing must not be con-
tracted.
To do the exercise, grasp the cane
in the hands, palms outward, and hold

Daily Mail Asked For

Petitions have been circulated
throughout the county during the past
week and generally signed asking for
the establishment of daily mail service
between the islands and Bellingham
bay. Tie Whatcom Reveille seems to
have taken the initiative In the matter,
one of its employees having circulated
the petition here. The probability is
that the postal department will reply
that there is already daily service to
and from the islands, six days a week,
and that it is impracticable to change
the schedule or add to the service In
the manner asked. There are eighteen
postoffices in the county, fifteen
of which have steamboat service
Eight of these are ON both the Thomp-
son and Buckeye routes, while four are
served by the Buckeye only, viz, Doe
Bay; Port Stanley, Thatcher and De-
catur, and three by the Thompson
Richardson, Argyle and Roche
Harbor. The Otis postoffice is served
overland from Richardson, while the
Provost Stuart island) office is reached
by launch from Roche Harbor and the
Waldron island Office by launch from
Deer Harbor, each having semi-weekly
service. Whatcom people are desirous
of having a steamer leave here each
morning, making a round trip daily.
Commenting upon The alleged made
quate service rendered by the steamers
now on the two routes, the Fairhaven
Herald recently said, "The trodble ii
not 50 much with the steamers as with
their rowing schedules" Now If the
Herald's authority on insular affairs
will submit plan whereby daily
round-trip service can be furnished be-
tween here and Whatcom, touching
the important intermediate points
without running upon "roving sched-
ulen the postoffice department will
doubtless be quick to adopt it. The

Project to Secure Daily Mail Service Be-

A growing interest is manifested in
the question of incorporating Friday

long ago. The longer it is delayed the
longer will the growth of the town be
retarded by lack of modern improve
ments which. can be secured only
through concerted effort and the pro-
lection afforded by reasonable fran
chlses to capital invested III such en-
terprises as electric light and water
works. 1t is ridiculous that town of
this size, and especi lily u county seat,
should be as destitute of local govern
ment as pasture. Not single argu-
ment worthy the consideration of any
progressive citizen can be advanced
against incorporation. Not the slight
est difficulty would be experienced in
selecting mayor and five representa-
tive citizens as members of the council
who could be implicitly relied upon to
insure conservative and economical
government. They would be required
to serve without pay and administra-
tive expenses would be nominal. The
Improvements which are most needed

would be made by private capital,
which will not invest in such projects.

VIM. Houston shot


VIM. Houston, of Roche Harbor, was
shot through the lungs Saturday morn
ing while hunting on Stuart island, the
shot having been fired by Thomas
Johnson. 1t is the old story Of mis-
taking man for deer. Neither
of the hunters knew that the other
was near. Both were moviI & stealth
lily through the woods and Johnson
noticing a movement i'm the brush as
sumed that there was deer there and
shot without waiting to investigate.
Mr.. Houston was struck on the left
side just below the collar-bone, the bull
let passing through the breast-bone and
penetrating the upper lobe of both
lungs, coming out just under the right
collar-bone. When he brsathes, the
air passes in and out of the open
ings. There is some hope of recovery.
The wounded man, who has long been
resident of Roche Harbor where he
has wife and several children, was
taken to Johnson's cabin and Mr..
Lomberg went i'm his LAUGH to Roche
Harbor for DR.. Capron.

Dist. No.
Thomas Dissents

The recent Bnghton-Thomas assault
case has attracted some attention out
side of San Juan and Whatccm coun-
ties. The Olympia Recorder makes
the following comment upon il:
Justice Blair, of Friday Han bor, has
handed down decision to the effect that
it is not an offense, under the law, for an
armed man to threaten to shoot through
Thomas pants Inasmuch as the Thomas
referred to was wearing the aforesaid
pants at the time the threat was made, II
Is safe to assume that he does not concur
in the opinion of the learned justice."i
The Recorder is quite right in as.
suming that Thomas dissents and lis
dissent Is the more earnest, perhaps,
because Of the fact that incidentally
Brighton announced his intention TO
to "burn his (ThomasO hide" which
he could hardly avoid doing If he shot
Through Thomas pants unless he
could find spot where there was con-
siderable slack.

Thanksgiving at School

Appropriate Thanksgiving exercises
were held in the several departments
of the public school, the lower rooms
having their programs Wednesday and
the grammar and high schools Friday.
When the school society was called to
order Friday afternoon the large, pleas
ant room presented very attractive
appearance. The. border above the
blackboard was decorated with Thanks
giving emblems made with bright COL
ored crayons, and in the morning a
beautiful picture entitled "A Thanks
giving Feast" was on the board. 1t
consisted of rose, some books and a
small basket of grapes. 1t was intend
ed by our teacher as reminder that
we should not let our hunger for tur-
key dinners outweigh in our minds our
hunger for learning and our love for
the beautiful.
Peter Hansen's essay on "The Puri-
tans' and Alice Swseney's essay on
"Ths First Thanksgiving Day" were
both excellent and gave good idea of

they led.
