Don't Blame the Cook

OUil OlQlllI LIlS OOOA
If your bread and pastry is the
soggy, indigestible misery-making
kind. It's dollars to doughnuts
that the FLOUR is guilty of the
offense.
Our flour makes light, white, de-
licious bread and pastry always.
"Poor Luck" is unknown, where
it rules the cooking. 1t insures
good results because it is uniform
in quality-Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and every day in the
week the BEST.
Candidly, can you afford to go on
using hap-hazard flour when our
mill -to-consumer system puts our
superior product in your home at
less expense?
We cut out the retailers profits.
We sell you flour direct at whole
sale prices. We will save you all
those dollars that the retail dealer
has previously pocketed.
Try our method. You'll never go
back to the old way. Write us for

Train on Northern Pacific Wrecked
While Standing on Bridge.

That trains may be wrecked even
when standing still was proven by an
accident on the Northern Pacific. Be-
tween Wallace and Saltese a trestle
was built on a reverse curve. II was
about 300 feet long and reached a
height of about so feet. The night be-
fore the accident a train consisting or
atsnow plough, two engines and two
passenger cars. a eaboose and push
Ing engine had been battling with the
drifts between Wallace and Dorsey,
making slow progress. At z. m. the
IS" bridge was reached, and. the en-
CINE and train crews being exhausted.
It was decided to stop until daybreak.
All sections Of the train were then
coupled, and the crews retired to the
caboose, with the train still standing
on the bridge.
About a. m. a snowslide started up
on the mountain, and, gathering force
In It's progress, swept down and over
the waiting train. The trestle Of the
bridge was swept away, and the ca.
boose, containing eight men. dropped
so feet into the deep snow. Only one
suffered any injury az all, and he got
out Of 1t with a broken hip. There
we're eight or nine passengers In the
coach, and one Of these leaped from
the window and fell 70 feet. He Ak
tricated himself and returned unaided
to the coach. The other passengers

The ever vexatious servant question
is naturally more acute in Alaska than
elsewhere. Wages vary with ones
ability to pay. The wife OF an army
officer stationed at Fort Egbcrt, who
had brought n a Japanese cook, under
contract at SIS month, was forced
to part with him at the end OF a few
weeks, as he was offered $125 a
month. The wives Of the officers at
skagway we're doing their own work,
having also lost for higher wages the
servants they had brought to Alaska
with them. But no hardship er diff
culties seem to deter the American
woman, particularly Of the army. from
what seems to be her place and duty.

however remote or unpromising, that
