BURNSIDE IS NOW AT TACOMA DRY DOCKS

Under date of May 13 the Juneau
 Empire prints a telegram from Ia coma stating that the cableship Burn
 side is on the drydocks there and will probably remain for about three
 weeks while her rudder, which has
 done service for the past thirty-four years, will be replaced with new one.
 An inquiry at the local cable office as to the truth of this statement re- veals that this is likely to be the case,
 for while no direct information had been received as to the length of time required for the work it was known that the vessel was laid up. In the meantime tests are being made both here and at Sitka to locate
 the break and that will have been ap- proximately ascertained by the time
 the Burnside is ready to leave and
 will greatly facilitate the making of
 the needed repairs.

Deasy and sentenced each to pay fine of $5 or spend twenty-four hours in jail. They languished in custody ill the courtroom while their attorney, Roy Hudson, scurried around for writ of habeas corpus and notices of ap- pea. to the district appellate court.
 Campbell is president of the Pio- neer Mining Company of Nome, and Lindeberg president of the Blue Goose Mining Company, also of Nome.
 The Northern Light Mining Com pany recently got $16,000 judgment against the Blue Goose Company and, seeking to determine California as- sets on which to collect, had the min ing men in court for the second time.
 Hudson advised them not to testify about the assets, holding the Blue Goose, foreign corporation, outside the jurisdiction of the court. W. s. Andrews for the Northern Light Com pany, produced Blue Goose minutes showing that meetings had been held here and the court agreed with him that this put the Blue Goose under the local jurisdiction.

ing fifteen millions of dollars to the

Senator Shafroth devoted the lar
ger part of his time in addressing
the Progressives. He quoted many
CT the planks in their platform Of
1912. The issue of our currency is
fundamentally a governmental funC-
ton; condemns methods of issuing
currency notes through private insti-
tutions and urges control thereof by
the government alone; the prohibi-
ton of child labor; eight-hour day
for continuous labor; the enactment
of further measures for the conserv-
alton of health; favors department
of labor with a cabinet position; the
adoption of an income tax; equal
suffrage for women; the adoption OIL
the initiative, referendum and re-
call; conservation of natural resour-
ces; the early construction OF ma
tional highways; the creation OF
parcels post; opposes the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bill. Senator Shafroth
showed that practically all these de-
mands, made in 1912 by the Pro-
gressive party, have been enacted
into laws whereby peace and pros
perity now abound, and asked II the
Progressives are going to support the
party which has enacted these laws

Practical Lunches For School Children
Mrs. EIoise Young English.

Washington. March 27.-What shall
school children be given TO eat at
noon in the lunch basket. at the home
lunch table, or in the lunch room
operated by the school authorities? TO
help answer this question, which al
most every mother and many of the
educational authorities are asking
constantly, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, through the of
fee Of home economics, has just is
sued Farmers Bulletin No 732, on
school Lunches" This bulletin was
prepared by Miss Caroline l.. Hunt
and Miss Mabel Ward, under the di-
rectiOn Of Or. c. f. LangwOrthy. OF
The states relations service. The bull
letin, after discussing the general
principles of feeding school children
TO provide for activity and develop
them into sturdy manhood and wOm-
anhOOd, gives a number of simple and
appealing menus for the school lunch
basket and bills of fare and recipes
for preparing inexpensive and nOur-
ishing MONDAY meals or hot dishes
for children, either 1T home. on a
school stove, or in the domestic
science kitchen.
Relation of Lunch to Other Meals.
In feeding a child or anyone else.
the authors of the bulletin point out.
it is not wise 10 think OF any one meal
apart from the other Two. 1t is sell
dom convenient to provide al one
meal all the materials needed by a
growing body, and those which are
omitted from one meal should be sup
piled by one of the other meals. The
noon meal for children, however.
where food must be prepared at home
in the morning to be eaten elsewhere
at noon, or where the children must
hurry home, eat quickly, and then
rush back to school, offers special
difficulties and deserves the careful
attention Of parents.
Dietary Essentials for Growing Child.
Before it is possible TO plan a ra-
tional basket or other luncheon for
children, it is necessary for the moth
er to understand the general essen
tails of diet for the young people,
These essentials in general are an
abundance of simple foods, carefully
prepared, and of sufficient variety TO
provide energy. repair wastes, provide
elements for building bone and tissue,
and stimulate growth TO do this most
effectively the three meals each day
must supply the child with sufficient
food from each of the following
classes:
I. Cereal or Starchy Foods-Ce-
reals, eaten principally as bread, sup

or burned. II should be light and free ]
from any suggestion of sourness or
rancidity. The crumb should be elias

broken up in the mouth without fornt

to taste good. These qualities can be
secured in rolls and biscuit as we'll
