UNCLE SAM SAYS HOUSEWIVES MAKE FOUR
ERRORS IN FOOD SAVING-CORRECT THEM

many American families meat is
eaten two or three times a day.
The quickest way to save not one
dollar but many would be to cut
down the amount of meat used. One
good meat dish day will provide the
protein required in the diet if such
foods as eggs, milk, cheese, beans
and other legumes are used to re-
place the accustomed extra but I'M
necessary portions of meat.
Here are some of Uncle Sans
tested recipes for making a dish of
meat 'go long way in a large fam
lily:
Roasf-Pork With Cowpeas
For this dish leg of young pork
should be selected. With a sharp
knife make a deep cut in the knuckle
and fill the opening with sage, pep
per, salt and chopped onion. When
the roast is half done scar the skin,
but do not cut deeper than the outer
rind.
When the meat is nearly cooked
pour off the excess of fat and add a
quart of white cOwpeas which have
been previously parboiled or ''huIled''
and cook slowly until quite done and
the meat is brown.
Apple sauce may be served with
this dish.
Mock Duck
Mock duck is made by placing on
8 round steak a Stuffing of bread

BY BIDDY BYE

About 100000 women serve the
nations meals daily, and if each cook
would save 81 year on her meat
and grocery bills, Uncle Sans ma
HonaI savings account would be
S2O,OOO,OOO greater!
No one can save anything by
chance. There must be some plan.
Fortunately, Uncle Sam has many
helpful words for women who are
anxious to profit by his advice.
There are four common errors in
food economy, according to his
warning in Farmers bulletin No. 142.
They are:
First, the costlier kinds Of food are
used when the less expensive are just
as nutritious.
Second, the diet is apt to be one
sided, in that foods are used which
furnish relatively too much of the
fuel ingredients and too little of the
aesh-forming materials,
Third, excessive quantities of food
are used; part of the excess is eaten,
often to the detTiment of health; part
is thrown away in the table and
kitchen wastes.
Finally, serious errors in cooking
are committed.
For the well-to-do, the worst in
jury is that to health. Too much
food occasions waste Of energy. In

If woman has never produced any
great art it is, perhaps, because she
does not greatly care about real art.
Homemade bread is ten times bet
ter than delicatessen rolls; hand
made blouse, cut to fit, is thing of
beauty compared to the factory
sewed article. But it takes energy
to produce the loaf and the waist,
energy promoted by q genuine Joy in
making a perfect thing.
Curiously enough, woman herself
has been the first to realize the sin
of her own slothfUlness. The femin-
lists made the discovery and they

teaching which has made the cult
vastly unpopular among the most
fortunate women, and among men.
1t does, indeed, arouse new forms of
sex antagonism.
Man can easily rule the slothful
woman. But he may well doubt his
when she has learned to work as well
as he does.

FROZEN WHILE
 MAKING A FIAE

Further datailz concarnine t-@ death of George Kagt JsnaHes. well known in interior camps M. was found frozen to death about l. miles below Panama about two Week. ago Eage beea received h"re And they prove conclusiyely that the person who left one Of the lonely cabins along the trail without IeaF- ing shayings and wood for the next who cane is indirectly respan7tbl for the death of Kagi.
 For the body of the Jap was found in a position which indtaatad that he was trying to make d fir7 when the frost reached his yitals An unopened pocket knife Was iyina by the side of the body, mute eEi dence of the fact that the tTozen fingers of tue man did not have strength encdgh left in them to open it The body was lying 5o front of an open Yukon stove.
 The evidence offered at the coro- ner's inquest into the manner oj the Jap's death showed that Kagi insisted in visiting his trap line during the cold weather about Jan uary 20 much against the advice ot the natives. He had evidently in tended to make the tent where his body was found, but cold drove him to tie his dogs, which were found about three miles from the tent He had dropped his ave when about, one-half mile from the tent. He was plentifully supplied with matches

COULTER WOULD
 PLACE NATIVES
 ON RESERVATION
SUPERINTENDENT OF INDIAN SCHOOLS WANTS NATIVES
 TO PATENT GROUND.

Taet mu more could be accom- plishcd in the wey of doing good amone the natives of interior Alas ka if they were banded together more instead of being so widely settled is the opinion of George W Boulter, superintendent of govern mant Indian schools along the Yu- kon river At the present time tae villages of the Indians are wide ly scattered. making it practically impossible for the children to be given a chance ,o attend school or for any of the natives to obtain medical treatment in case of sick ness.
 At the present time Professor Houlter is eTdeavoring to get the natives of Louden and KOyukuk sta lions concentrated in one villago. And 10 that end he has offered them his assistance in procuring a patent to a piece Of land midway between the two villages.
 II is pointed out that. in the event of a consolidation of the vii laees the population would be such that there is but little doubt but that the government would establish q school for the natives. It is also : thought thas resident physician might be available at such a place | in case of illness and a hospital might be established.

 great deal of time during the pres
 ent winter in travelling up and down

 Whereas. The Alaska Bureau ef the Seattle Chamber Of Commerce. has received from the Fairbanks Commercial Club. of Fairbanks, Al aska, cabIegram setting forth the imperative necessity of the early construction of that portion of tho government railroad extending from Fairbanks to the Nenana coal field.
 Whereas, The Alaska Bureau find from the records on file in it's Of fee as set forth in the attached statement of facts
 That the U. s. Geological Sur vey reports to the end of 1914 some sixty-two (62) quartz claims in the Fairbanks District, upon which there has been underground development: that twelve G2) of these properties are equipped with stamp mills; that the output Of these mines totaled to the end of 1914. $851096. and that many of these properties have now ceased operation, due to the excessive cost of fuel.
 That the further development of the Fairbanks gold quartz region is dependent upon cheaper power than can now be developed from the small, scrubby spruce used for fuel, which costs from $1O to SIS d cord;
 That situated on the line of the government railroad now under con stIuction from Seward to Fairbanks is the Nenana coal field about 110 miles distant from Fairbanks, which contains enormous and easily work od beds of coal;
 That some 375 settlers have ta- ken up homesteads in the Tanana Valley. adjacent to Fairbanks, and
 That a market for the produce of these settlers and the business of the town of Fairbanks is largely dependent upon continuation Of the development of the Fairbanks quartz field which can be secured cnly with the cheaper fuel offered by the Nenana coal field.
 It Is hereby resolved by the Alas ka Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, that Hon. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior. under whose direction the govern ment railroad is being constructed, be memorialized 10 use every effort to hasten as rapidly as possible the construction of the government rail road from Fairbanks to the Nenana coal field.

PAYING RENT,

For seven years, in discontent, I leased a humble cot it kept me busy paying rent-it also kept me hot. Each month for seven weary years, l coughed up twenty bones i; handed out the coin with tears, and deep. heartrending groans, The landlord lived in princely state. and when l went to him, and said. "Old Scout. the garden gate is badly out of trim; the doggone roof lets in the rain, and floods our measly hut. each window has a broken pane. the doors will not stay shut" he answered me, "The times are bad, and growing worse, l trow; 1 sim ply cannot spare a scad to fix that cabin now" And at last I bought lowly shack, that measured two by four, with rainpipes running up the back, latchstring on each door Now if the roof is sagging down, or holes are in the stairs, chase no landlord through tfc town, beseeching for repairs. I take my jimmy and my axe, my shotgun and my spade, and plug the holes and fix the cracks, without a land lords add. And there's a pleasure simply great, a sacred sort of glee, in working round your own estate, however small 1t be.
