hot water. When half roasted add
vegetables removed from the brine.
A little later add one-third of the
brine in which beef soaked over
night. When meat is tender, remove
from rooster and make a gravy by
adding one-half cup of sour cream
and enough flour to thicken. Serve
hot, cutting beef in thin slices with
gravy poured over it. If one wishes
to decorate this delicious dish,
sprinkle cut-up capers over it.
Breads.
Southern Cornbread-Sift together
one-half teaspoon baking soda, one
half teaspoon salt. one cup cornmeal.
one cup white flour, one-half cup
sugar. Beat two eggs into one cup
sour milk Cor sour cream, mix in
the sifted ingredients. Use one tea
spoon more butter with two table
spoons of lard if milk is used instead
of cream.
Nut Bread-Sift together two cups
flour, four level teaspoons baking
powder and half teaspoon salt. Add
one cup finely chopped nuts. Beat
one egg without separating, add one
cup sweet milk; mix these with flour,
turn into CREASED pan, let stand fif-
teen minutes, bake in moderate oven
forty-five minutes.
Brown Bread-Two cups graham
flour, two tablespoons sugar, pinch
salt, half cup Orleans molasses, one
well-beaten egg, one cup sour milk
half teaspoon soda dissolved in milk
one cup chopped rafsins, one cup
chopped hickory nuts. Bake one hour.
, Odd Uses for Egg Whites.
The white of a raw egg makes a
most satisfactory paste, and for some
things is better than any prepared
mucilage or paste.
Dip into the white of an egg the pa
pers intended for covers to tumblers
of jelly or jam. They will hold securely
and will be air tight.
In making mustard plasters mix in
the white of an egg, and there will be
no danger of burning the flesh.

Household Hints
The Table.

Baked Peas (to be served instead of
meat)-Soak one pound dried peas
several hours, then boil until tender.
Chop fine one large onion and brown
in butter; add to peas, which have
been well drained, and turn into but
tered baking dish. Pour over enough
white sauce to cover surface, sprinkle
with bread crumbs and grated cheese,
dot with bits of butter and brown in
hot oven a few minutes.
Roast Hamburger With Tomato
Sauce-To twenty cents worth OF
hamburger steak add one-third loaf

Iicious old German recipe: Make a
sour brine by taking one quart water
and two cups vinegar; add salt and
pepper. Slice into this a few onions
and carrots. Now add sirloin roast
of beef. Allow meat to remain in
brine over night. Next day remove

incidentally, the vote of So to IA by
(which the senate tabled the Gore reso-
luton warning Americans off armed
merchantmen loses some of its sig
.nificance because of the attitude as
stunned by President Wilson in de-
manding definite action by congress
on this question. OF course, the pres
ident did not go so far as to assert
that congress must endorse his posi-
ytion. But there might be reason to ar
sgue that such was the indirect tenor
of his ultimatum.

OIL PROFITS.

Oil has become such an almost nee
essary commodity and is in such gen
eraI use that it would appear TO an
proach the classification OF a pubic
utility. The pipe line companies that
transport it here and there are regu-
lated to a certain extent by public
authority. But the big oil companies
do about as they please as to the
prices they charge and the profits they
reap. The Standard Oil company of
Indiana, one of the chief Rockefeller
concerns, earned no less than 1892
per cent on its capital stock eff $3O.-
100000 in the single year of 1915. If
a railroad, through most careful man
agement, is able to scrape together
anything more than 8 or per cent in
the dividend arena, any requests hat
all the railroads, including those that
earn little or no dividends at all, may
make for increased rates are greeted
with exceedingly hearty outlaws by
railroad regulation enthusiasts.

Strong Bill at 0rphcum.

"The Regeneration" is just what the name implies. It is also one of the strongest motion plays per haps ever shown on the Juneau screen. It is perfect portrayal of the life or the slums of New York's East Side and is also the life story of the author of the book by the same name as the play. The scene settings are of the best and the acting of ever member of the cast is wonderful. The characters are taken from life. and all expect the two principal lead parts arc played by people actually chosen from that section or the city. Rock cliGc Fellows and Anna Nilsson are the principals and each ig a star The fire on the barge crowded with pleasure seekers. the gang fights against the police. the fight in the East Side Suicide Dump" and the final reckoning with the leader O. the gang. are among the many stirring scenes which keep the aud fence on the edges of their seats during the entire performance.

NKindlinpv at Dream.

Maggie Schultz and Heinie Schultz are two great characters in "Kindling." Both are real hu- man beings possessing the right of honorable human beings who want to do the best in this little old world of ours. The problem that confronts these two is over the question of raising a family. This problem is handled with simplicity yet especially plain spoken. Mag gie Schultz fears the consequences of bearing a baby and this leads to tho unravelling of delightful story that is told in the language of today. It is a theme drama of the finest and loses none of it's i'm tensity which made the stage play such remarkable production. Charlotte Walker and Thomas Meighan. the latter who has been seen here before, play the princi- pal parts. This play will be re- peated again tonight.

COPPER PREDOMINATES

In the last fiscal year, which closed June 30, Alaska shipped through Seattle to the markets Of the United States merchandise and precious metals valued at $65,964O00 according to compilation made by the Department Of Commerce and made public yesterday, says the Se- attic Times of Aug. 1st or this amount about $1TOOO,000 consisted of gold and silver.
 From the standpoint of an invest ment, the people of the United States by whom Alaska was purchased for S7,2OO. .OOO, received a dividend of about goo per cent on their invest mcnt this year.
 Alaska's exports to tho United States were double the amount re- corded In 1912, and was only ex- ceeded by ten countries in the world before the outbreak of the European war. Since the war foreign ex- ports have been greatly decreased and Alaska now has leading posi- ton as an exporter.
 Copper Predominant Feature
 The predominant feature of Alas ka's trade for the year, according to an alalysls made by the Bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of Commerce. was the rise of copper to first place among Alaska's staples. More than a year ago, The Times, after careful ana lysis of the Alaskan copper industry predicted that the output of the met al this year would be between $2i,- OOO.OO0 and S25,OOOOO0 Local com merclal organizations thought the es- tlmatc too high, but the actual pro- duction Of S26,4SS.O0O shows that it was conservative. This is an i'm crease of 400 per cent over the ay- craze yield for the three preceding years and exceeds the combined im- ports of copper from Chile, Cuba Canada and Mexico. the leading for cign sources of the red metal
