WILSON WOULD SHUT
 DOWN ON LUXURY WORKS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. D. Restriction of production of mater ials not essential to war is under ser ious consideration by President Will son, and action may be taken soon. Two courses have been generally dis cussed. Under one, the war industries board would enter into voluntary agreements with specific manufactur- CTS of non essentials to reduce their out put gradually. Under the other, the president would issue a general request to manufacturers and rely on their patriotism to follow the sugges- tion. The power behind both plans would be the governments authority to hold up coal shipments to recall citrant producers and to control trans portation through the priority direc- tor of the war industries board.

ing war on a billion dollar scale be- cause there Is no other way in which to win it.
 But appropriations of money and fighting men do not in themselves win modern wars. Nations, not soldiers, wage wars today. It is the full power of Germany, not alone its magnificent army, that we must break; and that result can be accomplished only thru the full and undivided strength of the American nation. We must, to the best of our ability, subscribe to lib- erty bonds, keep the industrial wheels turning, help the Red Cross and in fact back up our fighting men, whom we have sent to the front, with every ounce of our strength, financial, nor al and physical.
 Our part is to win the war. We have entered the struggle on behalf of our own democratic institutions. our individual and national liberties, and on behalf of humanity in general. The shortest road to peace is thru war.

\ BLOW BELOW THE BELT.

Every dollar that you send out of Valdez for goods that may be had in Valdez is in reality a blow at the growth of your home city-a blow be- low the belt.
 These thoughtless out of town pur- chases in the aggregate are keeping Valdez people-maybe your friends and neighbors-out of employment. The greater the volume of business done by Valdez merchants in all lines. the greater the volume of money kept in valdez-and the greater the number of people employed in Val dez.
 The business houses of Seattle or Tacoma contribute nothing to the support of Valdez. They sell nothing that cannot be bought in Valdez. If you want a dollar for a home insti- tuition you do not go to Seattle for it. do you? You collect it from the merchants and citizens of Valdez.
 Your shoe man can give you as good shoes, the hardware man as good hardware, the grocer as good grocer les, as you can get in Seattle. But you say he sells dearer. So do you and you and you sell your product dearer. Therefore the result is the same.
 There is this difference. The pur- chase from your home merchant must be satisfactory or you will take it back to him. The purchase from out-of-town concerns is not seen until it is unwrapped. You have no chance for a satisfactory adjustment.
 If you get your income from Val deg; if your living is made in Val dez, be loyal,
 Don't hit Valdez below the belt.
 Spend Valdez money in Valdez and be known as a true town builder in stead of a town destroyer.

NOT A RIVAL OF THE SUN.

This Shows How puny is the World's
 Biggest Artificial Light.
 Perhaps the biggest artificial light in the world is the 5O.OOO,OOO candle pow CT light installed at the falls of Mag ara. When this gigantic installation was made 1t was claimed to be the nearest approach to real sunshine ever devised by man, and that may be true. But 1t is interesting to ascertain. If possible. how much 1t fell short of the actual output of light by Cur great luminary, and. strangely enongh, there are figures in existence which enable comparison to be made. let 1t may be stated at once that these figures are so stupendous as to leave the hu- man mind absolutely Fin the dark"
 Professor Young made a calculation some years ago. based upon careful and repeated experiments. of the total quantity of sunlight given out by our sun. and he found it to be a quan- tity represented by candles running to twenty-eisht figures. candle power be- ing the official unit.
 How many lights equal to the Mag ara installation would it require t" match Dame Natures big installation which appears above the horizon so regularly day by day? More big fig ures! 1t would require 31 5OO.OOO,OOO.- OOO.OOO,OOO lights just as powerful a> the biggest man has accomplished 'on his own." So even Uncle Sam will have to try again.

BOLo PASHA, The alleged Ger man spy, not only plotted to corrupt the French press in the hope of start ing a peace propaganda. but was in volved in machinations in this coun- try designed to enable Germany to establish protectorate over Mex ico, according to information from Paris.

UNCLE sAM's BIGGEST JOB

The United States. a nation now famous for its success in carrying thru big enterprises. is today up against the biggest job it has tackled in all it's history. It's achievements in the past are dwarfed into significance in com parison with the task which lies be- fore it in it's war against German au- tocracy.
 Fortunately, the people have no reason to labor under any delusion as to the magnitude of the enterprise which they have undertaken. They realize that the war must be waged $500 miles from home and that we must be practically self reliant thru out the war, in addition to rendering substantial aid to the allies. We must supply our own ships to carry our troops and supplies, build our own docks in France-because those now in use already are overcrowded-con- struct our own railroads to the front for the same reason, furnish our own ammunition and food for our men and fight our own battles so far as we are able.
 The record of congress Eliminates our part in the war. Appropriations which compare with ordinary appro- priations as the Panama canal com pares with an irrigation ditch would not have been made except for wag- ing an aggressive war of self-defense. Billions of dollars were voted without a dissenting voice because those bil- lions were absolutely necessary to the conduct of the war. We are wag-

An Historic Battle.

The blind king of the Bohemians was slain and the ornaments on his sword were adopted as the coat of arms of the princes of Wales, the coat of arms being three ostrich feathers with the words "Ich Dien." It was at this bat tie also that cannon were used for the first time in history.

WHEN YOU HAVE FISH.
How to Tsst and Prepare It and How
 It Should Bs Served.

FNs" " svst SHe EFNpSFs tfSW
 t Should Be Served.
 All fish must. of coarse, be strictly fresh. If 1t is easily pulled from the bones 1t is sure sign the fish Is stale. The brightness of the eye is another test of freshness and one that cannot be remedied artifirially. For this reason purchaser should be suspicious of any fish from which the c. es have been re- moved or fish offered for sale without the head. The skin should he smooth and unwrinklcd and the color fresh and clear. Dip in s"alt!ihg water for few seconds to remove the scales or skin.
 Always soak sali fish in salt water instead of fresh water. The strong taste usually su difficult to destroy will be entirely removed and the fish will le more palatable than when soaked in fresh water.
 Fish contain the same kind of nutri- ents as other food materials. When accompanied by bread and butter. pc tatoes. green vegetables and fruit. they provide diet that will supply all the demands of the body. All sorts of fish may be boiled. steamed. baked. plank cd. fried. stuffed. scalloped. served in cream. made into ramekins. crOquettes. salads. served hot or cold in jelly, pot ted and pickled. At conventional dinner fish follows the soup and may be served with potatoes and cucumber or lettuce salad. At home dinner 1t takes the place of meat Do not serve a sweet or heavy dessert at the close Of fish dinner. as the combination is not good. Coffee may be served. but tea is to be avoided after fish Wash ingtOn Star.
