HOLSTERS FOR PACIFIC COAST
Large ship~ent Recently Sent Across Continent From Maine to the
 State of Washington.

The most successful long-distance shipment of Holsters on record was recently completed by the United States bureau of fisheries when 5,400 Holsters were sent across the Ameri- can continent from Maine to the state of Washington. This consti- tutes an important step in the bu- reau's endeavors to establish Holsters on the Pacific coast.
 The car containing the Holsters left Boothbay Harbor, Me-, on No vember IS, and arrived at Anacortes, Wash, November 23. Originally there were about 6,0O0 Holsters in the consignment weighing 5000 pounds. At Anacortes the Holsters were transferred to cars, which were lowed to the San Juan islands in Puget sound, a region which previ- ous study had shown to be suitable for the growth of Holsters. The total loss in transit was less than 10 per cent, and the rest were found to be in excellent condition after their long journey.

For cream soups, rice buildings. bread buildings, esealloped dishes of various kinds, as drink. and to be used in breads, it has valuable place.
 Popovers.-Beat two eggs thorough ly, add gradually seven-eighths of cupful of milk, a cupful of flour. half teaspoonful of salt; beat all to- gether two minutes with an eggbeater, then add half teaspoonful of melted butter. If skim milk Is used, add 8 teaspoonful of melted butter.
 Sour Milk Biscuit.-Sift together quart of flour, teaspoonful each of soda, salt and sugar; cut into the flour two tablespoonfuls each of lard and butter and use cupful and a half of sour milk: the milk and flour varies somewhat, SO that the milk should be added to make a soft dough that can be handled. Bake the bis cults in hot oven and serve honey or maple sirup.
 The amount of milk which each in- dividual should consume daily Is es- timated at one quart, the amount we do consume Is small glass. If each housewife would double her milk bill one month, making wise use of the milk in foods, she would find she would cut her grocery and meat bill quite notlceably.

Combine the ingredi- ents and add flor, beating vigorously until no more flour can be added.

The Lessening Submarine Peril.

The important events occurring in Russia and
along the Italian front have resulted in the last few
weeks in drawing general attention away from the
submarines and their activities The under-sea
menace a few months ago constituted the greatest
topic of public interest. 1t said then that if
only this problem could be solved, the war would
be won
The critical situation at present in Russia and
Italy has not however, been the sole cause for the
lessenng of interest in the submarine in allied
countries. This has been effected also by the fact
that Germany's U-boats have been brought under
very noticeable control and the danger to the allied
cause has been thereby greatly diminished. This
statement is given special point by the announce
ment Thursday from London that the British losses
for the past week confined to ship of over
1.6OO tons and five smaller than that weight, max
ing the week a record for low losses. The
most successful week the submarines had was that
ending April % when total of ffty-fve vessels
was sunk and I'm this number were included forty
of more than 1000 tons. .-
Arthur Pollen, British naval expert, in an
interview gives it his opinion that these dimin-
