ORANGES TO DRINK.

Don't imagine that you need to buy
the most expensive oranges If you are
going to use them for squeezing. Here
is good test: Take one of the sort of
small. thin-skinned oranges that one
can buy for 80 cents a dozen, and an
other of the more attractive thick
skinned variety that sells for twice
that amount. Squeeze the small orange.
and, then, with a clean. fresh lemon
squeezer. squeeze the other. Put the
Juice of the two oranges in two small
glass cups of equal size. If the sixty
cent orange gives twice the Juice
which 1t won't-then you are justified
in your use Of the more expensive
oranges.

New York Sun Claims to Have Evidence of a Plot Which Cost
 Large Sum.
S2O.OOO SPENT FOR RIOT
Woman Who Led the Mob to the City Hall Last Tuesday Received
 S2,OOO for Bit.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The Eve ming Sun accuses the TeUtOniC conspiratOrs in the United States with fostering the food riots in this city.
 The Sun says: Systematic at- tacks of excited women on the push cart peddlers of this city and Brook lyn. the big demonstration of 300 housewives at the city hall last Tuesday, when they demanded that the municipal authorities do some thing to bring about a reduction in the price of foodstuffs, were planned by representatives of the Central Powers. These demonstra- tiOns and riots were put into eXecu- ton by means of money disbursed through a New York bank, accord ing to a cirCumstantial report which reached the city officials last night"
 The Sun goes on to relate that the food riots cost the Central Pow CTS at least S2O,OOO and the cash was disbursed through an East Side dentist. The woman who led the Tuesday mob, says the Sun, which raided the office of Mayor Mitchell, received $2,oOO for her performance and another woman received large sum for upsetting push cart at the psychological moment starting the riot.

ALASKA MUST ACT AT ONCE.

Every commercial body, every Mayor all hlgh officials and all others who are interested should lose no time in asking the Senate committee on ml- tary affairs to restore the items appropratlng SOUL 900 for Alaska roads and trails and $lOOOOO tor the Gastineau channel bridge to the military approPrla- tons bil The appeal should be made directly to the committee and at once-today.
 It would be a crime at this stage of Alaskan pro- gress to lose year in working out of the plans tor a government road system in Alaska. The contn- ued development of the Territory IS at sake-and upon the development of the Territory will depend the success or failure of the government railroads program in the North
 Never before in the history of Alaska has there been cooperation and system in development to the same extent as there IS just now. The War and Interior Departments are both doing great work here. The work of the Interior Department depends for its success in large measure upon the roads that are being built under the direction of the War Depart ment The millions that have been expended under the War Department cannot serve the people to the best advantage unless more IS expended to complete 1t and to connect the various systems Tn such way as to make them more useful
 The failure of the roads and trails appropriation at this time would be disastrous to Alaska. It must not be permitted if united and earnest effort can pre- vent It..

Great Loss of Tonnage Puts Nation Against It Even for Her
 Military.
PEOPLE MUST GIVE AID
Non-eSsentiaI Necessities Will Be Placed Under Ban to Save the
 Tonnage.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-The British people were today for the first time informed of the great loss of ton mage to the nation and the grave condition now existing. This in- formation was given by none other than Premier Lloyd George. The Premier, in a speech this after noon in the House of Commons, said that the success of the Allied cause depends upon the ability of the country to solve the tonnage shortage. This is now etfecting the nation" said the Premier. "The situation calls for the gravest mea- sures."
 The Premier continued by claim ing that the sure way to victory was the hunting and destruction of the submarines now menacing the British Islands, from the deep.
 Enormous sacrifices" said the Premier, "are necessary from the British public. The government even proposes to dispense with the non-e8sential importations to save the tonnage"
 The Premier concluded with the statement that there is a short age of tonnage, not only for ordi- nary needs, but for military ne- cessities. Well over a million tons of British shipping have been as. signed to France as its share. The gravest measures are necessary, otherwise there will be a tremen- dous disaster. We must find ships to bear our iron ore at all costs"
 The Premier advocated the in- crease of home food production, cur tailment of nonvictual imports, speeding up of farm labor which was provided for by the Premier by guaranteeing a minimum wage of 25 shillings a week instead of the present IA to IS, and by the curtailment of imports.
 Lloyd George said he expected to reduce the demands on cargo space by several million tons on food stuffs of which 16,000,0O0 tons were imported last year, which will be cut a million tons by looping off certain luxuries.
 Paper users, who already have been considerably curtailed, must hencefOrth get only a half supply Certain savings also will be affect ed in the import of ore, which now amounts to 8,OOO,O0o tens annual ly, and in the lumber trade which at present is four million tons.

DELEGATE RESPONSIBLE
House Strikes Measure for Alaska Because Wick Says There
 No Benefits.
SEATTLE. Feb. g.

SEATTLE. Feb. p. - Word received here, that is regarded as absolutely re- liable, is that the item ap- propriating $5OO,O00 for roads and trails in Alaska was stricken from the miIi- tary appropriations bill on a point of order raised sole Iy at the suggestion of Del egate James Wickersham, who, it is stated by this authority, represented that money so appropriated ac- compliShed no good in Alaska.
 It is said that Delegate Wickersham has been more or less covertly opposing further appropriations for expenditure under the di- rection of the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners, and the charge is advanced that he is doing it for the pur- pose of injuring Col. W. P. Richardson, head of the board.

SENATE MAY RESTORE
 ITEM.

Washington, Feb. 23. - On a point of order raised on the floor of the House yesterday afternoon the item apprOpriating S500,0O0 for Alaska roads and trails was stricken from the military appropriations bill after it had been ap- proved by the committee of the House which reported the bill. An effort, which it is hoped will be success ful, is being made to have the item restored to the bill when it reaches the Senate.
 It is believed that a vote of the House of Representa- tives on the merits of the item would result in its adoption, and advocates of the measure are seeking to bring it to a vote.
