 URGED TO WORK
Associated presS)

TOKYO, July 5.-Marquis Okuma has called attention to what he terms the comparative inactivity of the Japanese Red Cross in the pres ent war He says it could do great deal more by offering it's ser vices in the belligerent countries.
 The Japanese Red Cross is sup posed to be the wealthiest and strongest organization of it's kind in the world. It's membership roll Is almost 2,0O0 900. In 1913 it possessed twelve hospitals and medical corps of 3,7S5 physicians, pharmacists and nurses. It's capital fund amounted to S12,OO0. GOO and it's real property was valued at much more. The re ceipts of the society are far in eX- cess of the expenditure In the early period of the war, relief corps were dispatched to England, France and Russia but they have since re turned to Japan. The society has done considerable work in the sup plying of bandages and other medl- cal necessities to the entente powers.

Closing what will hereafter be an annual league series of games be tween the Fairbanks and Nenana baseball aggregations. the third game seen here during the Fourth of July celebration was played yesterday af ternoon The Fairbanks team won the game and thereby the series each team having won a game before. The resultant score was fifteen to five
 As the score would indicate. the game was not nearly as good as were the two played previously. There were more errors on the part Of the players of both teams, which accounts for the fact that many hits were recorded by the scorekeepers which should have been putouts. In few instances they resulted in the scoring Ol tllt Hlth "Ho p"ll'u' Du' in the main not more than the usual percentage of the men making the hits succeeded in getting home.
 The performance of Mattson, the Fairbanks pitcher, is considered to have been nothing short of phenome- nal. For, with the exception of three entire innings of the second game and short portion of the fourth, he pitched all three of the games for Fairbanks against Nenana. He pitch. ed the entire game through yester- day and, although the game was won by Fairbanks anyhow, would have done much better except for few errors when the men hitting the ball were allowed to get on base
 Summerlein started the game yes terday for Nenana with Van HoWen behind the bat Before the first inning was over, however, he real ized that he was up against it, as the local boys started to find him the first thing. The result was that there was a general shakeup and Hansen was taken off third and put in the box. He did little or no bet ter than Summerlein, however, as the boys hit him just as badly. He also showed an inclination to walk the batters, and it was therefore thought best to replace him with Taylor during the latter half of the

MOBILIZE YOUR STEAK
BY Biddy Bye

Steak is the standard American
meat, no matter to what heights its
price may rise. 1t is the one dish for
which the average man refuses to
tolerate a substitute, but he can
sometimes be persuaded into accept
ing a steak cooked by some method
which is more economical than broil-
ing. Here are some recipes which
have been tested and found good.
Smothered Steak
Buy a thick piece of round steak,
and cut gashes in both sides. Rub
in as much flour as possible and
brown in hot bacon fat. Season with

salt and pepper, put into a casserole,
add three seeded peppers or a little
stewed tomatoes and simmer in the
oven or on top Of the stove for an
hour and a half. Thicker the gravy
and garnish the dish with triangles
of toast before serving.
Steak With DumpIings
Buy round steak, pour boiling hot
water over it and drain quickly, cut
in small pieces, roll in -four, season
with salt and pepper, fry in hot fat,
cover with hot water and stew until
tender. Keep covered and add water
as required. Just before serving
make a batter Of l cup of flour,
heaping teaspoon baking powder, Il
teaspoon salt and water enough to
make a dough which will drop from
the spoon. Use a teaspoon and put
1 small dumping on top Of each
piece of steak. Cover closely seven
minutes. Take up, leaving the dump
Ings on the meat, thicken the gravy
and serve at once.
Steak With Stuffing
Grind the steak through the food
chopper, season with salt, pepper,
onion juice and bind with 1 egg.
Make a stUffing as for poultry, using
dry bread or cracker crumbs well
seasoned and mOistened with a little
milk and 1 egg. Grease gem pans or
muffin rings and line with the
chopped steak, add a layer of the
stufing, then another of the steak.
Bake Is minutes and serve garnished
with parsley.
English Pudding
Buy a piece of steak l inch thick
and cut it into cubes. For 2 pounds
of meat allow 1 pound of -four,
mixed with a pound of suet. To the
flour and suet add p teaspoon of
salt and 1 cup of cold water. Break
off a portion of the dough for the pie

Old Looks :?
(BY DIR. L. H. SMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid In the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance Of gray hair or bald.
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This wiz not make
you fat, as 1t is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package Of Anuric,
double strength, which Is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anuric.
