 The turning of these pages brought a turning bach in the pages of mem ory--a turning to years gone by when he was a prospector In the Klondike, young man full of health and omhi- ton. who was seeking gold from the pockets Of nature.
 In this retrospecuon he saw an Alas kan dance ball. He was standing at the bar A girl beautiful and pathetic in her innocence. sat 0n q bench with bowed head. while the other women caroused. Near her sat Zulph, beside a woman, and that woman was Jane Warren, owner of the dance hall. She was the same Jane Warren who served as honsekeeper for old Thomas Clarke Her heart, in those Alaskan wilds, be ionged to Zuph. She gave him all and asked nothing in return. save love which was bestowed by Zulph as q hypocrite bestows charity on beg gar.
 Two miners entered the place and baited to gaze in undisguised admirs ton at the frightened dove of the dance hall. The younger of them, who was laden with gold, offered to bet the other that he could win her affections His companion accepted the wager and then the younger man advanced with confidence and seized the girl.
 Realizing his purpose, she struggled desperately, but he and his companion only gufawed over her frantic effort, to get free. Then the man who after ward became known as The Greai Master stepped forward. He parted

 Attention: Miss Crippen.
 Gentlemen:-
 We haze ad in service since last September two Troy trailers. At the time we purchased them. there was q question in our mind as to whether they would be worth the investment, but we are now willing to go on record as stating that they have fully met our expectations as we have been able to use them to our advantage in various ways which we could not forsee until we had actually put them in service. The Trailers themselves have stood up very nicely and in fact are as good to- day as the day they were put in serv- ice. It looks now very much as if we would be in need of a couple more very soon. We would not hesitate in recom- mending the Trailer to anyone whose more han one truck Yours vely truly H. H. FRANKLIN MFG. CO. By (Sgd) c. D. HOLMES. i CDH.LL Traffic Manager.

ANCIENT PERIL
 IF WOOD SHIPS
 |SN0W REVIVED

The salt waters of the earth harbor countless millions of destructive marine creature, whose presence means certain ruin to wooden ships unless precautions are taken to protect them Now that our government has decided to break the German blockade by the construction of large numbers of wooden boats, these marine forms ot life, little known except To few scientists and to old shippers, because the modern steel vessels relegated them to the background, again become an important factor in our commercial and national life says the Scientific American.
 Solid blanks six inches thick will be riddled with holes bored by these ma rine creatures in less than two months. In fact, sound pitch pine piling driven in certain harbors on the Texas coast has been totally destroyed in twenty niEe days.
 These facts have a very important bearing upon the wooden ships now under construction, especially those being built in southern ports and in tended to ply in southern waters. Even though these boats may not be intend- ed to give a long service, the service expected may be much shorter than anticipated unless full measures are taken properly to protect the wooden bottoms from attack. If this is not done, the destruction of these boats is just as certain as though hit with a torpedo.
 Marine borers have been the subject of much study on the part of the gov ernment and others and various meth ods of combating them have been de- vised. Contrary to common belief, impregnations with dead oil of coal tar or creosoting are by no means proof against attack Creosoting ship timbers is very apt to damage certain classes of cargo on account of the 1 fumes which arise from the treated wood. This would be particularly true 1 in regard to food stuffs, now so badly needed by our allies.
 Frequent painting with copper paints | proves effective, provided the bottoms | of the boats are thoroughly and ire quently painted. While copper paint is an effective preNntive against at tack, there is still much room for an improvement in the production of a marine paint, which will not only prove resistant to the attacks of the marine borers and to sea water, but which will withstand mechanical abra : sion
 Perhaps the most effective means of protecting wooden ships from attack is to sheath their bottoms with copper AS long as this copper sheathing re- mains intact, an absolutely protective covering will be had, but if the small : est hole should occur in this sheath ing, the marine borers will immediate. ly reach the wooden hull.
 Another effective means of arresting attack is to run the ships into fresh or brackish water and keep them ir this water for two or more days. This will kill all of the worms that may be In the timber. Unfortunately, this sim pie means of protection is not avail | able except in a comparatively few harbors along our coast.

Is measure of the task which Quar- termaster General Sharpe's office has in providing for Americas new ar mics.
 Nearly 200, ,000 tons of fresh beef is one item, and besides that there is canned corn and canned roast beef. totaling nearly 8,000,000 pounds more. without including the canned corned beef hash. also among the items
 All told. 343 different items of sup plies appear in the quartermaster gen. erals list of rations for issue and sale of clothing and of equipage. The figures given here are on the basis of supplying soldiers located in the United States. so give no help in com putting additional needs of this coun- try resulting from military participa- ton in the war.
 egula rations of Uncle Sans sol diers call for a list of forty mine items. In ti are over 29,600,000 pounds of coffee, four kinds of tea, and over 25,000 tons of granulated sugar; over S66000 gallons of cucumber pickles: over 2.StJ,OO0 cans of black pepper and cinnamon. cloves. ginger and nutmeg, totaling 372,0 cans; over 4S0, TOO 900 pounds of onions; over 300 million pounds of flour, besides hard bread
  lemon and vanilla flavoring extracts; over S,200,000 pounds of lard, and over 100000 pounds O fbutter; canned and dried fish, canned vegetables, evapor- atde apples and peaches, etc.
 The variety of fare possible in regu- lar ratiOns is increased by a list of items for sale to soldiers at cost. The sale list totals 165 items largely food stuffs, but including also shaving mugs, pencils, pens, shoe polish, letter paper (22,320 quires). 4S,S60 pipes, 22,320 razors, toilet articles (among which are 14S, 800 cans of talcum pow der and 3,720 bottles of toilet water) II, ,160 spools of thread, etc.

allowed to spoil on the vines or rot on the ground. A mornings work would can and preserve such surplusage for use when fruits and vegetables are scarce and high in price
 Much food is ruined by being stored where flies or other insects, or rats and mice can get at it. Much cereal food is ruined because it is not protected against weevils or other insects.
 (3) Food spoiled by careless cooking Many housewives who complain that children and adults will not eat break fast cereals fail to realize that the cereals they serve are undercooked, scorched, or improperly seasoned, ana thus made unpalatable. Most of the cheaper foods require careful season. ing and preparation to be fully appe- tizing. In many households, the spe- cialsts believe, proper attention to the cooking of these cheap and desirable foods will increase greatly their con-

sumption and thus reduce consider ably the use of more expensive foods eaten instead of cereals.
 Vegetables properly prepared tempt the appetite. When they are served in soggy form or in watery or poorly favored dishes much of them will be left onthe table. The nutritive value and flavor of meat or fish can be less ened by overcooking or improper cook ing If fats are allowedto burn even a little, they develop to refuse gravies and sauces made with them or foods fried in them; burned meat is also dis agreeable as are burned vegetables
 (4) Waste in Preparation.--Much useful food gets into the garbage pail because the housewife in preparing po- tatoes or other vegetables and fruit such as apples, cuts off with the skin a considerable percentage of edible ma terial. Careless pairing of potatoes may consign as much as 20 per cent of the edible portion, including outer layers containing valuable mineral substances, to the garbage pail Many persons are unaware that the green and tender tops of many vegetables which contain valuable mineral and other food substances, are excellent oooheo as SfeeIlS or even as additions to salads.
 t5) Overgenerous serving of food Many families take pride in serving lavish and overbountiful meals. Such meals lead inevitably to waste of food on the tableand to overeating, which often impairs health and efficiency The same standard, Eat enough food and no more," rigidly followed, would reduce greatly food bills in many homes and at the same time, tend to improve the physical condition of all members of the household.
 Eat for Efficiency
 Housewives interested in economy who wish to be certain that their fam lilies are getting proper food and not too much should ask the United States department of agriculture to send Farmers Bulletin sos, How to Select Foods-What the Body Needs" !" This bulletin classifies foods into sim pie household groups and shows the housewife how to plan meals that will provide for the growth and repair of the body and supply the energy the various members of the household need for their special tasks
