FATS

About a third Of the food value" in
the daily diet comes from the fats
eaten-meaning by food value" being
able to supply the energy for muscu-
lar and other kinds OF work and to
keep the body warm. The fats are
our most concentrated form Of food.
An ounce of fat will give to the body
al out 2A times as much heat and en-
ergy as an ounce of dry starch, sugar
or protein.
Butter and lard furnish the greater
proportion of the fats purchased as
such, though of course about a third
of the meat purchased is really fat
sometimes more, and olive oil and
cream porvide a greater or less
amount.
In these days of high prices with
the best creamery butter retailing in
the city at about 42c a pound and
lard at Csc a pound, the expense for
butter especially is quite a large item.
Probably you use between q pound
and / pound per person, per week, in
your family. If you could save 10c

SOME ECONOMY BREADS

That the country, and the north
west especially, may save wheat anc
use agreeable substitutes in the

mission has issued some tested bread
recipes which will save in use 25 tc
80 per cent OF the amount of -four
used. Here are some OF them:
Here are the proportions for one

ate oven for at least an hour.
Next to corn in popularity have
come oats. There is a new oatmeal

ductor of summer schools under the
Minnesota state board of education.
With this experience and record of
work done in other places it is evil

well qualified to carry on the work
in a thorough and competent manner.
The Register will be loyal to the pub

will give Mr.. Hargis all the support
it can in making the Bookings

been. Improvement is the only way
to promote success and we know that
the patrons of the schools and citi-
zens of the town will join us in max
ing success possible.

MAYOR VETOES BY LETTER PURCHASE
 OF MORE PROPERTY

Mayor Valentine last night gave yritten notice to the council of he fact that he had vetoed the ac- ion of the council in voting to buy he waterfront property of George ;. James and A. H. Mann, known the Shattuck property, for the urpose of installing fish floats. he city council passed a resolution the effect that his veto be con- idered null and stand for naught nd that the property be pur- hased.
 Mayor Valentine did not say so I as many words, but intimated cry strongly that the question 'ould be taken into court before e would allow the purchase to be ,ade unless the Merchants Pro- ective Association stand heavy
 art of the cost.
 In serving his notice of veto layor Valentine stated that the ouncil had voted to spend $25,- % for property which would be no value unless approximately 50,000 more was spent for inn
 rOyement and which would only enefit two or three of these mer-
 lants who want to supply the fish men and which will work a hard lip on the small home owner of he city through increased taxa
 on." He also stated that no act Congress gave the council power co spend money which they do not have in the treasury and that if they attempted to bind the city and future councils for the deferred payments you will find that this body does not have the least say in the matter"
 Councilman King then introduced a written resolution to the effect that the Mayors veto be held at and that the action of the council in purchasing the property be ratified. It was passed unani- mously, but not before Mayor Val entine stated to MT. King that he was ill and unable to throw him through window MT. King stat ed that he was sorry that he was in such physical shape as to be un- able to start to throw him through a window.

TAX LEVY FOR THE
 COMING YEAR SET
 AT SIXTEEN MILLS

The city council last night vote, that the tax rate for the city for the coming year shall be 16 mills on the dollar of assessed valuation, which will return $59,692.2S on an assessed valuation of $3,730,768. Mayor Valentine contended that the tax rate should be lower and that the Council had not considered the budget of expenses fully and were figuring on expenditures which would be unnecessary and could be cut.
 The members of the council pre- sented budget which they had pre- pared during the meeting of the Equalization board which allowed the necessary expenses of the city and which cut the older budget by about 20 per cent. This called for an expenditure, less the amounts collected from various sources of s59,44228.
 At the opening of the meeting a petition was presented by John Perelle which called the attention of the council to the fact that the police department might be cut down and that they had voted tc buy waterfront property which would be for the benefit of few merchants, but not of the town generally and asked that they fix tax levy of 10 mills.
 
 Protests on Taxes
 A resolution was adopted where by the city clerk was authorized to advertise the fact that taxes this year will become delinquent on October 10th, instead of on the last Friday in September as here tofore. A proposed ordinance amending the tax ordinance now in force and changing the date of delinquency was read for the first time and passed to a second read- ing. This action was taken to all low many to get their salary checks on the first of October before their taxes became delinquent.
 Communications from the Alaska Supply Company. L. A. Slane and Mrs. J. H. Miller protesting against their tax assessments were read and referred to the tax committee Charles Cragg apeared in person and stated that the assessment lev fed against the Peerless Bar amount
