HINTON HENRY
 NOV HOMELESS

Shortly after 8 o'clock last night the residents of the town were lv- ened up by the sounding of the fire siren. The blasts denoted that the blaze was in the vicinity of Fifth and Barnette. The department, on arriving at the scene of the conAa- grafton, found the home of c. Hinton Henry in flames.
 Dense volumes of smoke rolled skyward, and those residents who were not at the scene surmised that Fairbanks was due for another big fire. Prompt action by the chemical eXtinguished the blaze, which had gained some headway. The interior was badly scorched with all its con- tents. No insurance. It is not known whether the owner will rebuild or not.

DEAL IS MADE
 IN SAW MILLS

By deal put through yesterday the interests of the local lumber companies were merged. Roy Ruther- ford, owner of the Independent Lum- Der company. purchased all the lum- Der owned by the Tanana Mill com pany and entered into an agreement whereby the latter will not manu- facture lumber during the present year and until July 1, 1919.
 F. c. Moves, owner of the Tanana Mill company. is also receiver of the Washington-Alaska bank. and as his duties in the banks connection keep him absent from Fairbanks a major portion of the time, he is un- able to devote himself to his milling interests. The Panama Mill property is still owned by MT. Moves.

NO TRAINS OUT
 UNTIL MONDAY

Announcement is made that there will be no train leave Fairbanks for the creeks until Monday, and it is possible that this postponement will be carried to a later date.
 Owing to the run of ice and the high water, it was deemed best by the management of the T. V. R. R. to pull the trains of the run, as there is a possible chance of the ice taking out the bridge over the slough along the right of way. The rails were taken off the bridge over Deadman's slough in anticipation of it going out with the ice, and they will not be relaid until all possi- bility of it going has passed. Should it be necessary to delay the depart ture of the trains until late date, the public will be notified.

Timely Hints for the Housewife

Instead of meat, use cheese, milk, eggs, beans, peas, cereals, nuts. These make appetizing dishes to take the place of meat. Why not use them oftener? There are plenty of good ways of cooking them.
 They give you a bodybuilding ma terial, the protein, and they give lot of it, says United States food !eatlet.
 The child to grow must have food that furnishes this kind of material. You need it too. Even if you are grown up, you must have it to renew parts of your body used up by work and exercise.
 Don't think you have to eat meat to get this protein. These other foods have it, too. Take cottage cheese, for example. It is richer in this material than meat. You can eat third of cup of it with pleasure, and this third of cup will give you as much of the protein as quarter of a pound of sirloin steak-a good, generous serving. Or if you like baked beans, eat cupful to give you the same amount of pro tein
 Peas, beans, peanuts, cereals. These are cheaper than meats and good They should be used, but eat some milk or cheese besides.
 KIDNEY BEAN STEW
 One and one-half cups dried kidney or other beans, 2 cups canned to- matoes, 12 cup rice, tablespoons flour, l onion, 1 tablespoon salt. Wash the beans, put in covered kettle, and soak over night in two quarts of cold water. Cook the beans slowly in the water in which they soaked If necessary, add more Wa ter to cover and continue the cook ing until they are nearly tender, usu ally about two hours. Wash the rice, cut up the onion and add with the tomatoes to the beans. Cook until rice is tender-about 30 min utes. Mix the flour with a little cold water and stir in carefully to thicken. A small piece of salt pork cut up, in cubes and added to the beans at the beginning of the cook ing gives a pleasant flavor to the i dish.
 This stew will make a whole meal in itself, with bread and butter and fruit for dessert, to serve five or six people.
 PEA SoUFFtE
 Four tablespoons flour, table spoons fat, cup skim milk, l cup mashed cooked peas (any kind), , eggs. 1 teaspoon salt, A teaspoon pepper, few drops of onion juice.
 Make a white sauce from flour fat and milk. as in preceding recipe Mash the cooked peas to pulp Beat white and yolks of eggs sepa' rately. Mix vegetable pulp, season ings, sauce and well beaten yolks Fold in stiffly beaten whites, put in greased baking dish and bake in slow oven until firm Lima beans, split

 Cheese, milk, eggs, meat. These give bodybuilding material in lit tie better form than the plant foods do
 DREAMED PEANUTS AND RICE
 One cup rice (uncookedj, cups chopped peanuts, F teaspoon pap. rika, ? teaspoons salt.
 White Sauce
 3 tablespoons four tablespoons fat, cups milk (whole or skim).
 Boil rice Make white sauce by mixing flour in melted fat and mixing mixing flour in melted fat and mixing thickens. Mix rice, peanuts and sea soning with sauce, place in greased baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, CALCUTTA RICE
 Two cups rice. cups tomatoes. t2 pound cheese, 1 tablespoon salt, peppers and celery or onions may be added if desired.
 Boil rice. Mix it with tomatoes, grated cheese and seasoninss, and pour into baking dish. Bake half an hour. If peppers or celery are used, cut up and boil with the rice. All of these four dishes except the pea sOuffle have as much build ing material, protein, as d pound and quarter of solid meat. The pea souffle furnishes only about half as much protein, but is very good in stead of meat at lighter meal.
 Cheese is a fine meat saver There is great deal of food in a little piece of it. Don't eat it at the end of meal when you have already had enough You would not eat a piece of meat then. An inch cube of American cheese contains third more protein than the same sized piece of lean meat. Cheese is ex- cellent food if eaten at the right time.
 Cottage cheese is delicious and easy dish You can buy it from al most any milkman or you can make it yourself Add salt and pepper before eating, and if you prefer it more moist, stir in little milk. It is good, too, served with apple butter or bit of jelly. While this is more of a dessert, it can still lessen the amount of meat you eat.
 To make cottage cheese warm sour milk, whole or skinned, on the back of the stove or put a bowl of it in pan of hot, not boiling, water for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally, When the curd and whey have sepa' rated, pour off the whey through sieve Work the .curd with spoon and let it drain. When fairly dry work again until smooth. The whey is good to use in making bread.
 Nuts are concentrated foods. too. Twenty single peanuts are about the same as the inch cube of cheese. Remember that nuts are good food. Chew them thoroughly or grind them up for cooked dish and eat them as an important part of your meal.

This also refers to winter mail ser vice.
 We request that you take these two matters up with the post office department in an effort to get the relief asked. We notice that there has been much complaint in various quarters throughout the United States as to decreased efficiency of the post al service, and that the Merchants Association of New York, with of fees at 233 Broadway, New York. are at the present time working in the interest of greater efficiency in the movement of first-class mails. and this organization may be in a position to help us in Alaska. We feel that we are more entitled to an increase in service rather than a cutting down. the cry for years in the Interior of flask having been for more mail.
 We shall greatly appreciate any thing you can do for us in this matter.
