GRAND TRUNK IS
 WITHDRAWING BOATS
 FSOM ALASKA RUN

The Grand Trunk liners will tenn porarily abandon the Alaska run af- ter the present month. The Prince George and the Prince Rupert will each make one more trip to Juneau, Skagway and other Alaska ports, and then they will be withdrawn from the Alaska run until condi- tions warrant their returning.
 This is the announcement that was made today in Juneau by H. R. Shepard. the Juneau agent of the Grand Trunk.
 The action is the direct result of the communicating by the Canadian government of the Prince Albert and the Prince John. and the con sequent demand for the Prince Ru- pert and the Prince George on the route between Anyox and Prince Ru- pert on the north and Seattle on he south.
 "The Grand Trunk Pacific expects and will come back on the Alaska route as soon as conditions change and the bushes warrants it," said Mir. Shepard today.
 The Juneau offices of the com pany will be maintained, and MT. Shepard will continue to act as agent for it.

Columbia.


The sugar situation Is serious. This
Is exclaimed by the fod administra-
tion as due to the fact that Cuban de-
liveries have been shorter than were
expected and to submarine losses. The
shortage, of sugar is bringing the war
nearer home to the people Of South
Carolina. 1t presents q situation
my in sugar. There is not a spoon
full to waste.
At the same time, the need for can
ming and preserving fruits and vege-
tables for next winters use Is just as
great this year as 1t was last, says the
food administration. The railroads,
already over-burdened by the necessi-
next winters food that could have been
grown and preserved at home. Home
preserved products can more often
than Is now the case take h place of
certain foods that are shipped from
other sections. Housekeepers should
not at this time, however, seek to fur
nish canned fruits and vegetables to
the government, but they can take
care Of the local supply during the
present summer, thus relieving the
demand Upon the commercial stock.
AS far as it is practical, h~ousekeep-
ers are urged by the food administra-
ton to preserve fruits and vegetables
this summer in other ways than rich
preserves and %jellies. A light syrup
allows the flavor Of the fruit to pre-
dominate and gives a sauce that is
both wholesome and paltable. Honey
is excellent sweetening for certain
fruits.
For canning and preserving fruits
and vegetables, housekeepers may, up
on signing certificates in the hands Of
the dealers, obtain an amount Of sugar

vation-up to twenty-five pounds per
month, to be used for this purpose
