 ABOUT READY

 War.

PULLMAN, Wash, Jan. 23. - A new Hoover" cook book, especially adapted to the use of housewives of northeastern states, is being pre- pared under the direction of Miss Agnes Craig, director of home econo- mics at Washington State College.
 Because of different conditions in the northwest the cook book issued by the National Food Administration was found to be unadapted to use In this section, as it's recipes were bas- ed on the use of hard winter wheat.

The University of Washing ton worked on say beans and fish, assisted with the latter by Puget Sound College; Washington State College worked on skinned milk and honey cookery, yeast and quick breads: Bellingham Normal, poultry and game; Whitman college, sugar less desserts and preserves; Tacoma public schools, cheese and eggs; Sc attle public schools, legumes; Spo- kane high schools, vegetables and fruits; Ellensburg Normal, fat con seryation; Cheney Normal, corn and cereal buildings; Washington school nuts.

SOME MORE FIGURES ON PRESENT STATUS
 OF GERMANY ARMY

NEW YORK, Jan 1S.-G Stan ley Sedgwick in a letter to the New York Times says that on June 1 of this year the Germans had in the army not more than $500, 900 men. Of these about 1,250, ,000 were on the Russian front; 2,00O,- 900 in France, perhaps 150,000 in Turkey and the Balkans, and the remainder on the communications and at the depots. At the pres ent time all Germans under arms do not number 4,500,000. The losses in Flanders, on the Aisne, and in repeated futile attacks on Verdun have been about 100000. A year ago the Germans called up the class of 1918. The French have not yet called up the class of 1918 at all. Germany then called up the class of 1919; this is exhausted. and now she has called up the class of 1920, of whom the oldest are only IS, and the youngest not IT. In calling this class Germany is four years ahead of normal She has no reserves. France still has the class es of 1918, 1919 and 1920 un- touched, and she has about 2.000,- 900 men at the front

SPOKANE. Wash. Jan. 23.-Frank Russett. who will be 103 years of age in February, has little use for such effete appliances as street cars. They are too much trouble, he thinks, and walking is quicker.

NEW SYSTEM OF FIRE
 ALARM INSTALLED IN
 THE MINES OF BUTTE

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 23. Fire alarms in the Butte Mining Company properties here are to be spread through the sense of smell. rather than of hearing or sight. By the means of compressed air, an unusual odor is to be forced through the workings, and it is believed that the alarm by this means will be spread quickly.
 Because it will not depend upon unbroken circuits, as the present sys- tenn of electric lights does. and will be distinctly noticeable everywhere in the mine. it is believed that the

FAINT OF GERMANY
 NOT IN THE BLOOD

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 21.- Americans of German birth will not permit the blood in their veins and the call of race to go beyond the call of honor in this war, but will show their allegiance to the United States and wear as badge of honor the abuse and spite of the few in this country who love Ger many better than they love Amer ica Otto H. Kahn, New York bank CT, declared in an address here.
 "It is not enough for us Ameri cans of German birth merely to do our duty and be loyal to the United States, said MT. Kahn. We must speak out Farm .nlcd men will rnderstand that we arc proud to let it be known that the blood in our veins cannot drown the conscience in our breasts; that the taint of Germany is not in the blood, but in the system of rulership.
 "I was born in Germany;-I served in the German army. l was close ly connected with German business interests until the outbreak of this war I konw Germany and l know the real causes of this war. Thirty years ago almost to a day Germany began laying her plans for world conquest.
 Americans of German blood know that ii was not the old Ger many-of which we are proud that brought about war, but the German system"

SUFFERIN MIKE TALKS
Gives an Account of the SaddeSt Night Ever Held North of 53
 in Alaska.
(Da wson News. ]


 EAGLE CITY, alaska, Dec. 31.- The last sad rites to the passing out of old King Booze were pulled off here Friday night, December 28, in the form of a Booze Smoker. The affair will be remembered long af- ter King Booze shall have crossed the boundary. He is scheduled to go at midnight tonight.
 The obsequies began very mildly at D. m. with cards. At 10 D. m. the committee announced the grand spread. The eats were very fine, but the wine list was the most i'm portant, including everything from Da2o Rcd to Mumm's all in one grand mixture and labeled Punch a la Dubois" Budweiser also held a very prominent place thoughout the feast, during which much wis dom was dispensed by the various mourners present, relating princi pally to history and deeds of the departing king.
 About the time for cigars, how ever, terrible commotion was heard from the front of the hall and many, in their sad and mistaken fancy, believed that Santa Claus had come back, or that the kings spirit was demolishing the front door, but it proved to be a party of the ladies of the city in disguise who had determined to find out first hand just what a bunch of mere men would act like under the trying circumstances. The welcome extended to the ladies was general and spontaneous. Satisfying them selves as to their welcome and after viewing the various delicacies, they departed leaving the bereaved gen. lemen to work out their own saliva tion.
 From this time on things moved very rapidly. The Eagle City male chorus were the chief entertainers. Droduceing harmony and song of all kinds--old time, war time, rag time and popular songs, songs never heard before and songs that will never be heard again. The voices ranged up to 34 degrees above zero
 About 3 a. m. the ceremony was performed over the departing king. who, in the shape of a bottle of um, neatly dressed, was laid quiet ly in a coffin of local manufacture. After an appropriate ceremony, the remains quietly were carried around the hall to the strains of "It Will Be Long Time, Believe Me" and finally placed at rest alongside of a barrel of expired Bud.
 After this touching ceremony the bereaved friends again made desper- ate attempt to liven up the situa- tion, but all to no avail, and the early hours of the dawn witnessed the saddest sight ever beheld north of 53, when, linked in pairs and four, the orphans walked slowly. with bowed heads and trembling knees, toward their woOdless, booze less domiciles, or toward the last sad remnant of the last booZerinc parlor in this sad section of g )ooZeless land.
 Sad as it was, it could have been worse, as between this memorable morning and the final passing of the king remained three whole days to seek consolation. Another con soling thought was, "lt's long way to Dawson, but we can go there" So, Mr. Editor, wishing you T sober new year, l remain,
