FAIRBANKS IS
 OUT OF DEBT:
 CASH ON HAND

The business administration of fairbanks is feeling rather jubilant, and with good cause-Fairbanks is put of debt. Not only is it out of dcbt, but there is a good and sub
 tantial balance on hand in the bank
 mounting to about s4.000. All out
 landing warrants on the general, salary and labor fund have bee cancelled.
 Only one warrant Of the prest mt administration remains unpaid. and that is for the amount of $6. On the other administrations there are outstanding warrants that have never been presented for payment. These obligations were contracted in 1914 and amount to something like $46. Total payments amounting to $50, as shown above. have yet to be paid and the city will be entirely put of debt.
 The city treasurer wishes all that have warrants in their possession, no matter on what fund. to present them as soon as possible for pay. ment.

Timely Hints for the Housewife

A Fairbanks housewife was heard to remark recently. when the sub. ject of wheatless meals was under discussion: T just don't know what to have for breakfast; we can't have toast. the children get tired of oat- meal after they have had it two or three times. and they won't eat corn meal" Another Fairbanks house. wife who has learned by experience how to have variety of cereals for breakfast which are palatable. nour- ishing and practically wheatless. sends the following. in the hope that they may prove helpful.
 HoMiNY
 Put cupful of hominy in an alumi- mum sauce pan at lunch time, and cover with quart of cold water. Let stand until dinner time. and put on to cook. adding more cold water if necessary. Salt should also be added. Cover and cook a long time, and at bedtime stand the sauce pan on the heater. being sure there Is sufficient water so that 1t will not boil dry. It cannot be cooked too much. A double boiler is not neces- sary.
 ROLLED OATS
 Stir into boiling water that has been salted, sufficient rolled oats to make the quantity required. Let it boil, stirring constantly. until 1t is thickenod. If you are busy about the stove. set the pan back where it will boil slowly, and stir every few minutes. After ten or fifteen minutes. the pan may be set into

 CORN MEAL

 RICE
 After washing the rice very care fully. drop 1t slowly into boiling salted water. shaking the saucepan to prevent sticking. Cover and let boil, but do not stir. After the rice has absorbed the water. about twen- ty minutes. add cup of rich milk. and put in double boiler to cook all night as before.

 Put equal parts of farina and corn meal into the sitter. Have boiling salted water ready, and sift the cereal in. stirring it carefully, and proceed as with the oatmeal.
 Here you have five cereals which come under the head of wheat less" and they are all delicious and nourishing. If you care to use Corn Flakes and Puffed Rice on two morn ings, you have seven kinds of cere-

T0L0VANA WILL
 BE LIVELY ONE
 COMING SEASON

Among the visitors in Fairbanks Is Deputy Marshal Frank Miller, who arrived on last nights train on an official trip. Questioned as to the probable outlook as regards the Tolo- vana country for the coming season, he stated that to all appearances the camp will have successful season. Conditions are beginning to pick up and at present there are nine outfits in that camp which arc employing men. Besides these there are many who are doing prospecting work
 On Lucky gulch the plant of the Barthel boys has been moved into place for operation Likewise that of Sam Lowery, who Is located on the same creek. Pay has been struck on Amy creek, but the To- cators will make further search to find the extent of the paystreak
 On what is known as the Love lease, on Livengood creek. the pay streak has been proved, and the ground is making fine showing Peterson & Co.,, who are operating on this ground, will have three plants in operation when the season opens
 Lynn & Co.,, also on Livengood, have picked up the pay. which looks very good. and they are following up the streak to see the extent of 1t.
 Frank Fontas & Go. and Craig X Co. will employ large crews the coming season. Taking 1t all around. the Tolovana will make for sue cessful year.

SOLDIERS GLAD
 TO GET SOCKS

A young soldier writes from Camp Lewis: Do you know, nothing in the world Is such comfort to us as those knitted things, especially the socks. Why. when fellow gets present of a pair of these real wool, hand.knit socks there Is as much ex- citement as over cutting a wedding cake. Everybody gathers round and admires and envies. You see. we have to wear our shoes till they are pretty far gone. and for tramp ing around in this mud all day in thin shoes there's nothing like these hand.knit socks"

THE TRUTH ABOUT GERMANY

 Everything is conservation, con. servation. In Leipzig the biggest concert hall was closed because of no fuel to heat 1t. In Berlin many of the cafes closed because of lack of light enough to redeem them from darkness.
 In the theatres all the plays are ot war and incidents connected with war. remember in one theatre one night, the play was war story and, during It's action, a cannon was fired. A soldier in the audience sprang to his feet as the cannon went off and screamed at the top of his voice, then promptly went into as pretty a fit of mysteries as ever l saw a woman 90 into. The sounds of the cannon simply broke his nerves. The con. dition of the soldiers coming back from the trenches is pitifui because of the nerve shocks they have en- dured. They will scream like women if they are startled.
 The graft among the shopkeepers is one thing that is hurting Germany. With all the German efficiency, it seems that this cannot be overcome. One incident I remember when I was very glad that this was so.
 Buying Can of Corn.
 In some stores are shelves of can. ned goods. but no person can buy them. ~

 gladly paid 20 cents each for to- matoes more than once.
 Last year We heard, and it was laid to be true, that 10000 tons of herring routed in port in Germany because the fishers would not sell at the price the government ordered
 Food Goes to Waste.
 The government said the herring should be sold at 10 pfennigs, about 2 1-3 cents each. The fishers wanted 25 pfennigs, 3-4 cents. The government would not permit them to sell at that price. They would not sell at the lesser price, and the fish routed. The people would have been glad to pay twice, three times as much if permitted-but the government said no.
 There are so many things I do not understand about the governmental rules over there. In ordinary Ian guage they are just plain dumb" They are silly and senseless.
 Farmers, too, will not bring their produce into town, because the gov ernment will not let them charge ex- orbitant prices. Good vegetables rot on the ground. These things seem impossible to believe, but they are true.

The United States Food Admin. istration at Christmas time issued a circular entitled Christmas Sw 1cts," and addressed to the Boys and Girls" Although the Christ mas holidays are over, candy is still made in many homes and boxes given as birthday gifts. etc. so 1t may not be amiss to publish the circular in full-recipes and all which is as follows:

 But this year everything is diff. ferent. We are at war. We shall celebrate Christmas. but in diff. ferent way. We shall want sweets for Christmas, but they must be a different kind of sweets. We must save our sugar to send abroad to the people who have only what we give them.

1 WILL DETECT
 FIRE BY SMELL

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 17.-Fire alarms in the Butte Mining com pany's properties here are to be spread through the sense of smell. rather than that of hearing or sight By the means of compressed air an unusual odor is to be forced through the workings, and 1t is believed that the alarm may thus be spread quickly.
 Because it will not depend upon unbroken currents. as the present system of electric lights does, and will be distinctly noticeable every where in the mine, 1t is believed that the proposed system will be most efflcacious.

When our old friend Opportunity

the young actor didn't hesitate. He
-@miled pleasantly, walked briskly over
to the old gentleman and shook him
heartily by the hand. The result was
that the young actor appeared last

When those in the first night audi

who is 20 be heard this season in a
new musical production, ''Ffddlers
Three" John Cort's new piece. Mr..
Conkey was thorough musician and
singer before entering the light opera
field. He has studied in Italy with the
best teachers and has also won recog-
milton on the concert stage. He has
also appeared in vaudeville, and there
he claims the public likes good music
much better than ragtime and jazz.
Like most of the successful Amerf-
can singers, Conkey sang In a church
choir. For three years he was the
leading soloist in the Baptist Church
in Cleveland. This church was known
as the Rockefeller church. From the
choir he Immediately went into grand
opera, and made an excellent success
with the Joseph Sheehan company.
Upon the advice OF a number OF well
known critics he went to Italy, where
he studied for nearly two years. Upon
his return he was offered the leading
singing role in THE Spring Maid"
Since that time he has appeared in
several musical shows, but claims that
