 FIRST MONTH OF HARDNESS

E DOUGLAS, J>n. 31.-Today com pletes the first month of the reign of prohibition in Alaska, and, so far as Douglas is concerned, the law has been much more rigidly adhered to than was expected it would be even by the officials themselves. Only four persons have been arrested here for drinking this month, one white man and three Indians, and the white man was taken in on the second of the month with a lop-over jag from the preceding month. The Indians were supplied with squirrel brand by Mexican who is now serving a long jail sentence for his offense The people just appear to have na- turally accepted the condition pro- vided for them and have dropped into the new groove without complaint or the show of any rebellious spirit whatsoever.

Rev E. s. Bollinger was the minister in charge. A cable was sent to the deceased's aged father in Scotland the day following the sons death, but no reply has as yet been received. The body was buried in sealed metallic casket, and should his parents so desire, it can be re moved at any time later.

 miniStratOr.
SUBSTITUTES N A M E D
The Public Is Especially Asked to Eat More Corn and Help
 the Allies.

Potatoes, as such, are not author ized by the United States Food Ad- ministration as a substitute for wheat flour. Through the inadvertance in a telegram from Washington the word potatoes" appeared among the list of authorized substitutes and thence appeared among the list pub lished. What is meant is potato flour" either sweet or those named after the land whose sobriquet is The Shamrock Isle Graham and whole wheat bread are not authorized substitutes. The list of substitutes up to date which the food admins tration approves and which it asks the people to use to the greatest extent, in order that the wheat flour may be saved to be shipped over seas with which to win the war is as follows: rye flour, rye graham flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, cornmeal, corn flour, corn starch, rice flour. pearl barley, flour from the soya, lima and pinto beans, "nCdI llOuit pan cake flour, corn breakfast foods, rye breakfast foods. oatmeal rolled oats, banana and peanut flour.
 The public is especially asked to eat more corn. There are many ex- cellent ways of using corn meal in preparing toothsome breads Leaf lets containing recipes will be dis tributed along with the 1918 Home Card in a few days.
 The "Victory" loaf now being prepared by the bakers is meeting with approval from all sides This bread contains a certain percentage of the authorized substitutes, the amount of substitutes is. to be grad ually increased up to February 24th at which time a minimum substitute of 20 per cent. of the substituted Hours must be used.

RENEWED INTEREST HAS BEEN LATELY AWAKENED
 IN RED CROSS CIRCLES

DOUGLAS, Jan. 31.-The regular semi-weekly meeting at Red Cross headquarters yesterday afternoon in dicated by the large attendance present, that renewed interest in the work has awakened among the women of the Island and that hence forth these meetings, which are held at headquarters in Labor Union Hall every Wednesday and Friday and at The Pines in South Treadwell every Tuesday, will all be largely attended when the weather is such that the interest in preparing supplies is steadily growing, the only drawback being in scarcity of yarn, of which it seems to be almost impossible to keep a supply commensurate with the demand. A new consignment of yarn is expected on an early steam CT and in the meantime a number of undergarments for use in army hospitals are being made, many of the workers doing the sewing at their homes.
 Another good turnout is expected at the meeting tomorrow when the ladies of St. Luke's Guild will serve tea to the workers, the proceeds go- ing to the Red Cross fund.
 During the past ten days num- Der of women have been attending these semi-weekly meetings who had not formerly been seen there, but who were willing workers in anything they could do for the organization at their homes.
