TWO ADMIRALS
 HAVE ARRIVED

Early yesterday morning Admirals James Moore and George Moody ar- rived in Fairbanks from the Tolovana river, where they have been engaged in the freighting business for the past summer. The upcoming trip was a difficult one owing to the low stage of water in the Panama.
 The liners will be put in winter quarters at the "boneyard" at the foot of Lacy street until next sum- mer, when they again will be put to use. Both admirals will follow some other line of endeavor during the winter months until the opening of navigation next summer.

SLUSH ICE IS
 NOW RUNNING

Slush ice is beginning to make it's appearance in the Cinema river. Shortly after midnight Thursday large pieces were noticed coming down stream and from that time on the run commenced to get heavier. Yesterday it was fairly thick and it will only be matter of few days until the slough may be frozen over.
 By late arrivals from the lower Panama it is said that no ice has yet made its appearance in that stream, the river running perfectly clear of chunks. AS yet no ice has been formed along the shores of the river, which fact is greatly appreci- ated by those engaged in the Flyer search.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-08-09

The promise of plenty of tomatoes
this fall puts every housewife on her
mettle to find new ways of keeping
them for winter use. A recipe used by
an old Italian cook and given to Miss
A. L. Marlatt of the home economics
department of the University of Wis
consin describes the method of making
Italian tomato paste. Miss Marlatt
has modified the recipe to meet the
needs of Wisconsin kitchens.
Cut ripe tomatoes in half, sprinkle
them evenly with salt, place in fiat
pan or on drying racks in slow oven
or over range, or in the sun. Cover
the tomatoes and allow them to dry
slowly until about the consistency of
peach butter. Pack in sterilized jars
or wide mouthed bottles, and seal with
paraffin.
One small jar of the paste will last
indefinitely, as one teaspoon OF the to-
mato is enough to flavor a cupful of
sauce.
1.-THE special advantage of this meth
cd of keeping tomatoes for winter use
is" says Miss Marlatt, "that it takes
so few cans to keep great many to-
matoes. This is an important matter
when one considers the number Of cans
that will be needed to complete the
canning season. Saving cans also saves
space on the shelves, and the house
wife with a well-stocked cellar will ap-
preciate this point.
