Delightful Dinner Party.

The Alaska daily empire., 1918-01-28
Board of Underwriters Have Agreed to a 10 Per Cent. ..Reducti0n
 For Business
INCREASES ELSEWHERE
The New Rates Became Effective on Jan. 11th and Apply to All
 New Business

New fire insurance rate schedules for the mercantile section of Jul neau, which provides a reduction of 10 per cent from the rates now in effect, were received by the local agents in the mail arriving on the steamer Jefferson yesterday.
 The residence rates were reduced last fall, the reduction ranging from 20 to 40 per cent, and the entire city now has the benefit of the i'm provements begun in 1916 and com. pleted last year.
 When Board Surveyor Hamilton inspected the improvements last summer, he recommended to the board a reduction of rates in both the residence and mercantile sec tions. After due consideration the reduction for the residence section was passed .but the board decided against the other reduction.
 It is the opinion of the local agents that there would have been no hesitency on the part of the board in granting the reductions rec commended by MT. Hamilton had it not been for the fact that increases and not reductions had been the rule throughout the United States for several months prior to the time that it came to the consideration of Juneau rates.
 The National Board of Fire Un- derwriters has recently advised all the divisional boards to increase rates 10 per cent on all classes of busi- ness in the United States and most sections in the eastern and middle states are now paying increased rates varying from 10 per cent to 25 per cent.
 The reduction here is the result of persistent effort on the part of the city council, of which B. D. Stew art was mayor, the Juneau Water company, the fire department and the local agents.
 MT. Allen Shattuck, local agent of twenty-six board companies during the past year has been untiring in his efforts, to secure the reduction to which he had assurances from the board the city would be entitled after the improvements were made. H. R. Shepard and Son have also been working hard for the rate re duction.
 The new rates take effect on Jan uary 11th and all business written after that date will take the new schedule
 The reduction means a saving to
 the city of approximately $500 fol | every $1,O00 of business written in
 the mercantile section, and is wei come exception to the almost uni versal advance which is met on ev cry side.

A ruling has been made that in making any combination sales under this program, dealers shall name a price for each of the articles so sold which shall not represent more than a normal per cent profit on any of the articles sold.
 Millers of flour are to distribute their output through their custo- mary channels and markets in such manner that each city, town and district may receive its usual pro- portion. The wheat millers have been required to produce 1 bbl. of flour 196 pounds from 253 lbs. of wheat. This is white flour and represents from 2 per cent to 4 per cent higher extraction than from last years harvest.
 To assist further in conservation, Monday and Wednesday of each week are to be observed as wheat less days and one meal of each day as wheatless meal. This applies both in the home and in the public eating place. And on such days and meals no crackers, pastries, mac aroni, breakfast foods or other cer- calls containing wheat should be used. The only exception to this is such small amounts of flour as may be needed for thickening soups or gra- vies or as a binder in corn bread or othor caroa1 hroads
 On wheatless days and at wheat less meals the Food Administration urges that bread baked in the home be other than whole wheat bread. Where bread is purchased either for use in public eating plac- es or in the homes Victory Bread should be used if no wheat sub- stitutes can be found. The Fed eral Food Administrator in each State and Territory will announce the meal to be observed as wheat less meal in his State or Territory | If no meal is designated the Food Administration prefers that the ev ening meal be wheatless.
 It is further desired in order that
 meat and pork products be conserv' ed that one meatless day. (Tues day) in every week and one meat less meal in every day be observed
 and in addition tp the porkles' days. Tuesdays and Saturday in ev
 erey week be strictly kept. B!
 meatless is meant without hog, cat
 tie or sheep products. On othel
 days use mutton and lamb in pref
 erence to beef or pork. By pork I less is meant without pork. bacon
 ham. lard or pork products fresl
 or preserved. Use fish, poultry an eggs.
 | For local situations where excep
 tions are necessary. application should be made to the Federal Foo Administrators.

SNAP BEAMS

Bush and pole beans are among the
most valuable and dependable crops of
the garden. "When in doubt what to
plant-plant beans"
Beans thrive best in Il rather warm
sandy loan. but may be grown on al
most any kind of soil. For the best
results the soil should not be too rich
in nitrOgenOuS matter, or the plants
will run to foliage and stems at the
expense of the crop. Beans will not
withstand frost, and the first paintings
in the spring should not ne made until
about two weeks after the average
date of the last killing frost. The soil
should be in good condition and the
rows should be laid out perfectly
straight so as to make cultivation easy.
One pint of the seed of most varieties
of snap beans is sufficient for 100
foot row. When the cultivation is to
be done by horse, the rows should be
from so to Sc inches apart. When
hand cultivation is to be employed, the
rows should be from Is to 81 inches
apart. 1t requires from 10 to co days
for snap beans to be ready for use
if the weather conditions are favor
able.
Successive paintings of string beans
should be made at intervals of ten
days to two weeks throughout the
growing season. BY following this
scheme Il constant supply of tender
beans will be assured.
