Also Salads

Lime-fruit flavor makes tart, green salad jell. Serve
with your salads or mix the salads in before cooling. Or
mix in meat scraps and make a delicious meat loaf.
Mint flavor makes a garnish jell, rich in fresh-mint
favor. Serve with roast lamb or cold meats.

Fruit Essences Sealed i'm Glass

Jhfy-Jell fruit favors are made from the fruit itself. They are
essences condensed from fruit juices. They come sealed in glass
vials-a bottle IN each package-so they keep their fresn-fruit taste.
The favors are rich and abundant. We use half a pineapple to
make the flavor for one JhfyJel dessert. We use IS big Logan
berries to favor another. So Jify-Jei desserts are realfruit dainties.
They have all the delights, all the healthfuness of fruits.
That is where JifyJell differs so vastly from the old-style
gelatine dainties.

Frank Manton an old timer of this district who has of late years been mining in the upper country, is at present in Seattle. Writing about conditions in. the latter city he states that since the conclusion of hostili- ties over seas the army of unempioy- ed is growing automatically.
 Wages are steadily declining while the cost of living remains at it's pres ent high level. Manton says that the war has been a glorious harvest for the Seattle spirit, but as the busi- ness men have to retrench now they are putting up an awful roar.
 The opponents of the Seattle spirit are a unit in demanding a lowering of wages all around although there are no signs yet of a reduction in the price of necessities.

Wm Stipek who left here last sum mer for the states went to work in a shipyard in Tacoma Wash, after his arrival, finding the painting business very slack. He states that Herman Webb and Carl Hendricks from Tel Ter ware working in shipyards in Tacoma. Also met Fred Weller, ex ganymede of the Board of Trade who is working as a painter in the ship yards and there were many other Nomeites whose names he could not recall employed in Tacoma at the time he wrote. He states that the laboring men were very dissatisfied with existing conditions and that con- siderable agitation for strike was being carried on among them.
 Wages were not near as high as they had been led to believe while the cost of living was steadily mount ing higher.
